Kaysville, Oct. 22.-One of the most
eloquent and convincing political
speeches that have ever been heard in
Kaysville was delivered in the music
hall last evening by Hon. o. W. Powers.
before an audience of several hundred
representative people. some of whom
had come from South Weber, Layton
and Pennington to hear the eloquent
orator. 1t was the opening rally of
the campaign in Kaysville, unless it
can be said that Meakins show last
week. at which only 30 persons We're
present, was a rally.
Precinct Chairman =. w. Barnes
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Thomas H. Phillips as chair
man. Mr. Phillips spoke briefly of 10
cal matters.
The glee club sang The Old Silver
Dollar" and was applauded.
Judge Powers was greeted with
hearty applause, and as he proceeded
with mis- argument the audience
warmed up and cheered his telling
points.
The speaker said that he brought
news from the great mining camps OF
the Tintic district that the cause of
Democracy is all right; that the state
ticket is being enthusiastically sup
ported. and that the candidates are
popular with the voters Of that section.
The Republicans stand upon a plat
form that can be construed two ways.
Their organ seeks TO revive old issues,
and plays upon the passions and preju-
dices Of the voters, not on principle,
but in conformity with their avowed
motto of TAnything 10 Beat the Demo-
Gratis" On their handbills for use in
Davis county they ask the people to
vote for home, protection, reciprocity
NJ.
pete county declare for protection. re-
ciprocity. home and silver; in Cache
county the legend reads, Reciprocity,
protection. home and silver. while
those posters intended for use in the
mining regions read, silver, home,
protection and reciprocity" Thus
they declare in one part of the state
for silver, in another for protection and
all the time it is Anything to Beat the
Democrats.

While the Republicans are talking of

very sight of Utah's great silver camps.
The speaker then spoke Of Mr. Rob
erts and Mr.. Baskin. and recounted
their qualifications for the high posi-
tions TO which they had been nomi-
mated At the mention OF their names
there was hearty applause. Mr.. Pow
ers said the Tribune was openly at
lacking Roberts in the hope that Cen
tiles would be driven from his support
At the same time a quiet work is be-
ing done against Baskin to prejudice
Mormon people against him. The fit
ness of the men and the principles they
represent count as nothing. With. the
Republicans this year il is Anything

dishonesty. Judge Powers said If the

erts it ought TO open up on John Henry
also. and 4 nurse ought to be sent with
him over the state.
