Show Springvllle's Great Eally. Judgoa Wm. H Kins and J. W. Judd went over to Springvihe laBt evening and met with the democrats in one ol the laigest and most enthusiastic enthu-siastic rallies ever held in Springville, The large Reynol Is hall was packed even the stair landings were occupied' The democratic drum corpB was out in force and in full unilorin. The lite and vigor of their playing filled the audience with responsive patriotic fire. One old veteran that beats both ends of his big drum was a picture the writer will never forget. In many of the pictuies ol battles of that noble struggle for liberty during the revolution, revolu-tion, the central hgure would be borne old filer or drummer with white flowing flow-ing hair and bare head. All around him lay the dead and dying, but they seem to be noticed not, as, with erect form, and with eyes and face beaming with the inspiration ot patriotism, he lookB forward into futurity with supreme su-preme faith that the -'bow of promise" which glows dimly in the distance ib a harbinger of victory, and whispers to him tbat the great god of battles will bring ultimate victory. And aB 1 looaed at that aged drummer las. eyening and noted the earnest enthu siasm that lit up his pale face, I coul" not help buc associate him with those old revolutionary heroes. And, as I looked over that large audience, every face beaming with intelligence and patriotism, pa-triotism, 1 only wished that those parodies par-odies on manhood that are charging "political buncomb" and insincerity to Utah democrats because of the mighty uprising againBt a series ot mighty wrongs, could have been at that meeting Their infinetisemal souIb would nave shriveled within them for their lying and intentional deception. Chairman R. A. Deal presided, intro-Produced intro-Produced Judse King who made a magnificent mag-nificent speech. Every argument waB made of best steel, driven down close and clinched in such a manner that all the wooden crow-bar sophistres, called republican arguments could not pry one ud m a hundred years. The audience laughed, cheered, and some sued tears while the judge stripped tne suoierfuges from republicans and left nini a naked monster ol greed whose professions of love for the poor man are for the purpose of robbing him by high tariff taxation and giving the proceeds to the rich and wellborn. |
