Presented With Il Badge.
Hon. John T. Game made a strong
impression on the people by
a mastery address upon the
principles that should determine the
policy of our new state. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Gaines address he was
presented with a handsome badge by
the ladies Of Spanish Fork in a very
neat and appropriate speech by Miss
Elizabeth Chisolm. who referred to the
] splendid record of Mr.. Game in Con-
greSS and elsewhere and the certainty
that the people of Utah felt that with
| Mr.. Game as the chief executive of
Utah the interests of the state would
be in excellent hands Mr.. Game
responded briefly, expressing his graft
tude. The badge was of tasselated
silk, with a silver pendant reading
John T. Caine, presented by the
ladies' of Spanish Fork" The star of
Utah adorned the center.
Roberts MasterfuI Address
Mr. Roberts made a masterful argu-
ment on the general principles dividing
the people, on the false predictions
made by Republicans last year concern
ing the certainty of disaster under
/ Democratic rule; on the hopelessness of
silver in the Republican party, and
other timely topics to the convincing
of many doubtful and to the delight of
/ the party. Touching the church and
state question Mr.. Roberts quoted from
church works and authorities declara-
tons of the presidency asserting the
! separation of church and state, paid a
magnificent tribute to the character
and genius of Moses Thatcher, assert
/ ing that the statement of George NJ
Cannon that Mr. Thatcher was nomi-
mated Simply because he was a Mormon
as transparent absurdity.
/ At the close of his speech the badge
/ incident was repeated and in a most
happy address by Miss Clara Jones the
ladies Of this stalwart town, presented
the eloquent and popular Roberts with
a badge reading similarly to that of
the governor. The speeches of the
young ladies were gems of intelligence
and rhetoric and persuaded Mr.. Rob
erts that whatever objections there
may be to suffrage a lack of intelli-
gence cannot be numbered among
| them.
On to SpringviIIe.
The meeting closed with three cheers
for Thatcher, Roberts and Game and
one for the whole ticket Luncheon
followed. AIT 1 o. m. a long procession
was formed in which the 16 to 1 ladies
and the band were conspicuous. The
march to Springville was a triumphal
procession during which the line was
augmented with carriages and horse
men at every furlong. About half way
a procession from Springville awaited
the distinguished party and thus added
to-. the cavalcade moved rapidly for
ward to the latter town where meeting
was appointed at ? p. m. There were
by actual count an even 100 vehicles in
the procession and LAT men and young
ladies on horseback. Shot guns figured
in the reception, while the firing of
anvilS was a frequent occurrence,
Crowds of people lined the streets and
as Roberts and Game passed by cheer
after cheer were given. The procession
cOuntermarched on Main street.
By the time Reynolds hall was
reached an eager multitude had
crowded almost every available inch
of space. At the time of mailing this
it appears that an overflow meeting
must be held to accommodate those
crowded out of the main hall. Utah
county is rising to the occasion. 1t
knows a good thing when it sees it.
and when gentlemen of the ability
and distinction of Messrs. Roberts,
Game and Young came among tham
they know how to give them a fitting
reception. This is still a Democratic
year. and unterrified Democracy will
not concede that it is mistaken in
this view, until it shall be made mani
fest by the votes. if that unhappy and
unexpected result should occur. No
such enthusiasm has been seen in this
part of Utah before and is in very
marked contrast to the cold reception
accorded to the Republican trio. Put
Utah county down on the side of
equal and exact justice to all, with !
special privileges to none.

EUREKA. Oct 25.-Messrs. Roberts, !
Game and Young held two successful |
meetings in this vicinity yesterday.
At 2 p. m. a. meeting was held at /
Mammoth. which was well attended,
though not crowded, owing to the fact |
that the mills and mines demanded
the services Of a large part of the |
voters. The party was augmented by |
Messrs. McCune and Pike, as local can !
didates for the legislature Addresses
were made by Messrs. Roberts. Game |
and Young The former directed his
attention to political subjects. and /
succeeded. as stated by Superintendent
Nesbitt, in searching out the weak
points of the Republican armor. In
the evening at s, a splendid and atten-
tive audience gathered at the Odd Eel
lows hall in Eureka. Mr.. Game out
lined his policy. Mr.. Young was intro
duced to the audience, but declined to
make a speech to an audience inpa-
tent to hear Mr. Roberts. The latter
was in his hapiest mood, and made
a most powerful address, upon the gem
eral issues, the silver question, and
the charge of issuing bonds in time of
peace
This visit of the state nominees has
certainly. strengthened the Democracy.
and it may be set down as probable,
that Juab will this year move into
the Democratic column.
John Kirby is the Republican NOM
inee for our mayor. The Democrats
will name the successful candidate.
however, on Friday evening.
