| the people of Utah. In supporting the
| st. Louis platform we do not surrender
our views in the cause of silver. We
have not lost our devotion TO the white
metal. We differ sincerely as to the
method of restoration of silver. We
believe that through the chan
nels of the great Republican
| party, sooner or later, silver
viii be recognized, whether that recog-
milton be international binetallism, ma
tlonal bimetallism or coinage of the
silver produced in the United States,
that recognition must come. Bimetal-
ism without protection is a house built
upon the sand. Bimetallism with pro-
lection is a house built upon rock.

Of the world, and it matters not whe-
Their we have a single or a double
standard, ruin will be our lot. Our in
dustries will languish and die.
THE net result of four years of Dem
ocratic rule will be an increase in the
| national debt in round numbers, of
$500, 600 900. The loss to labor and to
business was more than four times that
amount There was no truth about the
gold reserve in the national treasury
until the Democrats carried the day in
1892. That election was the head

Business became a wreck Man
became suspicious and fearful of

1892
The differences now existing within
our ranks are sadly to be deplored We
are hopelessly divided on the national
ticket The Republican supporters of
Bryan say they will vote only the
Democratic national ticket. It behooves
US, as followers of Mckinley, to sup
port Loyalty the Republican ticket from
top to bottom. Though we differ ma
tionally with many of our friends, To-
cally we viii work together, shoulder
to shoulder for the success of the Re
publican party. May all dissensions

Place her where she belongs-in the
Republican column. Put her in touch

the next four years.
LITERALLY APPLAUDED.
Liberal applause was bestowed upon
Mr. E1chnor at different intervals, par
ticularly at the mention Of the name of
Mckinley, when the nearest approach
to enthusiasm was manifested There
was enthusiasm enough in the dele
gates, but the number participating in
the applause was not great enough to
make it a marked demonstration.
AT the conclusion Of his address Mr..
EichnOr, as chairman, informed the con-
vention that it was necessary to raise
$50 to liQuidate expense that had been
INCURRED County Chairman Parsons
announced he was authorized to sub
scribe $40 for Senator Arthur Brown,
and the amount was speedily raised
by precinct subscriptions.
COMMITTEES PROVIDED.
On motions carried, committees on
credentials and permanent organiza-
ton were provided for to be composed
of seven and nine members respectively.
SeptimCs w. Sears raised the first
contention by moving a committee of
nine on resolutions He accepted an
amendment to reduce the number to
five, after which Wiley Brown took the
floor to oppose the motion He thought
there was no occasion for the county
convention to resoIute, as the Mt. Pleas
ant convention, he thought, could safely
be trusted to adopt a platform. He
hoped the motion To appoint the COM

JAKE MAKES A TALK.
Jake Greenewald agreed with Mr..
Brown that there was no necessity of
resolutions committee, but did not
want to see the motion voted down.
He anticipated that the gentleman max
ing the motion would withdraw it.
Mr. Sears arose and was about to
withdraw the motion when Hon Chas
Crane upset the plans of the Mckinley
managers. He was cooked and primed
TO make a speech and selected this time
as his opportunity. He arose just
enough in advance of Mr.. Sears to get
the floor and proceeded to address the
convention. He said he thought it was
a peculiar proceeS ing that a Republican
convention should be afraid to assert
itself. He held that there were many
men in Utah who would like to support
y
and butter was at issue. He said the
history Of Republicanism in Utah from
the time, which he said he could re-
member, when the party's convention
was not more than half as large as the
present one, and traced it's steadily
growing successes down to the pres
ent time, and yet you propose to sit
by" said he, land not declare
that the Republicans Of Salt Lake coun-
ty are going to support the national
candidate, and thereby give encourage
ment to the faitering, those who are
too timid to take their stand with u.s.
l want it distinctly understood that
do not propose to cooperate, copulate
or connUbate with any pretended Re
publican who proposes to support Viii
liam j. Bryan and l want to see a reso-
lutionS committee appointed and a plat
form adopted that will leave no doubt
as to our position
Applause which sounded suspiciously
as though it were given for the Demo-
cratic candidate followed the mention
of Bryans name and throughout Mr..
Cranes speech which was delivered
with a great deal of eloquence, he was
warmly applauded, but some of the ID
dies blushed at his peroration.
AFRAID OF ELOQUENCE.
t. D. Lewis was opposed to the reso-
lutions committee. He said that a cele-
brated convention held recently in Chi
cago had been carried off its feet by "a
burst of eloquence. He
hoped that occurrence would not be re-
peated here. A platform should not be
adopted, as if it was, the other counties
might follow suit and the Republicans
going to Mt. Pleasant would, if that
