Ogden, Nov. 1.-The campaign was
closed tonight with four roUsing Demo-
cratic meetings Congressman W. H.
King addressed three Of them. and eff
fectually gave the lie to the published
statement that he would not participate
because he opposed the ticket. The first
meeting was an open air meeting on the
city hall square where an immense
bonfire was kindled. About /, 600 people
attended.
Mr.. King was introduced by John n.
Perkins, Who said, in part: Il &C me up
here to lift up my voice in behalf Of
the Democratic party and principles. l
viii always support a Democratic ticket
when it has been nominated, even if my
worst enemies are on that ticket. Even
in case mistakes were made in nomi-
mating ticket, this is no time to go to
| the enemy to correct them"
He emphasized the Importance of the
| silver question, saying: Don't you
think we will be better united in the
neXt campaign if we remain united in
this one?" (Cheers.)
! Mr.. King spoke for about 20 minutes,
and held the attention Of the crowd
which broke again and again into
! cheers.
AT THE CITY HALL.
From the open-air meeting Mr.. King
went to the city hall, where a large
! gathering of ladies was assembled. Mr..
Perkins spoke briefly and introduced
Judge King as one who had been in
strumental in securing suffrage. Here
the speaker urged unity in support of
! the entire ticket. when Democrats
are confronted by Republicans [ would
consider myself recreant to nv calling,
! ~ nd in, {
my voice in defense of Democracy. [
wish to congratulate the ladies on the
! universal suffrage. The science Of pol
tiles is the science of good government
! Elections lie at the base of republican
institutions, and tyranny is impossible
where primaries and conventions are
held each year. When all are Interested
! in the movement, we will have a per
| feet government, and l tell you that
those principles which are good enough
for the guidance of a nation are good
enough for the government of a munic-
ipality."
He urged the vital Importance of
keeping up the party organization, so
as TO be better equipped for the battle
| in 1900. The speech was enlivened by
story or two. and was greeted with
bursts of applause so often as to be re-
markable at q woman's meeting.
A VOTE FOR HANNA.
Mr.. King scored the Republican con-
vention for allowing itself to be dom
mated by men who believe only in the
gold standard. IF you vote for Driver
you vote for Hanna. A vote for Re
publicanism is a vote for the gold
| standard.
I'm congress Speaker Reed OBJ
structed the silver question on every
possible occasion. a The Republicans
worked and voted against it, yet in
ogden you men who pretend to be sill
yer Republicans are thinking of vot-
ing for men who stand shoulder to
shoulder with such men. (Cries OF
No, no.") No, you are not going to
brand yourselves with Hannaism and
goldbugfsm. You will not unite with
plutocratic tyranny. What viii you
gain by following the Republicans?"
Mr.. King here told a story of a calf
that followed the oxen in spite of the
efforts of small boy, who in anger
called out to the calf, You'll find out
something about supper time" (Laugh.
| ter).
The only question to ask about John
A. Boyle is, rs he a Democrat, and
does he stand for silver" (Applause)
