RemonetiZe Silver

Remonetize Silver.
AS soon as this business was over
there were immediate calls for Rob
erts! Robertsr' and Judge Henderson
asked If Mr.. Roberts was in the
house In a few minutes he was
brought forward on the stage and re-
ceived with a hearty round of cheers
and applause He looked around at
the ladies on the stage and in the
audience and began calmly, but
warmed UP even sooner than usual
! and gave such an Grafton as drew
forth the widest applause from his
AUDITORS.
Mr.. Roberts said the right to hold
Individual opinions and give Utterance
to them without regard to others, is
Of the essence of Democracy. The ac-
ceptance of accomplished facts and
submission to the will of the majority
is of the essence of Agnericanism and
Democracy. They are synonymous
terms. (Appiause) Without regrets
for the past-(applause - without
apologies or pledges for the future,
save those to be inferred from un-
selfish adherence to Democracy in
the past. he took part in the cOnven-
ton and congratulated those present
upon the harmony in their own ranks,
tory to moving on the enemy (Ap-
plause) A year ago there was such a
gathering. The Democrats were sur
rounded with gloom. Armies Of men
were moving across the country, mills
were closed. the hum of industry We'll
nigh hushed. There was unrest and
dissatisfaction among the people. The
other party, like the man who steals
goods and then cries, stop Thiefi''

The Position Different.
But now the position is different
Conditions have changed and are still
changing. The measure of tariff re-
form. hatred and reviled as, it was. is
meeting the demands of the govern
ment. Idle men are being absorbed in
the revival of industries. Factories
are resuming. Crippled as we were q
year ago we almose beat them. Now
when the sun of prosperity is emery
ing from behind the clouds that OBJ
scured it, is it not meet 10 believe that |
we will win? At that last convention
we put our cause in the hands of our I
ablest leaders and they took them I'D |

the delegates take home the resolu- !

warm them UP at their fresides as

No Dead Issues.
Let them not lead us into the dead
issues. Let us insist that they now

In 1S4S the Democrats
passed a measure of tariff reduction
There was much complaint at the
time. But in 1857. such had been the
good results, that even the 'Republi-
,ans were so far converted that they
at least consented TO still further re-
luctions of the tariff. If we can ho-d
The ground we have gained it will be
out a few years before the people
Will demand still further reductions. +,
The Great Issue Now.
'BUt that is an issue well night set
led. That is no longer the leading
question before the American people
We must now face the financial is 4
'ue. The Republican party will have
o face its record on that Our peo- {
he, feeling that the remonetization of 1
liver means the return of our pros- ,
,erity and believing it is for the good ,
# all the nation, must be taught that i
here is at least a better hope OF free
oinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
n the Democratic party than in the
party.
At Least More Hope.
The speaker understood that the
Republicans rather pride themselves
N the character Of the men within
heir party. They claim that they
AVE wealthy and well educated peo-
lie of the country with them. No
loubt they have. The Republican
,arty is the party of the classes. The
Democratic party is the party of the
,eople Cod is the money OF the
ich, and highly educated men. Silver
S the money of the people. The party
halt boasts of the wealth and in
diligence of its members will be true
O the money classes. The party that
boasts that it is the party of
he people will be true ITO the money
f the people until it opens up the
hints of the country to the free and
Unlimited coinage of silver. Cap
,lause and cheers.) The Democratic
'arty should remain true TO those
principles which have been at its
oundation and during its whole his
DRY. 1t being true to them it is al
rays great. If it is I do not doubt
hat the people of Utah viii be true
0 the party of the people and we will
ain splendid victory in 1895.
