Especial to The Herald.1

If ORGAN, Oct. 50.-Judge William
M II. King addressed a very large
and exceedingly enthusiastic au-
dance here tonight. 1t was composed
OF Democratic and Republican voters
from two towns. Morgan and Croydon.
besides a large number of farmers.
who came in from the country TO listen
To the eX-congressman discuss the is
sues Of the day. As has been the case
every night since Judge King took the
stump in the wake Of Joseph Howell
his audience was larger than the one
which assembled last evening to hear
the Republican nominee.
BY the time the orator OF the evening
was introduced there was not a vacant
seat in the hall and many men were
compelled 10 stand. The audience. like
that at Kaysville last evening. was ex-
ceedingly attentive, giving the orator
undivided attention from beginning TO
end. Realizing that Morgan county is
always carried by a small majority, no
matter which way il goes, one and two
votes having elected more than one
candidate in times past, Judge King
made an extra effort 10 be most con-
Vincing. One at time he took up the
political issues Of the campaign. both
national and local, and disposed OF them
in ineffective manner that only a man
can who like Judge King has made the
political needs and requirements OF the
country almost a lifelong study.
Replies to Howell's Bombast.
His replies 10 the bombastie and
empty claims OF the Republicans were
fOrceful, clear and effective. Through

terrupted with hearty applause. show
ing that his arguments were not falling
upon barren ground. but were being
well received by the representative as
semblage. lnasmuch as the Republican
orators of the night before paid special
attention to the position OF their party
on the trust question and defended the
gold standard. the decentralization OF
silver and the resulting panic OF 1873
received consideration at the hands OF
Judge King. He was given a splendid
opening by the statement made last
night by Candidate Howell and en-
dOrsed by George Squires Of Salt Lake
to the effect that the trusts are tho
golden egg Of the Republican party and
the cause of our industrial prosperity.
He showed how the trusts are anything
but a golden egg for this country, and
are not the cause OF our industrial pros
perity.
A number of local candidates occupied
seats upon The platform and made short
addresses before Judge King WAS in
trOduced. The voting in this county
Is going 10 be very close. There is every
indication at this time that the Demo-
Gratis will hold their own. Already the
Republicans coucede the election of the
Democratic nominees for county treas
urer and clerk, but boast they viii
carry the head OF the ticket. including
the legislative ticket. Owing TO the
great amount of scratching that VIII be
done the Democrats claim the head and
middle OF the ticket by small majority
and the majority OF the county offces.
Both sides secured every nook and cor
ner of the county 70 secure a full regis
tration and viii be equally vNilant on
election day to see that every vote Is
cast.
