BY D. c. Dunbar.

II all the Republican enthusiasm that
was let off at the Fairbanks, the fIoose-
veir and the Fitch MEETINGS could be
brought together at one time and all
exploded ~ one volIey it would have
been totally lost in the grand outbursts
of Democratic cheers that opened and
closed the rally in the Theatre last
evening. Judge Powers was at his best
ana never did fortune so favor a
speaker. The hest that was in that
Ncstor Of Utah Democracy was brought
ont by the incidents of the even
ing: National Committeeman Dunbar
set forth some facts and figures that
viii keep the enemy chewing until the
fight is over, and the singing by the
glce clubs was most enjoyable.
The crowd was great. Soon after the
doors of the hall We're thrown OpSn in
the evening every seat was taken. Be
fore the speaking began every inch of
standing room WAS taken, and enthu-
siastiC Democrats had climbed into
every available spot in the three gal
IorIes. Then the scenery on the stage
was showed back 20 make room for
many more, and still the crowd could
not be accommodated. and all this on a
rainy and threatening night. Ii was a
magnificent demonstration. ere that
could never have been made if the
hearts of the people had not been in
the cause.
Speech By D. C. Dunbar.
The meeting was very prompt III get
ting started, which in itself is highly
commendable. Held's band opened the
programme with patriotic medley.
which stirred up the enthusiasm OF the
vast audience, and some of the more
familiar airs. such as 1.-The Star Span
EIed Banner and Dixie" were wildly
Cheered.
Judge John w. Burton presided over
the meeting, and without any opening
speech in reduced the jefferson GIee
club. composed of George and Alma
TiUpson W. Bywater AM w Brown
The boys were warmly greeted, and
after they had sung The Cup I
R2nded Bryan by the Lake. they were
recalled with a storm of applause For
an encore they sang Bryan is March
ing on which was also cheered.
David @. Dunbar was then presented
by the chairman and was heartily re-
ceiyed by the audience. In the course
OF his introductory remarks Mr.. Dun
bar said that he would not indulge in
personalities. The people Of UtaH- he
said. always weighed every proposition
on its merits. and personal abuse had
no influence with them in reaching
conclusions.
The speaker then proceeded to take
a very hard fall out of George Suther-
land, than whom, he said, there IS no
nice" gentleman in Utah. Mr. Suth-
erland had said the evening before that
ne was not supporting Bryan, because
the Democratic party. had not remained
true TO silver.
Mr.. Sutherland Criticised.
Now" said Mr.. Dunbar, IF my
memory serves me. Mr.. Sutherland was /
one of the Utah delegates to the Re
publican national convention at PhIla- /
uelpnla that met one month before the /
democratic convention met in Kansas |
city. In the Republican national con-
Nention Mr.. sutherland was a member /
ul the committee on resolutions that i
framed the goldbug platform for his 4
party and all this was done before he /
't any other man could tell what pO- /
S.,-'h the Democrats would take on /
silver or any other question"
ihlS exposure caught the crowd and /
there were loud cheers and laughter at 4
me expense of the Republican Candi- /
uate for congress. The speaker then
looh up the statement that the silver
i.duN Won IN the committee on reso- /
!ulon~ of the Kansas City convention
by Just one vote. On that committee
AIT. dunbar said, there were not six
men VINO We're opposed to silver. and /
tAe only question that arose was as |
70 "nether specific declaration should /
Lt made again for silver or whether the
NL-ldEo platform should be reaffirmed
me statement was taken up that
bryan had abandoned the silver issue
l'T large sum OF money paid to the
-"''L.u committee. This was de
l'-Aesd as base falsehoOd. and the
story vas told again Of how the Demo-
I.dNc leader refused TO be the candi-
,ate ol the Kansas City convention tln-
.,@S specific declaration was made
FOR silver
The Republicans should get togetb-
