We found it necessary in the Territory of Utah to organize a democratic party. In llie month of May 18S8 the so called Democratic party of Utah (since then dead) called a convention to meet at Ogden. That call requested everv Bern-ociin the Teiritorv to be repiesented at Ogden and it surely mattered not to what church these Democrats belonged; it surely m ittered not in what way they chose to serve their God, as long as they were good citizens. Under these impressions as a Democrat I went to Ogden. Others went. We were elected delegates to attend that convention. We weie contested in that election in our county and in other counties on a religious test. It was decided that it was impossible for a man professing a certainfaith and believing in ceitain leligions tenets to be an honest Democrat. I have studied the piinci-ple- s of Democracy from my earliest child hood; I' believe 1 was born a Democrat; I was educaled a Democrat; 1 applied for admission to that convention because I was a Deni icrat and came under a call from what I supposed to he a Democratic Territorial committee cal!. I was excluded because of my religious faith. To that religious faith I still adheie and I intend to adheie to-i- just as long as I ' believe it to be true.

Those men never were and been ascertained that a considerable number of the citizens of Utah claim lo be Republicans. That is all right but we think that if the people will compare the two platforms there will be fewer Republicans in Utah than there are today. We found that it was necessary to organize a Democratic party that the of Democracy might be discussed. It has only been recently, since the Ogden convention that I oegan seriously to reilect on national politics in Utah and I think that it is time for the young men generally to commence to reflect and determin for themselves also, whether they are Democrats or Republicans, for so lar as politics are concerned at least it resolves itself to this, that every man claims to be one of the two. If you are a Democrat, show it by always voting the Democratic ticket when you have a chance, aud if at the polls on the 6th of November next you cast a ballot for the Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress I shall be much pleased. In as much as we believe that there are a great many Democrats in Nephi we shall expect quite a number of Democratic votes, and vve know of course for whom they shall be cast. The above is only a synopsis of what Mr. Thiunian said, his speech being filled with blight and spicy sayings. When he dosed, he took his seat amid tumultuous applause. The chairman then introduced prin-tuple- s can never be as long as they hate like with an Iiisti- they do connected tution of suchhonest and sincere principles as this party is based upon. I do believe thatift is proper for the youth and older people of Utah to study the lines that separate the two great parties of the nation. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel and work to put these backslidets and all theircolleagues of whatever political faith they may be, on the shelf. We can do this in no better way than by abandoning the old parties and work with parties having broader platforms. W. A. C.
