Show AT SPANISH FORK. Judge Judd Interests the People Peo-ple in a Democratic Speech. Clear, Cold Facte, Logric and Reason Prom an Able Orator Drives the Few Remaining; Remain-ing; Sparks of Republicanism From Their Minds, as Will be Proved on Monday. From Friday s Daily. Notwithstanding the heavy rain of Wednesday evening, a large crowd gathered at the City Hall to listen to one of flip linnet tv".el...a ovorlulii-ii in this part on the politicol parties. . Judge Judd was the speaker. The gentleman gen-tleman reviewed the early historv ot the country, the causes that led to the American revolution, namely nionarchial nion-archial tyrany against individual liberty. lib-erty. The establishment of our government gov-ernment and its influence then and since upon every department of human progress was faithfully explained from the pages of truthful history. The Iluuiiltonian and Jeffersonian ideas of government were introduced, their differences presented, an i their results respectively stated as clearly as i shown on canvass. An object lesson on baptism was used effectually as an illustration of partv politics expressed in action. It was truly telling. Mr. Pious Sunday School John Wan-namaker's Wan-namaker's raise of $400,000 to assist in electing Republican candidates at 'be bst presidential election was pre-:;-::led to show the fraud and corruption used by the party in power as one of their many dark means to perpetuate themselves as rulers of the American people. He went on to show that whenever when-ever the moneyed corporations have their hands upon the purse strings of the treasury the liberties of the people are in danger. Earnest language was used in describing the fraud of 1S715. when 250.000 of a popular vole and a majority of the eleitorial college declared de-clared Samuel J. Tilden elected, but through the unm incinled mid f.nil :ini wicked ambition of the thei rulins party and by its knavery and trickery the choice of the people peo-ple as expressed at the ballot box was defeates and another not the choice of the American people was foisted into office against the expressed ex-pressed Avill of a majority of enlightened free men. : The speaker then gave a clear analysis an-alysis of the infamous Lodge bill, its intendment and its fearful effect of the liberties of the people, had it once become be-come a law and then asked the interested in-terested audience which would tney prefer to trust their liberties in the hands of a few men at "Washington or in the keeping of 60,000,000 patriots. (Spanish Fork will answer that question ques-tion Monday next.) In conclusion the gentleman drew a parallel between the officers intended by the Republican party to run the machinery of the Lodge or Force bill and our very highly honored the Utah Commission, its .anti-Democratic operations, its fiearful hold on the libert ies of the people of Utah, its extraordinary powers in choosing, reg-JoLVJiJ'ra reg-JoLVJiJ'ra fViat belong to the people but of which they are now deprived ot by the Republican party. Mr. E. A. Wilson was the next speaker. Being a Spanish Fork man. born, cradled and educated here, and having been one of most prominent young men ever raised here, of course, a storm of applause greeted his name. Tie gentleman presented some telling tell-ing statistics after which he delved into in-to the great political mine with his accustomed ac-customed power. He referred to the leading minds of America in all the colleges col-leges a-id institutions of learning as being be-ing Democrats, and enumerated the progressive pro-gressive education of this and other counties of this territory as belonging to the great party of progress and human rights. Mr. William Creer closed in a neat little speech in which he referred to William II. King by comparison. Said he. "You know Booth, you know King. Have you ever seen any buffoonery in King?" The people understood. Allow me to state in conclusion that never before was the principles of Democracy so clearly, so impartially and so void of anything tending to reflect re-flect dishonor on the opposite party-presented party-presented before the people here. Vilification Vili-fication and abuse are not arguments. Get at the judgment of the people as did Judge and Wilson and you can soon make a multitude of Democrats. Prejudice, hate and wit may convert the weak and shallow to accept false doctrines, but the firm establishment of truth is achieved only by reason, truth, facts, logic and history." J. a. n.
