the people, by contracting the circulat-
ing medium the Indebtedness of the
country are placed at the mercy of the
bankers and capitalists. The money
power has deprived the federal govern
ment of the power of regulating the
currency and placed it in the hands of
individuals. This sovereign power,
which belongs to the government, has
been reduced to a private enterprise.
Is there anything in the Republican
party's history for the last two years,
asked the speaker, that evidences its
desire TO bring about the remonetiZa-
ton of silver? If there is, if any mem
Der of the Republican party can point
to one thing that the party has done
in favor of silver, the speaker would
not ask him or any other to vote the
Democratic ticket. The Republicans of
Oregon waged their campaign on
straight Republicanism and they de-
fined that as advocacy of the single
gold standard. That is straight Re-
publicanism. Straight Democracy is
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting
for the consent of any other nation.
How can any Republican in Utah who
believes in free coinage, vote the Re
publican ticket?
Judge King then spoke of the money
power as the cause of Mr.. Bryan'S de-
feat in 1896. Cleveland succeeded in
defeating D. 3. Hill because Hill at
that time was suspected of bimetallic
tendencies. He had written and stated
that we needed a larger circulating me-
dunn. The great danger before the
American people is the money power.
| The greatest scourge of the American
people, said Andrew Jackson, is the
national bank and if it is perpetuated
it will be like the ferocious lioness re-
turning from the jungle to devour:, How
can the Republicans of Utah obscure
the real issue and employ themselves
with triues scarcely sufficient to salts
fly children.
The Democratic party will meet the
enemy squarely 1t will fight the
money power, it will come out yictori-
Gus and will settle the question whether
! this country shall be a country for the
people or the land of the aristocrats
and the plutocrats. Democracy is for
! the people and in the name of the peo-
pie it will conquer
JUDGE POWERS GREAT SPEECH.
Judge Powers was greeted with an
ovation lasting several minutes. When
quiet was obtained, Judge Powers de-
livered a most remarkable address

and earnestness A synopsis of the
speech is as follows:
Mrs. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men. I thank you for this magnificent
demonstration and this magnificent
audience I bring you good cheer from

county, and say it is going Demo
cratic. I bring you good cheer from all
over the state, and tell you that Utah
| is going Democratic.
We have had a peculiar and most
bewildering campaign. In its early
stages it was suggested that the al

when the details of the consolidation
came up for discussion, we found that
the question of dicker for offices was
paramount. We declined to cooper

mantle of Abraham Lincoln, worn tC
