Nephi. Oct. 13.-The opening of the cam

were present besides the two speakers.

he expressed his ideas on the main issues
Of the day.
Mr.. johnson was then introduced and in
a clear, concise and logical manner dis
cusSed the silver question and gave a brief
sketch of the attitude of the Republican
party on the living issues. He called the
attention OF the people especially to the
writings and speeches of Governor Wells
and George Sutherland on the silver is
sue in 1886 and now. He said They may
be excused for changing as they were up
for Office and had to take heed of the
voice that came from their boss, but the
voter had no such excuse
When Mr.. Harris was introduced round
after round of applause went up. He be-
gan by stating that as both champions
OF the two great parties were above re-
prOach as citizens, he would only discuss
their relative merits as to the platform on
which they stood He then explained The
cause, growth and effect of trusts during
the past four years and also clearly point
ed out the remedy and the stand that the
Democratic party is taking. He brought
the arguments down so closely 10 every
day life that even the schoolboy could
see the disastrous effects on the farmer
He pointed cut the shifting attitude of
President Mckinley on the Porto Rico
tariff bill and said he was like clay in the
hands of the potter, Mark Hanna.

CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED
CHIN PoY TO BE TRIED BEFORE
JUSTICE KRoEGER.
Application of L. b Rogers For pe-
Tense In Justice Nielsen's Court
Chinaman Arraigned For Murder.

When the case of the Chinaman Chin
Poy, who is charged with the murder
of Charles H. Holmes, was called in
Judge Nelson's court yesterday consid-
cradle surprise was caused by a mo-
ton for a change of venue, made by
Attorney Lindsay Rogers for the de-
tense The application was entirely IN
expected by both the court and Assist
ant County Attorney Gunter, but II
was granted without resistance The
Chlnaman was arraigned, however, on
charge of murder in the first degree
and entered a plea of not guilty. At
torney Rogers then started 20 make an
argument in behalf Of his motion for
a change of venue, but the judge in
as ne knew the law on the matter and
he would grant the change.
Mr.. Rogers desired TO make an ex-
planation though and proceeded to say
that so far as he personally was con-
cerned he was satisfied that his client
would receive as fair and impartial q
trial before his honor as any other jus
tIce, but the friends of his client
seemed to think otherwise, their rea-
son being that Judge Nielsen is a resi-
dent in the vicinity where the shooting
occurred and had personal acquaint-
ance with the deceased.
The affidavit for the change of venue
was then presented to the court and
the question of which court the case
should be taken to was discussed. Mr..
Rogers favored taking it before Judge
TimmOny, but County Attorney Gunter
objected. TWAS finally decided to take
it before Judge KrOeger and the time
for hearing was set for next Thursday
morning at 10 O'Clock

(SneciaI Correspondence.)

Especial Correspondence.)
Castlegate, Oct. 13.-The largest po-
HticaI rally yet held at this place dur
ing the present campaign was held last
nis;ht under the auspices of the Bryan
and Stevenson club, which was recently
organized. The first speaker of the
evening was c. NJ. Worth the Demo-
cratic candidate for county clerk and
recorder. For one hour Mr. Worth held
the large crowd spellbound by his log
ical dissection of the Republican polit-
zeal cadaver, and proved conclusively
to the minds of those present that while
he was not only a proficient and capa-
bic officer, he was at the same time per-
fectly informed upon the pending is
sues of the present campaign and capa-
bic Of placing them plainly and con-
Vincingly to an audience.
The next speaker to be introduced
was Senator D. Q. Rideout of Salt Lake
county, who was received with cheers
and who proceeded in his most clever
manner to untangle the mysteries OF
the Republican financial policy in such
a manner that all present We're unani-
nous in the opinion that the speaker
was posted upon that subject and was
capable and did convince those present
that the statements made upon a for
mer occasion by Republican cam
paign orator were susceptible to consid-
cradle modification. He also showed
UP the tendencies tending to the de-
struction of our republican form of
government and substituting therefor
a monarchy The senator speaks to-

MYSTERY OF MILLIONAIRE
Rich Patient Disappears From an In
sane Asylum.

sane Asylum.
New York, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris
says:
Moses Fowler Chase, the young mil
Iionaire of Lafayette, Ind, has disap-
peared from a private insane asylum
near Paris, where he had been placed
recently by his aunt, Mrs. Duhme OF
Cincinnati. The family dispute over
the young mans sanity has arisen
again and will probably go to the
courts.
Detective Sutherland Of Chicago has
arrived in Paris. He was sent by the
Chase family in Lafayette. The de-
tective found the boy in q private asy-
lum. While taking proper steps to re-
move the boy the latter suddenly dis
appeared. The keepers of the asylum
said Chase had gone, but they did not
know where No trace Of him has been
found, and there are diverse theories as
to his disappearance Whether he has
wandered off himself or been spirited
away can only be conjectured.
