Fairbanks. At last he was compelled
TO request them to desist, but he did
so in a gentlemanly way, and there
were no more Interruptions
Speech Free From Abuse.
It must be said in favor of the gen
tiemdn from Indiana that his speech
was almost free from personal abuse
of Democratic candidates or Demo-
Gratis as Individuals. Rather he con-
fined himself to an exposition of the
Republican side of public questions as
he sees it, and it is probable that there

this campaign Of the doctrines for
which Republicanism stands
Senator Fairbanks made no allusion
whatever to the financial question
which President Mckinley insists is the
paramount issue Instead, he confined
himself to the tariff, the Spanish
American war. including what he call
ed the magnificent charge of Teddy
Roosevelt up San Juan HILL a defense
of the Porto Rican tariff and the ad-
ministration's policy in the Philip
pines.

Mrs. Foster Speaks.
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster also spoke last
night. So did Mr.. Holloway of Indi-
ana. What Mrs Foster said was more
amusing than important. Among other
things, she declared that she had two
sons who would vote the Republican
ticket this fall and from the deter
mined snap of her Jaw as she closed
the sentence, her auditors felt that the
boys might have TO leave their happv
home if they don't vote the way mama
wants them to-
Another amusing thing WAS Governor
Weils' reference to Mrs. Foster as a
brainy little" woman. She weighs $50
pounds if she weighs an ounce. and a
smile hickered over the hail at the ex-
ecutiVe'S description. He had evident
~ been looking at Mrs. Foster through
the big end of his opera glasses.
The Battery band, which in this in
stance was made up of six ex-battery-
men and number of musicians from
the Salt Palace band. came in for
liberal share of comment from the
speakers and applause from the audi
ence- The young men made good music
and deserved all the cOmmendation
they received.
Governor Wells Presides.
L H. CaIlister. chairman of the Re
pubhcan state committee, called the
gathering 10 order. and as briefly as
possible introduced Governor Wells as
