tgdcn Silver Republican club the following fol-lowing stirring address on the sena tjrial situation was delivered bj the t h8irmanf but I do not give his name as he has a wife and children to SUD ljrt Fellow Citizens and Ladies I have ntured to call this massmeeting oft of-t i thirteen silver Republicans of Ofi e n so that the lawmakers down af i frjlt Lake may know something of theseS I v the-seS of the great majority of the I uple upon the subject of the sena t > rial election Our party has a candidate candi-date whose record speaks and smells f r itself He is the only real states 11 n in the bunch Even his enemies gaze upon his record with pride and j i > He claim to be in favor of pro t tion to Utah wool and sugar and 1ja and yet he voted against the bill wlrh put a duty on them He claims t > be a Republican and yet he walked t ut of a Republican national conven tnn He claims to be a silver man 3 t he deserted the battleground at St Luis where he was sent to make a 1 ght for the white metal and he now wants to break into the Democratic i units He claims to be a master of i nance and went to Hongkong to post tniself on the principles of bimetallism bimetal-lism I tell you it takes ability of a 11 sli order to make a record like that Fith a man is able to fool all the peep pee-p < all the time He is now professedly a Democrat but he would be a Mc Knley Republican if the legislature v ere of that complexion Like a chame I 3ci nn he always has a few colors up Ins sleeve Such is the man we proud lj propose for the Utah senatorship A ARIED ACCOMPLISHMENTS As an crator he

hOot tu gail to vote knowing that my Ji nd Cannon was himself in the fieid ho is this man with an Irish name v hi assumes the right to occupy Sena V r Cannons scat in the senate if the I 1 ilature is willing to give it to him U by he is not a statesman at all Her He-r r edited a newspaper in his life C made a speech lasting over two h urs He knows neither Sanskrit nor Crock nor could be quote a

security is or 1 > tJ to his election and that those I L ot owe him the most are making the debt fight against him Does that t w that he is popular or does it I friow that they dont want to lose him And this brings me to the greatest ob Jfotlon to his candidacy his wealth I He Is not rich by his own labors but 1 y the foil of other people whom he 1 js to do his work while he himself r iuls around

high-est office within their gift MAY IMITATE FRAXK There is some talk of his hiring a hall this week and inviting his friends to listen to the history of his life and a confession of his sins He will not only confess the truth of all the charges brought against him by innuendo at Senator Cannons meeting but he will startle the public by a confession of past misdeeds never before even sus jetted He will confess to holding up a stage belonging to Gilmer Salisbury Salis-bury in 1SC3 and earring off on a horse a safe weighing twentythree hundred pounds he will confess that in crossing the plains with the handcart comoany n the earjy 50s he stole two wheels from one of the handcarts and made them into a bicycle for his own use lIe will confess that at Manti for thirteen thir-teen years from 1870 to 1SS3 he supplied sup-plied a meat market with beef and mat nobody ever knew where he got the steers he will confess that he issued is-sued counterfeit money at American Fork in 1S 8 3 and dealt faro with fifty three cards in a deck at Bringham City in the winted of 1SS78 He proposes to confess himself one of the worst men on record he says if that is the sort of a man the silver Republicans are looking for In that way he cypects to capture the silver Republican vote in the legislature and counteract the effect of the great Confession in the Salt Lake theatre a few days ago But I tell you t fellow citizens the silver Republicans of Ogden will not stand McCunes nefarious work nor that of Ins manager Fisher Harris who was a professional burglar before he joined ifcv > Democratic party and who de rends upon the brightness of his paste damond shirt stud to blind the silver Republicans to the real character of his candidate The fact that Senator Cannon is talking of resuming editorial charge of the Ogden Standard in the event of his defeat should stimulate the silver Republicans this city to renewd efforts to bring about his election I tell you once more that Mc Cune Js actuated by selfish purposes He wants the position for the honor there is in it and not for the salary at all This soulless millionaire who compels com-pels his men tq work for a living in building railroads and opening mines instead of handing them their wages and allowing them to enjoy life is spoken of as a public benefactor forsooth for-sooth Where is the Christian charity char-ity of such a policy 1 should like to know and what does Ogden want of a railroad in southern Utah We must defeat McCune at all hazards and until un-til we succeed we must be careful not to express our real sentiments upon the subject of the Utah Democracy or what there will be left o fthe wreck The massmeetinsr then adjourned with one cheer for the acrobatic senator sena-tor and two for the orator ofthe evening even-ing ALISTENER |
