City opera house last evening. The
hall was packed. George r. Hancock
acted as chairman and Colonel H. L.
Pickett, j. w. Hamm of Evanston,
Wyo., and Hon. r. c. Chambers spoke.
The enthusiasm was unbounded.
Colonel Pickett said in substance
had been denounced for being western
men when they were presidential can
didates, yet each was twice elected.
Bryan was also censured for being a
product of the west and he, like the
other illustrious westerners. would be
elected, and we want this new state of
ours to be in touch with the admins
tration by electing King to congress
and a legislature which will send a
Democrat and a free silver man above
everything else to the United States
senate.
He referred to Mr.. Chambers as the
father of Park City. He needed no
eulogy; everybody knows that he was
intelligent, capable, honest and above
all the friend of the miner.
Mr.. Pickett spoke very highly Of
Judge Norreil and said that he would
state.
Mark Hanna and the gang said
Bryan was crazy, but the speaker
thought it would be a good thing to
find out what caused the craziness and

quent and loud applause. He eulogized
Hon. w. H. King and urged the people
to give him their votes. Bryan'S cleo
ton was certain and it was necessary
to have a house and senate in SYM
pathy with him if his election was to
be productive of any good.
He spoke of the mistake Wyoming
lad made two years ago in electing
Clark to congress, who turned out d
toned Utah people not to make a
similar mistake but to send King to
congress and elect a Democratic legis-
lature He was proud to belong to the
common people and proud to be an
anarchist of the type of William j.
Bryan and prophesied that the Nc
Kinley forces would go down like chaff

waiting for the consent of foreign ma

on and was received with cheers. He
said in part: You very well know L

talk a little and believe that this is
a time when every candidate should
express his sentiments. There is no
use in talking silver to this audience,

next it will be found that a very
large majority of the people in
this country are anarchists The

No political party in the history of
the country ever made a campaign Ike
Bryan is making. The funds for the
Democratic campaign is contributed by
the common people, prompted by pa
triotism. You miners contribute your
