fsnecial Cnrresnnndence.N

NeDhi, Nov. eff the immense turnout
of enthusiastic Democrats last night to
listen to the eloquent and convincing logic
OF Hon. C. H. Penrose, Judge Baskin and
others can be considered a proof of DEM
ocratic earnestness and loyalty here, 1t
will be found there were no laggards
when the vote is counted Tuesday night.
Despite the frantic efforts made by the
Mckinley sheep men, who for weeks have
mdustriously circulated misleading re-
ports and used money laviShly 10 deceive
and debauch voters, Juab county Will be
found to still occupy top place in the
The earnestness of Mr.. Penrose in his
speech last night, when he laid bare the
dishonesty of the Republican double
barreled" platform on the silver question;
the falsity of the claim thar the Drngley
tariff law was the cause for advance in
the price of wool and wheat, unless it
was an electric tariff, and, by touching
one Dingley button, wheat would jump TO
ST. and press the other Dingley button, it
would drop to 40 cents, as IL is now; and
the same with wool. which must also be
worked by the mysterious button plan,
was so convincing that many who listened
are no longer in doubt He showed that
the assertion of Mr.. Eldredge in his ramb-
ling remarks here claiming that the Ding
ley bill had doubled the price OF sheep and
cattle. must be a mistake, and proved.
by reading the live stock clause of that
much-quoted law, which placed no tariff
cattle, the same as under the former Will
son tariff law, so it was impossible the
Dingley tariff law could be responsible for
doubling the price of sheep and cattle,
but the law of supply and demand alone
regulated the price.
He regretted the course pursued by the
Tribune, Governor Wells and Mr.. Ed
redge. and that others, from whom better
things might have been expected, and
who but few brief months ago saw
nothing but good in Hon. B. II. Roberts,
should now stoop to the low plane of per-
Sonal villIficaton that honorable men can
only ScOrn and condemn. He claimed that
if Hon. B. H. Roberts had violated the
law, as claimed, why not proceed against
him and punish him as the law demands?
Mr.. Penroses speech was applauded so
frequently and approvingly that at times
1t was impossible for him to proceed for
considerable intervals.
Judge Baskin spoke for some time and
touched upon the financial issues, the
tariff and the constitutional amendments
to be voted upon at this election. This
was the judges first appearance before
an audience here and he was we'll re-
ceived and literally applauded
County Attorney Pike made some strong
points in his address. and showed the tax
payers what ruin the decentralization of
silver by the Republican congress had
wrought to the people of Juab county,
that further decline to the point where
the industry must cease and that point
would leave no taxable values in the
great Tintic mining camp, and, as a mat
ter of fact the agricultural and stock
raising industries would have the entire
burden of meeting the cost of running
the county government and our proper
certainly double taxation on this side of
the county.
