Logan, Nov. 5.-Senator J. L. Rawlins
and Judge S. r. Thurman were greeted
at the opera house tonight by ire
mendous audience, composed in the
main of voters. Standing room was at
premium. The Byrum band and Lo-
gan Mandolin and Guitar club were in
attendance, and their music was heart
lily appreciated. Precinct Chairman
Edward Hanson presided, and on the
stage with him sat large company OF
prominent citizens of this city, in
Guiding Chairman Mathews, Professor
w. ]. Kerr, Miss Bessie Morehead,
Hon. A. T. Farr, DR.. E. G. Gowans,
several candidates and many others.
Mr.. Rawlins was first introduced and
was accorded a hearty reception, one
that dwarfed into insignificance that
given TO Eldredge and John Henry
Smith when they spoke here. He de-
voted the main part of his address to
a thorough discussion of the silver
question, showing the perfidy of the
Republican party upon that question.
His remarks We're listened to with the
most breathless interest, and created a
good impression. His mention of the
name of Bryan brought forth a tenn
pest of applause.
The senator's graphic recital of the
events leading up to the war with
Spain, showing the validating policy
of the president in regard to maintain
ing the honor of the country, created
a, profound sensation. and his denun-
citation of the official incompetency in
the war department was applauded.
Speaking of Governor Wells state
ment at the meeting in Salt Lake last
evening, he denounced him for lending
himself TO so foul conspiracy as the
words he uttered made so apparent.
what do you think of the utterances
of a man who, if judged by the stand
ard he applies to the Democratic can
didate, would be held up to the world
as a child of no one?" ne asked, amid
a silence that was almost deathlike.
Can the utterances of a man who
casts a stigma upon his parents be of
any Importance to the people of Utah?
No; and Governor Wells has only
shown himself to be the miserable tool
of the masters of the Republican party
in the east, who are bending every
energy to obtain control of the next
congress"
He urged local Democrats to lay
aside personal animOsities and vote
the ticket straight. He was heartily
applauded when he took his seat
THURMAN DENOUNCES WELLS.
The Mandolin and Guitar club rem
dered selection, after which Hon. S.
Il. Thurman was introduced and was
received very cordially. He pointed
out in an interesting manner the glar-
lng Inconsistencies advocated by Re
publican speakers in this county. He
ridiculed the claims of the Republic
ans regarding the credit for conduct
ing the recent war. He denounced the
Tribune for its fight on Mr.. Roberts
and declared that it was insineere in
its opposition, opposing Mr.. Roberts,
not because he is a polygamist, but
rather because he is a Democrat. He
pointed out that both Governor Wells
and c. c. Goodwin unhesitatingly sup
ported a polygamist for president of
the constitutional convention. The
governor was bitterly denounced by
the speaker. Mr.. Thurman was loudly
cheered at the close of his speech.
The statement of Governor Wells
has caused a verjtable storm of indig-
nation here, and nothing else has been
talked of on the streets today. Every
where ne is roundly censured, although
but few believe the sentiments ex-
pressed to be his own
