what we tan an do under the fhe peoples party the revenue pf af the territory for 1886 wasS was of this amount abou amou nt which was charged up to the collectors it was all collected within there is not another state or territory in this union that ean can make such a showing of honest taxpayers the revenue for 1887 1881 was and all this was collected within 1100 the reason this latter sum was not collected was because it was assessed upon mortgages belonging to non residents and hence not collectible lec tible in 1888 the revenue W was showing that we are steadily tut but surely increasing on a foun dation clation which proves ue to be a prosperous people applause the revenue for the past year 1889 was this is an excellent showing when I 1 compare our growing wealth and conditions with those of the opposing party I 1 find that we have more industries than they can show three or four to one the rhe peoples peopled party came to this country when a liberat Libe li beral raW could not

streets today cheers they are the people who have a right to give expression of their choice who should rule them I 1 come from a county that does not play second to any other not a dollar has gone to default not a tax sale has been made and every dollar has been wd paid into the public treasury the T n e administration of that county under the peoples party is open to I 1 inspection kopec the city of ogden wit biti i its records in the past is equally wide open just as wide as the glorious city has been open to the libertines in the past twelve months this liberal party is and has been powerful in ia boasting and bragging and fraudulent ays and in 11 tricks that are dark th they ey never lose an opportunity to perpetrate a fraud to do that which is dishonest even when the truth would answer a better purpose I 1 can see the foundation laid here for just the same scheme which they perpetrated in ogden fifty two weeks ago next monday at that time transients most of whom had never before been wit bluthe within the e corporate limits ot that city were brought in by special and regular trains taken to the polls and voted on fraudulent names cries of shame 11 but we in ogden can go one

I am interested in the growth and development of salt lake city and that is one of the main reasons why I 1 am a member of the peoples People ls party I 1 delight to be numbered among a party that can produce a club like that which has just given us such good music I 1 delight to be numbered among a party to which the great and leader who gave us the C building alding in which we are now assembled belonged I 1 rejoice to know that his memory and his deeds will live when the vile mouthed carpet who have defamed him and who say that he and those who followed him to these valleys were not a progressive people shall have packed up their car pet bags and left the country cheers we are told that the peoples peopled party are oom composed posed of a lot of moss ba baks ke and that is 18 said by the man who has come here with a gripsack containing a pair of dirty stockings alq and perchance two or three dickins dickie dic kies 8 I 1 doubt it he has even so much as a dickey dicky Pl laughter I 1 doubt if he has so much as a shirt to his back he tells us if we will turn overto alna the next city government and give him the election that he will unpack his gripsack and show us what asin it laughter I 1 ask shall we have the same kind of government that they have in ogden cries of noll nol they tell us that they are progressive how in ogden in one single year they have collected more taxes than did the peoples party in four yeats we are not dot looking for that kind of progress here and unless a city council nominated nominate dby by the liberals can show more progress than in the past they will not have any taxes to pay they tell us they are I 1 liberal if ever there was a name milsap misapplied ed on earth it ills Is that of liberal to the so called rule or ruin party who dwell in the city how are they qi liberal diberal I 1 remember some years ago two or three persons going to washington and laboring for what for the poor downtrodden down trodden women of utah to co give them the privilege of voting in order to free themselves that privilege was given iven them by a peoples party legislature legislature and these same hypocritical liberals afterwards J journeyed our to washington and said please take the right away from them now new because they dont vote for us 1 l and what was their excuse for doing so they said these women vote exactly a their husbands tell them Laugh laughter laughtee tel there is no truer saying than that the cathe men hold the reins but the women tell them where to drive the 41 liberal tells us that he is progressive and possessed of rare financial ability it was at a former period my misfortune to reside in tooele thoele and I 1 then sawa saw a practical illustration of liberal financial ability when the liberals went out of office there the place was hopelessly bankrupt and it took years to bring it out of debt again when they gained tooele thoele warrants were selling for cents on the dollar when they went out they were fetching fetching only 10 cents there is one t thing hing in which the liberals were true to their name in that county after they had gained control there what did they do we had no registration law and they stuffed the ballot boxes so full that in the town of jacob it is said one man gave the ballot box a kick exclaiming why the they make the thing bigger so as to hold more votes vote sIll laughter the advice ad vice given by the then governor was come to the polls early and come often and there were actually cast in the one precinct of jacob city more votes than there were men women and children horses and mules in the whole county laughter we have heard tonight that it became necessary for the united states stales marshal and his deputies to i interfere so as to cleanse the atmosphere of ogden in order that de cent people as they walked along the streets might not choke to death I 1 promise you the day will never come 1 in n this city or any other ruled by the peoples peopled party when such a thing will be necessary cheers walk along our streets of a night now and you hear bear from every dive and alehouse as you pass by the name of scott scott george M scott shouted out how that i gent lemans manly bosom must swell but do you hear the name of spencer clawson or r heber wells shouted from those saloons voices cc conol no Nol why because the young utah that follows them have not been reformed by such places who tells us that the peoples party are net not progressive why i some miserable specimen of a carpetbagger carpet bagger and if he pos possessed essed any ability at all there would have been no need for his coming here then when he got here if he be believed one half the lies he tells about the people he would have taken ben butlers advice ben butler is no mans fool and when he came to this city some folks got up a reception for him at the walker house wl wined ned and dined him poured their blood and thunder stories into his ears and told him that they dared hardly walk the streets for fear of their lives he could see that they were lying because they would not have been there with him if they bad not been the reply he gave was gentlemen I 1 will suggest a rei remedy nedy 1 l they all listened to him with eyes and ears wide open why said he be leave the d country there are I 1 lenty of places where you would not take your lives in your hands laughter last night I 1 am informed the liberals held a meeting in this building and among other things one man had the supreme gall to stand up and say he rejoiced that he was as the father of a bill introduced into congress to take away the lights of the people shame truly heis he is li liberal ber al 11 Hewa he was sone one of those who went down to washington told blood and thunder stories and tried to make out that he be was a perfect hero bero what did mr cannon say on that |
