dOODIhd'S ADDRESS !
The Goyefna Opens His Bampaien IN this
Gty--faa Attendance.

the advice OF The Recorder aud were
In evidence. In fact we should Judge |
there were as many democrats pres |
ent as there were republicans. From
what we had heard of Governor
Gooding We we're most agreeably dis
appointed as to his appearance.
While he Is not an orator in the gen.
eral acceptance or the term, yet he is
a plain everyday speaker.
The governor arrived here Sunday
noon, but as he had failed To notify
the faithful here that he would be In
that day there was no one 10 meet
him nor had any arrangements been
made for his entertainment. He
tirst went TO the Lemhi Hotel, which
being fun he was obliged To pack his
own grips to the Shenon House
where he found quarters. lie was
indisposed during his stay here, aud
was forced TO send out for medicine
the same night he arrived and was
In bad condition to make his address.
The meeting was called TO order by
County Chairman Mcpherson, VINO
made few complimentary remarks
concerning the governor in his in
PRODUCTION. A number OF ladies and
gentlemen had been secured to fur
nisL few vocal selections.
The governor started his address by
eulogizing Senator Shoup, stating
that it was great pleasure to him
to be able to open the campaign ut
the home OF the deceased senator.
His address did not last more thar
twenty minutes, and the effort
seemed To effect him TO such an ex.
tent that there was no apparent re.
grets when he took his chair.
Most OF the short address was TAX
en- up In eulogizing his administra-
tion and telling what wonderful
things had been accomplished. To
hear him tell what had been done
and what revenues had been secured
from the various Offices under his
control one would be tempted TO be-
lieye. did he not know better, that
the government had been self-sup-
porting. In this connection, how
ever, after hearing his statements
and claims, the thought will arise II
this Is true, why has II been neces-
sary to raise the state taxes under
his administration from 81 cents,
which 1t was under Hunts admins
tration to II cents under the presen /
administration, or raise or a differ.
ence OF % cents on the dollar. OF
course, we are willing 10 confess our
ignorance why this Is the case, but
possibly the editor of the other paper
can make IL plain to our mind as he
seems TO have faculty In this direc-
tion.
Governor Cooling stated that the
party had carried out every pledge
the party had made two years ago.
The state department had receipts
for every dollar paid out and all goods

tive system. Why he should have
made this statement we are not In
a position TO say, as we did not kno"
that there had ever been any charge
made OF boodling He devoted some
Attention to the sheep interests In
Fremont county, but why this mat
ter should be brought up we are not
in position TO say.
The Mormon question was treated
| very gingerly by the governor. He
seemed TO be very DESTROYS OF I'm
pressing the fact upon the minds Of
his hearers that he was not the can
didate OF the Mormon people nor did
they have any influence in his cleo
ton. lie did not state whether hc
Expected them to vote for him or not,
but presume he thought that 1t vas
generally understood that they would.
He closed his remarks by eulogizlng
Congressman French and Senator
Hepburn; aud also by throwing q
few bouquets at Borah.
We have no desire TO impugn the
word OF Governor Gooding, but there
is evidently mistake somewhere In
his reference to the Moyer-Hay wood
affair. II has been stated time and
time again In interviews, by the
governor that the department bad
sufficient evidence to hang all OF
these men, yet In bis speech In refer
ence to this noted case he distinct !
stated that he had never said they
were guilty. There must be a screw
loose somewbeTe. In referring Is
this case he said they had been treat
ed fairly In being brought to this
state. and by requisition upon tie
governor Of Colorado. lie fefute:
this statement when lie said that
they were arrested about 10 O'Clock
az night and brought away on d
special train at e'c.ock the mex
morning. II is plain to every mar
that neither Meyer nor Haywood ha'
any opportunity TO see lawyer or q
demand the protection Of the court
bciure they acre taken from C,lo
radn. We say this upon the asser
tioa Oi Governor GoodiBg himself
when ne states the lapse Of time Ia
