Republicans both local, state and ma

audience at a. high pitch of enthusiasm
throughout. Judge King said III part:

the Republicans and Democrats of
Utah We're vieing wi1h each other in
their devotion to silver. What has the

When a bill was introduced in the

silver seigniorage and give the people

Republican leader. said it was bum
corlbe. He said the cause of silver was
dead; that the gold standard, the
standard of the business world, was our
standard; that they intended to i'm
pound the greenbacks and take them
out of circulation; that they intended
to sell 81 ,000. 600, 600 in bonds as the basis
for the banking system of the country.
And when, later, Mr.. Bland offered
an amendment to a bill favoring the
free coinage of silver, every Republican
in the house voted against it and every
Democrat except two voted for 1t.

history on the common things of life.
They placed internal revenue taxes on
many things not taxed before, and yet,
in spite of all this there is a. deficit in
the treasury; and to pay the bills it
will be necessary to sell more bonds
or levy more taxes. And this is the
party that denounced the Cleveland
administration for issuing bonds! Elk
travagance and corruption are seen
everywhere. and in the whole record
there is not one ray of hope for the

Philippine Question.
Judge King then took up the Philip
pine question. 1.-THE Democrats in con-
gress," he said took the Republicans
by the scruff of the neck and showed
them into the war with Spain-a war
for humanity: but after they got in,
they seemed determined to gobble the
whole world. Since 1851 they had been
denouncing polygamy as the twin relic
of barbariSn, but now they are deter
mined to take to their boSoms the sui
tan of Sulu, with all his harems; the
Mohammedans, the Chinese, the Asia
tics of all kinds and colors. They want
the earth. They refused to act at all
in the war with Spain till they were
forced; now they argue that a special

Philippines, Up TO date our forces
have secured III square miles in the
Philippines and at this rate we will
have the whole island of Luzon in 500
years.
THE Republicans of Utah have been
on every side Of every question. Gov
ernor Wells two years ago was a. cham
pion of the cause Of silver and the
cause of the people, but at the recent
Saltair meeting he repented and came
out for Republicanisrn with all that
that implies.
In contrast with this, the Demo-
cratic party stands true to the people.
The Chicago platform will be reaffirmed
next year without SO much as the cross
ing of a, t. or the dotting of an i to
indicate a change. The Democrats. I'M
der that same gallant leader. william
j. Bryan, will fight the battle of the
people till victory is won. We want
no towards in our band; we want true
hearted men, not afraid to die. The
Democracy must take care of the leg
acy handed down to us by the found
ers of the republic. The Republican
party will perish because it contains
the same evils today that character
lied the Federalists in the beginning
it must fade away because truth will
triumph.
No Apologies to Make.
1.-THE Democrats have no apologies to
make. We have not changed front;
we are fighting now Just where we
fought two years ago for the cause of
