The Scandinavian Democrats had a
big turnout at the rally last night. The
county headquarters was filed to over
flowing, ana sound Democratic doc
tsines were discussed by four ora
tors. while music was furnished by
Professor and Mrs. Johnson.
i. S. Fernstrom opened the speech
making with q sound talk on the is
sues Of the day, urging his country
men to stand by the party which had
sacrificed much and arrayed itself
against plutocracy. The Bryan Re-
pubgicans had no excuse for an ex-
istence. IL they are against the gold
sHandard why meet the Democratic
fRrty half way2 The only explana-
on was that the so-called Independ-
eat Republicans had selfish motives
and personal interests to foster. He
read an article from the correspond

Republican committee and $50 was the
price paid for its publication. In it
the committee advocated the defeat

Joseph LiDpnan for the reason they
were outSpoken free silver men and
might, il elected, vote for o. w. Pow
5ers for United States senator. The
reading of the article created a sensa-
ton among the audience, and the
speaker was applauded to the echo.
J. W. Burton was the next speaker.
He stirred up a great deal of enthu-
siasm by reading a telegram they had
sent to Senator Jones, saying: Bryan
VIII carry Titan by 10000 majority.
King, the Democratic candidate for
congress, viii be elected, and we will
elect a Legislature that will send a
g,
succeed Brown" Not desiring to make
ar extended talk. the speaker sim
ply predicted the election of Bryan and
gave way to Judge Henderson.
Judge Henderson made a clear and
logical speech on the political ques-
lions. He made it very plain that the
only question before the nation today
was whether to have a gold or a
4 double standard. Then he took up the
discussion of this subject and pointed
to the fact that all the moneyed in
6erests were arrayed against the new
Democracy. 1t was a contest between
man and money
While it would seem almost super
fluous to talk free silver to a Utah au-
fiience. there were many who con-
1inued 20 whisper doubts into the ears
Of the people, and therefore he would

the gold there is in the world, and it

Emitted States viii have to earn seven

III The speaker had no commentator
N to offer 20 those who called themselves
BRYAN Republicans. Suppose you
