greSSman Clarence Z. Allen received d
reception upon their return yesterday
from the St. Louis convention, by their
political admirers.
They arrived at 1915. over the Rio
Grande Western, accompanied by A
c. Cleveland, one Of the boiling dele
gates from Nevada. The party was
met at the depot by a. committee of
those Republicans who endorsed the
course of the silver boilers and who
had arranged a reception calculated to
give expression to their way of viewing
the action of all of those delegates who
walked out of the convention when the
gold platform was adopted, and OF
these two in particular.
Denhalter's band. which had been en-
gagged for the occasion, gathered in
front Of the Knutsford hotel shortly be-
fore noon and played patriotic airs,
while the citizens. who were to take
part in the reception, assembled and
were loaded into carriages. Headed by
the band. the line marched to the RIO
Gransle Western deDoE, where several
hundred citizens assembled by the time
the train arrived, some bearing MOVERS
and all imbued with an abundance OF
enthusiasm
+he hand PLAYED See the Conqueg1ng
Hero Comes" and when the gentlemen
stepped out on the platform they were
greeted by a series of lusty cheers from
the crowd, which went wild for few
minutes. Everybody tried TO get holo
of the hands of the statesmen at once
and nearly pulled them to pieces be
fore they could be forced through tne
crowd to the awaiting carriages. The
demand for speeches was unheeded as
the committee had arranged to have
that part OF the programme take place
at the Knutsford SO the procession
started without delay.
Headed by the band, the procession
paraded the principal streets on the
way to the hotel. many a, hearty cheer
greeting the champions Of silver on the
way. In one of the carriages rode the
three political pedestrians and Mayor
Clendinning and in the other carriages
were a number Of the principal Repub-
licans who have given their endorse

Typographical union turned out a con-
siderable number of men to swell the

SENATOR CANNONS REMARKS
Men OF Utah: 1 did not ask YOU
what / should do at that convention il
the party should go back upon its
promises and declare for gold, for
knew what you wanted me to do.
knew that the people of Utah wanted
every man to be true to himself. This
above all things, to thine own self be
true. then it must follow as the night
the day. thou canst not then be false II
any man Last year Governor Wells
Representative Allen and myself in
sisted in more than one hundred meet
ings held throughout Utah that tbs
greatest doctrine of the Republican
party was the uplifting of the toilerS
of the country and the protection o.
their interests and that it rested upoT
the same basic truth as the monetary
question. Holding to that truth, we
believed that the Republican party wa,
tending irresisGibiy towards the restor
alton of the money Of the people; anc
we made an implied contract that !,
the Republican party should ever turf
fits face against the rights of the peopl,
we should turn our faces against ths
Republican convention that did it.
i have no criticism to pass upon an,
other man. But / am no6 the kind O,
Republican who can straddie from
Wall street to the silver mines Of Utah
At the national convention, Senate,

made so that it would conscientiously
suit me, he himself would be obaEgeS
