Cannon and Congressman f Con-gressman Clarence E Allen received a reception upon their return yesterday from the St Louis convention by their political admirers I They arrived at 1215 over the Rio Grande Western accompanied by A C Cleveland one of the bolting delegates dele-gates from Nevada The party was met at the depot by a committee of those Republicans who endorsed the 1 course of the silver bolters and who had arranged a reception calculated to give expression to their way of viewing the action of all of those delegates who valkcd out of the convention when the gold platform was adopted and of these two in particular Denhalters band which had been engaged en-gaged for the occasion gathered in hotel shortly before front of the Knutslord fore noon and played patriotic airs I while the citizens who were to take I part In the reception assembled and wece loaded into carriages Headed by the Rio J the band the line marched to Grande Western deoci where several hundred citizens < < assembled by the time I the train arrived some bearing flowers and all imbued with an abundance of enthusiasm As the train drew up to the station the band played See the Conquering Hero Comes and when the gentlemen stepped out on the platform they were greeted by a series of lusty cheers from the crowd which went wild for a few minutes Everybody tried to get hold of the hands of the statesmen at once and nearly pulled them to pieces before be-fore they could be forced through the crowd to the awaiting carriages The demand for speeches was unheeded as the committee had arranged to have that part of the programme take place at the Knutsford so the procession started without delay Headed by the band the procession paraded the principal streets on the way to the hotel many a

wher a crowd of 200 or 300 people soon crowded in t hear the gentlemen express ex-press themselves concerning their action tion at the convention Prleg of Cannon Can-non Cannon soon determined as to who should speak first and Utahs senior natO In response took his i stand on the stairs leadintr t the sac ond floor and addressed the gathering He said SENATOR CANNONS REMARKS Men of Utah I did no ask you what I should do at that convent if the party should go back upon its promises and declare for gold for I 1 knew what you wanted me t do I knew that the people of Utah wanted every man I be true to himself This above all things t thine own self be true then it must follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false t any man Last year Governor Wells Representative Allen and myself insisted in-sisted in more than one hundred meetings meet-ings held throughout Utah that the greatest doctrine of the Republican party was the uplifting of the toilers of the cut and the protection of their Interests and that it rested upon the same basic truth as the monetary question Holding to that truth queon HolIng trut we believed that the Republican party was tending1 irresistibly towards the restoration restor-ation of the money of the people and we made an implied contract that if the Republican party should ever turn Its face against the rights o the people we should turn our faces against the Republican convention that did It i have no criticism t pass upon any other ma But I a not the kind of a Republican who can straddle from Wall street to the silver mines of Utah At the national convention Senator Lodge said that if the platform were made so that it would conscientiously mae onsentlolsly suit me he himself would be obliged t bolt Sucn men a he saw that there was no bridge to span the chasm I must be either silver o gold I am still a Republican But the Republicanism that I cling t is that which Lincoln taught which Grant proclaimed t his life and his deeds r which James G Elaine made supreme I am a Utah Republican and dhall expect pect to remain so until a great party i shall have done nvith its fit of madness and shall come back t the people who made it Great CONGRESSMAN ALLEN Congressman Allen who was next called for said I have not yet learned the way of being elected on one platform and tryIng ing to stand upon another The Republicans Re-publicans of Utah have declared year after year that the basic tenets of their faith were protection and the coinage of silver by the United States at the ratio of 16 to 1 Last year the money question was made the offensive part of our campaign in Utah and where the daily press did not reach we preached the same doctrine t the people peo-ple I do not wish to cast criticism upon other but I say that any man that remained in the convention at St Louis and save it the benefit of his blow at the presence was striking a te coinage elf silver And more than tat he was striking a blow at the protection protec-tion of American industries because I I the same principle that underlies the money question underlies the protective tariff There can be no protection for this nation so long as the gold standard shall prevail We have nO excuses to make to the people for what we have done We hav not left the Republican party we left the Republican convention I is now fo the people to say whether they wH uphold us whether they will lea le-a stand upon the gold platform and in the future give their votes their influence in-fluence to their intellectual powers to I f fIIV S I I SENATOR FRANK J CANNON I the building up in this nation of a I aristocratic domineering class which shall set its heel upon the people I THE NEVADA CLEVELAND I H C Cleveland the Republican warhorse I war-horse of Nevada responded to a demonstrative f dem-onstrative call when Mr Allen had concluded con-cluded He said that he had no apologies apolo-gies t make for his course in leaving the convention He had the satitCac ton of knowing he ha done right or I what he believed was right and that was enough for him I a not much of a speech maker said he but I am the peer of any man when it I comes to meeting an emergency I took great i courage t face that angry howling I multitude and denounce J t as did the silver delegates who walked out of the I convention but they had had the I courage of their convictions and had gone forth and he was willing to meet the consequences I took brave hearts to take that step when constituting less than a twentieth part of the convention conven-tion but the recollection of the hisses and groans that were showered upon them by the eastern mcnometailists was like music now that the people of the great west had given so rapturous a endorsement During the remarks cC the gentlemen they were frequently interrupted with applause but for some reason it was not nearly a enthusiastic a might have been expected under the circumstances circum-stances and it was not until the band struck the Star Banner stck up te Str Spangled Baner and old glory was waved above the heads of the crowd that anything like a spontaneous outburst occurred Then le by Fisher Harris from behind the offIce counter the crowd broke into along I a-long hearty cheer that lasted for several sev-eral minutes Then Charley Stanton I proposed three cheers for Delegate Kearns which was responded to with a vim The crowd remained for some I minutes to shake hands with the delegates dele-gates then gradually dispersed and the reception was over PROMINENT REPUBLICANS ABSENT AB-SENT Taken as a whole the event though much more flattering than was the reception ception of Messrs Brown and McCor nick was not nearly as enthusiastic a its originators intended it t be and will undoubtedly fall somewhat short of having the political effect that was contemplated as the personnel of the Republicans who participated the noticeable no-ticeable absence cf such members of the party a Judge Zane Governor Wells Judge Bennett Charles Crane etc showed that a big wing of the party was not represented whether by lack of sympathy and design or inability ina-bility to b present is not known but certain It is that but few of that class of Republicans lent their presence to the occasion < AT THE E An Buthuhinstic Audience and Glow laIr Spcechen I The theatre was crowded last evening even-ing with people who at one time were Republicans but who by the action > of the convention at St Louis have been read out of the party and ra ot are no longer members in good standing for by their action in approving of the I course of the delegates who walked I out of the convention they have pledged themselves not to support McKinley Mc-Kinley Hobart and gold The temper of the audience was such as to convince con-vince the most skeptical that they were thoroughly in earnest that they meant I exactly what their actions implied They declared themselves free silver itas frt and Republicans afterwards The meeting was ultra enthusiastic the theme was silver and nothing but silver protection was relegated to the I back ground and in fact several of the speakers said there could be no protection I pro-tection until the monetary question I was settled by the restoration of silver to Its former and rightful place as money hand in hand with gold Every one was interested and every thing said wa applauded Each speaker met an ovation upon his appearance ap-pearance The Denhalter band furn I I ished the music and added to the ished tle muIc excitement I ex-citement of the occasion by playing several patriotic airs Hail Columbia I I Star Spangled Banner Yankee Dod e etc all of which were vociferously vo-ciferously received cferously Several noted persons among them I being Judge Goodwin Judge Colborn Colonel Mackintosh Fred Hale John T Lynch J J Graenwald occupied I the platform The chief figures of them the-m llng were a little late and the audience audi-ence grew quite Impatient at the wait Finally led by Judge Goodwin Senator i Sena-tor Cannon Congressman Allen of Utah and Cleveland o Nevada came I in amid great applause and took seats Continued on page

WERE GIVEN A ROYAL WELCOME Continued from Page 1 selection while the band played a patriotic selctonCOLBORN COLBORN PRESIDES When the band had finished Jack Daveler called the meeting tO order and introduced Judge Colborn a chairman Judge Colborn said he did not feel I physically able to perform the duties of the place yet accepted the position posi-tion with satisfaction because he was proud to be one of an audience to welcome men hoI sent to performa perform-a mission which they have nobly accomplished ac-complished I I has been said that to preside at this meeting is equivalent t leaving the Republican party A voice Sure No not sure I have not left the Republican party I believe in its teachings as laid down in its history But Applause the Republican party ha left me I am glad I am a mountain man For among the ihills liberty ha her birthplace and hen home Tell struck his blow in aI1 height of Switzerland and the braw Scot fought his bat tles in > the hills And how proud we should be that that grand Highlander Henry M TeMar prolOTger cheers threw down the gage fought the battle bat-tle and come home like him who defied de-fied Gesler saying Ye crags and peaks Im with you once again I hold to you the Hands ye once beheld And Applause tell to you theyre free I And how proud we should be that our senator and our congressman left a that principle convention rather than sacrifice They say we are in the minority I do not believe it I When we are in the right we are eve in the minority And I believe that when the delegates from the several states left the convention con-vention bimetallism was born anew right there And while we are apparently ap-parently in the minority like Spartacus and his little band we are going to make It warm for Imperial Rome JUDGE GOODWIN TALKS Judge C C Goodwin received a ovation Ova-tion when he appeared He made one I of his characteristic speeches full of humor and bright sayings Judge Col born has mentioned Tell He should have said Switzerland had her Tell but Colorado had her Teller The hooting I hoot-ing crowd around the cross orod cros on which the Savior was crucified was no more infected with ignorance and deceit than the howling mob which hissed the silver men who walked out of the convention Cnventon How any man from the west could sit there after the gold verdict was rendered by that mighty majority I cannot understand I a goldbug candidate is elected this fall he will b3 the moat frightened man that ever sat in the executive chair The poor men of this country the farmers and the laborers are saying Let silver come it cannot ba worse than It is The gold men have b come frightened and now Mr Whitney and Mr Foraker both leaders of the two parties are hedging and although representing extreme views their two addresses dovetail together and make one speech MH CLEVELAND TALKS I Follpwing Judge Goodwin came Hon I AC Cleveland of Nevada who said Mr Cleveland said he was on > his way home after performing the greatest I great-est duty of his life The proceedings at St Louis from the start showed that silver had very few friends in the convention con-vention I was a slate convention and the slate was carried through but the silver men ran the race well and didnt throw off either The rabbi who opened the convention with conventon wih prayer prayed that the gold news might go forth and it went forth without giving silver a chance The speaker told of the efforts of the silver men in committee I com-mittee for the insertion of a silver I plank in the platform and their failure fail-ure and how he and others had come to the conclusion that the only thiv to dO was to walk out of the convention conven-tion like men The unequal fight however how-ever was carried onto the floor of the house and then came the parting of the ways Right there the silver men I dropped the convention a convention i from which no cheer went up except for something with gold in it The I speaker complimented Senator Cannon on the courage he displayed in standing I stand-ing before the howling and hissing convention con-vention reading his manifesto CONGRESSMAN ALLEN Hon C E Allen was the ext speaker speak-er and was vociferously cheered as he advanced to the front of the stage Mr Allen said he had made his ca vass In 1895 upon the free silver issue and the doctrine of protection He arrogated ar-rogated to himself no great amount of knowledge but he knew enough to not run on one platform and vote for I another His judgment was the restoration I I restor-ation 9J the right of living by on Increase In-crease of the money supply While an earnest believer In protec tion there can be no protection ton be prtectio so long as the silver issue remains unsettled un-settled The saker quoted the money platforms plat-forms of the a party for several I years o t and compared the planks s of Utah with those of the national arty The peo pie believed in free coinage and elected belief representatives pn that blef These opinions still maintain as those of a sturdy independent and fearless caSH of citizens Sent by a people like that to do a bidding he and associates had done what they could to carry out the behests of their constituents I con-stituents His duty as a delegate is over People of Utah will you stand on that plank Voices Never We had your honor a a people as a state to maintain and we leave the matter wit you We could not do otherwise than we have and be true to ourselves and you The matter is now in the hands of the people and must be settled by them The battle between the laboring man and the money power is on and must be fought out Labor finds no adequate return anywhere The time is ripe and the people are ready to declare that this slavery must cease SENATOR CANNON Judge Colburn next introduced Senator Sen-ator Cannon who was the lasts last-s bcnaxor Cannon was received with cheers In part he said when he was elected senator he humbled himself so far a to pray that he might always keep near to the common people Hitherto he had believed that the Republican party was the savior of the common people but when the gold platform written in Wall street was adopted at the convention his conventon prayer for the common people forcibly recurred re-curred tO him The adoption of the gold platform said to the man in rags there is plenty of broadcloth in the world but you cant have any because you have produced to much He had no quarrel with capital he was no agitator but this silver question was a question of plenty or starvation a question of whether or not the people of this land shall or shall not be divided di-vided into patricians arid plebians There Is land enough food enough and clothing enough for every man but it is plain that civilization is not doing its duty when SO many go landless naked and hungry The root of the evil is p pernicious money laws Protection was and is avery I a-very dear doctrine to the speaker and he considered himself a better Republican I I Re-publican today than ever before yet he I did not think the convention had the right to say that a man who happened to be In the minority must sacrifice principle and what he believed to be right He had no word of censure for those of the silver party who had not done exactly as he had in leaving the convention but in bolting he was but carrying uteri e pledges K veii L me people or utan last ran I Neither did the speaker want to censure I cen-sure the Republican party but he I could not forbear from saying that I men in that convention were seduced from the truth by dishonest means I He was a Republican in th state of Utah and if the party would not allow him and others to be Republicans beyond I be-yond the state line they could at least stay at home The state convention may read a great many of us said Mr Cannon out of the party the same I as we wen read out of the national convention they may say we have given up protection but I a not aware that I have given up any protection I pro-tection Protection is secondary to the monetary question and there is no I party which will not give the people I protection of some kind either party I will force it on the people I To the Democrats Mr Cannon desired de-sired to say a word He was glad to see some Democrats present and glad that they commended the course of the I bolters You said the speaker will have an opportunity to show your devotion I de-votion in your own convention by remaining i I maining in and maintaining a free silver ver man like Henry M Teller who If I he was nominated all Wall street could not prevent from being elected I He asked the Democrats to sacrifice some of their cherished ideas and i nominate for president the only man who can b elected in opposition to II I McKinley and that man is Henry M I TeleDEl |
