To the editor of The Herald.
On Friday evening last Hon. David
Evans and Mr. A. G. Barber at the
Union Opera house at Hyrum, gave an
excellent address oni the great princi-
pies of Democracy to a large audience.
Mr. Evans in a clear and concise man
ner showed the evils of the Mckinley
Dill; its terrible effect vn trade and
commerce throughout the United States
and the good results that had followed
the operation of the Wilson act. That
IN the short space of one year trade
had begun to revive everywhere. Fac
tories and furnaces and every other
avenue of trade had taken new life.
The hearts and homes of the Ameri-
can workmen were filed with JOY and
gladness, and if only one years eX-
perience of Democratic taxation for
revenue only had done so r1uch for the
workingmen of America, would 1t not
be a good thing to continue to sup
port the party that had brought pros
perity, where disaster had resulted
from Republican methods? Beth gen.
tlemen gave straight Democratic dec
trine that had telling effect in this
Democratic year.
house was packed with an audience
close as sardines in a box. Every
nook and corner was craraed, and
the drawing card was TrunbO and his
negro MINISTRIES. That it was the best
show ever seen in Hyrum is saying but
little.
Hon. Charles Crane was the chair
man. In his speech he said: I'VE are
here under the auspices of no commit
tee. but simply for ourselves. He
then told US in rambling way that
for every good that had come to Utah
we were indebted to the g. o. p. De-
mocracy had done nothing. His
speech was tame and his party, as
sembled on the stage, did the applaud
ing The silence of the vast audience
fell like a wet blanket.
John P. Meakin, an elocutionist, also
was we'll received. The colored men
again met with favor.
Colonel Trumbo then took the floor,
and said in part:
This is not my first appearance in
your beautiful town. l attended school
with one of your toWnsmen, the Rev.
Samuel Unsworth; we were studying
for the ministry. One day Bishop Tut
tie called up before him and said:
Isaac, you don't like It. I said no,
bishop, but don't tell my folks. The
fact is, my friends, there was no money
in it" The colonel then paid a high
tribute to Hons. Joseph l.. Rawlins,
Moses Thatcher and John I. Caine.
He said no man has worked harder for
Utah than Mr.. Rawlins. We worked
together for Utah's statehood. He is
an honored man, and with him and
Moses Thatcher Should Democracy
succeed) in the senate of the United
States, Utah would be honored by these
gentlemen, and Moses Thatcher will
not have to depend on his salary for
livelihood Hon. John T. Game has
been a hard worker for Utah for many
years. He is an upright, honest gen
tieman. and this great state VIII be
honored with him as its head. The
years he has been working for you he
has been on the defense-the whole
United States has been on the side OF
the prosecution. No man could have
worked harder or done better. Not
one word for Wells or Allen or any of
the Republican nominees. This silence
was most awful; it was worse than re-
pudiation. This kind of campaigning
is a mystery to our local Republican
friends. They don't understand it, and
it sent the cold chills down their spi-
nal column.
Glassman had either gone or been
sent nome Any IlOhN, AAC w as ltON wien
the show here.
The Hon. Lee Fairchild was a great
disappointment to our people. He was
the one man advertised who had con
verified the United States to the great
principles of Republicanism. Our peo-
pie looked to him to eXpound the par
tvs principles. but no, he was the
Mark Twain of the outfit or the funny
man or clown of the show. He has
certainly mistaken his calling-hf
would shine as the end man in a min
strel troupe or as the funny fellow ir
a third rate pantomime. All he did was
to tell funny stories against the Dem,
ocracy. with a view to make the great
audience laugh and arouse some en-
thusiasm, as throughout the whole
time the applause had been confined tt
the stage. Yes, it was big show, ant
as T have said, the best ever had here
Had money been the price of admis
sion a large sum would have been ia
ken. The whole tenor of the speeches
was to work up the feelings on hare
times. but as the Democracy here con
slider the whole evening was in theil
/ favor we have no kick. Surely thi:
must be a Democratic year. S.
