Great Rejoicing at Logan.

LOGAN, July 12-Last night the
streets were thronged with people,
called out by the announcement that
the ratification of the silver nominees
would be held. Hundreds of seats had
been placed in the open space west of
the opera house and a temporary plat
form built; two large electric arcs
were placed in convenient positions,
and the fun began. The booming of
cannon Numbered through the air. nu-
afar, and the Wellsville band dis
coursed patriotic music to the shouts
and cheers of the populace.
James p. Low, of Smithfield, was
elected chairman, and Rev. n. e. Glenn
enson was called for. The reverend
gentleman responded with a speech
ringing with patriotism and bristling
with convincing silver arguments. He
said the only objection that eastern
goldbugs had to Bryan, besides the fact
that he stood for silver, and one that
they are beginning to urge with We
hemence, is tha+ he is a young man,
too young, say they, to entrust with
the responsible position of head of this
great nation. But they forget, said the
speaker, that Alexander had conquered
kingdoms while he was yet a young
man; that Caesar had sway over the
known world before he was 80 years
Old: that Napoleon had won his Mar
engo and his Austerlitz before he was
as old as William j. Bryan. 1t is the
young men who do the work, the young
men who are always in demand, the
young men who are the coming men,
With all respect for age.
Mr.. ClemensOn threw aside his Re-
puDAcaniSm and his eccleSiaSticism for
the occasion, and made a powerful ad-
dress in favor Of the peoples money as
a citizen of the United States. He was
frequently interrupted with applause,
and when he mentioned Bryan's name
the crowd yelled itself hoarse
Professor Paul responded to vocifer-
Gus calls for speech. His remarks
were concise and to the point, stated
IN the Well-known straightforward and
convincing manner of the speaker. His
argument clearly showed how the de-
monetization of silver increased the
value of the gold dollar to TWO dollars,
and cheapened the price of farmers
products and workingmen's labor just
half
Every point made by the great econo-
mist was cheered. Music was inter-
spersed between the speeches and the
crowd retired to their homes more de-
termined than ever to work in the
cause of silver, the great cause of the
people.
Speeches were made by F. K. Nebe-
ker, G. w Thatcher, j. P Low. Calls
were made for Isaac Smith and Noble
Warrum, but these gentlemen did not
respond.
Last evening company c, Utah Ma
uonal Guard, held an election for cap
tain, made necessary by the resigna-
ton Of Captain Andrew Eliason, 1r..
who has been attending college in Cali
fornla, and was therefore unable to
attend to the duties of the position.
The election resulted in the choice for
captain of First Lieutenant Neuberger
who has efficiently conducted the com
pany during the absence of CAPTAIN
Ellason. His election was unanimous.
Second Lieutenant Joseph Nelson was
chosen for the first lieutenancy. and
Sergeant Joseph Benson was promoted
to second lieutenant After the cleo
ton the newly installed officers showed
the company a good time, at which
the captain and some members of COM
pany D were present
refreshments of various kinds were
served, and with songs by Corporals
Han and Bait, and friendly converse
ton and congratulations, the evening
passed off very pleasantly.
