Logan, Utah, Sept. 24. Special. Logan, the beautiful capital of northern Utah, was ablaze with Republican eii. tlLusiasm last evening, and the standard-bearer standard-bearer of the party was given a recept;. u such as was never before given any other man by the people of this city. The Union Pacific train that pulled into Logan with Frank J. Cannon on board last nifht was met at the depot by nearly 1000 enthusiastic Republicans, wbo cheered themselves them-selves hoarse as the "Little Giant of Weber" stepped out upon the platform and was rec ognized in the glare of the red tire and the ( torches of the political clubs in waiting. A hundred hands were outstretched in welcome and amidst cheers and shouts of "Our Frank!" "Hurrah for our next delegate dele-gate to congress," etc. Mr. Cannon was es- in the future it is probnble th?y will be called I upon to wcrs i.p John 0. Calhoun "instead. The majority o the people in Utah hive accepted accep-ted the principles of the Democrai-y in tiie past entrust and wiuout careful investigation; but now they are weighing those principle against thosa of Republicanism, and they wi.l findthem. wanting: and it has caused a radical change in the political convictions of iormer Democrats throughout Utah. The'Democratic party disowned the doctrine of free trade in the ast campaign, Lut this time they have been forced fro.n ambush and are sailing sail-ing under their true colors. And if the result of the November election shoul d show the majority in Utah had been reversed, it vi!l show n-t that the people had left the Uemocratic party, out that party had left the people. Mr. Hammond's remarks were received with great applause. FRANK CiX.NOS's ABLE SPEECH. The band then played a selection in good style, after which Frank J. Cannon was introduced in-troduced to the audience, and received an ovation as he came forward. He expressed his sense of pleasure and appreciation of the attention shown him by the Republicans of Logan. The principles of the Republican party of Utah, he said, are fully net forth in the platform of the national party. The principles of tne Democratic Demo-cratic party in Utjh, so far as known, are promulgated pro-mulgated from the editorial colucius of the S It Lake Herald. The Republican party desire j the people to investigate its principle-, and asKS that eery voter who is in sympathy w .th j those principle cast his vote for tlie.n in Novem- ! her.

SITUATION. The speaker then went on to illustrate the position of many young men in Utah, and showed that while calling themselves Democrats, Demo-crats, they really endorsed the Republican doctrines, and had given their allegiance to the free trade party through ignorance of its principles. To illustrate the great change which some men havft felt impelled to make in concession conces-sion to the Democracy and its policies, Mr. Cannon cited the instance of his friend, "Mr. S. R. Thurman, one of the ablest, if not the 00m . FRANK J. CANNON. The Standard Bearer of the Republican Party in Utah. corted to a carriage by James T. Hammond, chairman of the county Republican committee, commit-tee, Joel Ricks, president of the Lincoln Republican club of Logan, and members of the Wellsville and Hyrum Republican clubs. A procession was formed at the depot, headed by the Logan brass band and the members of the Lincoln Republican club, the WelNville and Hyrum bands and their ' Kepublican clubs, while in the rear of the candidates' carriage followed a long line of other vehicles. The route of procession lay along Second street to the Thatcher opera bouse, where the meeting was held. The 6treet was a blaze of red light along the entire line of march; the bands played, the crowd cheered, ladies waved their handkerchiefs hand-kerchiefs and everyone seemed wild with enthusiasm. The opera house, with a seating capacity of 800, was filled to the last chair, and Mr. Cannon's appearance upon the stage was the signal for a burst of applause that made the house ring again. Mr. Joel Ricks presided, and after a few Lreiiminary remarks, introduced Mr. J. T. ammond of Logan. THE OPENING SPEECH. Mr. Hainmohd said: A little over a year ago, when the first move-nu-nt ior division on party lines was ma le, U.8 lieaiocrnts were rirt iu th field, urg.ng itn people peo-ple to join issues with the natio:;a. parut-a, and particularly witu the Democratic party; not from party preieience, out on general principles. The Kepubiicau, on the contrary, appealed to the people to j,o fcl'jw and iuveotiate carefully tne principles of ijtu nartiea bloie jOimu oither.

Applause and laughter. HOW TO JUDCE A PARTY. A party should not be jucleed by the pledgee it makes, but by those it fulfills. In connection with the tariff question, it has been discovered that t.'Ki idol and founder of the Ddn;ocratic party, Tiioaias Jeferon, was an ardent ad.-ocate of protection, pro-tection, and had mated that sooner than take off the tariff on articles of foreiirn competition with home manufactures, he won d favor amending the constitution. Thomas Jefferson ua bena held bt fore tha people by the Democratic party as a model in the past, but ablest Democrat in Utah." Mr. Thurman is engaged tov on the stump in deriding sugar bounties; but imagine his feelings when one of his auditors with a good memory reminds him that he himself was a member of that patriotic legislature of the old People's Peo-ple's party, which granted the bounty to create and maintain Utah industries. If Mr. Thurman answers fully and fairly, he probably says in effect: "My belief was that bounties were correct in principle, but as they do not accord with Democratic theories, the-ories, I prefer to abandon a correct conviction convic-tion than to stultify myself before the people peo-ple by renouncing the false political name of Democrat." Both parties are striving for the same object, the pf rpetuition of our national institutions. But tht-ir methods are bo diametrically opposite tnat only one of them can te riht, ns onlv one t.f them can exist. One of tr.e .Democratic .Demo-cratic speakers last year tried to work up a scare over the pearl button tariff. He de- I clared that the prosperity of the country r e j pendfd upon that industry, and that disafct r ' would overwhelm ns if the tariff on tht art ie j were not removed. Laughter.

There are plenty of free trade countries coun-tries in the world, and if these free tra patriots are pining for thetn conditions, why don't they fly to them? Laughter and great applause.

LG&AN'S GRAND RECEPTION (Continued from pa?e 1.) mining and the manufacturing interests of our tr.-itory, and then if yon decide to stve us your suffrage, cac your votes bravely and honestly for us, without fear or favor. Mr. Cannon's address was finished amid loud and prolonged applause. The chair next introduced Judge Snelly, who said he considered it hardly fair to call upon him after the brilliant and able address ad-dress of Utah's next delegate to congress. He said he had the honor of carting his first vote for that grand Republican Repub-lican patriot and martyr, Abraham Lincoln, and ever since then he had given his vote to , a Republican candidate, candi-date, because he believed the Republican party was best calculated to attain the ends of our government. The party which asks the suffrage of the people should be able to look backward without fear. At tbe close of Mr. Saelly's remarks, three cheers were then proposed and given with a will for Frank J. Cannon, and the grand meeting was dismissed with music by the band. NOTES. Logan's reception was a royal one in every sense. . Many converts to Republicanism were secured. se-cured. The music was first class in every respect, and aroused great enthusiasm. Cannon was frequently compelled to stop and wait for the applause to cease before continuing his remarks. Frank J . Cannon will address the Republicans Repub-licans of Morgan tonight. James Devine and Judge Leonard of Og-den Og-den addressed a large Republican gathering at Brighton City last night. James Devine will discuss Republican doctrine with the people of Brighton City next Friday evening. |
