ABLE SPEECHES
BY DEMOCRATS
MOyle, King and HAYES
Speak at Eureka.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM
SHOWN BY AUDIENCE
Was Easily the Finest Rally of
the Campaign.

the
Democrats of Utah have lost none OF
their prestige which they gained last
spring when they gave Congressman
hing such magnificent majority.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
throughout the meeting. 1t was not of
the Republican brass band variety. but
was genuine, sincere and continuous.
1t was the kind that lives until after
the polls are closed down ana the votes
counted, and which then bursts forth
in spontaneous shouts for victory hon
estly obtained.
Judge Gear acted as chairman of the
evening, and the proceedings were in
terSperSed by songs by the Democratic.
Glee cub ana the Morley trio James
II. Moyle was the first speaker He
took up the claims of the Republicans
that their party il the best friend of
The miner because Of the tariff on lead
and he showed in a fOrcefuI manner
how absurd was their position
Mr. Moyle produced reliable statistics
10 prove that lead and wool combined
under the most favorable legislation
M0uld not equal one-quarter of the
value OF Otah's silver with the minis
or the country open to it's coinage
equally with gold. He ridiculed the
claim that Sutherland and other Repub-
lean leaders are for silver. and asked
how they could serve two masters,
namely, their platform and party ana
tbs silver forces.
Repeat Marks Words.
1.-THE Republicans say silver is dead, &"
SAID Mr.. Moyle, because they wish in
their hearts it was dead, and because
Mark Hanna told them to say so out
here in The west. How strongly dis
cordant are the claims of the Repub-
ucan leaders, Mark Hanna, Roosevelt
ana others in the east. They say that
II Bryan is elected Wen have free coin
age of silver in about two years, but
me republican patriots in the west say
silver is dead.
There is not Republican in Eureka,
venture TO assert, who would not
have rejoiced had his party declared
-or silver, and yet many of them, like
4 nerd OF sheep. seem ready to follow
then Dell Wether to the destruction OF
the silver mining industry"
The speaker Hkened all such to the
old farmer whom he met in southern
Titan, who, after saying he did not know
where the money to pay his taxes was
coming from, said ne feared the free
coinage of silver would put too much
money in circulation.
A Simple=Iinded Republican.
Mr. Moyle then contrasted the fears
OF this supplemented Republican
whose prosperity was so great that he
couldn pay his taxes, with John d.
Rockefeller ana his income of S5S 600
per day. and whose only fear seemed
10 be that he wouldn't live long enough
speaker explained in detail the infa-
nous deal whereby the present admin

then, to complete the infamy, returned
the checks TO the ban as a deposit
tne presidents plain duty" sOmer-
Sdult was taken up and handled with
out gloves, showing Mckinley to be d
mere puppet in the hands of the money
Sharks of the country. The speaker
quoted literally from the files OF the
Tribune. showing its position prior to
the time its owner met Mark Hanna
and became "his'n. He showed how
completed it had surrendered to all the
influences ii once denounced as being
more dangerous to the welfare of the
people than all the armies and navies
that ever existed.
He took up the Philippine question
ana showed how Governor Wells had
expressed the sentiment of the Demo-
cratic party rs his own in speech at
Logan. but explained that the governor
was then expressing his personal opin-
ion. while now he had swallowed the
bitter pill OF Imperialism az the behest
OF MS party The next governor made
a profound impression ON mis- listeners
as being a man whose sympa HES are
ana always have been with the labor
ing men.
A Witty Speech.
II n Hayes, candidate for state au-
diror then made a short DUt witty
speech. which kent the audience
laughing and apDlauding during the
entire time ne occupied the floor. He
Listened the Republican platform to the
boys definition of salt. The boy said
salt was the stun which mai potatoes
taste So funny when YOU don't pa; anV
of IL in them He said the Republican
platform tastes funny because o. the
declaration for free silver which it does
not contain.
Congressman King was the next
speaker. He looked tired and MS voice
bore evidence OF overWOrk. He was
greeted With deafeninE cheers as he
advanced toward the center OF the
stage and began one of his telling and
foTceful arguments for Democracy Al
though Judge King bad previously
promised himself that ne would ina Ike
no speech and had urged the previous
SPEAKERS 10 occupy an % the time. he
delivered one Of the most interesting
and effective speeches imaginable and
raised his audience to a pitch of en-
thusiasm seldom seen in Eureka.
Every available seat in the house
was filed when JuGge King took his
seat. The large crowd still filed the
aisles and the outer .EalI. The speaker
devoted most of his time to answering
the siepubican charges that the Demo-
Gratis Of congress opposed the proposed
amendment to the constitution to sup
press the trusts he said they Cp-
posed the amendment because abe gov
eriment already had the power to sup
press the trusts.
Judge King declared the Republicans
oniy offered the amendment TO put the
Democrats in a hole by forcing them to
admit that the government is power
less 10 handle the trusts He said the
measure would have prolonged the life
of the trusts and would have subjected
every labor union to federal pE0secu-
ton with no object in view but to
strengthen the trusts. He told how
the Democrats proposed several bills.
any one of which would have crushed
all the trusts within less than two
years All Of these measures We're
o supported by all the Democrats and
opposed by all the Republicans in con-
gress.
