By the silver policy which is advocated by the Liberals we gain $S.ooo,ooo in silver and ao per cent, increase in lead which would amount to $ 100,000 as lead acts with silver. We would take caie of the water a source of wealth for Utah. It represents m re grain, more hay, and o'hersotirces of wealth. It is a poor argument that will pull down an oppoent instead of advancing argument lor himself. Compared the two candidates bv saying what Caine had done lor Utah.

After Judge Powers speech the "pilgrims" "pil-grims" were drawn up 111 line in front the Libetal head quartets, and Judge Powers and the chairman of the Liberal Liber-al County Committee, Wm.

Af.ei this the visitors left for Moroni, and thus terminated the greatest day the Liberal Party ol San Pete county have exeprienc ed. Hynopsit. Was called for, and advanced on the platform and said: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen. gentle-men. I came here to make your acquaintance, ac-quaintance, and thus draw nearer together. to-gether. The Liberal party has been des-scribed des-scribed as no good, that they came here only for plunder. When we came here the Saints had their farms and the water, and how much was that. In order to increase their wealth they had to storm the cliffs, and up to date the mines have yield ed $100,000,000 to 120,000,000. The miners have brought your products, pro-ducts, your grain, and you have got more for it. Thus far the Liberals have not been robbers. The $20 of the Gentile is just as good as the Mormons. The Mormons have received from the Gentiles In Utah from $40,000, 000 to 60,000,000 how much have the Liberals received from the Saints? Are you in the habit of seeing the Saints hire Gentiles, not much; what the Gentiles have got they have wrtnehed from the hills. Why can we not reach a common standpoint and reason? There are only a few little characteristics that make the difference with us. From the start the Mormons held that it was right fsr the priest to dictate dic-tate to thi people in temporal, and especilly in political matters. If the political grounds had been taken the same as Mr. Iliff aLWould be all right, but they are different. To receive instructions by revelations in politial matters it makes trouble. Jf the nts had trouble in Ohio and Missouri, they should turn their faces Asken the young men to go to tne polls next Tuesday see which is the best man, and vote lor the right man in the right place, then there will be no more d fierences between politics and the Mormon church, for as Uro. llifl says, an invisible wiie makes slaves of men. Compared himself to an instrument, said he was not much, but here are some who have a good tone, and will'Come on the Libetal Platform and ask vou to be taken out of the wet. We ate here for a love least, but want it on the square. There weie iiumerous and loud applause ap-plause during the speech. F. H. rivEtf Was introduced by Judge Powers, to take charge of the meeting, as he said he had been called suddenly away to the telegraph ollice. Mr. Dyer accepted the chairmanship with a few remarks saying he was a Dem ocratand would be very pleased to vote a Democratic Ticket, but ciicumstances were such in Utah, that he was obliged to affiliate with those of opposite political views, in order to thrawart the church power. lie had acted in an official capacity cap-acity in Utah, and had kindly feeling for the Saints, as lie knew they were honest people, and he had hoped to make Democrats Dem-ocrats ol all of them, but had failed. Had often been blamed for being too lenient with the Mormons while in office, but he had done what he considered just and right. He had instructed his deputies to not persecute the people while they were prosecuting their duties Had told them polygamy must go, and hadenfoicedthelaw. Although lie was blamed for his leniency, be would do the same thing again if he were called upon (loud cheers.) Mr. Crane, and R".v.

'4'he man who takes the ballot and votes at the dictation of another man, is not right. Talk about inspiration, in-spiration, a good thought is an inspiration in-spiration just as great as any received re-ceived by Brigham Young or Joseph Jos-eph Smith. It is not one man alone who has a right to an inspiration, but every man. In England the commoners com-moners claimed their rights and compelled com-pelled the great King John to sign the charter which gave them the rights. England is the anchorage of liberty in all the world.

First was Park City, then Ogden and last Salt Lake How the many new buildings which were going up bespoke prosperity, and many could hardly believe the results. When the Liberals went into power in Salt Lake the h id miny obsticles to remove before they could do what they desired, but before they go out of power they will till the utmost expectations of their constituents.
