! ject1OnS would be advanced, that Mr.
Tanner could terminate his pair by
voting on any ballot. Senator Tanner
refrained from voting until the Tooth
ballot, when he announced that in the
light Of recent events, referring tc
Representative Jackson's persistent
| efforts to secure a dissolution of the
assembly. he deemed it his duty to
vote.
Representatives Fisher and Stewart
who voted for Colonel Richard w.
Young on Wednesday,, came back to
the support of Judge King.
There were no other changes during
the four ballots taken.
MRS. HoRNE'S VIEWS.
During. the progress of the ninety
seventh ballot Representative Horne
arose to say:
Il venture to say a few words this
morning. L do not rejoice as did a
representative from this county yester-
day in this house, that odium is being
cast upon this legislature for the long
continuance of this contest. L am
sorry for it. l do not rejoice because
/ know that the minority of the DEM
ocratic majority in this assembly are
today the object of this odium. l am
sorry that this is true. And 1 would
still less rejoice if I thought, as
understood the gentleman from Salt
Lake to infer, that three-fourths of
the Democratic members of this body
were now mourning such odium as
would defeat or destroy our party.
am not willing to yield to the unreas-
enable demands Of men, be they DEM
ocrats or avowed Republicans, who
appear to exult at what they foolishly
say is the prospect of great disaster
to the Democratic party. The ma
jority, Mr.. President, should not yield
to the small minority. If we should
break up now and leave our candidate
think of another thirty days struggle
before US! And who can say that we
would be more harmonious or more
pleased at the end of another thirty
days than we now are? l appeal TO
the minority of our side of the house
to be reasonable. We have the inter
ests Of this state, and of our party as
much at heart as you can possibly
have.
You know, whatever some of your
words might be taken to imply, that
we are not voting for money, nor for
the sake of money. Mr.. President, and
members of the assembly, 1 ask leave
to engage your attention in eXplana-
ton of the vote l am about to cast.
[ have come to this decision, that the
election of Hon. A. w. McCune will.
be the best for all the varied interests
of this state, best for its material re-
sources and industries; best for the
work this nation has now on hand in
congress, best for the good feeling of
the people of Utah as a whole, irres-
pective of creed, party or color; 1 wish
to tell you why. Mr.. McCune is an
upright, strong, clear-headed, brainy,
and successful man of affairs; he has
made a success of everything that he
has undertaken, whatsoever his hand
has found to do he has done with his
might and has done well. 1 would take
Mr.. McCune's judgment, on all the
great questions that are now agitating
the attention of congress as quickly
as 1 would take that Of any other
man in this state. The construction
of the Nicaragua canal, and of coast
defenSeS, the internal and external
commerce of the United States, the
of railways, the questions
of irrigation, mining and agriculture,
the creation of banks, the issuance of
bonds, and all such questions Who,
ask you, is more competent to decide
upon these matters on a large scale,
than the man who has already for
years been deciding and acting upon
these very affairs on a smaller scale?
His election would offend none but a
few perhaps oVer-zealouS friends of
some of the other candidates. Before
the voting for United States senator
had gone on long, 1 had thoroughly in
vestigated the claims of all candidates
for this great responsibility, before the
Democrats of this house and while
recognize the great worth and ability
Of each of these candidates, feel GER
tain today that the election of Mr. A
". McCune will be for the best inter
9StS of the people of this state. He is diff
ferent from the other candidates, they
are like the two we already have. This
man has the broadcast preparation and
fills the place they do not, and cannot
fill. He has had actual and practical
experience in fields that the others
have not. They would speak; he would
act. They could draw a contract, but |
ne could decide upon its validity and
value. They could write; he could in
spect war vessels, and coast defenses, |
could gTapple with the proposition of !
an army, could compre- !
lend the details necessary for the |
proper fitting out of soldiers for daily ]
ife marches, and long sea voyages.
Gould give valuable opinions on such |
questions as value of soils, reservoirs |
or irrigation and retaining of arid |
ands, mines and mining, and other |
questions the solution of which will |
'esult in added wealth and credit to |
)ur state. 1t is good to have eloquence |
n oratory but it is better to have |
practical ability to wrestle with the |
,reat questions which mean so much |
o us now. Secretary Alger may in
Iced write brilliant articles, but he has !
to our entire satisfaction
hat he can not provision an army. I |
ell you my friends, we need some of |
IcCune'S genius in congress today,
md I ask you, the minority of the
Democratic majority, to come now.
With us, your friends, and help elect
\. w. McCune, and put an end to this
Ong continued contest. I vote, Mr..
President, for the Hon. A w. McCune.r
