ton Thursday Evening.
If any one has expected that the
silver Republicans of Ogden would fall
back into line with the Mckinley Re
publicans by election time their ex-
pectations are in q fair way to be
shattered Events have transpired
within the past few days which estab-
lish conclusively that the breach be-
tween the two factions Is complete.
A quiet meeting was held last Thurs
day at which a number Of prominent
silver Republicans arranged for aScer-
tanning the real sentiment of the Re
publican voters on this question. With
this end in view copies of a call for a
mass meeting were printed and quietly
circulated The call runs as follows:
1--WE the undersigned Republicans
who repudiata the financial plank of
our party which was adopted at the
ST. Louis convention, yet subscribing
our sincere adherence to the Repubh-
can idea of protection as taught by the
fathers, and reciprocity Is promulgated
by the greatest of modern statesmen
James G. Blaine, recognize from recent
political occurrences in our midst the
utter inability of the Mckinley Re
publicans to meet the present great
emergency that has arisen. To the end
that the people of Utah may be made
to feel thai the Republicans Of this
state are true to their past platforms
and party declarations, we hereby sub
scribe our names, and pledge our
hearty cooperation and lend our pres
ence and support to a call for grand
mass meeting Of silver Republicans TO
be held at the Grand Opera house,
ogden. where the true doctrine of the
Republican party Of Utah may be set
forth by speakers who are in accord
with the demands of the times"
