Show THE REPUBS RATIFY Thomas Tumbles Into the Party And Tumbles Out Again JUDGE BOWMAN ALSO BOWS 4 A Conglomeration of the Straights and Crooked Crawfish for tho Spoils of Office It was funny Governor Thomas and Frank Cannon on the same platform The lion and the lamb lie down together Panegyrics to the virtues of the Republican Repub-lican dynasty as free as water and cheap as jewsharps Groat guns and Jupiter Judge Lynch and JUdge Bowman bowing to the some Idol and swapping kisses to tho same goddess god-dess and glowing warm in each others embraces The bittersweet of dissension is tied up by tho same sweatband and the black blood of hate is broiled into the sweet honey of concord and content The two wings of tho g o p gather in their adjectives and swear by the eternal I that violence shall cease and that tho venom of the past shall smell as fragrant as the rose But Arthur Browns olive branch contains con-tains a thorn and Prince Arthur Thomas first endures the pungent stabs then retires to pluck the prickly poignant thrusts from his governmental seat and shelter his wounded dignity in the Tribunes cushioned chair What a parody was the Republican unification uni-fication meeting after all and how tho sores did gather but to fester and breakout break-out afresh The two wings wanting to unite went different ways Democrats calmly sat at the taffypulling with puckered puck-ered mouths pinching their smiles and smirking as they left And this was the HarrisonReid ratification ratifi-cation meeting that was to make Utah Republican Re-publican and it bore the love of lago to Othello Judge Lynch presided at the obsequies He announced that Governor Thomas had been drafted in and would make a speech The governor talked but said nothing He crouched like a bro hounded in a clump of bushes But ho spoke and faced the music and then read the answer in the insulting in-sulting banners that decked the balconies Flaynting from the galleries these devices stared

and Reid and i he had a vote which he does not favor having ho would poll it for them Judge Lynch Introduced Arthur Brown as a man who had just returned from Minneapolis Min-neapolis Brown was cheered by those who had once jeered He said I part Pour years ago I attended a genuine Republican meeting full of enthusiasm to ratify the electiod of Benjamin Harrison Applause j We were then one in thought one in principle and I hope it will not be the last one We have had four golden years of his administration and i Utah had a vote she would cast i for him Ap plnuseJ While we cannot cast our votes for him we can lend our enthusiasm and help the campaign along He spoke for free silver and for the McKinley Mc-Kinley bill eulogizing the Presidents Chilian policy praised the Plumed Knight and puffed Whltolaw Reid The speaker made the point that we in Utah are more interested in the President than the people I living in the states The Republican party of Utah was recognized recog-nized and the

the platform and a man who would make his mark in Utah The youth was greeted with tumultuous applause ap-plause Frank had it all figured out and with great sarcasm and I deal of certainty and there was no manner of doubt about it either that Benjamin Harrison would be elected president E W Tatlock got In I stem winder by saying that when ho mentioned the Republican Repub-lican party ho meant the
