PARK CITY, Oct. 31.-The opera
house here was crowded to the doors
this evening to listen to oratory on be-
half of Republican;sm and Mckinley
ism undefi,ed from the lips of D. J.
Chadwick, George Sutherland and Mrs
Eliza Nelson The Park City band
was in attendance. and William Arch
ibald, Republican candidate for sheriff,
acted as chairman. The meeting was
the greatest political failure ever re-
corded in Park City.
The first speaker was Henry Welsh.
Republican legislative candidate. He
said he was for Bryan and would vote
for no man who was not for silver first,
last and all the time.
George Sutherland was the next to
hold forth. He remarked that talk
ing silver to a Park City audience was
like carrying coal to Newcastle, and
then proceeded TO make a silver speech.
He said the silver plank in the Demo-
cratic platform was due to the Re-
publicans, and asserted that if it had
not been for the action of Dubois, Can
non, Allen and others the Democratic
party would not have taken the stand
it did on the silver question. The So
cent dollar and the international agree
ment phantomS were discussed on lines
as much Democratic as Republican.
The greater portion of Mr.. Sutherlands
speech was devoted to telling the audi
ence why he was going to vote for
Bryan electors and then switch and
vote the balance of the Republican
ticket. I'm Holbrook," said he, the
people will get man who stands for
three goods things, silver, protection
and reciprocity. In Holbrook the people
will get silver breakfast, a protec-
ton lunch and a reciprocity supper
With King the people will only get
silver breakfast" Then the band
played.
Mrs. Eliza Nelson was introduced as
the first political female speaker that
ever has been before a Park City audi
ence. She directed her remarks to the
ladies and advised them to vote for
pure and sDotless men for office, and
the band played again.
D. ]. Chadwick eulogized the achieve
ments of the Republican party, told
of railroads, etc, that had been built
under the benign influence of the grand
old party of protection, and without
mentioning the name Of Mckinley made
an argument favoring his policy. He
also endorsed the Republican candi-
dates, but the grandiloquent declara-
ton that he believed the next legisla-
ture would be Republican fell fiat
1t was without eXaggeration a very
tame affair. The band played again.
and the people cheered for silver and
Bryan. The people remained in their
seats after the meeting was over and
were finally dismissed by the chair
man.
SENSELESS ROORBACK.
The Republicans of this senatorial
district, driven to desperation by the
knowledge that Hon. R. c. Chambers
is sure of election by a big majority.
are now reported to be resorting to
personal abuse in an underhand way.
and are said to be getting up a pam
phlet in which it will be charged that
during the county seat agitation Mr..
Chambers betrayed the people of Park
City by trading votes for his own gain
for the advantage of Coalville in the
county seat contest
The statement is lie pure and sim
pie, and it is well known to the con-
Splrators now engaged on the scheme
TO misreDresent him that Mr.. Cham
bers took no active part in the county
seat agitation, and was true to the
pledges given by the Democratic county
committee to the Republican county
committee that as a party or as indi-
viduals they would not NEEDLE with
the question.
The roorback is expected to make its
appearance when it is too late to re-
flute its assertions. 1t will be a polit
1cal boomerang.
