for this corporation attorney. whose
heart beat in harmony with trusts and
corporations, and the question was an
sWered from all sides with cries of mo.
no." If he became attorney, he would
be found in his back Office, devising
schemes for obtaining franchises for
corporations.
He then gave attention to John T.
Game, whose -partisanism, he said,
was so intense that he had knocked at
the Democratic door every year for adj
mission to office. The reason he was
not knocking this year was probably
due to the fact that he saw no office in
sight.
when the constitutional convention
concluded its labors." said Mr.. Evans.
Il thought that the difficult question in
Utah was forever solved. But l be-
lleve that there are people in Utah to-
day who would change all this. They
are the people who would disrupt the
party Of silver in favor of the party of
gold recommendation. I believe a con-
spiracy exists somewhere for the pur-
pose Of putting man in the United
States senate who will be in harmony
with the present administration. Shall
you submit to this?" There were cries
Of Never" and Mr.. Evans continued:
Then adhere to the party of political
honesty and free silver, and vote the
whole ticket" (Applause.)
Mr.. Evans paid a tribute to the late
Henry George. He said he was per-
haps the best loved man in public life.
when men, he said, are laying down
their lives for silver in the heart of the
east, shall we shrink like towards
from the contest? OF course. Mr..
Doremus will not be elected, and ev-
erybody knows it. applause and
laughter.) The fight is between Mr..
Clark and W. H. Dale. Republicans
should note this, and should not throw
away their votes by casting them for
the Republican nominee.
Some pointed anecdotes were related
by Mr.. Evans, showing the greatness
Of the effrontery of the Republicans in
putting up d ticket al all, after the
evils of their present administration.
They perhaps would not have had the
audacity to put up a ticket had it not
been that the new movement gave
them the opportunity.
The non partisans," he concluded.
say that their movement was
launched in the interest of good govern
ment and the reduction of taxes. To
both of these things the Democratic
party is pledged. The Democratic par
ty should not be given I'D for a party
untried, a party of nepotism, which has
behind it the influence of the dominant
church" (Applause.)
Mrs. Clara Ferguson, at the conclu-
sion of Mr. Evans speech, recited in
an engaging way some verses entitled,
Put your x up by the rooster and let
it go at that" This was supplemented
by some more campaign songs by the
glee club.
FISHER HARRIS.
Hon Fisher Harris then made an ad-
dress. He said, in beginning, that he
had the cheerful news to bear that the
canvass made by the Democrats had
been completed, and the result indi-
Gated a material majority for w. H.
Dale for mayor. The canvass also dis
closed that mis- only real rival was the
man nominated on the un-American,
retroactive, unpolitical proposition, the
non-partisan ticket"
Mr.. Harris said he loved his home in
the mountains as well as any one high
in banking circles. and would cOnse-
quently consider himself recreant to his
trust if he did not fight against the
election Of John Clark and the long
line of incompetents who follow him
on the nOn-Dartisan ticket"
He opposed it first, said Mr.. Harris,
because it was a proposition which
had never been a, success in any city.
In this connection, he referred to the
public criticism of himself by Judge
Goodwin, who had criticized him for
having been born in Virginia. In all
the Nervousness and horror Of that
crime, he said, Il stand before you
self-confessed.'
OF all the pathetic things he had ever
seen the most consummate was the spec
tacle Of Judge Goodwin sitting at the
non-partisan convention between John
T. Game, whom he hated, and Farley
L. Williams, whom he despised. Once
the editor of the Tribune had in his
office a picture of Lincoln. No doubt ii
had been transformed into a composite
likeness of John Clark. a Democrat,
John T. Game, an anything, and Farley
Williams, a goldbug.
Mr.. Harris criticized the Tribune for
its vascillating attitude on all ques-
lions. He discussed the necessity of
people showing that the silver issue
was foremost in their minds and adj
vised Democrats not to go back upon
their pledges.
Judge Powers made a few concluding
remarks, in which he referred to the
merits of the Democratic nominees, be-
ginning with Mr.. Dale.
