OF the Utah Democracy, GO name ma

sprung from our own people and who
represents in the truest sense the PEG
pie of our state He is a man strong,
honest and fearless. who has been al
ways an ardent allocate of the free
coinage of silver and who was one of
the pioneers in the Democratic party
in Utah. He is a man who is the very
embodiment of those principles and as
such we ask that he be made one OF
the nominees Of this convention upon
the electoral ticket.
There is somewhere in the scrip
lures these words: The south shall
come forth and the north shall hold cut

vention, that the north hold not back
st this time, but that it come forth
and help US to nominate the Hon. Rob

A storm Of applause was the response
MIR. Shows words provoked. When it
had subsidized Hon David Evans was
recognized 10 place in nomination Hon
Richard Macintosh. Mr.. Evans said:
i shall speak no words of disparage-
nenf of my candidate nominated. 1t is
very trae as has been stated here that
this is not a time for party preJudlces-
We are engaged in fighting battle OF
principles to which the individuality OF
persons must be subordizated. l am
going to present the name Of q. man

The name Of Mr.. Macintosh was re-
ceived with a marked demonstration
Of approval, after which M. Evans con-
cluded by saying: 1T may not be gen.
orally understood that although he has
been a Republican, : has been sensl-
Bile one. if such a thing can be. CLGush-
teri He sat in the constitutional con-
venaion and every vote he cast was
Democratic "a voice That's good. >
And he was the first Republican in
Utah to come out for the Chicago plat
form. l beg of you to lay aside party
prejudice for this man. When we see
Grover Cleveland and mis- followers
nominating ticket ostenslbfy TO stay
within the party, but in reality to elect
Mckinley, [ say TO you we are justified
in nominating a man who though new
20 us, win contribute most to defeat
ing their purpose"
A STATE SECRET.
At this juncture Judge Powers an
nounced that a state secret had just
been revealed to him over The Herald
telephone, and that though the silver
Republican convention had not yet
adopted its platform. the document was
prenared and declared in favor of en-
dorsing the electoral ticket, however
constituted. The news was received
amid vocife1ous applause and cheers.
BLAIR NAMES DAILY.
George E. Blair secured the floor to
place J. J. Daily in nomination. He de-
clirsad to go to the platform and said:
I'm going TO keep on the level with
you. gentlemen and ladies of the con-
Venrion and / shall place in nomina-
1ion a man who is on the square. In
fight a common enemy if We would re-
lease the white slaves of this nation.
To do it successfully we musN nominate
q ticket which will unquesionably hold
together all the silver forces.
Egypt is under a dark cloud and
her people are enslaved because Of the
bonds she sold in England. l warn
you, gentlemen and ladies, that we
are fast approaching the same gloomy
outlook. / call your attention TO the
STANDARD Oh Trust. which enables John
D. Rockefeller 70 spend his millions in
luxury while the poor people OF the
nation are taxed enormously If they
would light their homes. I call your
attention TO the railroad companies CO.
ercing their employees into supporting
Mckinley. I call your attention 10 the
Cordage trust and all the other great
trusts which prey upon the people and
say to YOU that they are Insignificant as
compared to the gold trust which is
now endeaVoring to thwart the will OF
the people It is Mark Hanna who
paws the expenses of the delegations
who go 10 Canton 10 cali upon Mr.. Nc
Kiniey, while we have not money
enough to buy literature to send to the
men who want it that they may inform
themselves upon questions of vital i'm
oortance to their well-being.
I want to say to you fellow dele
gates. that we must unite the silver
forces, for here, as in Wyoming, sue
cess depends upon such unity. and
can assure you We will not lose by it.
The man / am going ~ name is known
ell over the state wher ever a man goes
into a n-ne with pick and shovel He
has used them himself. lie is gener-
Gus, brave and tl-ue. and is endeared
TO the hearts of al the people He is
NOT a politician, but stands with us
today as he always stands, upon his
own convictions. and he is doing a
great work for Bryan and Sewail If
h IS nominated the silver Republicans
will endorse him. Gentlemen and Ia
dies, [ nominate ]. ]. Daily
That Mr.. DAILY had many friends in
the convention was attested by the
hear1iness with which the mention of
his name was applauded.
SLOAN MAKES A SPEECH.
Robert W. Sloan was the next dele
gate to secure the foOT. He had no
candidate ID place in nomination, but
was opposed TO the drift affairs were
taking. 1T was supposed, however, that
he was going to make a nomination,
and ne was accordingly permitted to
proceed. He took the ground thar there
had been no change in Democratic prin-
cip,es TO justify men in turning TO il
now who had previously held other
faith. He said that if he knew any
this,s. about Republican principles, that
marty has} always stood for the classes.
while the Democratic party had always
as now. been the party Of the masses.
You are mistaken If you think we
1,,;ll not have This question to fight over
