elevated to the presidency and vice presidency for the four years succeeding march match ath 1873 yet we can nay we must we can not resist the im pulse to meet together and express our sympathies we in the territories are said to be the wards of the general government ern ment and we look upon the presidential elections very much as it was said a young fellow of the culled persuasion on a steamboat on the mississippi sippi river once looked upon the question of who was his master this was in former times wb why n every southern gent gentleman leman ieman in traveling had bad his negro boy with him well a party of gentlemen sitting in the cabin of a mississippi steamer were playing that familiar game called poker laughter I 1 do not know that any of you understand this game perhaps you do evidently one gentleman in the crowd claims to understand it the game progressed into the night and so intent was each gentleman to gain the victory over his opponents that unnoticed the tile hours passed until daylight dawned upon them A fellow passenger who rose early in ia the morning wanted this 40 negro boy who wms was sitting on one hide bide to do some rome service for h m and he called boy come here tle tie boy excused himself saying he be could not come whose boy are you who is your master said the gentleman 1 I dont know whose boy I 1 is now last night about twelve I 1 belonged to colonel winsor ober dar pointing to a gentleman sitting on one side of the table about 3 I 1 belonged to dat long haired moan man ober dare but I 1 cant tell whose boy I 1 is until djs dib game Is ia played out so it is with us in the territories we dont exactly know whose wards we are until the game is played out cheers cheer we have been massa grants boys but before november is closed we expect to belong to somebody else cheers well the american nation presents to itself and to the world a spectacle which wab was never witnessed before in the history of parties men from one great political party coming out from the party with which they have acted fromi from its organization of which they were the fathers and declaring on their solemn oaths that that party having had control of this government for twelve years has become so corrupt so bad has stolen so much from the national treasury and is doing the country so little good in comparison with what it ought to do that they are ready for nay they demand and say there must he be a change applause the great democratic party responding to that demand have joined hands with these men and say for gods sake give us a change applause for if the country shall continue for four years longer under the administration of grant or rather of the men who occupy all t he the departments and offices of and under the govern Rovern government ment throughout the country we have serious fears tears that it will be next to impossible for the nation to extricate itself from the vortex into which it will be hurled my friends you know that many people throughout this country are terribly exercised about the democratic party and on this point the friends of grant are the most woefully exercised of all they fear that the democratic party is about to destroy i self and others have been telling us for a great many years that the democratic party was a dead party in response to that we say to them that if the great democratic party of the united states is dead and ready for burial it is the liveliest corpse they ever saw cheers cheers and to quiet their fears we bay say further to these theae gentlemen if the democracy can strike hands bands with the liberal republicans and go on to victory we can stand horace greeley if they can we are willing to try him some men are fearfully exercised because the democratic party did not pur sue the policy they wanted us and our friends to pursue at baltimore that was to nominate a separate and inde inae independent pendent ticket the reason they wanted us to do this was because they knew that would divide the forces and enable them to slip blip in to vioto victory ry again 0 now I 1 will tell you what the damo cracy are saying to horace Gre greeley elev you all know perhaps that some dozen years ago horace greeley took a trip across the Pl atins A great many of you saw him on his trip he had occasion to cross the sierra nevada mountains that was before the railroad was built and when horace got into the stage he had a good demo Damo democrat crat erat to drive him and he be drove so fast and furiously that what little hair holace had bad which usually bung down around his hib neck rose right up on end and his bis hat bat was lifted from his bis kead head head so that he had bad to heid held it on with both hands but his hla driver hank mon isaid hang on Horace keep your seat ald aud I 1 will put you through cheers Che ers ern well the great liberal republican Pub licau ilean party has put horace on the national stage coach and the democratic party haa has joined hands handa with it and they say every one of them like hank monk horace keep your seat and we will through cheers unfortunately as I 1 said before we have not a vote in this matter but we havo have our sympathies we say to our brothers in the east and to our brothers in the west god speed you we want a change we want victory with greeley and brown we are just juau in that unfortunate condition described by the irishman when he saw a machine picking into a sandbank and taking out tons of gravel as easy as be could a he wanted to know what that was told it was a paddy 11 A paddy by jabers sabers yes I 1 it is a steam paddy well bald baid sald the Iril Irishman halan halau it lt may be it a steam paddy and he can shovel gravel mighty well but he be cant vote laughter gentlemen there are a number dumber of your fellow citizens here who will address you we purpose tle hse only to make short speeches all we want is ia to let it go to the world that we here in utah republicans and democrats have joined hands as they have from cincinnati to baltimore and that thae we are for greeley and brown cheers in response to calls of hooper the following address was delivered by the honorable delegate to congress from this territory W II ff hooper k fellow citizens you have met to show your respect and admiration for no ordinary occasion it is less than a hundred years since a body of med megi inspired by the almighty assembled together to make a form of government and to prepare ft a written constitution under which might live free men those men working by inspiration gave to our fathers the form of government under which we live we worked under that form of government and travelled on with a magnitude and celerity to in wealth numbers and power greater than of any other government known to the world la in the course of that remarkable Inar kable kabie progress corruption and kindred evils that have characterized other republics were developed in ours we have passed on from decade to decade until corruption in the administration of our government has reached such a pitch as ai to rouse ronae the indignation of the people in every portion of the country and they begin to declare that it is no longer the peoples government in the east and the west in the north and tho the south our fellow citizens begin to discern that our legislators legislate for the rich only and that the poor mauls mans mann rights are disregarded but bat thank god things are transpiring which show th that at the faith in the masses which was fore shadowed in the creation of our government was not nob misplaced and that the element which crossed the atlantic and founded the colonies while facing the savage and combating the barren bairen waste was capable not only of founding a government but also of defending and conducting it the people have trusted too much to their leaders but I 1 say thank god I 1 believe the gime ume has come when they will take these thesa matteis into their own hands cheers A little over sixty years since the world gave birth to a boy of humble parentage obscure jil in all his connections barefooted as it were he started in the world with no capital but the intelligence that chat goddad god had bad given him with honesty of purpose and a fixed determination to win for himself a name he pressed forward and from being a humble printers boy perhaps the printers devilme devil he gradually worked his way up until today to day as a printer and as an editor eli tor he has few equals and certainly no superior on earth that peron perron is horace greeley cheers from humble life came forth that boy he aspired not to the position for which by the unsolicited nomination domination of his countrymen he

president in mr greeley we have tall toll the elements that are desirable in a president for this great republic his life fellow citi zens is without a blemish hi his hib integrity is unimpeachable his intelligence is ia CO conceded needed by all and he is before the american people for their frages suffrages suf to elect him to a position more exalted than any other on earth he stands before them not as the regal aristocrat not as aa one who has unsheathed his bis sword and waded to power through the misfortunes of others he is ia from the humbler walks of life and has carved out his own fortunes without the aid of wealthy friends or anything but hib bib own intelligence and aud the assistance of him who guides the destinies of al all ali I 1 we read of great men inen of learned doctors of the law and scientific men some of whom will devote their lives to the gathering up of insects or studying the habits and peculiarities of birds or snakes what use are such men to a country as practical as ours in horace greeley we have a man great in his simplicity in his honesty of pur hosein his practicability in his temperance sobriety economy industry and everything that adorns human nature and makes a man a bright sampler en to his fel cheers with such a man as candidate for our chief magistracy and with such pron promise ilbe lipe of his success as aa we see before us how hoy thankful we ought to be chaery Ch aers I 1 horace greeley is ia the poor mans I 1 friend and the friend of the oppressed I 1 and while he earnestly protested against the course pursued by our fel fei fe low luw citizens in the south yet when the foe foo was down he was the last man in faver of kicking him lower i but he be stretched forth the hand sa ying baying come back wayward brothers let

cheers for greeley and brown the assembly heartily responded to the proposition after which the martial band baud played ten tho thousand asand miles away in compliance with repeated calls calla the assemblage were next favored with the following from col ayiers allers fellow citizens citizen under ordinary circumstances curn cum stances atances I 1 would not attempt to utter one word at this meeting except to apologize for my inability to speak in the open air and to give my endorsements to the eminent candidates whose names you have all heard men tinned tonight to night I 1 say under ordinary circumstances having done abis ilia I 1 would not attempt to add one word but the circumstances by which we are now surrounded are not ordinary circumstances in fact during the past five years I 1 have hava firmly believed that the institutions of our country have been in greater peril paril than they were at tit any anytime time during the terrible war of the rebellion and as I 1 can only odly say a few words I 1 desire that these shall bhail be plain words and I 1 wish to express to you the grounds upon which the conviction I 1 have now uttered has rested the war of the rebellion was an open danger the conspirators who waged war against this thia republic made no concealment whatever of their purposes in fact for months before the first gun was fired on every stump throughout the south rn states the purpose of these conspirators wab was fully tully and fearlessly fearlee sly siy proclaimed and being thus hua advised or of the danger that threatened the country we were enabled to put ourselves in a position to avert that danger but bat the danger which has threatened this country during the past five years is one of an altogether different character it has been a concealed danger la in fact the very name which the party in power during the war assumed and which they have retained most of tiie tile time aiice alice ali air ce the war was it fraud and a cheat they declared them thena 1 belv a ta be the union party and while professing these principles since the war closed they have actually stamped out |
