(Snecial Correspondence OF Inc Heralu-'
EUREKA. oct. S1-This was a great
dav for the Democracy in Tintic- Judge
King arrived here from Salt Lake at
II O'Clock, and at p m. proceeded TO
Mammoth. where he addressed the MIN
ers. Three rousing meetings were
held in the district, and the enthusiasm
was great, it wasn't of the pottleo
kind. either, but came spontaneously.
At Mammoth the hall was crowded to
excess and Judge King was feceiNeo
with cheers loud and long
]. H. Peyton presided ana ia IKE
Democratic candidate for county attof-
ney, was the first speaker. He spoke OF
state and local matters and urged the
necessity of voting the straight Demo
cratic ticket He ridiculed dolprook
and showed the Inconsistency or MS at
titude and concluded his address by an
explanation of the Australian ballot
HON. w. H. KING.
Judge King then took the floor and
received an ovation. He said in part:
am pleased to have this opportunity
Of meeting the miners OF Mammoth.
This is a most important campaign.
We in Utah do not seem to take the
vital interest in ii that we should. III
the east houses are divided and fathers
against sons. They go forth without
bitterness and with the sole desire to
teach the truths that underlle TINS
campaign. l have recently oeen sWlth
Mr.. Bryan and want to tell you tnat
he is the most wonderful man IN this
country. Senator Stewart said that he
had been in public life for 40 years,
but he told me he had never seen in
all his life as patriotic and great
man as Bryan. Stewart said to me
that he was now necessarily Demo-
cTat.
NV friends, said the speaker, it seems
to me an honor to fight under the ban
ner of William J. Bryan. He then re-
lated instances connected with his Hi
nois trip, and told of meeting hundreds
of men hitherto Republicans who were
now supporting the Democratic nomi-
nee. He told the story Of an old abo-
litioniSt who ran three times against
William Springer for congress, but who
declared with tears in his eyes to Mr..
Bryan that he was now for the Demo-
cratic ticket.
1 want to talk to the Republicans
present about what their party is do
ing in the east. How can you, my
friends, after realizing the base work
of your party in the east, still swear
allegiance to the G. o. p? In the east
they call you all possible vile names.
Go anywhere in that country and you
cannot find a Republican who will up
lift his voice in favor of silver. Read
what Mr.. Ingerson says. Read what
he calls being in favor of the remone-
tization of silver.
The Judge quoted the threats of
Bourke Cochran published in the pa
pers of yesterday. He continued, [
have heard Republican orators say
they would never submit to the bime-
tallic standard. That is the position of
call yourself a silver Republican in the
east you would not be allowed in a
Republican meeting, and would be
jeered at and reviled.
After that he quoted the monarchical
remarks OF Palmer, who said he would
rather live under a monarchy than in
a republic faVoring free silver He
scored mercilessly Palmer and Buckner.
Next he read the Anarchistic remarks
of Chairman Lauterbach, and what
the goldbugs threatened to do in case
Bryan was elected. He read the re-
marks of several other goldbugs. all
of which We're of a revolutionary char
acter.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR
PARITY"
It ask you tonight, my Republican
friends said Mr.. King, what do YOU
think of your party in the east? What
do you think of its leaders? Are YOU
still willing to call yourselves Repub-
lincans? 1t seems to me that all
who love justice and are in favor of
free coinage ought to stand shoulder
to shoulder in this great fight Party
lines should be obliterated. I would
just as soon be called a Republican as
Democrat. There is nothing in a
name. 1t is the principles which 1
stand for l said a, year ago that if
TOQT0nO7-affp RI foII
hands of capitalists and declared
against silver 1 would abandon the
party and support whatever party fav-
ored free coinage. do not believe that
parties should be despotic. My friends.
let me tell you What l discovered in
Illinois is only one instance The same
thing is happening in all the eastern
states. The Democratic party has lost
there $4,000 or 10000 votes The lines
are closely drawn. They Do not talk
tariff there. 1t is gold or silver. Those
who bolted in Illinois will support Nc
kinley. On the other hand more than
4V'oOO republicans have left the old
party and viii support Bryan"
Judge King spoke sarcasticalIy of
the bad being driven out of the Demo
cratlc party and asked his Republican
AUDITORS II they did not think il their
DUTY TO leave the herd and Join the
Democratic party. Governor Flower
says II is only ulShOneSt men who ara

says it is dishonest to advocate free
coinage, and that the Republican nartv
was honest in that it declared for fhe
gold standard. They threw off ali dis
gulse back there. He pitched into Nc

speaking OF Bryan, he said: who was
