DESERET. Utah. Oct. 2f-In the days
OF Nero all roads led 10 Rome. In
this section of MiIlarG county this
evening all roads led TO Deseret, where
Judge William II. King Major Richard
W. Young and Bishop George A. Seaman
addressed a most enthusiastic meeting.
Although a severe storm swept over this
part of the county late this afternoon
making the roads hard 10 travel, and
lowering the temperature considerably
Pettys hall was crowded when the meet
ing was called 10 order.
The same condition of affairs existed
at Deseret as has existed throughout the
southern tour OF the Democratic nominees
the hall was not large enough 10 COM
fortabiy accommodate those who wished
TO hear the speakers. IL was as at MI.
Pleasant. Fillmore and other cities-had
the halls been larger the attendance
would have been larger. The enthusiasm
manifested at all places reminded one OF
the old quotation. Il came. / saw, / con-

and Major Young. They have made I'M
told numbers of votes wherever they
have gone. Not only have they clearly
and intelligently answered the arguments
advocated by the Republican orators, but
they have advanced some which the lat
ter have not attempted to answer.

the present aspect in this section Of the
state, and extending down to Dixie, the
Democrats will not only roll up big ma

viii send true and stanch Democrats 10
the legislature and elect county tickets in
counties which the Republicans had ex-
pected TO carry.
Dirty Republican Campaign
In this county the Republicans have lost
ground during the past month by their
method of campaigning. They are not
content with arguing the issues OF the
campaign. bur have stopped 10 muo
singing and circulating falsehoocs IN
hopes of stemming the tide against them.
Postmaster Frank Z. Hansen OF Fillmore
was credited with circulating the story
that Judge Powers had made the asser-
ton that he would not vote for Major
Young. Another was that Bishop sea
man. the Democratic nominee Tor the
legislature. favored removing the scalp
bounty. They are but two samples OF
the absolute falsehOOds which the Re-
publicans are circulating in this county.
C. w. Watts of KanOsh, the Republican
nominee for the legislature, N his en-
deavors to injure the campaign OF Bishop
Seaman, under the guise Of going 20
Salt Lake TO attend conference, went
there for the purpose of getting some m
formation concerning the latter war
record which he might use against him.
The bishop WAS a second Lieutenant 81

comrade who fought with him in the
Philippines: 4 take the liberty OF writ
