"I've a little one at home of the same size," said he fulicringly "and she's the biggest piece of furniture in the house." He continued with a most beautiful apostrophe to childhood and then proceeded pro-ceeded to deliver one of the most stirring addresses of the campaign. He unfolded all the truths of the new dispensation. The question of polygamy was one that should have been disposed of years ago. It would have been better for lis misguided mis-guided devotees to have surrendered, unconditionally, the degrading practice. prac-tice. It would have kept shame from the white brow of childhood and enabled en-abled the husband to raise his head in manhood.

Judge Powers took the platform upon Judge Goodwin's retirement, and, holding hold-ing In his hand a mysterious document, said a gentleman had asserted to him that there was no such thing as a union in Utah between church and state.

In response to this communication communica-tion Judge Jones wrote the following latter: chief the weapons of the campaign warfare war-fare were again drawn and the column was re-formed with Judge Power in commaud. In the meantime the roar of anvils was iM-lchiug through the thoroughfares, while five hundred torches borue by the Liberal club were led by a band that discoursed unrivaled music. There was an enthu.-ilasiic pooling of forces in the main thoroughfare thorough-fare aud a grander spectacle was never presented in the annals of political demonstration.

General Gen-eral Connor walking upon the platform was greeted with a volume of applause so dense that tl threatened to eclipse the effulgence of the are light. The meeting grew even more demonstrative when Judge Goodwin epeared. The foundation of the opera house almost quivered beneath the tremendous levy that enthusiasm was Imposing upon it. Presently Judge M M. Kellogg made his appearance and in opening the meeting delivered an eloquent address upon the rights of frrcmeu under the constitution ol this free country. He was followed by Hon. O. W. Towers Tow-ers who In introducing Hon. C. C. Goodwin took occasion to refer to a telegram that was clutched in a hand that almost trembled with righteous righte-ous resentment. The telegram had reference to the action of an alleged democratic, club and was repudiated over the signatures cf the most prominent promin-ent exponents of that cause In times of war between the national purlins. The message was addressed to Judge Goodwin Good-win and read: Ths resolution of the D-mncrat'e eluh, pr Ttsss rHMt. aki-itf you lt etpreii rttiriiui-lonuf rttiriiui-lonuf Hi I. ."Ion lt-ctun hill duo not uli tie seiilimi-n' of thedi'mierais ( this cut. l y whom you will Its cordially stipi orted without regard to national polities.

A large train of wagons and other conveyances were gathered at the pier and awaited the traveler. The ride was through an avenue that was margined on each side by dense foliage, the fertility of the soil asserting itself in stacks of hay and grain while the prosperity of the ranchman was revealed in hundreds of browsing sheep and cattle and dapper horse. When the opera bouse was reached a bouttonaire was shedding its fantastic colors from every coat of the pilgrims. At this point the voyagers alighted and the party formed in a column at the head of which was the drum corps and the Queen Gity guards whose weapons pierced the air with a chapter of resounding salutes that made the occasion even more thrilling. Marching with solid phalanx onto the stago tbey were ushered into the presence of a spectacle for which they were scarcely prepared.

The fanatic writhed and the opera bouse literally shook with rousing demonstrations. dem-onstrations. The choir then furnished another selection, se-lection, when Judge Powers took the platform and stated he was not aware until a moment ago that he was expected ex-pected to close. He regarded it as an honor, and be said to the people of the People's party that the only difference between you and us is freedom of action. ac-tion. It was shown in Salt Lake that the effect of this difference Was most baleful. The impression seems to havd gone abroad tonight that there was a misunderstanding between Governor West and myself as to membership of a club. There is no difference dif-ference between us, my friends. We stand together arm in arm as solid as a wall. We both believe in clubs, for in their walls the soundest principles of American government are often conceived. con-ceived.
