GOOD TALKS FOR DEMOCRACY
FISHER HARRIS AND JUDGE
HENDERSON SPEAK.
Urged the Voters to Support the
Straight Democratic Ticket
Large and Enthusiastic Audience.

A Democratic rally was held at
Thomas Hall last night, the speakers
being Hon. f. S. Harris and Hon. H. P.
Henderson.
The attendance was large and great
enthusiasm prevailed.
Valentine Gideon presided, and the
Prize Glee club rendered several cam
paign songs.
Mr.. Harris began with some humor-
Gus references to the Tribune's mis-
statement of the issues. While he was
aware that the creator of all things
had not endowed him with much per-
sonal beauty, he was also aware that
he was not exactly as represented in
the Tribune by that paragon of beauty,
the Tribune manager.
Mr.. Harris dwelt on the Importance
of the election, and emphasized the
point that there are but two parties in
the field. There were some offshoots,
too insignificant to be mentioned, fol-
lowed by a few individuals like War
rem Foster snarlfng at the feet of Hon.
B. H. Roberts.
The speaker reviewed the records of
both parties, calling attention to the
tendency of the Republicans to favor
the rich and well born, While the DEM
ocratic party was always with the
ton, but did not make any lengthy ar
gument upon 1t, although showing
clearly the treatment silver had re-
ceived at the hands Of the two great
parties When the test actually came
the Republicans were found against 1t
and the Democrats for it.
He paid his respects to Eldredge, and
said that when the silver miner of
Eureka and the sheepman of Sanpete
get together and compare notes with
respect to Eldredge's remarks to each
| of them, they would conclude that the
! Republican party and it's candidates
were the leading prevaricatorS OF Utan.
Mr. Harris referred to the attempt
I of Republicans to make the successful
| terrninat ton of the war an issue in this
campaign, and refuted 1t by showing
that the war was favored by all par
| ties It was not a. Democratic, Re
publican or a Populist war, but war
brought by the American people and
! the result would have been just the
same if the presidents chair had been
! filled by Warren, Foster, or any other
man of no consequence in Utah.
Concluding. he referred to the local
situation and spoke strongly in favor
of the straight Democratic ticket, say
! ing: Amy man who casts a vote for
| the Republican party or for any COM
promise between the Republican and
| Democratic parties, will cast a vote
against free silver and drive the iron
deeper into the soul of the distressed
workingman The man who wraps the
cloak of deceit about him with the
thought that I am holier than thou,
and says he will create great national
party of his own in Weber county, is
not true to himself, the silver cause or
the state which gave him BIRTH"
JUDGE HENDERSON.
Judge Henderson spoke briefly on the
folly of attempting to create ma
tional party which was not recognized
outside of Utah or even outside of
Weber county. The Democratic party
had espoused the cause of free silver,
and it's doors were open to all friends
of the white metal. The tariff was not
an issue in this campaign, because no
one was talking of reducing the tariff
at this time. except the Republicans.
He scored the administration for its
mismanagement of the war, which was
the only partisan feature about it.
Mr.. Harris goes to Morgan county,
speaking in the forenoon at Peterson,
next at Morgan and at another place in
the evening.
Judge Henderson leaves this morning
for southern Utah.
