fill the appointments made in the south
for Hon. o. w. Powers by the Demo-
cratic state central committee.
Throughout Beaver county great dis
appointment is expressed because of
the change in Powers plans but all
Bryan Republicans and Democrats
alil1e-applaud both King and Powers
for their loyalty to the silver cause.
At 9 o'clock the speakers journey TO
Ninersville was begun, and two hours
later, behind Jack and Brownie,
over which r. R. Tanner, a hustling
Democrat, held the lines, they arrived
in this oasis in the sagebrush desert
which for miles greets the eye. jack
is famous in this region. For years
he has been used in campaigns and in
vehicles hauled by him he has carried
Joe Rawlins, B. H. Roberts, John 1.
Caine, ]. r. Letcher and others proinl-
nent in politics and is also known to
fame as the friend of the newspaper
man. Billy Igleheart CT the Tribune
knows Jack well and in a letter to his
paper fnsulted the equine by referring
TO him as possessing bronco" blood
Jack showed his disgust with Igleheart
today when Tanner alluded to the
newspaper mans remarkable letter II
the San Francisco Chronicle in which
he declared that Utah was safe for
Mckinley. Jack, when he heard Igle-
hearts name mentioned, cooked up his
ears and groaned. When he heard what
Igleheart had done he kicked and by
words which only an equine can make
expressed his disapproval.
WEBER AND KING AT WORK.
Minersville is Il miles from Milford
and is a silver town. 1t has a popu-
lation of about 900 and its registered
vote is 176. OF that number the Nc
Kinley electors will receive not to ex-
coed ten. 1t was here that Weber and
King fired their opening guns in the
campaign to be waged by them in the
south The meeting was held in The
school house and good audience was
in attendance although the hour was
/ O'clock p. m. when the chairman
called for order.
Weber is rightfully entitled to the
title OF the cyclone orator" He car
ried his audience with him from the
beginning of his speech to the close.
In his speech he explained Judge
Powers absence and eulogiZed him as
that loyal son Of Democracy" to the
delight of his hearers. Mr.. Weber as
sIrned that as ne was in a stalwart
silver community he did not deem it
necessary to discuss the financial is
sues now agitating the people else
where, who were not as we'll informed,
but would devote his time to a discus
sion OF the state and legislative candl-
dates. Holbrook was compared with
King in such a convincing way thai
the Republicans present enjoyed the
dissection Of the straddle candidate as
we'll as the Democrats did. Weber
urged his hearers to be true to silver
by voting for King; TO vote for the
Democratic legislative candidate in
order 20 insure
TIE ELECTION OF a SILVER sen.
ATOR
to succeed Brown, and in conclusion
advised them, in order that no mistake
could possibly be made, to follow
Powers advice, which is, mark an X
opposite the rooster and let IL go at
chat" In discussing Brown, Weber 5
county attorney said: Brown claims
TO be for free silver and for Mckinley;
he might as well say that he IS an hon
est scoundrel or q viituous lihertine
The man who votes for Mckinley and
advocates free silver talks one way and
votes another. Either his professions
are mere pretense-bait within which to
catch gudgeons-or he is voting against
his. own convictions.
Hon. S. 4. King followed in historical
narrative, in which Senator Frank j.
Cannon and Congressman c. f. Allen
were the principal themes. Said King:
Cannon and Allen for years past have
declared in public addresses that the
Democratic party was a party of
empty promises; that silver would not
be championed by 1t and that the Re
publican party could be depended upon
TO carry out the silver policy advocated
by the people of Utah. They canvassed
the state on that platform and in their
zeal for silver the people gave a ma
jority for the Republican ticket. Now
said King. as he reached the point he
wished to make, Cannon and Allen
are supporting
BRYAN AND FREE SILVER;
are denouncing the Republican party's
peridy and, TO all intents and pur-
poses, are as loyal TO the interests OF
the people as is the Democratic parSy
When they stumped the state for Re
publicdnism many of the people be-
lieved in their sincerity and voted as
they talked. To be consistent the PEG
pie who followed their leadership last
year should follow ii this year ard not
only vote for Bryan and Sewall, but
the entire ticket. not forgetting King
and the Democratic legislative candi-
dates.
WEAKENED CANDIDATES.
Before leaving Milford this morning
