POLITICS AT PROVO.
The Trurnbo Circus Disappoints It's
Auditors.

PROVO, Oct 29.-The Crane-Trudnbo
circus has come and gone and the peo-
pie are very much disappointed. Dis
appointed because they expected more
than they got.
The performance commenced by City
Chairman De Noisy calling the audi
ence to order which, by the way, was
unnecessary, and introduced as ring
master, Che called it chairman)
Charles Crane. of Kanosh. and Oh, my!
how Charley did murder the English
tongue. His speech was very tame in
deed, with not a sound of applause
from the moment when he arose to the
close Mr.. Crane said that he and his
crowd had travelled throughout the
county trying to hold forth the prin-
ciples of Republicanism. If Utah goes
into the Union as a Democratic state
it would be an endorsement of the
present administration. He said the
Wilson bill had nearly killed the sheep
industry of Utah; that wool was worth
16 cents per pound when the Democrats
went in and now see the price. Said
the Democrats promised the people in
1892 that wool would be worth % to %
cents under their administration. He
said no man in Utah was so tied to
any political creed. but what he could
see the light. Charley did not give
them the light) He said the Demo-
cratic party in thirty-two months had
run the government into debt $3.50, 000,-
600. He said they practiced chicanery,
and appealed to the prejudices of the
people.
The negro quartette sang and was
encored. after which John P. Meakin
was introduced and recited "The Dandy
Fifth
Then Mr.. Crane introduced Mrs.
Colonel Isaac Trumbo" who arose and
recited a very nice sounding piece
which had been prepared for her, and
which she had committed to memory
for the occasion.
The applause was still lacking and
the negros were introduced to enthuse
the audience They sang and were
encored and sang again. After which
chairman Crane introduced Buffalo Bill
Glasnann, of the ogden Standard.
Mr.. Glasmann delivered the same
speech that he delivered two years ago
in Fillmore and.t the same speech which
he delivered one year ago in Beaver,
with nothing left out, even the old
rotten bridge story, the barrel and
bunghole story and other stale yarns
TO amuSe the audience. He said the
Democrats admitted that there was
good times in 1892 q have never heard
a Democrat admit thaD, and said a
new era of prosperity was at hand
The Democrats said this at every cam
pafgn for three years, but the new era
had not yet set in. Mr.. Glasmann read
from The Herald of November u and
| 10, 1892, where it stated that dirt would
! fly on the railroad from Salt Lake to
the coast (the audience could not see
what that had to do with politics., but
all the dirt that few was from the feet
of Coxeys army marching to Washing
ton. OF course he said the Democrats
were to blame for CoXey's army organ
izing. All Republican stumpers say
| that, and if Glasmann had not said il
Crane was ready to crack the whip at
him.
Glasmann quoted from The Salt Lake
| Herald of three years ago where ii
said factories were starting UP, and OF
two years ago the same and one year
ago the same. Mr.. Glasmann did not
say that the factories had not started
and were not now running. The fact
! is, the factories have been opening uI
and running on full time since the
Democrats gained control of the gov.
eminent, until now they are all il
operation. Mr. Glasmann said this fol
only the ignorant, that the Democrat:
| struck down silver in 1893 when il
went down to GO cents an ounce This
was attributed to the repeal of The
Sherman law. He did not say thai
the Sherman lave was repealed long
after silver dropped to 62 cents, mol
did he say that the day the Indiar
minis closed to free coinage was the
do elk, ~, Trt4
| Mr. Glasmann tried very hard to con
vince the audience that Jefferson wa!
a protectionist, and that all the Jeffer
sonian Democracy left was the bung
hole of a barrel which had had a new
top, bottom. sides and hoops. He saiC
that jefferson was in favor of free sill
YER He did not say the Democrat
were not now in favor of it.
Mr. Glasmann devoted considerable
time in explaining why there was goot
times in 1846 to 1856, told about tn
wars in other nations and about ttei
buying so much of America to carr,
on those wars. The speaker referred
to the Barring failure of 1890 and sait
it affected the whole world and all ma
lions were on the verge of bankruptc.
except the United States, France anC
one other nation, these he said Wer
using silver When Mr.. Glasmann SAT-
to that audience that Thomas Jefferson
was a high protectionist it made then
blush for Shame for Mr.. Glasmann
Bill has no shame) He only told on
truth about that great man Thoma
Jefferson and that one truth was Jeffer
son was in favor of free silver.
Trumbo Crates
To gain more enthusiasm the negr
quartette was again introduced an,
sang, Listen to My Tale of Woe,
after which the audience commenced
to file out, and amid the uproar Colo
mel Isaac Sunshine Trumbo was in
troduced and he asked the people t
wait few minutes; he would not de
tain them long. A great many h
didn't detain at all. The colonel pal
high tribute to Democracy'S bi
four-Thatcher, Roberts, Rawlins an
Game; said that Hon. Moses Thatche
was one of the grandest men in Amer
lea, and that RaWlinS had done NOR
for Utah than any man ever done
that Game had done excellent work
but was always on the defensive. Nh
Trumbo talked about five minutes
making an excuse that Glasmann ha
taken UP too much time.
The quartette sang and the wit O
clown of the circus was introduced, bu
devoted his time to telling jokes an
making merriment. The big four Nc
2 in this sideshow were well received
but among Republicans who expecte
so much they would rather they Ia
not come.
