in this engagement he was mortaIly

feat was not long unaveneed. however,

Then came Perry's victory. the ''We-have-

over the English fleet in Lake Erie. Six
vessels were the prize in this engagement,
a sad loss to England, an encOura ging lift

Peacock, which the Americans had taken
from the British, was used to capture an
other British ship. the brig EpervIoT. of
the coast of Wales. The prize was sold
for $4,000, and s11S.O00 in specie was found
on board. This was the first good victory
of 1914. Il was soon followed by another,
when the American Wasp captured the
Reindeer. Later she took the British At

The war of 1872 was productive of num-
Der of glorious American victories. The
first of these. after numerous preliminary
skirmishes, came on August 49, when the
frigate Constitution NOW the Newport
school ship. under Isaac Hull. captured
the British frigate Guerrero. In the next
month Lieutenant Elliott captured the
brigs Detroit and Caledonia from under
the guns of Fort Erie, the latter after
ward serving in Perry's fleet. II was only
a few days later that the frigate United
States captured the British Macedonia
off MADEIRA, the British loss being 104 and
the American eleven. a couple of months
later the Constitution captured the Brit
ish ship Java off Brazil, and in February
of 1913 the American sloop Hornet stung
and captured the British Peacock.

And then came the first prominent ap-
pearance of Captain John Paul Jones, who
in the old Providence picked up fifteen
British prizes late in '76. In April, rs, he
made that daring attack on Whitehaven,
and in September, 70, defeated the Eng
lish ship Scraps in the German ocean
with the Bonhomme Richard (named aft
er Poor Richard" or Benjamin Frank
lin), which sank the next day.
The two important battles in the naval
war with France were fought by the good

British armed schooner Margaretta was
whipped and captured. After that follow
ed a long list of minor engag ements, in
which Esek Hopkins. first commander

English ships. The edge Of these vic
tories was dulled a little, however. by the
defeat of the American feet on Lake

Victories of American Nav.

At the beginning of the war of the revo-
luton there was no American navy. How
ever, the continental privateers man
aged TO capture about $50 English vessels
and 1900 prisoners, 500 of them soldiers
in some of the best English regiments.
In the two years naval war with France
the fighting was all done by the navy,
which captured 50 of the enemy's yes
sells and about ), 900 men The wars with
the Barbary pirates were also brought
to satisfactory end by the unaided eff
forts of the navy, the United States Sc
curing privileges not granted to Euro
pean powers. Il was in the war OF 1872,
however. that our navy won its greatest
victory by whipping the British after it
had defeated the combined sea forces Of
the world. Over I.5C0 British ships were
taken and over 20, 900 British Seamen were
made prisoners. Finally in the Mexican
war, though there was not much chance
for naval cooperation with the land
forces, when the chance did come az Vera
Cruz the navy took it.
II is not necessary 10 detail all the vic
tories of the American navy to prove its
efficiency. The more important are suf-
fcient, and such names as Paul Jones,
Oliver Hazard Perry, Lawrence and the
others who won the victories ought TO be
enough to inspire their successors to their
best and bravest deeds.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-05

The Republican meeting at the Salt
Lake theatre last night was fairly well
attended. but it was far from salts
factory 10 the Republicans. a large
proportion of the audience was not in
sympathy with the speakers or the SEN
timents they expressed. So pronounced
was the opposition at times that it was
well nigh impossible for the speakers
70 proceed and even those who were
allowed to say their little say without
Interruptions met with no encourage
ment and found it uphill work. Once
when ex-senator Brown referred dis
paragingly to Bryan, the people cheer
ed for Bryan again and again and the
meeting came very near breaking up in
a row. When Secretary of State Ham
mond was making his little speech
Colonel Trumbo was seen to enter one
of the stage boxes. His appearance
was the signal for a round of applause
and cries of ''Trumbo! What's the mat
ter with Trumbo? He's all right and
more cheers proved an interruption al
most as formidable as the Bryan Incl
dent.
Several remarkable addresses were
made Notably was that read by Gov
ernor Wells, in which he made a per-
sonal attack upon b. H. Roberts, and
that of Mr.. Eldredge, which was not

ing terms the empty fight now being
waged against Mr.. Roberts and affirmed
the gentlenan's allegiance to the cause
of free coinage. He proved that Ell
dredge is the same sort Of a silver man
as Arthur Brown and the rest of Nc
Kinley's supporters. 1t would not mat
ter If all the Democrats and Repub-
leans in Utah were for silver, it would
not help the cause unless they had a
national party back of them. The
question is national and not local
one.
In answer to the question what has
the Democratic party done for silver,
the speaker called attention to the fact
that prior to 1896 the question was IN
advocated, except in a perfunctory
manner. by either party, and by a few
thinkers scattered throughout the
United States and England In 1895,
the Democratic party. following the
traditions of its past, lifted silver from
the mire of local politics and made it
a national issue, pledging to its accom-
pHshment all the powers of the Dem
ocratic organization. On the other
hand, the Republican party, after play
ing with the question since 1873, finally
laid aside its mask and stood revealed
the advocate of gold recommendation.
Roberts and Harris held meetings IN
Peoa and Kanas earlier in the day and
were enthusiastically received in each
settlement.

applause. and when it had died away
he spoke as follows:
Having been requested to act as
chairman of this meeting, although not
accustomed to preside at such gather
ings, or to make campaign speeches, 1
feel it a duty to express some of my
views in regard to the coming cleo
ton.
Much has been said in the newspa-
pers and from the platform in regard
to what are and what are not the is
sues in this campaign. Some of the
Republican speakers insist that the
tariff is the issue, and proceed to a
discussion of the benefits which have
been derived by Utah as a result of
the Republican administration. The
Democratic orators and the chief can
didate Of that party particularly, are
urging that silver is the real issue, be-
cause the tariff is practically deter
mined. and that the silver question is
not determined.
/ am glad to know that the Demo-
Gratis Of this state have decided that
the tariff question is settled, and I
trust that they will never agitate it
again.
The Republican speakers claim that
the silver question cannot be an issue
here because virtually the entire peo-
pie are in favor of free coinage, and
that where there is no antagonist there
can be no fight.

tonight with their eloquence in behalf
of the party of the people. The gen
tlemen arrived from Kamas at o'clock
and upon entering Andrews new build
ing, the largest hall available in the
city, found it crowded to the doors.
Mr.. Roberts was cheered loudly as he
entered and took his seat upon the
stage. The audience was very atten-
tive and exceptionally demonstrative,
the speakers at times being compelled
to wait for the thunderous applause to
subside.
Mr. Roberts, in beginning, spoke OF
the Importance of the campaign and the
necessity of electing and sending men
pledged to support silver to both houses
of the national legislature. He ex-
planned his position on the eight-hour
law and his opposition to the bill in
troduced because he did not wish to
overlook the constitutional convention
with matters which belonged to the
legislature. He declared in unmistake-
able terms his friendliness to labor, be-
ing himself a laboring man.
AS to the silver question, Mr.. Roberts
assumed that those present were settled
in their convictions as to the wisdom
OF bimetallic policy for the reason
that, in connection with their fellow
citizens Of Utah, they had accepted it
and rolled up majority of $4,000 for
free silver and William j. Bryan. AS
nothing had occurred in the past two
years to justify them in reversing the
decision then made, he logically con-
Guided that they were now only look
ing for an agency that had both the
inclination and the power to carry into
effect the wishes they then expressed.
This led to a logical review of the his
tory of fhe two parties and their pres
ent attitude with reference to silver,
and the speaker clearly demonstrated
that Democracy was the only agency
to which the people of Utah could turn
with any hope, that it would accom-
plish monetary reform and give back

able for its incoherency and disregard
of the ordinary rules of correct speak
ing. It was not such an address, if
delivered on the floor of congress,
would make Utah proud of her repre-
sentative. 1t and the governors ad-
dress are given verbatim in the report
which follows.
None OF the speakers faced the money
question fairly and squarely. Those
who referred to it all linked in the usual
parrot-like way, bimetaliism, protec-
ton and reciprocity, endeavoring at
ore moment to make it appear that the
Republicans were the friends OF silver
and at another staunch supporters OF
Mckinley and his administration, but
in their ardent advocacy OF protection
the silver issue was obScured.
When Nj Eldredse came out from
the wings a couple of boys in the top
gallery, who no doubt recognized the
congressional candidate from his pic
lures in the newspapers, sought to stir
up a little enthusiasm by whistling.
Fred Price mistook this kind of DEM
onstration for a reflection on the candi-
date and threatened to send a police
man up and clear out the whole crowd.
The rest of the audience either did not
, recognize Nj Eldredge or else lacked
the courage to cheer, for they remained
silent
The K. of p band played a medley of
national airs which evoked some cheers,
and then Wesley X. Walton appeared
and introduced Governor Wells as
chairman of the meeting.
No one suspected the chief executive
of the state would make the most in
teresting speech Of the evening as he
pulled the manuscript out OF his pock-
ct and came forward, but he did: in
fact, before he was through he created
an interest that produced almost
breathless silence.
The governor was given a round of
