In opening his address, Mr.. Lippman
said that during the past ten days they

and be had come to Bingham Canyon

Speaks of Sutherland.
Mr.. Lippman said that Senator Suth-

that the American party is right. The
American party tries to rob no man or
woman of what he OF she possesses under
the constitution or the laws OF the gov

fear the American party if he obeys
the law. No man need fear that his

the lawbresker and the trensgressor who
fear the American party.

destinies of Utah in his pocket.
He arraigned the Mormon hierarchy
because it would not meet the issues
made by the American party. He
charged them with broken pledges in
