The speaker next pointed to the fallacy
of the statement made by the Examiner,
the exponent of the fuSionistS, that the
funding amendment is the sole issue, and
the speaker carefully explained this
amendment, which in the halls of Con-
which had been framed by Democrat
John T. Morgan of Alabama-improved ny
a Democrat and voted for by every Demo-
cratic and Populistic Senator as well as
by Republicans, and which cannot be
modified by the Legislature. The speaker
also touched upon that alleged remedy
of all evils, the single tax. In conclusion

otto manner in which the country is sup
porting him, and how the people IN TINS I'M
are a unit He discussed briefly the sill
yer question, the protection or American
industries, and the decrease Of the public
debt under Republican administrat
THE war with Spain, said Mr. MetcaI (,
has demonstrated to the world that the
people are a unit; that sectionalism no
longer exists; there is no longer north,
monious people. Every American should
highly prize his citizenship. l believe,
though this priceless boon ought only TO

can read and write the English language
and understand our form of government.

Zenship, not degeneratlng 1t.
Mr. MetcaIf expressed himself in favor
of retaining all conquered territory; un-
alterably opposed to the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio of Is to l; in favor of
the strictest kind of an immigration law
in favor of the Nicaragua canal, put
owned and controlled by the United
States: in favor of harbor and river I'M
provements, and extending railroads the
same consideration as any private lndl-
vidual.
Hon. II. II. 1ISSiuil was Inc iAN1NI ShA.N
last speaker. He said he had lived in
the State forty-eght years, but had never
been accused of being railroad man, YET
he once invested $500 in a Salt Lake rail-
road enterprise and that was $500 more
than Mcguire ever put up in his lie
against railway monopoly. He referred
to the fusion party as the 'three-tailed
monkey" without brains or sense, but
an abnormally developed paw reaching
for the public treasury, and said there
were men who speak of Jeffersonian De-
mocracy who never read one of Jeffer-
sons speeches or knew anything about
the fundamental principles of govern
ment. He spoke of the evils of single
tax, and how Maguire's success would
only further it. OF Mcguire he said that
he need not open kindergarten for him
self Gage and Barnes, for "he can't teach
US politics, because we can never stay in
office sixteen years and straddle all the
political principles that Mcguire has.
Mcguire is to Stephen NJ. White what
Hyperion was TO a satyr.' He urged every
good Republican to vote for Metcalf for
Congressman and roll up the Republican
majority for Gage to such numbers that
single tax will be wiped out forever as an
issue in this State.
