PARK CITY, Nov 3.-The closing
rally of the Democratic party in Park
City was held at the opera house last
evening.
The building had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion, and long
before the hour named for the open
ing of the programme it was well
filed.
Mr.. Chambers Chairman.
Scion Spiro introduced Mr.. r. C.
chambers as chairman of the meet
ing, and the gentleman was received
with great applause. He conveyed his
thanks to the large audience present.
This was but the sixth day of his can
vass in the district but from all he
could gather the Democrats would
surely be right side up when the votes
were counted. He had not made a
personal canvass. because he did not
believe IT was necessary for him ITO do
SO. He had lived here twenty-three
years, and the people of the camp
ought TO know him; if they did not
now, then they never would. He had
nothing to say politically that he had
not said before. His record was be-
fore the people. and they knew what
1t was If elected, as he sincerely be-
lieved he would be, he would fill the
position to the best of his ability-be-
You'd that he could promise nothing
more. (Applause)

Mr.. Chambers then pulled the silver
record on the Republican party, quot

The Silver King.
Mr.. Chambers then went into
matter that everybody in the camp is
familiar with-the shutting down of
the Silver King and other mines, and
his efforts through which the Daily and
the Ontario were kept running. Which

That was a question, he thought, that

ct is true said Mr.. Chambers,
"the mines under my charge are not
Tow paying the wages they did: but
they did not shut down, as did the
Anchor and the Silver King and
others! [Aplause.) If the Ontario
did not pay old prices. and it did not
pay them because it could not under

that, there is an agreement which
