DraSkan on a level with Grover HCleVe-
land, regarding his attitude towards
silver and for time it looked as
though the speaker would have to quit.
The audience resented the allusion to
Bryan in such company, and again and
again the cheers SWelled the hall and
chagTined the few faithful who occu-
pied the front row on the stage.
Senator Brown opened by saying the
Republican party today stood exactly
where If has always stood. and was
the only real friend of silver. He con-
sue, because the party in power was
entitled to credit and endorsement for
its able conduct of the war. Tariff was
| also an issue. DESPITE Mr.. Roberts as
sertions to the contrary.
After a While Mr.. Brown reached the
silver question, and, as usual drew no
distinction between Cleveland Democ-
racy and Bryan Democracy He de-
elared Roberts and Rawlins and other
prominent Democrats stood on the same
platform as Cleveland in 1892; yes, and
even that idol of Democracy, Bryan.
Then the fun began. The magic
name stirred the house to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm, and it was some
time before the speaker could proceed.
Undaunted by this spectacle, the eX-
senator held his ground, and when he
was permitted to continue he said the
only reason the Democratic party re-
pudiated Cleveland in 1896 was because
he could not have led them on to vic
tory. Concluding, the speaker ventured
the statement that the election of a
Democratic congress this year would
give the foreign nations a chance to
scorn the American people for their
lack of appreciation of President Nc
Kinley, their great president.
NJ CANNON
George NJ. Cannon was anxious to
know how the people of Salt Lake City
would vote. He was satisfied the peo-
pie in the county outside of the city
would vote the Republican ticket, and
the people in the state would cast
enough Republican votes to elect Hon.
Alma Eldredge and Hon. Charles S.
Zane. re then talked tariff, and the
advantage this state had reaped from
the Dingley tariff on lead. The sheep
were trotted out, and the advance in
wool credited to the Republican party.
THE Democratic party" said Mr.. Can
non, has never kept its promises. -
Voices-Rats!
What promise has it kept?" asked
Mr. Cannon.
Voices-All of them.
Mr.. Cannon-It has never kept any
of its promises, and 1T never will keep
its promises in regard to silver. Pros
Derity could, would and should come
from the Republican party, and none
other.
EX-GOVERNOR THOMAS.
When Postmaster Thomas was in
troduced about one-third of the aud
fence got Up and left Before he got
through many more had sought the
moonlight without. Mr.. Thomas did
not bring out anything new He la
bored hard trying to show the Demo-
Gratis We're not sincere in their pledges.
AS Cor himself, he had been unable to
figure just where the Democratic party
stands.
JOHN HENRY SMITH.
John Henry Smith was introduced as
the father of ReDublicanism in Utah
He addressed himself to the ladies, re-
questing that they remember who gave
them the right to vote, and demanding
that they cast their votes for Eldredge
and Zane. If they did so all would be
well in Utah. Men out of employment,
sickness and disease would disappear.
He considered it treachery for Ameri-
cans to criticise the president and the
administration for the conduct of the
war. ReDublicanism,> he told the aud
fence, was developing picely through
out this state" and if Sdft-4ake City
people would only vote the ticket all
would he well. When Mr.. Smith fin
ished the small portion of the audience
left sang America" with ardor, and
retired.
