a 1 d this with the music and the shrill from the throats of the hired urchins succeeded like the tail of the apocalyptic dragon in drawing after it enough enough of the floating floating population to makeup a good sized bizet if not a ve very respectable table tabie audience T the e arena where the exhibition was to take place where democracy was to be butchered to make a liberal holiday was fixed up regardless of expense or good taste A nine tine charcoal portrait of john C heenan said to rear bear some resemblance to grover cleveland for whom it was evidently intended swung midway between the stage wings a little in the rear of the seats occupied by the performers two transparencies with the names of the president and vice president elect and the motto I 1 A peace party in time ot of peace kept the lone portrait company and chinese lanterns filled in the intervening space and lent an oriental to the scene at the left of the stage was a transparent box which chlad nad graced the procession on which appeared the words absolute Sepe ration of church and state the artist having misspelled the work separation 11 the tig committee on arrangements had haa that side turned to the wall as quickly as possible and the obverse lettering read democratic supremacy insure insures the full fuli enforcement of the law 11 on the opposite side from another illuminated box glared the legends twenty years at home J G B 11 and I 1 the republican publican lle lie party died hard all sinners do at half past 7 the fort douglas band in the orchestra struck up hail hall columbia and while they were seats on the stage rapidly filled nearly everybody up there had blue ribbons on which or of course gave every assurance of their owners sobriety butas but as es if to impress this fact yet more vividly a pitcher of water vater which was studiously avoided rested upon the banner wrapped table in front of the footlights judge ros orough one of the chief proprietors af f the show was the soberest man in the crowd at least he had t the h e biggest aa badge ige on it looked as if he had been to a quil quilting tin bee and inadvertently come away with the quilt the farst to tread the sawdust saidu st was zera snow a daring young b wre re back rider whore who re cited while at full gallop what many su supposed posed to be one of Macau lays ballads ballads of ancient rome ile he also made some allusion to the twin relic of barbarism one of the animals in the side show perhaps and closed by u y announcing that the grand ringmaster mas ter was about to enter tile the aiana arena the last named gentleman bed quilt and all rolled forward to the footlights and bez beg bezan began gam cracking his whip he gree greeted ted all irrespective of party creed color or previous condition of servitude said helas he was not there to quarrel with anybody and hoped all would feel perfectly at home or words to that effect ile he then proceeded to pitch into the mormons cormons Mor mons in good clid liberal Liber ally aily style pausing occasionally nally to take breath and use the spittoon by which means he finally succeeded in getting out all there was in him on that subject ile he then invited everybody to be democrats who wished to do as aa he did and be as he was but he wanted no string on it if 11 that is unless he could pull the string and control the automatic nned fled elings as he deemed proper ile he said tha thad t if the utah question could not be settled in any other way he would welcome the indans of settle men Which many believed necessary to do it most speedily and effectually lie he eventually got as far out of hll hii way as clevela cleveland nd aad and democracy which brought momentarily to mind the ithe ostensible object of the meeting an ana 4 predicted that the democratic party would do more in four years than the republicans had la in twenty four towards americanizing American izing utah territory after music by the fort douglas band ringmaster rosborough introduced his partner judge sutherland who proceeded to perform the most wonderful wondern ul feat of the evenin evening the delivery from froin manuscript of a demo critic speech from a I 1 IL liberal standpoint without any reference whatever to mormonism 11 the tho speech was too sensible and moderate to be appreciated precia pre c ted it was the best thing of the evening but it received little applause ithe Fir emens band now executed an entree and captain smith of ogden and elsewhere came smiling up ap to the footlights like a roll of rancid butter this gentleman was at once recognized as the clown of the circus at any rato rate he made himself one and created no end of laughter and disgust he said lie he hard hardly ly knew know what to to say and he looked it every ever inch 1 I 1 n ch it would be very veny hard to tell aka what t he did say ile he puzzled w used and disgusted everybody by li his is egotism and stupidity lie he said he admired james G blaines ability but did not consider him the best man in the world he himself being entitled to that distinction ile he said the peoples party were not democrats for democrats never voted under any other name a terrible gouge at some of the I 1 liberals I 1 who so lately run him for congress and that it was reserved to democracy to wipe out el polygamy my ile he stopped three times in his s silly ramble to propose three cheers for cleveland and hendricks but though he hipped I 1 evlow ed hipped 11 the people follow him and finally he was told to sit down by bv voices from all parts of the auditorium during durin his ram rambling bling which was wa s devoted almost entire entirely lv to polygamy upon which his mind seemed instine instinctively to dwell Judge Sutherland and judge hoge got up and walked off the stage joining no doubt the many who had half preceded receded them into the street judge marshall fidgeted frowned and changed chairs and but for the fact that re he was to be tile the next speaker would undoubtedly have followed their sensible example mr marshalls marchalls Mar speech was thoroughly democratic devoted to the records record made by the two great national parties and though brief was full of interest and earnestness like judge sutherland he left mormonism out of the question and the crowd also left him out boutas as to the matter of applause next came a written speech read by prof L E Hol hoi holden hoiden clen cien which would have beon interesting had not the audience been too tired to appreciate it parley L williams next rode his hobba round the ring shooting sky rockets and roman candles at the mormon priesthood the twin relic and otner air drawn da daggers gers and attempting the impossible feat of ridin riding two horses democracy and liberalism at the same time while moving in diametrically opposite directions the result was as usual in such cases judge canfield of pennsylvania was then introduced and spoke a little on tariff monopoly and other political issues all the attractions having havin by this time line been brought fo forward rivard and alid there being no gentlemanly agents to pass round in the interests of a grand gra nd concert immediately at tile the close of the big show the remnant of the long suffering crowd which had sat out the dreary entertainment were permitted to re regain reain
