Show At Provo The Democrats owned Provo last night The brass band and drum corps were sent out early in the evening and started the enthusiasm Long before the hour of meeting the people began to assemble and before the call to order or-der was made the building was packed to the doors Hundreds were turned away Inside the crowd was feeling very jubilant A O Smoot jr chairman chair-man of the city committee called the meeting to order and introduced A J Weber candidate for attorneygeneral who was greeted with a heavy burst of applause Mr Weber began by relating several very amusing anecdotes He said the Republicans had the marvelous impertinence imper-tinence to blame the Democrats for the hard times He denied the charge He said that in 1861 when the Republicans Repub-licans came into power the wealth of the country was equalized and was held by the many Millionaires were scarce and people looked upon them with a feeling of awe Now after thirty years of Republican rule millionaires I mil-lionaires are to be found on every I hand They are common Over half the wealth of the country is now held by 3500 persons while the rest of the I 65000000 people divide less than half among them A Republican Congress at the instance of the gold bugs and I monopolists made greenbacks worth only 37 cents on the dollar by their way of paying the public debt and interest in-terest When the western hills began to produce enough silver to meet the demands business the Republicans In 1873 struck down half the < money of the world for the benefit of the moneyed classes They ihave been in powel for twenty years since thenand have root remonetized silver We must judge the future by the past The calamity howlers would like a Democratic Congress to undo in i two years the mischief the Republicans have done in thirty years when In fact they should give the Democrats thirty years to undo the mischief done by the Republicans Jn l two years Statistics show that in Congress now there are four Democrats favorable to silver to onp against it while there are three Republicans Republi-cans against it to one for it The only hope for silver is ih the Democratic party There is not a Republican leader of any consequence east of the Rocky nountams who Is Jn favor of silver The Republicans lay great stress on the claim that Don Cameron is a silver man Is he Well his own state is against him But what sort of a silver man is he The other day the Republicans Republi-cans of Pennsylvania held a state convention con-vention and adopted a strong platform against silver Cameron was not at that convention fighting for silver Not ono word was heard from him and his Constituents Con-stituents loved him so well that thev adopted a financial plank atjaiist him and he made no protest Senators Jones nnd Stewart of Nevada have left the Republican Re-publican party because they see no hope for silver in it The speaker then took up the income tax He said it was a very just measure It would iav placed the burdens of government gov-ernment where they belong The rich were the only ones who ooposed this tax and when the Republicans saw this they took issue against the income tax The speaker then compared the two tickets from top to bottom with an omission of himself and showed the vast superiorIty of the Democratic ticket Someone in the audience called out The tickets all right This caught the house The cry was taken up and echoed People shouted clapped stamped whistled threw iip their hats and in other ways save vent to their enthusiasm They liked the ticket Harris Speech

min-utes At the id of Harris speech Mr Iijan agreed t > make i few remark As he arose the annliuss linke forth > fresh and lastp1 fully tvo minutes At length the distingushecl speaker was compelled to raise his hand and mOIrn for silence William J Bryans Speech Mr Tryali beqau by saying lie would talk to the audience as he would if he were talking to one person per-son He considered public officials public servants and not public pets uhey are a necessary evil They are necessary in order to preserve the rights of one class from being infringed by ether classes The people should choose their public officials with as much care and by the name rules as they would hire a man to work for them He said he know the man at the hoad of the Democratic ticket He had been Well acquainted with him personally working side by side with him in the halls of Congress He was known to be painstaking and honest during his congressional con-gressional career He would make avery a-very good governor for the state of Utah All those in Congress that knew him liked him The people will make no mistake mis-take in electing him Warm Praise For Ilawliiis The speaker said he had also personally person-ally and honorably known J L Raw 11 11 who had served Utah well as the records of Congress would show He had served Utah as no other man could Very few young men in Congress made such an enviable record as he did during his term If anybody goes to Washington and asks those who knew him and that would take in most of the members of Congress and newspaper men the answer an-swer would be the same The people of Utah will but show gratitude for great services rendered if they send this man to the Senate If they did not do so they would show they do not deserve such a man The speaker said the two parties might be compared to two apples one perfectly sound with the exception of a little rottenness rot-tenness and the other rotten with the exception of a little soundness If you want an apple to eat you would pick the sound one The Democratic apple is the sound one the Republican apple is the rotten one If you want to have the sound apple you must vote the Democratic Demo-cratic ticket The speaker however devoted most of his time to commendation of the Democrats Demo-crats for nominating their senators lIe said that the Democrats are in favor of taking the election of senators away from the legislature and electing them by popular vote They have signified this in Utah by nominating two candidates The Republicans have been very quiet on this point The people know who will be elected if the Democrats pain the leg islature If the Republicans win they do not know It may be Colonel flee Trumbo or it may be some other black sheep that no one knows He said that of course the people know the candidates better than he did But he wanted to say that if the other nominee nom-inee for senator was as good a man as Rawlins they would be the right kind of men in the Senate He asked the people peo-ple to send those men as they would be a great help to silver They will strengthen the arms of those who are making the fight for silver They would bring a message that the people of Utah are with those who are making the fight to capture the conventions of 1896 and are ready to stand behind them In closing the speaker said he believed that all Democrats believe that the senators sena-tors should be the choice of the people and that 99 out of every 100 Republicans hold the same view Democrats in Utah are standing for a principle If you vote the Democratic ticket you will know you are voting for men who are the choice of the people If you vote the Republican Re-publican ticket you will not know who I is to bo elected All through his speech the great Nebraskan Ne-braskan was the recipient of most enthusiastic en-thusiastic applause His earnest words j of commendation for the two men he had known and his presentation of the arguments in favor of their election wii do much good in Utah county this year Governor West closed the meeting As it was growing late he said he would only ask the people to support the cletic rirlgk OC ticket The Democrats of Provo feel very good after the meeting They feel that the party has been inspired afresh and that it can now go on and win the great victory vic-tory At Park City Nearly all the miners of Park City
