Judge Malone, in conclusion, referred
a. the constitution which he said was
not all that it might be but on the
whole was pretty good and contained
Within itself the means of changing it
If FOUND necessary. He suggested tina 1
all tho, people vote for its adoption.

The Tuscarora yell went up when
Fisher S. Harris took the platform.
What Republican, filling his gas
Economical interior with eastern
zephyrs, could look upon this gather
ing and say there was no chance for
Democratic success?" began the
speaker. He was not present to advO-
cate his own election, other than that
1t meant in part Democratic success.
Democracy is the pioneer in this I'M
dis 1Vered country Of undeVeloped ad-
VanCement 1t has always been the
first to hear the cry of labor. When
labor lay in the dark corners of Re
publican despair the white arm of
Democracy, like the arm of Gods hope
reached down and restored it to its
rights. Believing in the honesty of
Democracy we go to the people and
fSk a judgment And we viii be salts
& whatever the result of the contest
q4a2T be. Whether We march under
Waving palms, with hugles singing a
tYAr&n Of triumph. or the mourners
weeping under the cypress branches
OF woe.

A j. Weber, the next attorney-gen-
er3l Of Utah, said the eStima BILE gem
uleman who would have the honor to
DE the defeated candidate in the race
with B. II. Roberts for Congress had
said that the silver question was the
issue of the day. He was right. We
will not dispute the assertion, but we
say it is the Democratic party which
viii espouse that cause. We want the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at a ratio of 16 to l, and we will have
a majority in the Democratic ranks
who want it also and want it badly.
There was never a time since 1873 but
silver could have been remonetized had
there been no Republicans in Congress
and never since 1873 was there a time
when silver could have been demone-
tiAsd had there been no Democrats in
Congress.
The Republicans are the natural
friends of the gold bugs.
If the Republican party cast 40 per
cent of its vote for free silver ten
years ago, and only 10 per cent now,
how long viii it take to get a, free
coinage bill through a Republican

In the States which have held Repub-
lican conventions this year there was
not even me man to raise feeble
protest against the tons
of the Republican party or its action
towards silver The Republican party
IS indissolublv united to the single
gold standard. It is more than the
friend of the gold bugs. 1t is other
wise with the Democracy. In 1896 we
shall nominate and elect free silver
pres dent on a free silver platform
when We shall send our senators to
washington and their names shall
neither be Ikey nor Charley. We shall
have an American system OF finance
: INSTEAD of an English system and we
TSaall have an American system of tax
alton instead of an Asiatic.

A telegram from W. S. r. Thurman,
announcing his inability to attend,
was read, together with a letter from
Richard ". Young. who is away on
IN coast.
AIrna Greenwood occupied the plat
form for few moments in a speech
in which he declared his faith in the
principles Of the Democratic party.
Inasmuch as the Democratic party, by
its minority in the constitutional con-
vention, had succeeded in guarding
the funds Of the state against the in
roads Of Republican bounty graobers,
he proposed to support that party and
the principles which surround it.
Professor Maeser.
Professor Carl Maeser said he was
unused to making political speeches,
but thought it right to mention few
of the principles which 1Tould govern
hNm in the execution of his duty as
stlperin+ endent of public instruction
when elected TO that Office. The Demo /
cratic party was the great guardian of
the liberties Of the people. The work
of public education must be conducted
according to the age and requirements !
OF the people. The common school is /
che sanctuary of the happiness and the /
education Of the people. There may |
be political tUrmoils, but there will al |
WAYS be men willing to roll away the |
stones which may be placed at the |
door Of the public school. He didn't |
believe in the old system of school |
discipline. when the teacher, with rod |
in hand. said to the scholar go and do |
SC and so or feel the rod. The teacher |
of today must be after the pattern of /
Jesus Of Nazareth and Utah had no |
use for any others.
y Hon. b. II. Roberts.
when Governor West presented Hon
X. H. Roberts, he received an ovation.
When quiet prevailed he said the late
ness of the hour necessarily made
Matchmaking brief. He observed In
ne Republican platform the monetary
nlestion was given a most conspicu-
Gus Mace. It demanded the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at ratio
Of 1e 10 l with gold. Immediately fol-
lowing was a condemnation OF the
Democratic bond sale. The candidate
for Congress on the Republican ticket
has made the silver question prom
snent one. He has declared the tarln
ouestion was not and would not be
until the present bond selling admin
sstration has been turned down. When
+he sneaker observed and heard all
this. he wondered if the party and It's
candidate realized their position.
Compare the planks, and that of the
Democratic party is equally emphatic
with their own. The convictions of the
on the Democratic ticket are
as strong as those Of the Republicans.
So it comes to pass that the only ques-
4ior, is (Which Of these two parties will
he able. by association with its fellows,
IN 40 the most toward the restoration
Of silver?"
You have heard the record read and
are able to judge as to the merits Of
the situation.
