men under consideration. / do not need
to name them. They are both Repub
licans, but they are neither Devine nor
Sutherland. neither Lannan nor Law
renee nor Goodwin nor Allen, nor any
of the men whom the Republicans used
to follow, for they have been relegated
to the rear.
Il have fond regard for them both
and reverence for their views. They
| have the same right TO hold their con-
scientious convictions that you and ]
have. But there are many people who
/ think too much of the splendid creeds
of both churches to drag them through
the highways and byways. that some
man may have a senatorship as a re-
ward for doing it.
Speaks With Plainness.
81 have spoken with some plainness.
perhaps. 1 intended to. I intended to
say to you that after all the struggles,
that after all that we have suffered
and all that we did achieve, it is a very
( poor ending / remember that the
/ Pioneer celebration here had as its
emblem buffalo head with two horns.
II those things should be accomplished,
Utah would pass from the head out of
/ the little end of both horns. 1t is a
good emblem. They were gigantic
days in Utah. were they not, when men,
no matter what their differences were.
| fought like heroes? And all that we
are having to do. is in the measure of
/ an evolution inspired by courage, aided
/ by wisdom and all supported by in
dividual conscience by both sides of the
old controversy. What has become of
! that splendid manhood and womanhood
/ that would not be dominated in the old
/ days? Is it to be dominated now? Let
me trace the plan to you.
! Two years ago an assistant secre-
tary of the national Republican party
4 came to Utah, and he brought a mes
sage with him. He stayed here long
/ enough to deliver &C. / 90 not recall
! that be made any public speeches, or
took any of you into his confidence,
but he delivered his message He
| electoral vote Of Utah, Idaho and Wyo-
ming. and as many more states as he
could get by coming to Utah.
! He diGn't even takes the pains to
visit the other STATS in the transac-
/ ton, and the electoral vote was deliv-
cred, and thereUpon there was entered
into contract by which one man has
already profite5. ~ which another man
| is to prOht next January unless you
prevent it, and 10 which there is to be
added, I suppose. the third senator,
so that the man wha came here to stay
may also profit by il in time.
Want Third Senator.
1T is around on West Temple. down
at the Tribune Office. that they want
the third senator from Utah. He came
here TO get the electoral vote of Utah.
and ne promised that if he got for the
Republican party the electoral vote of
/ Utah and surrounding states, that
/ there would not be passed, if the Re
publican party could prevent it, the
constitutional amendment, which was
then dreaded.
Ever since I can remember, some
body in Utah has been threatening
what the Republican party would do if
1t was not kept in power, and some
body has usually been suffering a little
from what it did do. Among other
declarations of independence that
made when 1 left the Republican party
was that 1 would not attempt TO CO.
cree any vote, or cajole any vote. but
would do all l could to prevent the CO.
ercion or cabling of votes in Utah
under the threats of the Republican
party in the United States.
There are great many in Utah who
nave suffered in the past, but / would
rather, if the AK is to fall, that il
would fall now than to hang forever
over the heads of the people Of Utah
Perhaps you viii think by this that ]
have some prejudice against the gen.
tleman who brought that famous mes
sage to Utah. Not at all. l admire
MS political scent. I have noticed thai
it is not the first time that some man
who thought he had u divine call tc
be a senator smelt Utah and came here
and located and wanted it, and wanted
it quick.
I'VE had Colonel Tv-.aho. He sat in
a box here the night of the Repub-
ican caucus, surrounded by his friends
waiting to have the word brought tC
him that he had been unanimously
elected, and by some strange circum-
stance they failed TO mention his name
We had Tom Fitch. He came here. went
through the state attacking everybody
saying that the only redemption fol
Utah was his election to the senate
and he was not mentioned 1 believe
and in order thas the third man shall
not be mentioned. / viii not allude tc
him by name now, except to say thai
ne is Perry S. Heath, editor of the
Tribune, late of Indiana"
Talk of Judas.
Mr.. Cannon then read a reprinted ex-
tract from a speech made by him in
the Theatre Sept. 2, 1888. in which he
criticised Grover Cleveland for iSsuina
bonds TO the value of 1000, co.,, and
compared the act 10 that Of Judas. He
quoted from his record in opposition te
bill introduced Immediately afterward
giving the president unlimited author
ity to issue bonds. he quoted IRON
the editorial and neWB columns of the
Tribune to show that he had led the
j fight which defeated the Republican
bond bill and substituted a free coin
age bill. Then he went on as follows
DO you remember how proud we
were about statehood when we got it:
Don't you remember how we went
/ through this state from end to end
from side to side, and how the people
\ reJolced that we were to have state
hood, and from every platform the
/ pledge was made that when Utah was
/ represented in the senate there would
l@be voice for the rights of the people.
You remember how we used to sing
that song,
There is a new star in the blue,
Our Utah,
/ 1t is shining there for you.
/ Our Utah.
/ DO you remember that we felt when
we could receive justice from the ma
ton we would give it to all men: hav-
ing received the love Of the nation we
would love all men?

partisan, and shall not be such tonight
