BIG MEETING AT BEAVER.
Judge Knox and D. o. Wiley Jr., the
Speakers.
Especial to the Herald.)

Especial to the Herald.)
Beaver, Utah, March 2S.-D. o. Will
ley, jr., of Salt Lake and Judge W. 2.
Knox Of Beaver were the speakers at
the Democratic rally held in the court
house tonight. They were greeted by
a large and representative audience.
This is the first occasion that Demo-
cratic speakers have been able to reach
Republican ears in Beaver during the
present campaign. Heretofore the Re
publlcans have called meetings on the
same evenings the Democrats have held
forth. OStensibly to keep their flock out
of the Democratic fold.
Judge Knox eXpOunded the principles
of Democracy in an hours speech. The
charges made by Republicans that the
speaker had deserted their ranks to
get into office were untrue. He deserted
that party in common with other prom
inent Republicans because he could
train with il no longer. as il had de-
serted the principles Of orthodox Re-
publicanism. The cry Of prosperity
heard from our Republican friends is a
delusion and snare. There is no pros
rerity except in the minds Of avar-
lciOus politicians.
D. o. Wiley. jr., in a clear. pointed
speech, showed up the Inconsistencies
Of the Republican party In its attitude
toward silver The Democracy was
willing to give the Republican party
Grover Cleveland in exchange for the
able Republicans of this state who
have shown their fidelity TO silver by
uniting with the Democracy. The bill
passed by congress establishing the
gold standard received the respects of
the speaker, and he closed with a
strong eulogy of Judge King and urged
all friends of silver 70 support him in
the coming election.
The Glee club and the Ladies' Demo-
cratic club rendered valuable aid with
choice selections in making the meet
ing a success.

This Fall.
Especial to The Herald.)

Cheyenne, Wyo., March 2S.-The
Democrats of Wyoming will make a
hard fight IN the presidential campaign
this fall to give the electoral vote of the
state to Bryan. Active work has al
ready commenced, and Democratic
clubs are being organized in all parts
OF the state. The Jeffersonian club of
cheyenne is setting the pace, and in a
lew days Secretary Young of this orr
ganization will leave for tour over the
state TO establish clubs in all of the
larger towns and give Instructions as to
the plan of campaign.
The Democrats are confident of vic
tory at the polls, and say the Republi-
cans will be defeated by a much larger
majority than four years ago. The
Republicans, while they have taken no
active steps in the campaign OF 1900.
are equally confident and do not look
upon the present activity Of the Demo-
Gratis with any fear.
