Democrats were selfish in wanting to
] send another Damocrat to congress, for
( they had two there already. He voted
for George Q. Cannon
O'NEIL FOR DEMOCRACY.
Representative O'Neil urged his fell
low Democrats to stand by their guns
as follows:
Il Go not rise at this time to advo-
cate the election of any one but a
Democrat, and believe that Democra-
cy is the political faith of the masses.
and | do not believe in jeopardizing at
this present time the interests of the
masses, of the people of this state by
the election of any Republican, regard
less of his religious faith 1t seems to
me that this is the time that Democrats
should get together to eject Demo-
crat. This state is not bound to any
one man Rome is not so small that
there is only one man in Rome. Let
us elect man who believes in the
restoration of silver at 16 to /; that is
the position that l stand upon, and
that the man 1 vote for stands for and
so | vote for McCune."
PARRY'S TRIBUTE TO M'CUNE.
Representative Parry said that he
still felt bound to stand by A. w. Nc
Cune and he paid Mr.. McCune the fol-
lowing tribute:
II only desire to occupy a very few
moments in explaining why l changed
by vote from William II. King to A.
w. McCune. 1 now state some of the
reasons why l felt and still feel bound
to support this man. This is one of the
most peculiar combinations that has
ever been. / was a little surprised in
listening to the gentleman changing his
vote. To me it is one of the most pc
culiar movements have yet seen. The
more l investigate this matter, the lon
ger propose to stay by the man have
chosen. l want to state to you that l
was expected to support very superior
man. Judge King. My county wanted
me to support him right along, but I
received a letter yesterday from my
county stating that / was right in vot-
ing for McCune, that L knew better
than they. No man can conceive me of
the matters that have been working
long in the undercurrent, but l say that
if we go to work and dig and investigate,
we will be convinced that there has
been a foul conspiracy. l appreciate
the man named here, / do not think
there is an ADLER man in the state of
Utah. but 1 want to say to you that 1
cannot, for the sake of Democracy, for
the sake of the state of Utah, 1 can
not abandon this man at this crisis
when he will be turned over to be a
laughing-stock and an object of scorn,
and I want to state to you that l will
stand by A. w. McCune as long as
have reason and conscience.
Here Representative Cummings rose |
to question of personal privilege, say !
ing that by changing his vote he hoped |
he would not be understood to be cast
ing any reflections on A. W. McCune |
He had plodded through all the evidence |
before the Investigating committee and |
ne was firmly convinced that Mr. Nc |
Cune was not guilty.

WEIGH EXCITES LAUGHTER.
Representative Welch caused a gale
# laughter and applause by his speech,
which follows:
1T is not my purpose to detain you
nut few moments. l am very glad to
,e here this morning, and l suppose
'efore we get through we will hear

hink that they done so, but because

IRS. HORNE'S SENSIBLE ADDRESS {
Mrs. Horne spoke very sensibly, urg- :
lg her fellow Democrats not to allow :
lie Republicans to lead them astray. =
he said:
Il feel somewhat alarmed when / 4,

the house deserving us. l am afraid =
lie Republicans are pulling the wool !
YER their ewes, and now the Republi- =
ms are getting the Democrats over q
vote for them, after they have re- y
lsed to come over to us. / think the
emocrats, when they are in the ma V
rlty' should elect Democrat. and not !
gold Republican. l believe church u
I'd state should not be united; I be-
ave the best politics are national poll u
cs, and / am not in favor of electing c
gold Republican, although I should $
le 10 make our Republican friends
Apply. L am afraid some of our mem a
rs are going, or rather, being led g
stray, and that they need the lady o
embers to act as shepherds and bring
em back to the fold lt
