peaceful soldiers to return to the camp.
A corporal spoke up and said:
''All who do are cowards."
Captain Holbrook asked him to what
regiment he belonged, and he answered.
''The Big Four" Captain Holbrook told
him that was no way to speak to an
officer. The soldier made some reply
and Holbrook grasped him by the arm.
The soldier tore himself away, leaving
his coat sleeve in the captains hand,
and, drawing a gun, shot at Holbrook.
The bullet missed the captain. The

(Special to NE Herald.'


Beaver, Oct. 1O.-The Democratic
county convention was held here today

of enthusiasm throughout. Hon. r. R.

state senator for the Eleventh district,
was made chairman and opened with a
rousing speech for Democracy. Miss

ton of the Democratic party.
The convention then proceeded to

tsneeiaI TO Tne herald,


Nephi, Oct. 10.-B. H. Roberts ar
was met at the depot by q large num-
Der Of prominent citizens and several
: OF the local candidates. He had scarce
ly arrived at his hotel when delega-
.tion from Levan put in an appearance
and insisted On his accompanying them
to their town and making a speech
there during the afternoon.
After q hurried lunch, the delegation,
together with several of the county
candidates, started for Levan, where a
rousing reception was given Mr.. Rob-
erts, he being the first really live con-
gressional candidate who has so far
visited their thriving little city.
Mr.. Roberts had only time to shake
off the desert dust after his 16-mile
ride, and eat hasty supper, when the
committee here waited upon him to
escort him to the tabernacle, where he
found the spacious building already
filed with an eXpectant assemblage,
and the band keeping the crowd in
good humor
After being introduced by Chairman
Carter of the precinct Democratic COM
mittee, Mr.. Roberts began an earnest
and eloquent review of the position of
the two great parties on the financial
question. He showed by facts and fig
ures that the Democratic party was
the party that was in favor of the peo-
pies money, gold and silver. He read
numerous extracts from official publica-
tions, showing that the course OF the
Republican party for the past quarter
OF century favored the single stand
ard, or gold, as the money of the peo-
pie and that the policy of the Repub-
llcan party had tended to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer, and
naturally fostered trusts and unlawful
combinations to both rGb ana enslaVe
the people He showed conclusively
that the rise and TALL in the price of
silver carried with it the price of
wheat, the great cereal staple, except
in case where failure of crops and fam
inc caused an unnatural demand. He
showed conclusively that the battle cry
of the Republican party of free silver,
reciprocity and protection" was an
tagoniStic, inconsistent and nothing
short Of q delusion and n snare TO eaten
votes. He showed by statistics that
protection did not protest either lead,
wool or sugar, and gave the exact fig
ureS, showing that the extent to which
these three great industries were af-
1ected in Utah was but bagatelle
compared to the immense loss through
the decentralization OF silver by The Re
publican party.
Throughout his entire speech, which
was q, masterpiece in eloquence, pathos

with the closest attention by the large
audience, fully half of whom were
women. After the close of the meeting
the speaker received the congratula-
tions OF many former Republicans and
was literally applauded. The sledge-
hammer blows showered upon the de-
Inora!ized Republicans tonight will
have telling effect. They realize their
chance of success is hopeless
The entire Democratic state and
county ticket in this county bids fair
TO be elected by the largest majority
ever received by either party at any
previous election.

GERONIMO ON THE WAR.
Old Apache Chief Says the indians
Are Making a Mistake.

Omaha, Oct 10-'The Minnesota IN
dians will see that they have made
great mistake in going on the war
path" says Geronimo, the famous
Apache chief, who is one of the Indians
now in camp at the Indian congress.
Il have never been in Minnesota, bat
1 hear that up there, and for hundreds
of miles beyond, the white men are
as many as the blades of grass. II
that is so, what can a few poor In
dians do in fight? They are making
a great mistake and are fools. For
years l fought the white men, thinking
that with my few braves l could Kill
them all, and that we would again have
the land that our great father gave US
and which he covered with game. L
thought that the great spirit would be
with US, and that after we had killed
the white men, the buffalo, deer and
antelope would come back. After l
fought and lost, and after l Travelled
over the country in which the white
man lives and saw his cities and the
work that he had DONE my heart was
ready to burst. knew that the race
of Indians were done"
Asked what he thought would event
ually become of the Indians, Geronimo
hesitated and pointed to the west and
awhile, and then it goes down, sinking
out of sight, and it is lost. So it will
be with the Indians.
When l was boy my father told
me that the Indians were as many as
the leaves on the trees, and that off
in the north they had many horses and
fields. never saw them, but l knew
that If they were there, then they have
gone now, and the white man has TAX
en- all they had, 1t will be only a few
years more until the Indians will be
heard of no more, except in the books
that the White man has written. They
are not the people that the great faith
er loves, for if they were he would
protect them. They have tried to
please him, but they do not know how.
Schools are good things for In
d1ans, but it takes many years to
change the nature of the Indian. If an
Indian boy goes to school and learns
to be like a white boy, he comes back

ROBERTS AT LEVAN.
Immense Audience Listened to His
Mastery Address.
Especial to The Herald,

Levan, Oct. 10.-The air was sur
charged with political enthusiasm since
early morning. when the news was
given out that Hon. 3. II. Roberts and
Fisher Harris would eXpound Demo-
cratic doctrines here this afternoon, al
though the time was brief, before noon
IL is safe to say, it was lxnowle by every
inhabitaut from one end of the town
to the other that the blacksmith ora
tor and the idol Of the young Democ-
racy, would honor our town with their
presence. Shortly before o'clock a
caValcade was seen approaching in the
distance and soon drew up at the taber-
nacle, where a great gathering had al
ready assembled. 1t was something of
d disappointment to learn that Hon
Fisher Harris had not come, for he has
many warm personal friends here, but
the welcome was not less warm and
spontaneous for the congressional nom
inee, who was received with cheer upon
cheer.
After the preliminaries Mr. Roberts
was introduced and for an hour and a
half he eloquently reviewed the ffnan-
cial question, he showed logically and
conclusively that it was to the interest
OF all classes, the farmer, the wage
worker, both the producer and the con-
sumer, that this country should adopt
the bimetailic standard, and that the
only hope for free silver and prosperity
was through the great Democratic
party, the party of the common people,
the party that is at war with trusts
and the money power. During his en-
tire address he was attentively listened
to by those present, which composed
the greater part of the adult population
of the town, and his strong and elo-
qUent sentences were literally cheered.

Hon. Alma Eldredge was then intro
duced, and after talking about early
history, made the following remarks:
MY friends, it is to your interest to
adopt best government. If 1 cannot
prove that it is better to adopt a better
government than our Democratic
friends can give you, will ask you to
stay with the Democrats. A man should
be upright and honest enough to ac-
cord to another the same treatment
that he asks for himself under like cir
cumstances. The Democratic party
says it is the friend of silver, and 1
believe it is. The Republicans are like
wise in favor of silver They have
proven they are friends to silver. 1t
is true that the Independent free coin

st. Louis. Senators Teller, Dubois and
Cannon walked out of the convention,
but, my friends, 1 believe they did it
for selfishk purpose. The Democrats
met in Chicago. Those boilers went
there, told the Democrats that they had
million votes to cast with them if
they would declare for. silver. The
declaration in favor of silver was made.
The boilers expected Teller would be
chosen for president and the others
would then get cabinet positions.
New York he went on to say, has
to be asked when a president is elected.
She is so powerful that not a president
has ever been elected without her aid.
She has declared against silver; so, my

friends, where is the Democratic par

then, to endorse a party which is in
favor of bimetallism internationally
than one which stands no better show
than the Democratic party does? What
does my honorable opponent say? He
says that silver is the principal issue.
1 don't think SO; 1 think the tariff is
an issue"
Mr.. Eldredge then went on telling
what a benefit the Dingley bill was,
consuming about one hour.

fessor John p. Meakin recited 1.-The
