to make bad justice OF the peace
They all laughed and the speaker
thought they were trying to disturb
the meeting, and rebuked them by
saying that when he went to a Demo-
cratic meeting, If he didn't like the
tone of the speeches he kept still.
Mr.. Holman wanted to assure his
hearers of his patriotism, and to do so
reverted to the appearance the celored
troops made when they marched
through the streets the other day. He
put his foot in it with couple of
coIored fellows present, though, when
he said he felt a thrill of pride go
through him when he watched those
troops carrying the American flag, and
added that he didn't know as he
would have admired the colored troops
very much had it not been for the
flag.
The crowd had for some minutes
been firing of the gentleman's elo-
quence, and had tried several times
to let him know they had had enough
of his peculiar style of sparring by
gently calling time: but they now re-
newed it with vigor. The speaker
thought to put them to rout by tell
ing them that when he came to Utah
from Colorado he had been asked by
friend to keep an eye out for bur-
TO he had lost in Utah, and If he
found him to send him back. He
said he thought he would write and
say he found the animal The sally
fell fiat, and he was obliged, after
some further expostulation. to retire.
ONLY A HALIAN."
Then came w. L. Doxie, the true
handed, down troddsn, suffering work
ingman, and from him the '.laborer"
found out all about what was the mat
ter with the times.
He began by telling his hearers
who, by the way, were getting very
scarce by this time-that he was only
an alien, but was very proud of his
Americanism, and he didn't see why
being an alien should debar him from
expressing his opinions on American
forms of government and helping to
set straight bad condition of affairs
in such a way as to benefit the laborer,
one of whom he was which. The
whole trouble, he said. was due to the
Democratic administration Moth
ing but a return to Republican rule
would save the country, and he wanted
to see the whole Republican ticket
elected from top to bottom $50 as
that we would get protection to
"Hamerican Industries" and so as
that" etc, till the crowd, dwindled to
a bakers dozen, began to think he, too,
had spared enough for one work
ingman," and once more sounded
time"
DIDN'T HARMONIZE.
The chair announced that the Stand
ard quartette would render a selection
and the sweet songsters-which, by the
way, was the only genuinely good
thing of the evening-had the bad
taste to follow up Mr. Doxie's Nc
Kinley speech with the song entitled
We'll Turn the Goldbugs Down."
A WISE SON.
Chairman Doremus responded to
calls of his name with few remarks.
lican because he believed in protee-
ton. He said that to refresh his ad-
herence to the protective idea, he had
a few days ago purchased a knife,
which he took from his pocket, where
he had it neatly concealed. He said
that when he went in to buy the knife
the clerk had asked him if he wanted
an American Or imported article. He
had replied an American, of course.
The clerk had Informed him that it
was worth $3.50, but that he could
give him an imported knife, fully as
good, for $1.50. Il looked the two
knives over said he, land found
that to all appearances the imported
article was just as good, if not a lit
tie better, than the American one.
Without going into the details of why
l purchased the imported article, / did
purchase it, and here it is. Well, took
that knife tonf. and wishing to i'm
press upon my son the great principle
of protection, Il asked him if he could
tell me why the American knife which
I had seen, sold for dollar more than
the imported one fully as good. Now
he's somewhat of a Democrat, and he
at once replied that the Ameri-
can knife was made by the knife trust
and that the extra dollar went to the
trust.
The tired listeners thought that was
a pretty good Democratic argument
and got up and left, leaving Mr.. Do
remus to finish his contention to va
cant seats, to the effect that Ameri-
cans ought, out of patriotism. to buy
the American knife, because the extra
dollar went tonthe American laborer.
