Republican clubs were organized throughout the county, and the people are all anxious that the "campaign of education'' should go on- The false cry of the democrats that their party was the party for the poor aud the republican re-publican parly the party for the rich was exploded by the speakor. The people of this county will give a majority ma-jority of votes for the republicans. They are all io favor of encouraging home industry, aud if the tariff alone will not do it, then they are in favor of tho government giving a bounty. They were surprised when the speaker informed in-formed I hem that under democratic principles the government could not p:ivo a bounty to any particular industry. in-dustry. They were particularly in-t in-t 'rusted in learning of the progress of the sugar iudmtry in Lehi and the vast amount of money that will be kept iu this territory that has heretofore hereto-fore been sent out; the great amount of employihuut that it will furnish for laborers aud farmers, and tho additional addi-tional home market that it will create for the farmers, they could all understand. under-stand. The speaker expounded good, sound republican doctrine at Woodruff Tuesday, Tues-day, at Randolph Wednesday, at Lnke-to'vn Lnke-to'vn Thursday, at Meadowville Friday, and at this place Saturday evening. Iu each place he was listened to with the prolottndest attention, and many joined the cluos, some, even, who hail been deceived by the democrats and been induced by false pretenses to join their clubs.

"Mr. Yar'ian had called us tho territory. lie introduced the principal speaker of the evening, Dr. George L. Miller of Omaha. Dr. Miller referred to the hearty reception re-ception ho had received from the people of this city. Also paid a high compliment compli-ment to the progress which has been made here. He said you have laid a splendid foundation for a creator and grander city than you dream of today. My study of the rosources of this country coun-try convinces mo that that man is not alive who can tell what the future of this city will be in twenty-five years from now. I only know the democratic principle openly, squarely and broadly from the foundation. For this 1 have batn repeatedly brought to task in and out of my owu party. We must have local self government to bo successful. If you would bj .safe, stand by that little centre, self government. Let us have peace in Utah. ! The removal of all past affairs leaves you as ireo as tho people of any state. The past local issue is dead ami buried by a people as brave as any people. They have tasted torment, have sacrificed sacri-ficed their iulerests and felt the heavy baud of tho government.

These names are irritating to us and they ii ust not feel offended offend-ed if wo ex pi icss tho source from which they come." The speaker referred to the abuses of the ballot box, the measures to which resert had been made in the past, and charged that the registry was filled with bogus names, every one of which should be purged Irom it. The committee on permanent organization organ-ization recommended that tho temporary tempo-rary organization be made permanent.

You want political freedom to move along to a glorious future, to democracy, de-mocracy, republicanism and statehood the sooner the better. If tho republicans repub-licans don't admit the democrats vvhen they rap at tho gates of tho union wait until you are admitted. I There is no further use for tha Utah commission iu this territory. Tho people who have lived here the InpgeJt have gone into council and Hhoh.siied polygamy and mean that their decision shall be a law forever.
