to say to you that this is one of tho grandest conventions ever held in the territory of Utah It is composed of Democrats those Democrats who are not afraid to come out and vote tho Democratic ticket There is another class of alleged Democrats but they are not recognized Applause I they want to be Democrats they must como out through the door of Democracy and proclaim themselves as such The Democracy we see here today is not that Democracy that is backed by a LiberalRepublican paper Loud applause ap-plause I like to be Democrat because the Dem DemUi nnn n oHnoD n n nunmnnt iui uurauu S in UCCUI pan uenoves II a nuvbruuueui the people and because it believes in the functions of pure government This is one of the proudest days of my life I sin glad to see you here in such large numbers In concluding his remarks Mr Evans said he had understood there was a Democrat Demo-crat hero that he wanted to bear he had never met him but he wanted to hear him He understood ne was a Democrat and a good one I take pleasure concluded I Mr Evans in naming MR HOSE3 THATCHER tSRS The uproarious shout that went up at the unexpected mention of this name reverberated re-verberated through the corridors rolled out upon the street and startled passersby passers-by There was sudden rush for the interior in-terior and in two minutes the whole place was packed The din lasted fully half a minute and when in the body of the Cache delegation the form of Mr batcher was seen slowly to rise and the gentleman with a firm step picked nfs way to the stage the whole convention arose with enthusiasm Mr Norrell took Mr Thatchers arm and leading him to the front gracefully pro sented him to the audience Then the stupendous stu-pendous cheering went up again and for a moment Mr Thatcher could donothing but stand in silence and wait for the storm of enthusiasm to spend itself I died away at last and in firm measured tones tho speaker addressed the convention conventon The speech delivered in the impressive and eloquent manner characteristic of the orator was broken up and punctured with roars and bursts of applause The refer nnrn tn TnfTnrsnn was pnthnsiastipnllu nn plauded at n tho reference to sugar bounties I and the picture he drew of the poverty striken classes taxed for the bounty the enthusiasm broke beyond bounds the silver sil-ver utterances were loudly cheered Some one called out What about tho force billl and the speaker retorted instantly in-stantly The Force bill is simply too infamous tC mention at which pandemonium pandemo-nium broke ioose again When Mr Thatcher sat down the applause kept right up without a break for another half minute min-ute uteThe length of Mr Thatchers speech and tho late hour at which it is received compel a reluctant
