after election when the senator elect and the defeated appl rants were invited to address the joint assembly senator elect rawlins made a very appropriate address and was wag attentively listened to and liberally ap but the intro tion of moses thatcher was made the occasion casion oe of a demonstration far greater than that tendered to the successful candidate it amounted to an ovation curiosity was aroused as to what mr thatcher would say concerning certain influence at al lebed to be at work during the trie gle and all available room was wa crowd ed lie fie was calm moderate in his lan glage and guarded in his expressions yet there was enough of a sensational nature in his talk to make an impression on the assembly that will be lasting his address was as follows I 1 mr president honorable members of the state legislature 1 I thank you for the warm greeting which you have accorded me I 1 was entirely taken by surprise hai ha ing corne come in hollsten toll sten to such remarks marlis re at as might be made by the hon arable senator elect I 1 paid careful attention to the few remarks made by the honorable gentleman and indorse every word spoken by him I 1 hope now that we ma maj be able to lay aside any ill feelings which may have arisen during the contest which ended yesterday there can be nb ab question on the ability of the gentleman of your our selection he having already proven him self an able legislator and a defender of the rights and liberties of the people of utah I 1 can say wilh pleasure and satisfaction is that so far as am individually concerned the contest has ended v without any feelings in my heart of a nature other than those which 3 ou would approve there la Is no heart burning left as to the result I 1 know I 1 shall do my part and am satisfied that you will gladly do yours your to support Bul port the honorable gentle 1 man an of your choice in the labors in which he shall be engaged in the halls of 0 I 1 legislation at the seat scat of government I 1 feel thatis that it will be his pride to do hla his utmost to keep utah in the front rank not only in prosperity and peace but in n honor in truth and in the courage of her er citizens TRIBUTE TO RAWLINS political itt struggles ruggles such as an the one through wilch we have recently recen kiy passed are to some rome extent new in the young state of utah from the beginning of the division on political lines we have met to become familiar with the pran cyples of ca ahll 11 government we have met to carr carry on our contest content in an honorable way and when thlema have been intro deuced that tried arld mens feelings and men in anger have lost the hal bal once of their judgement jud gement the democrat Dem ocra tic lie party part and especially the democratic leaders have sought nought to pour oil upon the troubled waters A few 3 years cars ago in the contest then on between the he demo erotic anti and the republican parties when the gentleman of your jour choice was wan our standard bearer and objections were urged against him that we felt ought not to be urged I 1 took the stand then and I 1 occupy it now that if he or any canoll date for office must go down under an influence of that kind I 1 should seize him film by the right hand and go down with hin him I 1 think we have made progress in the brief experience of a brief career and while there are many new things for us till to study many new thoughts entering our minds let us each day eradicate everything that IS 1 objectionable spurn everything ever thing that la Is df dishonorable honorable retain log that which it it good and noble 1 and rejecting that which to I 1 th ahr reverse WILL B Z UTAH S HONOR the hoo honorable rable gentleman whom j nit have selected to represent this fair new state in the senate for six sl years hlll ill see bee to it I 1 take it that honor shall not be tarnished I 1 that word la Is as R good as a utah bond that the coy cov anant breaker does not class himself among honorable and just bet men any where and that there Is 1 but one royal road to success to honor and to glory and that Is the path of rectitude and truth having the courage of condic eions and when convinced to maintain them having the courage to protect every citizen in his rights und under erthe the national and state constitutions the foremost thing Is 1 to consider the restoration of silver for in that issue li Is involved more of misery and of want than a protracted war or famine or des clation could bring the hand of monopoly Is on the throat of industry and it will be the part and I 1 think the pleasure of the honorable gentleman who has spoken to you to do his utmost to remove it and if we appreciate the heritage or our fathers father to be free from england as a our fathers declared at the mouth of the cannon a century ago that they would be free it will be so WISHES HIS RIVAL and now Is the opportunity to thank the fenbers of body who through the dreary struggle sustained your humble servant for the highest of flee fice in the gift of the people I 1 wish success to the choice which you made yes berday in every department in all he undertakes to do to represent utah the youngest the truest the he bravest of them all not only in her right to the use of the money of the constitution but in her right to be free from all influences that are forbidden forbids n by this great state great applause apo lause there 1 room in this new State for all 1 societies and all organizations but they must confine themselves within thel their I 1 proper limits applause the men who enacted the supreme law of this state made a covenant with the citizens thereof 0 1 and with this nation those covenants will be kept and we mut must kee keep p them lie ile who desires desire peace and pros for utah will draw the line sharply between the rights of the citizen the powers of the state and those of the church applause CHURCH AND STATIC STATE ili he who votes for the commingling com mingling of the two or the over riding of the church by the state Is 16 no friend of utah he who invites intervention of the church in state matters Is an enemy to utah and if we think we can bring peace and continued prosperity in this new state by temporizing with those hose questions we are cimpl mistaken I 1 touched upon this subject briefly because it Is the one that has been aggi tating fating the public mind I 1 do not be aleve that anything like the influences have been used that have been talked of on the streets but the day must come in utah when he who holds a higher allegiance le legi ance than that which belo beloncis niza to the state must not be a law maker to the halls of the state applause there Is but one way to obtain peace and prosperity and that Is to have not ont on the form but the life and vitality of a republican go government which recognizes the to be in the people representative dative robinson caused a ripple of excitement by rising to a question of personal privilege in explaining a letter he had written which has here tolore been alluded to here it Is I 1 kanab kane county utah dec 31 mr joseph A smith ogden utah dear sir your letter of the irth dinst received I 1 am at present unable to take that higher ground ayou you speak of and indorse for the highest civil post tion that utah can give one who has proven himself recreant to a cause which he had so completely and N wholly holly pledged himself and which I 1 should judge you in connection with myself considered consider een en more higher and more sacred than that of the united states upon this quest question lon I 1 am free and and intend to remain got so but unless my views are materially changed I 1 will not in my feeling nor ay my vote indorse moses thatcher for senator respectfully jos E RoBiN ROBINSON sow 11 1 1 I 1 may say continued mr robinson that for that letter I 1 have no apology to offer I 1 regard the position of an apostle as more sacred than a united states I 1 was importuned importuner by mr smith a loyal mckinley republican I 1 bel believe leveo to support mr thatch er tits his letter to me I 1 guarded as it a ricely private comment communication cation I 1 sup up pose I 1 would be treated with the same consideration had not the gentleman referred to this letter possibly I 1 might not have arisen but I 1 regarded it as my duty to say what I 1 have I 1 mean what I 1 say and I 1 assert I 1 would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the lord than president of the united states in feeling as I 1 do I 1 lose nothing ot of my loyalty to state institutions mr thatcher later replied to mr rob inson 1 41 I was wag not aware that mr smith had written wr liten said he using my name for the support of any office to the h honorable member front from the fouth but inasmuch as my name appears in that letter I 1 beg the indulgence of this honorable bod to say just a word or two I 1 y to the honorable
