WI VI lIdl DlOllOI say <AS N-
There was a thunder of Ayes from
all parts of the house.
"All opposed will say No"
Three solitary voices answered, and
the incident was over. The battle had
been easy.
Mrs. Ella Hayman, of Utah, and A.
c. WINS, OF Washington, were ap-
pointed to escort Judge Powers to the
chair. The chairman was received
with perfect ovation. The applause
was. SPONTANEOUS. 1t burst out in
hand claps; then followed stamping.
This proved too noiseless and cheers
and whistles succeeded. The ovation
was tremendous, lasting for some time.
Judge Powers speech.
Judge Powers spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Con-
vention:--You have gathered for the
purpose of exercising the high preroga-
| tive of naming the men who will MI
the offices of the new state OF Otah.
! (Applause)
You have responded to the bugle call
! of Democracy to make known the will
of the people. You gather under more
suspicious conditions than did the
Democratic territorial convention of
! 1894. when you placed the standard OF
a forlorn hope in the hands of Joseph
L. Rawlins CApplause1 The dark
! clouds aro breaking, and true Democ-
racy is exposing to view the silver
lining. (Applause.)
Today, fewer children go supperless
to bed. Today. the hum of industry is
stilling the footsteps of that vast army
of heart-broken men, who tramped the
nation a ragged, weary, living argu-
ment against Republican principles
and practices. (Applause) Today,
4 a xx-Orl<i1c living
wages, who, one year ago, sat nerve
/ less and disconsolate, by the dying en-
bers of famine stricken fireSides.
Doom of Monopoly.
The cry of manhood is being recog-
nized and the doom of plutocracy writ
| ten by the men and women Of the
party of the constitution, whose serV-
ants you have the honor to be. ZAP
plause.)
Democratic legislation upon the
tariff, has lighted the fires in the
FORCES until they shine through the
Republican night like beacon lights of
industrial freedom. The workers in
the savings banks have been increased
to receive the savings of the tOilers.
The plutocrats and monopolists, the
benefciaries of trusts and unlawful
combines, the bond shaYers and mil
lionaire pawn brokers, and all the
glitterng spawn OF Republican crea-
ton, stand startled and amazed zap
plause) at the handwriting on the wall,
inscribed there by the masses of the
American people, and declaring shat
no longer shall shackles of iron, or of
gold bind Gods children in the calling
slavery of poverty. Immense ap-
plause.l
And this has been done, despite the
fact that Democra tic officials, chosen
to serve the people, forget the prin-
ciples of Jefferson and have manipG-
lated our finances according to the
teachings of Hamilton. (Applause)
True Democrats have no excuses to
offer for those who prefer the morals
and the financial code of Wall street,
and the favors of Belmont and Roth
child, TO the temporal good of the
millions of America who toll with
brain and Drawn. On the contrary, the
picture of every leader untrue to the
principles of his party is sadly turned
TO the wall, and the great soul of De-
mocracy marches on toward the glory
of the future when man shall be the
master and money shall be his abject
servant.
Work of Democracy.
1t will be the work of Democracy to
restore to the people, silver and gold
as money. Ina upon lHP GdIiO OIL 10 u
!. (Applause) Vain is it for he Re
publicaas of Utah to hug to their
breasts the delusive hope tnat through
Republican success the people will
find relief The party of the be-
jewelled dude with rolled up pants;
the party of patent medicine and blue
glass cures: the party of cranlls and
visionary dreamers; which, without a
groan draws the golden chariot of
! no of 10 ~
earth, will never favor as money that
metal which will make the people free
! (Applause) The salvation of America
must be worked out by Democracy
rand every Democrat should declare
that regardless of party expediency OF
policy: regardless of the action of Eng
land or of any nation or anybody else
no matter how popular or powerful
the Democratic party in national con-
vention must declare in favor Of the
free coinage of silver, or accept defeat
at the hands of an outraged people
(Applause) l say this. because silver
is the money OF the masses; ii is the
money of Democracy; it is the money
of the constitution, and upon its esto-
ration to full power depends our hopes
for the future.
