residence of Mrs George A Alder at 730 South Fifth East with Mrs Alder presiding and Mrs Margaret E Caine as secretary The attendance was unexpectedly un-expectedly large the capacity of Mrs Alders parlors being fully tested by I the interested women I Judge Henderson made the educational educa-tional speech of the afternoon He went back to the early revolutionary times and explained the origin of the ideas at the foundation of the two parties of the present time He I forcibly contrasted the monarchial system sys-tem of Hamilton and the democratic system of Thomas Jefferson The former would have had a president for life with a Senate representing the landed aristocracy of the country while the latter believed that short official terms would keep the office holders nearer to the people and better able and more willing to give wiing bive expression expres-sion to their will Foundation Principles He said that those entering politics tics should not think that they must give adherence to everything in the pat they choose There must be some things with which they will disagree dis-agree But study the foundation principles and see which are best suited to your belief in doing this first study the men who are responsible responsi-ble for the parties The Democratic party is the only one that has existed since the government was formed In the early days i was called the DemocraticRepublican party the term Democratic having been applied as a term of reproach during the French revolution but later adopted with approval as the full name of the party Jefferson was derided with tile name of Democrat but surprised his detractors de-tractors by full acceptance of the name The declaration of Independence that document upon which the people rely for their ideas of liberty might be called a Democratic speech It embodies the principles of the party I should itoo for it was written by the founder of the party There has been some attempt on the part of Republicans to detract from its force by claiming that i was only a repeti tion of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of ten years before That contention is easily answered Jefferson Jeffer-son was the writer of those resolutions resolu-tions Principles Xot MenThe Men-The speaker claimed i was not fair to judge a whole political party by the actions of any man who might be put in power Principles ne men is the proper motto As an example he cited the administration of President Van Buren who was ejected as a Democrat but who did not carry out the principles of the parity He said practical politics would speak for the Democrats Prior to 1860 the Democrats were constantly in power in at least one branch of the government Tramps strikes and ebullitions such as there have been in later years as well as the wretched poor throughout the United States were hardly known Compare that with the present time After thirty years during which the Republicans have been in power in at least one branch of the government monopolies have grown up tramps have become numerous and strikes and labor troubles are of common occurrence while wealth i centralized into the hands of the few Democracy tends to distribute wealth among the masses Republicanism to centralize it Democrats believe in giving the largest possible liberty to the people The speaker said he believed the women want fair play During the thirty years the Republicans were in power the country was in a state of delirium trcmens and the w men will not vote to continue this Democracy For Silver He said that during the time the Democrats were an power gold and silver were coined freely as money and that silver was not stricken down until the Republicans came into power He said that the Democrats believe in free silver and will insist on its coinage He said the Democrats as an elementary ele-mentary principle believe in extending the suffrage to all those competent to exercise it The party had acted on its principles in Utah by carrying the standard of woman suffrage until the point had been gained He said the idea of a third party was absurd Only the two great parties can exist long in this contry Women should not be led off by the claims of the other party They should choose between the two great ones He said voting was a duty I one has a vote and refuses to use it he is a little less than treasonable as he is not serving his country well He said that the voters should see that their public officers are capable and act properly They are the servants not the masters of the people and if they do not act properly they should be voted out of office The time has now come when the people will have an opportunity to mould the government of the new state They can decide on the doctrine of strict construction or liberal construction con-struction of tre constitution consttuton The speaker closed by advising the women who adhered to Democracy to carry the doctrines to other women and convert them to be apostles of their political creed A vote of thanks was tendered to Judge Henderson and short speeches were made by Mrs Emily Richards Mrs George A Alder Mrs Margaret E Caine J F Crowley and others X Personal Attacks The esteemed judge is after the esteemed es-teemed colonel as warmly as the offi cers are after the horsethieves For some time past he has been scattering his fire in a general way by calling for a clean campaign and making broad allegations of corruption and chicanery That method however must have been a failure as the Tribune Trib-une yesterday morning opened up with a column paragraph of an editorial leader in which it makes a charge that the colonel is a figurehead for the Southern Pacific and i supported by a corporation paper outside and strikers strik-ers and barkers inside the territory In support of this the esteemed judge cites an incident in connection with the proposed road to Deep Creek several sev-eral years ago saying that after Trumbo had come here and represented that he was not connected with the Southern Pacific and was working for the interests of the territory he one day asked the judge to go to New York while negotiations were being carried on and offered to give him transportation at the same time producing pro-ducing several blank passes signed by Superintendent Towne of the Southern Pacific on which was written On accont of employee of Southern Pacific Pa-cific railroad The Tribune continues That little transaction showed the height and depth and breadth of the love which he bears to this territory and the anxiety which he has to serve this people We believe that he with Colonel Clarkson last fall did make a proposition that if the people of this city would subscribe and place in their hands about twice as much money asa as-a given number of miles of railroad would cost they would undertake to construct that road in the interest of the people I was a generous offer but the stubborn business men of this city would not see it and the second railroad project failed I is on that record that this gentleman aspires to a seat in the United States Senate from this territory S C > A Crane Crusher The Intermountain Advocate Populist Popu-list organ contains an article this week which confirms some previously expressed ex-pressed opinions of the political department de-partment as to the reliance to be placed on the statements of Charley Crane I will be remembered that some time ago the evening sheet which aspires to be the local Republican organ had a great sensation about a letter being sent to the Populists favorable favor-able to Charles Crane saying that Crane knew absolutely nothing about the letter and wondered who could have written it and intimated that the letter was to be used to injure him Charles Ellis the lecturer explodes Cranes veracity however saying In a letter to the Advocate I wrote the Star that I was the author of the anonymous article sent to you that I had written it for Mr Crane that he had asked me if I thought Foster would publish i that he had taken the article from me and himself mailed it to you I then advised Mr Crane the honorable honor-able Charles Crane to withdraw his name as a candidate for office if he did not care to recognize himself as a dead duck The editor of the Star carried car-ried my communication first to our Trumbo next to Crane the honorable Charles and the latter having read it refused to return i and the Star man now knows that his paper has been subsidized scrub by at least one contemptible I have been out of the territory so mud in the last two years that I had not discovered Mr Cranes fine points I had known him only as the great king sheepI mean sheep king of Utahand thought he would make a good governor But this experience convinces me that a man who would lie when the truth would serve him better who would steal an article because be-cause it contained the truth is not the man we want for governor Conse quently I take back what I said advis ing the Populists to vote for the king sheep beg pardon I mean the sheep king of Ltah Respectfully RespectUly CHARLES ELLIS |
