RINGING SPEECHES BY
ORATORS or DEMOCRACY
King, Powers and Henderson Thrill Large Audience
In Theatre
Terrific ThruSS at the Party Of Gold and Glory, Of Trusts
and LOCALIZED RObbery-HannaiteS Arraigned.

Three Democrats made three great
speachss last night before an audience
which appreciated wit and argument.
Jrdre O. ". Powers, Judge H. p Hen
ders5n and Judge w. H. King held
large audience for hours at the Salt
Lake theatre. There were many Re
publiCaus there to listen.
The speakers were received with
much enthusiasm. When Judges Pow
ers AID Henderson and Candidate King
came upon the stage, there 'vas much
applause. HeId's band had aroused a
hich pitch of enthusiasm, and the
bandclapping with which Judge King
was received showed that he was in
deed a popular nominee.
Each one IF the speakers poured
some hot shot into the Republican po-
sIti0u. which they ask the Republican
orrau and candidate 10 answer They
maintained that the issue in this cam
paign is national and not local. that
the congressman who is elected must
vote upOn matters Of very great I'M
portance. which will affect all parts OF
The union alike They declared that
IIIIEIIIEN III kNN NA lAllAN'lAN ANNtAANA 81 -
declaration of independence and in the
constitution are not only questioned,
but are cast aside by bills before con-
Erass and by the administration.
No Local Issues.
Probably three speakers better
equipped to instruct and entertain an
audience could not be found in the
state Each one Of them denied with
great emphasis that any questions of
local concern had anything 10 do with
the matter.
Then they rdIculed the Republican
position and platform, or lack of plat
form. They asked that Mr.. Hammond
or the Republican organ declare what
was the platform. They offered TO give
time 20 any Republican IN the audience
vino would come forward and tell what
the Republican platform really meant.
Though there were present leading
lights of the Republican organization,
none Of them ventured 90 come forward
and tell what he thought the platform
meant.
Judge King tore a big hole in Gov
eruor Wells reputation for consistency
when ne compared the last message
Of Governor Wells with the Republi-
can platform. He showed that the
ernor. who wrote this in his message
under the head Of Free Coinage: IF
you shsu deem IL wisdom to remind
congress that our faith remains I'M
shaken i'm the beneficent effects TO fol-
low readoptiOn Of the money of the
constitution. I shall be pleased to sub
scribe to such a memorial That was
written on Jan. 10 last year, just four
teen months ago.
As Judge King proceeded rapidly and
el0que0tly in his argument, he aroused
the audience time and again 10 high
pitches of enthusiasm, and cheer after
cheer arose as he put home arguments
that We're bold and convincing.
Powers Causes Merriment.
Judge Powers caused much merri-
waat by declaring that the author Of
On. Republican platform must have
been suffering from blind staggers.
JH-E, Henderson ridiculed the Re
publican national platform of 1896, IN
de- which orators preached the single
gold standard To the people of New
England and free coinage of silver TO
she people Of the west. He said that
ther- was not today a state i'm the
Union where "A Republican convention
cou.a declare for free coinage. and
ttaH Republicans who had been lead
trs once in the silver movement, had
eeclarei for the gold standard
