The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-28

Kaysville, Oct. 27-It was great re-
ception Messrs. Roberts and Harris re-
ceived at the hands of the Davis county
Democrats at Layton tonight. The in
spiration of packed hall led the
speakers on, they realizing that those
present were there for the purpose OF
hearing the real issues Of this cam
paign discussed. Hon. Fisher Harris
was presented by the chairman, An
drew 3. Cook. Mr. Harris briefly, put
ably, outlined the silver question, and
also pictured the advantages that
ewould accrue to the country and people
joy affirming the Democracy OF Thomas
jefferson.
Loud cheers followed Mr.. Harris re-
marks, which became still louder IN
anticipation OF a speech from Mr.. Rob
erts. The latter made one of the clear
est and most convincing talks on silver
that has been heard in Utah, and fire.
quent applause greeted his clinching
arguments Mr.. Roberts presented a
grand exposition of Democratic prln-
ciples, and became most eloquent as
his subject was gradually opened up.
There need be no fear Of disappoint-
ed audiences; all were deeply I'M
pressed with the forceful oratOry. At
ter the meeting 4 general Misunderstanding
followed, and Mr.. Roberts must have
felt that he has a large support from
all over Davis county from the genu-
inc enthusiasm manifested.
A prominent Kaysville Republican in
attendance upon the meeting was heard
to remark: 1T would seem that the
Salt Lake Tribune's estimate of the
enthusiasm generated at the Roberts
meetings held throughout the state is
erroneous"
MEETING AT PENNINGTON.
Pennington, Oct. 27.-Hon. B. H.
Roberts spoke TO an audience in which
ladies predominated at the social hall
here this afternoon. His address,
though not q lengthy one, was mas
teTly effort and the frequent applause
was evidence that what he said found
a responsive echo in the hearts of his
hearers.
Mr.. Roberts declared that there is
one, and only one issue. He
then entered into an elaborate
discussion of the silver question, MAX
ing each point clear and decisive.
What word will Utah send to the
east this year? viii it be that we have
reversed ourselves and admitted that
we were mistaken when we voted for
Bryan in 1886? Will we- by our votes,
declare that we desire as our represen-
tative in congress a man who, it is
said, voted for Mckinley in 1896? a
man who is charged with having
bought a bill of goods just before the
presidential election, and who said to
the salesman: If Mckinley is elected
ship these goods to me; if Bryan wins,
don't fill the order?' What change has
there been that our vote should be
against the friends of silver this year?
None whatever. The question is not
one of men. it is a, question Of princi-
pie so grand and so far-reaching that
it extends beyond the United States,
and embraces the whole world It is a.
question of humanity. Let your vote be
given to further the cause OF the peo-
pie, and TO support the principles that
are this year at stake" (Applause.)
Senator Daniel Hamer of Ogden
spoke for a few moments, urging the
necessity Of loyalty to party. that there
shall be no weakening of the strength
of those who, in 1860, will fight the
great battle for the emancipation Of
silver.
