OGDEN, June 24.-The expected demon
stration was given to Senator Cannon to-
night. The depot was decorated with
flags and bunting and great crowd
thronged the platform and depot grounds.
The band and drum corps were both ON
the ground, and as the train pulled in
the band struck up "See, the Conquering
Hero Comes
Mr.. Cannon was escorted to an impro-
vised stand on which the members of the
Choral union had mustered, and here they
sang a song composed for the occa sion.
1t was to the tune of Marching Through
Georgia." and was entitled 1.-THE Battle
Cry of Silver The horses were I'M
hitched from the carriage and he was
hauled up Twenty-fifth street to Lester
park by number of volunteers. In pass
ing the City Hall square, salute of sew
enteen guns-16 to Twas fired. In the
carriage with Mr.. Cannon was Mrs. Jen-
ME E. Nelson, president of the Woman's
Suffrage association of Weber county; A
B. Patton. of the committee on arrange
ments, and Dr. M. N. Graves.
At the pavilion the crush was tremen-
dous, and not one person out of ten could
get inside. William Glasmann was named
as chairman, and spoke briefly. He said
Cannon, who faced 1,400 angry people and
read an address of defiance despite of
Misses and jeers, was one of natures no
bleGnen He thanked Cannon for his
manly stand, and closing with land may
God keep you steadfast in the cause of
silver"
Mrs. Jennie E. Nelson spoke in eulogy
of Mr. Canno,
A. j. Weber was introduced by the
chairman as the representative of the
Silver club. Mr.. Weber declared that or
ganiZed selfishness and greed controlled
the st. Louis convention, wrote it's plat
form and dictated it's candidate. Now
all eyes were turned toward Chicago, hop
ing that the Democrats would nominate
some such patriot as Morgan, Boise,
Bland or Teller.
Considerable applause greeted this SEN
timent, but it was as nothing to the
demonstration succeeding his next point
After calling attention to the courage and
heroism displayed by Senator Cannon in
facing the angry crowd and leaving his
! seat, he said that the people, lost in adj
miration of this act, had almost over
looked the deplorable spectacle of an Og-
den man greedily clutching the chair va
Gated by its predecessor. This arraign-
ment of L. R. Rogers brought out great
applause.
Mrs. DR.. Coulter spoke eulogistically of
,, the boilers.
The crowd called for Cannon so persis-
tently at the conclusion of her speech
that part of the programme had to be
omitted. The cheering lasted a minute
when Senator Cannon arose. He said it
was not one man that faced the angry
kissing crowd in st. Louis, but nearly
the whole people of Utah. He had felt
that they were with him, and had no hes
itancy in doing what he did. They had
not abandoned the truth in the St Louis
convention, but had brought it out that it
might not be desecrated. Protection" he
said, IS that which helps the toiler most,
and just now that thing is better finan-
cial system. The Dingley bill would give
wool 11s cents protection. but the present
| financial system gives the Chinese 100
per cent. bounty over this nation
In abiding to the way the battle is to
be won, he said he had recently attended
conference of Democrats, Republicans
and Populists, and they agreed that the
Henry M. Teller.
InlS sentiment was dppiduueu, Dut not
with the fervor characteristic of the
others.
| The meeting closed with the introduce
ton of a resolution by A. B. Patton en-
dorsing the action of Cannon, Allen,
Kearns and the other boilers. 1t passed
with a whoop.
Three cheers were given for Senator
| Cannon. Numerous boquets were thrown
to him as he stood on the platform. He
complains of being worn out and of hay
ing had no rest for a week.
The crowd drew his carriage home.
