ELEVENTH WARD RALLY.
Most Enthusiastic Meeting Held
Since the Division.

Since the Division.
The Democratic rally held at the
Eleventh ward meeting house last
evening. was not alone well attended.
but it was a hummer
w. j. Hamm presided. He announced
a song by the B. H Roberts Glee club.
The song was entitled "Democracy's
Big Four" and provoked unbounded
enthusiasm The club was recalled
and then sang Bring Out the Good Old
Mileage Book" 1t is needless to say
that the song brought down the house.
1t was appropriate in every way.
By this time the house was packed,
standing room was at a premium and
a great crowd was standing outside,
unable to gain entrance.
Mayor Baskin was the first speaker.
He said: II came here this evening,
not so much for the purpose of making
d speech, as to be instructed by the
eminent speakers who will follow me-
Governor West and Hon. Farley Will
liams. 1t is through the ballot box
that you make the laws of your coun-
and with a view of best subscribing the
interests of the country as a whole. I
notice that our Republican friends are
talking a great deal about tariff. Now,
the question does not concern us here
locally as much as it does nationally,
then it becomes of vital Importance"
He then went on in a clear and con-
else manner to deal with tariff and its
complications, and characterized the
Mckinley bill as the colossal fraud of
the nineteenth century.
The richest section of country under
the sun is the Mississippi valley, and
the western country ranks we'll up with
it, and still those sections are borrow
ers of money. Farms are heavily
mortgaged in the productive Missis-
sippi valley We here must borrow
money for our Improvements. Where
do we borrow it? We go for it to the
barren New England states. They are
now the leaders. The Mckinley bill
was monstrosity-the Wilson bill is
equal to our needs, and now there is
ample evidence of the country prosper
ing under its provisions.
The term common people" so gen
orally used, does not mean any lack
of ability but is used to designate the
beneficiary from the aristocracy. From
the common people has come those rev.
buttons that have done SO much for
the world-from the common people
have come all the great inventions of
the age that have done so much for
mems advancement and civilization.
AS to the crime of 1873, he was re-
minded of the Olden event when Christ
went up into the temple and finding
there the money changers plying their
trade, scourged them 50 as to make
them flee in fear and trembling. The
moneyed people were behind the de-
monetiZa ton of silver. The measure
was put through in their favor. The
common people are reaping the benefit
of such gigantic steal The copper
plant "fizzle'' was shown up all its gro
tesaueness, and some facts laid bare
that were "corkers' in themselves. Ac-
tions of certain councilmen that are
now up for election in the Fifth pre-
cinct were good ones and elected heavy
applause.
Governor West.
Governor West then took the floor,
and agreed with the remarks of the
mayor The hardy pioneers who came
into this valley many years ago
brought with them the American flag,
and planting that glorious emblem up
on Ensign peak, they looked forward
down through the long vista of years
when this should be a great state.
Those people now have a great duty
to perform, and they should go about
it carefully and with fOrethought at
every step. They should not be led by
clamor, by prejudice, by selfish appeal, !
but should calmly disown measures
that are for their own interests. The
Democratic party takes the opposite
view from the Republican. |. e., neo-
pie cannot be made prosperous and
happy by taxation. Only so much may
be taken from the peoples labor as
will administer economically the affairs
of government
The Republicans will cite you to the
fact that under their rule, Vanderbilts
and Carnegies sprung up, and With
fabulous wealth are monuments of
thrift and industry, all owing to Re-
publican method. This is in no way
true Such great individual wealth has
been wrung from the people, and the
latter now suffer a great wrong in
consequence. The bounty question was
handled by the governor in way that !
will tax opponents to get around. Re-
publicans who were promising bounty
measures were making such promises
as could not be redeemed, inasmuch as
any laws passed in controvention of the
constitution could not stand The leg
islature cannot give bounty If they |
would. Applause.l In the fundamen-
tai laws as adopted in the constitu-
ton you have good Democratic doc |
trine in all concerning bounty prop |
ositions. (Applause) The governor
then paid fitting tribute to the niggard- |
