bounties The last legislature en-
deavored to pass bounty bills for every
thing in sight. And even members of
the party appealed to the governor
deal of the zephyr in the Republican
doctrine. Principally air. Before cleo
ton it is party of promise and after
election a party of evasion.
Fisher s. Harris Witty.
Fisher S. Harris, who spoke next,
made a decided hit He began by
stating that this was the first time in
his life he had ever had the last word
where woman was in the case. This
sally set the crowd to laughing and
afterwards whenever Harris made
good point it was we'll received. Mr..
Harris advised all Democrats to avoid
personalities in this campaign. First,
because when one INDUCES in that kind
of work, one is apt to forget the main
chance and second, for the reason the
opposition isn't worth the trouble.
When the hopeful pioneer first came
to the valleys and mountains of this
great garden of the gods his heart was
filed with anticipation OF the good
time which would come in the future.
The sky had clearer blue for him;
the sunset painted the purple hill with
richer colors; the sheen on the bright
waters was more pleasing as he
! thought of the time when Utah would
take her place among the sisters, in the
galaxy of stars, which adorn the blue
of the national emblem.
What was the result when the Re-
publican party was asked to open the
front door oil the mansion of govern
ment and admit the young candidate?
ppointment.
What has been the result of all
Utah's appeals to the Republican
party? Disappointment.
Call up one act which the Republi-
cans have done for the good of Utah
while the party was in power True
when they were cut of power they
worked wonders.
Benefits From Democracy.
Mr.. Harris then alluded to the re-
suits which have accrued since De-
mocracy has ruled. Statehood has
come to us. We are going to enter
the Union. Not only that. but we
have had granted to this new state
the lands which, under Republican
rule, have been devoted to the sole
use of handful of Indians, who will
not till the soil nor permit anyone
else to till it.
Democracy is like the sturdy oak in
the forest. 1t withstands the hurri-
canes which hurl its fellows in the
| dust; it breasts the winter storms
which chill and destroy; it defies the
years which crumbIe and decay. Its
principles are eternal and God-given.
| Democracy has lived to see parties
rise and fall. Through all the years
which have elapsed since it founded
itself on the rock of truth it has been
! assailed. But, like the storm-beaten
rocks on the sea shore, when the waves
! subside and the wind is hushed it has
risen. calm and majestic as before.
Referring to the silver question, Mr..
Harris declared that because the
president is against the white metal,
the enemies of the party say De-
! mocracy is against silver.
! Straight Silver Talk.
Our political enemies are continu-
ally referring to the fact that Mr..
that statement to convey the false i'm
preston that his enmity towards sill
yer commits the great body of the
Democratic party to the policy of gold
recommendation. In this connection [
am sure that / voice the sentiments of
nine-tenths of the Democratic rank
and file when l say with the utmost
earnestness that I decline to give the
keeping of my political conscience into
| the hands of that gentleman who, sit
ting on the porch of his home a t Buz-
yards Bay and gazing eastward across
! the Atlantic, in his fancy sees the
white cliffs of England and draws
therefronE the inspiration for his fnan-
ciaI policy"
Republicans talk of the friendship
of their party for silver. 1t was their
hands that struck down the metal
which has been money since the days
when Father Abraham watched his
fiocks grow and multiply. But then,
everyone knows all about silver in this
country-all except Trumbo. And the
Democratic party is the party of sill
yer. Eight-tenths of the party are
/ silver men; there are twenty-five sill
/ yer Democrats to one silver Republi-
/ can.
/ Look at Reed. Harrison and all the
! balance of the Republican leaders Do
You hear them saying anything about
| the silver question? No; they are as
quiet as convention of CLAIMS.
Democrats and Industry.
Bishop r. II. Burton prefaced his re-
marks by saying he was a Democrat,
| but not a politician. He deplored all
| bitterness in a campaign and wanted
| politics conducted on a broad plane. 1t
| is a battle of principles and not bit
| terness and heart burnings
Bishop Burton said he had heard the
/ Republicans were responsible for in
Tlustrial Utah. This was not true. The
first factory in Utah was built by a
! Democrat. Democrats have ever been
to the front in matters of this kind.
/ Bishop Burton declared that he did
not like a party which made the rich
richer and the poor poorer. and he
| had noticed from the records in the
/ case this was the chronology of the
Republican party.
/ Referring to local history, the
! speaker said all the congressional dele
gates from Utah had become Demo-
Gratis save one, and all found Republi-
cans in power except one. What was
the result? Nothing was given Utah
except when the Democrats had the
opportunity, and then statehood re-
suited When the Republican party
was in power the delegates from Utah
side of the house.
! The speaker advised that honest
men be elected-men with no rolls
but men of principle and integrity.
AT the conclusion of the bishops
speech the meeting adjourned with
three rouSing cheers for the. success
of Democracy.
