The chairman briefly welcomed the delegates to the convention and Introduced the temporary organization aa follows: Chairman Hon. diaries C. Richards. Secretary John E. Trimble. Upon assuming chnrge of the convention Mr. Richards made a straight Democratic speech in which he severely arraigned the Republican party for Its maladministration of the affairs of the nation. In the course of hia address he said that he believed that for many years there haa never been a more auspicious outlook for the Democratic party than there is today.

After selecting your men stand behind the ticket and work for it for there never was a brighter outlook for success in Weber county than there Is today. After referring to the divisions in the Republican party he called attention to the county ticket nominated by them on Saturday and characterThe ised it as a "Kearns ticket. plank In their platform calling for additional ktwa In the Interest of the tolling masses was ludicrous, he said, coming from such a source, aa was also that referring to the union of church and state. Turning his attention to national Rffalrs Mr. Richards, In no uncertain terms, condemned the administration for reckless expenditure of public of monies. In the administration President Cleveland, he said, 323,000,-00- 0 waa expended per annum for the while this year President army, 377,000,000.

This year $15j,000,000 will be expended on the army and navy by Roosevelt as against 153.000.000 by Cleveland. "And, added Mr. Richards, "this Republican administration has appropriated $5,902,000 for agriFrom 1897 to this year the culture. Republicans have expended one billion two hundred millions for war. Germany, Great Britain and France, all military nations and monarchies, did not expend such a aum aa that and only Russia, the speaker claimed, waa taxed to the extent that free Americana are taxed, and 40 per cent of the amount collected la expended by the Republican administration for war purposes. He charged that the only people who were benefited by this enormous were contractors and expenditure subsidized enterprises. He referred to the absurd claim made by Republicans aa to their being the cause of all the prosperity and said that the wheat and corn growing which In the fields the prosperity comes from the God of Heaven Is attributed to Theodore Roosevelt and the Republicans.

We invite the cordial assistance towards securing their election of every person In Weber county who believes In constitutional government In the United States and who desires peace In our own state.

In fact, at both sessions of the legislature since held, hurled in committee bills Introduced for the purposes ttbove named. We invite the serious consideration of the people of this county to the fact that so fur the --date of Utah has received no benefit from the law Introduced in congress by a Democrat and passed by Democratic votes against the npiiositlon of the great majority of the Republican members, though fortunately signed by a Republican president, whereby the west shall receive federal aid In the development of its arid lands, while In nil the Hdjacent states large enterprises are already under way a condition resulting, without doubt, from the contentions, strife and discord existing between the two Republican senators of this state, who, agreeing In nothing, neglect the welfare of the whole people. We pledge the Democratic party of Weber county to an economical administration of the affairs of the county, ever holding that a public office is a public trust.
