were DOING. But he claimed that sill
yer was fully demcnetized under the
present administration when the Sher-
man act was repealed. From that
day to this silver has been so dead
that no miner has been able to find
a market for an ounce of it" He did
not know whether the Republicans
would do more than the Democrats.
He believed Cleveland will be nomin-
ated for a third term. He was par
alyzed when he was elected sheriff
and dumbfounded when elected mayor.
When he was elected governor he
thought he was a man Of destiny and
when he was elected president he
thought he was equal to the Almighty
and he said You rule up there and
TIL rule down here" Silver can be re-
stored only through the Republicans.
He expects to vote for Don Cameron
next fall.
He then devoted himself to Game
and Wells. He said Game had played
the Big Injun in the Octoroon. He will
pass off the stage on November D. He
said he was ready to meet the issue on
men. The Republicans will say that
from top to bottom we have better
candidates than the Democrats can or
dare present
For two years after the Democrats
gained power the nation was stranded.
In the next election it will be buried
deeper than it was in 1861. Our ma
jority here will be five to one our way
this year. We would have showed
them under this fall"
In closing he made an attack on G.
W. Bennett, his rival in the senatorial
race. Bennett was not present and
Goodwin said he is becoming very
much of a skulk. He has been adver-
tised at several meetings lately and
has not been there. We will have to
read him a curtain lecture"
Arthur Brown followed on tariff,
silver. woman suffrage and few kim
dred topics. Charlie Stanton eulogized
Alexander HAMILTON and NJ. NJ. Kaign
closed the speaking.
The Republican county committee
held meeting yesterday and voted
to organize a campaign committee.
which will be announced in a few
days.
VIII Not Stump.
The two candidates for superintend-
ent of public instruction will not
stump the territory this fall. as wit
ness the following correspondence:
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah.
September II, 1895.
DR.. Karl G.. Maeser, Provo, Utah:
My Dear Sir:-It seems that our fell
low citizens have thought best to place
our names as rival candidates for the
| office of superintendent of public in
struction of the new state of Utah,
on the tickets Of the two great politi-
! cal parties of the country. AS you
! have publicly expressed yourself, and
| as 1 also believe, our public schools
and the high Office that comprehends
their supervision, should be free from
/ the evils of partisan strife, 1 am con-
WINGED that it would be inimical to
/ the best interest of those schools and
! inconsistent with the character of a
prospective incumbent of the Office
named, that he should take the
stump and, in a hot political cam
paign, harangue an excited populace
to favor his side.
I feel sure that you will agree with
me that the fitness of the candidates
and the merits Of the opposing sides
should be portrayed by those whose
duties or office will not be compro-
missed by taking such part, and that
we should mutually agree to refrain
from personally "stumping" the ter
ritory in behalf of ourselves or party
We shall both be subject, no doubt
to much misrepresentation and per-
| haps abuse, but between ourselves let
the campaign be a fair and honorable
one.
Please write me at once whether Oh
not you accept this proposition.
Yours truly,
JOHN R. PARK.
