Chairman Pack introduced the Salt
Lake Republican glee club, who sang

Mr.. A. G. Perry, Of Wyoming. was
| then introduced. He said that politics
was the science of government The
great issues at stake were free coinage
and protection tariff. Thomas Jefferson
was an ardent supporter of protective
tariff. He made the remarkable state
naent that the late legislation had
thrown 100000 men into idleness. We
have experienced free trade for one
year and it has proved very disas-

talk political economy, but they were

demonetized silver "a very unWise piece
! of legiSlation) and also assisted in the
repeal of the Sherman law. He said
much about the poems and dagos of this
country, but failed to state that they
were imported by the Republican syn

Tom Kearns' Queer Speech.
The chair then introduced Thomas
kearns, though he said he thought 1t
useless las you all know him."
Mr.. Kearns said he wished to COM
pare our United States senators. He
! brought up somt very stale anecdotes
for comparison. applause by three2
He made very feeble hit and missed
facts entirely He had been following
Mr.. Chambers around the country and
he used some of the latter'S sensible
remarks to try to curry favor. He said
Mr. c. had better go to his mansion
in San Francisco and there remain and
rock the cradle Democrats claimed
that Cleveland was a Republican.
After one state administration by the
Democrats they will then say Roberts,
RawMns and Caine are Republicans.
Admitting what Grover is, we will &C
cept him in our ranks but for Gods
sake don't force Roberts, Rawlins and
Game on u.s." After reciting a very
pathetic school boy piece he thanked
the people for their attention and took
his seat.
The Glee club then sang the piece en-
titled Free Silver"
Joseph Stanford was then introduced,
his entire speech being based on sta
tistics pretending to show the condition
Of the treasury when Harrison went
out of office. He said the accusation
that Harrison had the plates for bonds
engraved and on hand for the issuance
of bonds was maliciously false. The
sudden financial crisis was wholly and
solely due to the threatened passage OF
the. Wilson-Gorman bill and free trade
legislation. He got very much warmed
up while making these statements per
sisted in carrying the idea that bond
ing was wholly a Democratic doctrine.
He showed the increase of population
and decrease Of wealth, but failed to
state who held the wealth of the coun-
try. He cited statistics showing de-
crease of trade during Cleveland'S first
two years of administration, but aid
not state that the Mckinley bill was
still in force, and no revenue tariff
measure on the statute books. Mixed
with these statements were some ny
periodical statements in regard to the
condition of the people and CoXey'S
army He claimed he was stating
facts and yet said wages had been on
the decrease ever since the passage of
the Wilson-Gorman bill. He loudly
praised the Republican nominees, more
especially tine SllNST dpOSlItS, AIleu
and Frank Cannon, "the little Napo-
leon of the Republican party.
The Glee club sang America"

meeting to consider the address and
resolutions adopted by the Democratic
convention.
Kearn and his strong team held a
meeting in Woodland on Saturday even

Woodland is strongly Democratic.
Mr.. Stanford made the assertion that
instead of the significant majority last
fall of 1900, they would carry the terri
tory this fall by a magnificent major
ity Of 5000.
A general mass meeting is called for
Tuesday evening the 29th, to get the
expression of the people on the removal
