sue in this campaign. Is it? This state
produces something like $12,000,O00 in
silver every year, and they are seek
ing to place the wool industry, which
brings in 100000 yearly to our state,
ahead of it. They tell US we must put
silver aside and fight for WOOL Ny
friends, don't let us be misled into fol-
lowing false political gods.
and then they would seek to make
war political issue. Just one word.
The men who went down on the Maine
were not Republicans or Democrats,
but American citizens. Shame upon he
who seeks to creep into political office
on the ashes OF our dead heroes" Gap
plause.)
In concluding Mr.. harris arraigned
the administration for its gross mis-
management of the war. a sentiment
that met with a hearty RESPONSE.
HON d. o. RIDEOUT.
State Senator Rideout declared that ours
was the most perfect form of government
yet attained. and while it might be i'm
proved upon in the future. at this time it
stood for the advancement and progress
or the world. In order to DerDetuate the
principles which underiie its foundation
ne felt constrained to say the best meth
ods or dealing out exact and equal justice
by a close adherence to the principles OF
the Democratic party.
IhlS is an age when men seek fortunes.
There was a time when other forces pre-
dominated In the 10th century religion
held sway and in the 18th politics. Now
1t is money. Fortune hunters, in their
struggles TO amaSS great wealth are prone
to forget the interests of the common
people.
The circulating medium of the body
is the blood which courses through all its
channels. giving life and health. The
circulation of the country is in it's money.
When you deprive any portion of the
human frame of the circulating medium.
you destroy it's life, and when the cur
rency of country is contracted then the
country suffers.
Currency reform is a tenet of the faith
of the Democracy and the party stands
pledged to it.
The foundations of our government shall
be measured by the wisdom and devotion
to duty of those whose high calling it
shall be to solve the questions which con-
front it, and among these questions Is
the paramount one which advocates an
expansion by the unlimited coinage of
both gold and silver.
The Glee club then sang Jus Lissen to
Dis Coon" a campaign song which was
warmly applauded.
MATTE HUGHES CANNON.
State Senator Matties Hughes Cannon
evoked much enthusiasm as she came
forward in response to the chairs intro
ducti0n. She delved into the subject with
out any preliminaries
Il suppose" she began, that no ticket
Der within the party. l want TO say in be-
half of the women of Utah that they are
not going to listen to the seductive talk
of those who are seeking to ALLEVIATE their
vote. 1t has been said that the women
will not vote the state ticket. but l am
here TO say that a great change has come
over the women since the meeting or the
state convention, and they now look upon
b. H. Roberts as a st. Paul. We expect
him to carry the banner of woman suff-
rage right into the citadel of Washington
to fight for our cause in the thick of the
enemy. If the Democratic party fails or
victory 1 assure you it viii not be the
fault of the women of Utah.
HON. F. s. RICHARDS.
Hon. Franklin S. Richards made a short
address: He. could not understand how
a man believing in free silver could con-
sistantly be anything but Democrat.
He decried the idea that Republicans In
Utah were earnest in their declarations
for silver. 1t was only cloak cast out
by politicians TO catch votes. He con-
tended there was but one issue in this
campaign. and that was silver. BY, elect
ing the Democratic ticket men who be-
lieve in this principle are placed in power.
If Republican legislature is elected
goldbug United States senator will be
sent from Utah.
The speaker was enthusiastic in his
reference to the ticket. appealing to all
true patriots to vote the ticket from top
to bottom, the. only consistent course to
pursue in this campaign.
Mr.. Richards was repeatedly interrupted
by applause.
HON. o. w. POWERS.
Judge Powers was the last speaker OF
the evening, but by no means the least.
He said he was there to ratify the Demo-
cratic ticket from top to bottom. To urge
the election of every man on the ticket
without any exception; not only that, he
was there to defend every candidate, no
tackled, at all times and in all places.
The speaker paused in his remarks to
pay a glowing tribute TO the memory of
Albert Spencer a candidate for the lower
house on the Democratic ticket, declaring
he wanted to place a garland of forget
me-nOts in honor of this young mans
memory. He was young MN of Ster-
ling ability and worth and in his death
was confident that could Mr.. Spencer
have seen into the future and could have
known this meeting was going to be held;
he would have said: Let it be held and
the cause of the people advanced
Judge Powers declared the question of
monetary reform stood above all the
others and until that is settled all others
stand in allegiance. Mr.. Eldredge declares
in reference to the silver question in
about the following language: LAS to the
silver question; as to the silver question;
we'll we'll let ii go at that Qaughter).
He ignores the fact that the Republicans
of Emery county have declared in favor
of the gold standard, and the Republicans
of Box Elder have endorsed the St. Louis
pared to go into the caucus of his party
at Washington, should he be elected. and
abide by the result, no matter what it
may be. so long as there is something said
about reciprocity, subject of which he
knows lust about as much as myself. He
is a man who belongs to a party which
is worshiping at the feet of Mark Hanna
in time of peace and of Alger in the time
of war
The Tribune is calling attention to Sara
Grants Heavenly Twins" daughter and
by innuendo and pictures, is telling us we
ought not to elect our candidate. Where
do they get the authority to pose as TO
the qualifications of the men on our tick
ct? They say he ought to be withdrawn
from the ticket, and where do they get
the authority for that? He was placed
there by Democratic convention and
there he will stay until he is withdrawn
by that convention. (Cheers.) He has no
power to resign of his own free will, be-
cause he is a creation of the convention
l do not like this campaign of innuendo
and suspicion l believe in the principle
that every man is innocent until he is
proven guilty, and that his guilt must be
established beyond a reasonable doubt
and not by indirect attack. They are not
going to cloud the issues and blind me-
Therefore / am going to state that | am
here to say l am going to sustain the
ticket which bears the names of B. H
Roberts and r. N. Baskin, and without
ecuivocation. | am not here to make
any apologies for the state ticket. nor
the county ticket. because both are COM
posed of good men.
Continuous applause greeted Judge
Powers conclusion, which ended the
meeting.
