handshaking and conversation during which time the flowing bowl flowed with Its mild decoctions decoc-tions and the band played on Chief Devine mounted a chair and announced to the ladies that Chief Pratt would chaperone a party of ladles which would be a large as the latter might determine by the attendance to Fort Douglas this morning and further that the cars would leave the hotel at 930 sharp This statement state-ment made James told all the multitude that when he attended the conventIon at Montreal he had asked the chiefs to come to this city but Augusta had beaten beat-en him Then one year ago he had succeeded suc-ceeded in getting them to come here and had promised them a welcome which should be a hearty one He was glad to see the good people doing SO well in assisting sisting him to redeem that promise and he would assure them that when they went back east all they would have to say to a member of the convention or his relatives was that he or she a the case might be once more was from Salt Lake city and they would get a cordial welcome wel-come Chief Devine then introduced Senator Frank J Cannon who delivered a short address SENATOR CANNON SPEAKS I is but justice to say the delegates did not appreciate the speech made by the senator from Utah Many of them kicked I was not the sort of a speech they Wanted 1 was too solemn and prosy What the party wanted was something I some-thing gingery and full of laughs The senator prefaced his speech by stating that he was never attacked with stage fright but twice In his life and both times wa when he was confronted with firemen One was the present moment mo-ment and the other was in Ogden or some other place when fighting fire a member of the department turned the hose on him and knocked him off the gable end of a house The senator paid a high tribute to the fireman who was the bravest man in the country The doctrine of vested rights jwa a tenet of the Christian religion The fireman got up in the night and rode to the fire in order to the I fre protect te vested l rights a man had to the preservation of hIs property He was pain less for his services than any man In public service This applauded took all right too and the people I Then Mr Cannon said something which was not applauded He declared that he wished the people of this nation were all firemen In principle s that they could rush to the defense of the institutions of the country which are in danger and i preseiVe them from the destruction which confronts tem The alarm bell has I sounded and November 3 we will go to the polls we that are brave like the i firemen and endeavor to save the republic t public Ths statement was construed by I the gold men In the delegation to be a whack at them and not a drum was heard nor a funeral note as far as applause ap-plause goes Remarks were heard all round the room and soon after the senior senator sat down to be succeeded by Judge Colburn JUDGE COLBORN I I Judge Colburn made one of his characteristic charac-teristic speeches I was full of meat and metaphor He called attention to the sights which might be seen here in this valley the mountains silhouetted against the clear sky the emerald bosom of the lake the gorgeous sunsets and all the lae te goreus al other scenic advantages which we enjoy Then the judge told the peope how glad we are that they are here and followed that up by making a statement of the wealth of Utah mountains In gold and have clone towards silver and what we have towads Increasing the monled wealth of the nation na-tion I made the visitors look interested too what he said Colburn is a loya silver man and he said something in favor of free coinage which was happily accepted He remarked I have learncu something which gives me great pain rankles to my heart and causes me an gnsh and that is that a poll of the vote of the delegation shows that the majority major-ity of you are in favor of the single god standard I hope that after you have breathed this air a short time longer that you will go to your homes in t effete east and tell the people you a going to join with us in faking that young Abraham Lincoln from the plains of Nebraska and leading him to the White House that you will help us in securing the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the consent of any other nation na-tion on earth ton < l the people applauded Chief Burns of Columbus Ga entertained enter-tained the audience for a short time with tar recitation of original matter a unique rcirton orgnal matter and then loud cries went un for Hum ten phreys But Humphreys was floating on the bosom of Utahs expanse of natural te pickle at that moment and did not respond re-spond so the ladies and gentlemen rented re-nted acquaintances and kept joy out of its cage until midnight when the party broke up and the reception was ended Firemans Apparatus Although this city is e great distance from the manufacturers of apparatus the various exhibitors have made avery te very good showing according to statements state-ments made by several of the chiefs Great interest is manifested by the heads of the departments
