The decorators had unfolded all tho guild of decorative decora-tive art, and tho spacious room Moated a wilderness of patriotic colors. The platform, that had beeu hurriedly constructed, con-structed, wax fringed with Hags and bunting, while the fragrance of two imiueuse boipiets was swept from the tpeakor's table.

They have persisted in going to the penitentiary for their faith rather than to Al.in.lnn Polygamy. but if they are brought into court today they will testify that they not only believe be-lieve that polygamy is not only legally wrong but it is morally wrong as well. Did you ever hear the members of the people s party declare against division? That shows that they are controlled. The church is not playing for any immediate im-mediate result. Their plan is to get statehood for I tab. The mormon church is not concerned about controling territorial terri-torial politics for a few year. If they can gel statehood aud linally entrench themselves behind stale lines, would I they not seize on the first state legislature legisla-ture and entrench themselves iu power for generations to come? The only ipicstion belore 11, is w hether you are w il.itig to take any such r bunco as this. Honesty, rather than fancied experience, experi-ence, will be found in thu long run to be the best policy.'' Judge (). V. t'owcrs was the next speaker. After this meeting, said he, hud listened to the unanswerable and eloquent presentation of This Must iterion (Juration he could scarce conceive it necessary for him to add a word; but in the presence pres-ence of the 1 ast atidieuce no man should hesitate to declare tho faith that lies within. He remembered twenty year ago when the liberals met iu a hall erected by Walker Bros, aud dedicated to liberty. In the old days a few men assembled and nominated Henry W. Lawrence for mayor. Tho Ileseret .New s urged a meeting to ratify the nomination and the max-.es turned out. They attended the meeting. They at- of the objects of this meeting was to show that it was still alive and living. At this juncture the speaker was interrupted in-terrupted by the arrival of the old liberal lib-eral baud, that entered to the refrain re-frain of "Marching Through Ceorgia." tuiet having been restored, the speaker stated that wheu ha was bioken olT be was about to remark that this was one ot the most important epochs in the history of I'tali. When such great changes occu'', anil men change fronts so suddenly, rellective minds will inquire into the cause of it. We can understand w hy the people's party docs it, but wo can't understand why any member of tho liberal party should do so. Look about you. Is there anything to occassion disquietude 1 Are we not prosperous? Our city has made niarvelout strides. Our poptila- i tended from mau to bishop and wheu the signal came they destroyed benches and broke up chairs. Twenty years parsed and there arose a shout that wakened the world. Salt Lake was disenthralled anil redeemed. Twenty years before they had broken up that j meeting twenty years later they were relegated to the back ground as a back number. I he ndoption of a platform declaring against the tiniou of chinch and state had now been ratilied. In 1872 they began their efforts to secure statehood. They held a meeting in the tabernacle for the purpose of securing statehood. At that meeting they re elected nineteen men as a delegation to a constitutional convention. con-vention. ' Ten of them were mormons and nine of them wore g mtiles General Gen-eral Connor anil Jud-re lloge run side by side with George Q. Cannon and Orson Or-son Pratt and yet they exclaim the church has no hand in politics. Does it not on tho contrary show the perfect sway and control tuo church has over its poles. It is The Same Old Story. The struggle for statehood. History repeals itself again, and I ask you tonight to-night are wo ready for it? The time would come when Utah would be ready for admission to the union but the peo pb) will recognize it ai readily as those who are seated within tho walls of the Gardo house. Let us meet and express our views, our opinions, but let us keep in our heart the sweet music of patriotism patrio-tism keepiqg time with the inarch to victory. Judge Powers was followed by Judge lloge who recited his election to the ennui i I lif inn n I emrnntinri 'rh..A wsA I tiou has increased, our volume of Gnance has grown magnificent structures struc-tures have been erected. Never has there been a time when things were more encouraging to the patriotic mind or discouraging to the theocratic mind.

Why that the two great parties be turned over to the people's party turned over to tho church. We4iave now the remedies re-medies of the nation behind us. Remove Re-move that and we are left to the mercy of the church. There would be but one thing left revolution At the I'oint of tha Hayonat.

Allow the programme that has been concocted behind the screens of priesthood, anil j what will be the fate of your chi Idren and all that is dear to them. You know tho vaeilating attitude of the rhurch. It's anything to secure statehood, no matter whether the mantle descends from (Jrover Cleveland or ltenjaiuin Harrison. All we've to do is to put our shoulders to the wheel and our faces against everything that looks to statehood.. state-hood.. It becomes every patriot to buckle on his armor and go to the front. They may give us all or make a f;iirdi- I vision ef the offices at the next election. That would be a trick. They are un- ilertaking to do by strategy what they cannot do by numbers." The speaker continued at some length i and concluded with a vigorous appeal I to his hearers to stand by the liberal party. Judge Dickson was the next speaker and was greeted as be advanced to the voicvutiuii. i nvi g ncic two questions confronting the people of I'tah government of the people, for the people and by the people.or government govern-ment of the church, for the church and by the church. He called upon his hearers to consider these propositions ca refullv. Speeches were made also by Hon. C, S. Varian, who was emphatically against division until the party organizations organi-zations themselves ordered it. Judge tioodwin who ridiculed the idea, Charlie Char-lie Stanton who admonished the voters f Salt Lake that registration would close next week and it was their duty to go to Independence hall and see that they had been registered. He was followed fol-lowed by C. E. Allen after which the I meeting adjourned. THE DKATII SKNTENCK. Rprntatlvee of Ihe I'enpla's Tarty Meat and J(elesta the Orgaa'ation to th l't.

This is a time when it behooves II to pause for reflection before it is too late. For if this new movement is once placed on a lighting oasis there will be no opportunity for us to regain our feet. We owe certain responsibilities responsi-bilities to our neighbors, to our fami-i fami-i lies ami to our children.
