THEY ALL HONORED DEWEY

the dust of defeat on which is the star
of the youngest state in the Union;
the star Of Utah, and 1 predict that
While the volunteers which are being
raised here may never see the smoke
of the battle, that if they do they will
make record of which all of US may
be proud. We say Our country, may
she always be right, but our country,
right or wrong"
JUDGE GOODWIN.
There was a whole lot of cheering
at the conclusion of Judge Powers
speech, and then Judge Goodwin was
hauled I'D on the stand to receive an
ovation. The cheering was intense
| during his remarks and very few could
hear what he had to say, but he felici
tated the people on the victory which
had been won by Admiral Dewey and
declared that Spain could not prevail;
that the 800 years of wrong and oppres-
sion by the Spanish were at an end
and Cuba would be free. The boys were
shouting Remember the Maine" and
the hearts Of the American sailors were
strong and the eyes of the gunnerS
true as they vindicated the majesty of
the people Of this land on the sea. The
victory was a grand one because we
had not lost man. 1t was a great
battle and the people ought to rejoice
with the great and gallant man who
had won it.
JUDGE JACKSON.
Judge Jackson was next. He pro-
yoked a great deal of enthusiasm by
declaring that now was the time when
! everyone felt proud of the fact that he
! was a citizen of this great country.
| Dewey had met the enemy, and dem
onstrated to the complete satisfaction
I of all parties concerned that Spain was
not in this fight to any alarming ex-
| tent. 1t was a victory of which all
might be proud. Abiding to the axiom
to Remember the Maine" the speaker
declared that was not all there was to
it. The lost ship represented more Jhan
the mere dollars which it cost to build
her. There is the memory OF the lives
lost; the gallant men, taken without
warning. The war should De continued
until the men who blew up that ship
we're taken and punished; met the fate
they deserved. The judge said he was
glad to be a citizen of Utah. Although
from Kentucky, the land where the
horses are the fastest, the whisky the
oldest and best, and the women the
prettiest and truest still he felt to
here; but more proud was he in this
moment that he was citizen of the
United States of America.
FISHER HARRIS.
Fisher S. Harris made few patriotic
remarks, commencing the victory gain
ed, and created a great deal of enthu-
s:asm by his emphatic utterances.
GENERAL PENROSE.
General Penrose, late commander of
the Sixteenth infantry, made a few re-
marks, in which he glorified in the vic
tory which had been won by American |
sailors, and declared it was,an hour for
great rejoicing.
Al the conclusion of his remarks three
cheers were given for the flag, and the |
Orpheus club sang their song, the air
being that of John Browns Body Lies |
a Wondering In the Grave, But His |
Soul Goes Marching On" Here are the |,
words:
Dewey's little warships in Manila harbor
He blew up the Spanish squadron in the
twinkling of an eye,
He licked the bloomin' Spaniards, and he
blew them high and dry.
You bet, he remembered the Maine.
Glory, glory hallelujah,
Glory, glory hallelujah,
Glory, glory hallelujah and Cuba shall
be free.
Well hang Butcher Weyler to a sour
apple tree.
Wen blow the Spanish navy clear from
off the deep blue sea,
The glorious name OF Dewey shall resound
in history;
Glory, glory hallelujah,
Glory, glory hallelujah,
Glory, glory hallelujah, and Cuba shall
be free.
If Spain will only send her fleet unto the
Cuban shore
Our gallant Admiral Sampson wouldn't
ask for any more
And when he got through with them
Spain would be awful sore;
You bet. he'll remember the Maine
Glory. glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, ha1lelujah,
Glory, glory hallelujah, and Cuba shall
be free.

early in the evening. They had song
of their own. 1t was this:
Oh Dewey was the morning. upon the {

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
And Dewey was the admiral who sailed
Manila bay
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
The Union forever hurrah boys. hurrah. {
Down with the Spaniards and up with the S
