Second precinct Democrats INDUCED
in a magnificent demonstration at
Shilrs hall, on the corner of Fourth
South and Second West last evening,
the speakers being Hon. c. r. Savage,
Dr.. II. j. Faust and Hon. James H.
Moyle. The spacious auditorium was
packed, every seat being filled, and
though the room was cold, for Sam had
no coal in his bunkers, every person re-
manned in his or her place till the meet
ing closed.
The meeting opened with a song by
the boys of the jefferson quartette. af-
- which Hon. c. r. Savage was in
a oduced.
Hon. c. r.. Savage.
Mr. Savage, it will be remembered,
is one of the nominees for the Office of
state senator. In opening his remarks
he called the attention of his audience
TO that fact and said he hoped If
elected his conduct would demons ,rate
the peoples wisdom in sending him
there. He wanted to act in all things
for the good of the people and to do the
Bets which would materially assist the
common veal. This was Democratic
doctrine and he was, if an. thing, a
Democrat of the most pronounced type.
MIR. Savage said when the time came
for the people here to divide on party
lines he asked a friend of his, Arthur
L. Thomas, to which party he, the
speaker. should ally himslf, and the
ex-governor said the Republican party,
for ii was the party of progression.
1T was the party, he said, which was
composed of the respectable element
of the country while Democracy was
composed of the people who live in
the lower walks of life the commoners.
Il told him right there and then my
lot would be cast with the commoners."
Mr.. Savage stated that he had in
vestigated and studied the principles
of the two great parties from his birth
and since that time, and that he was
sincere in saying that he never re-
GREETED the choice he had made. He
discovered that the Democratic party
CgaVe him an individuality that he
could get with no other organization;
that its principles applied to govern
mental action meant the freeSt and
fullest liberty to the individual and
was all that man living among men
could ask. This was a contradistinc-
ton to the policy taught by the Re-
publicans. They are the disciples of a
property and of the well born and the
rich; the classes against the masses.
For thirty long years ne had noted
Utah under Republican rule and those
L apirty years We're one night. With the
aection of the Democratic candidate
Tor president came the first ray of the
morning sun. The light had increased
until now we are in the full tide of the
MONDAY sun with the doors Of state
hood open waiting for Us to enter.
The measures of relief which have
emanated from Democracy are multi
farious. But we look in vain for one
single gracious aGt of magnanimity
from the Republicans.
There was a time in the history of
the party when all at once men became
Republicans in single night. Why
this was so he could not pretend to
explain, unless they were better Chris
tians than he was and could love their
enemies When the Republicans
formed their party in 1856 there were
two planks in the platform, one which
declared for the abolition of slavery
and one for the abolition of polygamy.
That was the original When those
two ends were accomplished he eX-
pected the party would disband be-
&uSe the days of its usefulness were
ended. But it did not do it, but taking
up the cry Of protection" promised
to lead the people of the land into
green pastures and by the still waters
where ali was peace. 1t has since that
time pictured, on canvass, the Ameri-
can workingman in his happy home
while the protected factories were filled
with imported labor doing for cheaper
wages than the American could live

ing power of the dollar has been in
creased. He now sold goods in his
store which before its passage were
three times the value they are at
present. This rule also applies to 9TH
er businesses. Protection kept up the
prices and people bought imported
goods, but now the duty has been TAX
elo off. the wheels Of industry are turn
Alg and trade is commencing to i'm
Brove. The speaker said the Demo-
Gratis of this section were the real
protectionists because they purchase
homemade goods to a larger extent
than any other class.
DIR. III. J.. Faust.
Ror. f. J. Faust was the next speak
q. He declared he had been a Democrat
all his life. He had fought the battle
twenty-six years with a few others.
Those were the days when such men as
J zane GdItGQ iitHl llS S3SP
Brush" Democracy. But although few
in number they had laept the faith and
finally after many years victory
crowned their efforts and the division
on party lines came. Then it was that
the fellows who had been shouting the
loudest against the Sage Brush con-
tingent allied themselves with the Re-
publicans where they are still to be
found raising the same old hue and
cry.
Within the last five years Republicans
have been in power. True, they called
themselves by another name, but the
name cuts no figure. They have bonded
the city until it has to pay $40 inter
est every day.
An old Republican had told him a
few days ago the Democratic party had
taken an unfair advantage of the Re
publicans. They waited till the latter
nominated lot of scrubs and then
put up good men.
The speaker alluded to the scanvass
through the country and only needed a
monkey and hand organ to make the
szaow complete And if you elect
Aepublican legislature Ike will go to
;Ae senate in the interest Of the Sugar
trust and the Central Pacific. But this
viii not happen, for Utah is going
Democratic and will roll up a major |
ity which will do her and her people |
credit
The Glee club then sang Just Be-
fore the Battle, Truunbo," which pro-
voked hearty applause.
