Show THAT SALEM ITEM "The School Teacher" Gets on His Ear. He Says Ha "Will Always Fire Back Whenever an Egotist Attempts to Taka a Shot at Him. From Sunuuy'3 Daily. SALEM. Will you please publish the following, which is the outgrov. th of an item published pub-lished in the Lmiiiirer of the luth fust., ueaded, "Republicans in Salem," and signed " Augustus," who, I suppose, vas aadiamed to sign his real name. Tbe article was an attack upon your humble servant. 1 am certain it'was one of the speakers or one of the company com-pany that visaed us who wrote the item, and, therefore, in defense of myself my-self and friend, will reply. They termeil it '"An enthusiastic meeting.'1 It is no trouble tor people to vary from the truth in the newspapers news-papers when they can go So far around vvuile addressing intelligent citizens, vv'e will take their report lor what it is worth, after examining it carefully. Of course, men of that type who penued the above will not hesitate to stoop to any tiling, even to utter base falsehoods. '"ChangeaLle men'' are uot to be relied upon if they are progressive pro-gressive and so intelligent as they as-oert. as-oert. As to the meeting and reoort, iliey did have a full house, but mostly Democrats, as it was undet stood to be a meeting ot tiicir political faith. "Augustus"' speaks of the euthusi-asm euthusi-asm ! Let us see. Out oi the two hun oied peroons present Uieir must Lave OetU six lo BlnttA, Hvpabtieunil vlo made all the noise, and lrom whom the "rounds of applause" came. Of course, the few among so many Republicans, spoken ot by "Augustus" m nis report, had to make a great Stamping and shouting to encourage their speakers, and to make it appear enthusiastic. Is it possible, 1 would ask, that men of iu telligeuce would applaud speakers who did nothing but call mem anything but white meu? Oh, I tell you, the Democrats got it served up in shape. The second speaker tried to be eloquent, elo-quent, and 1 believe lie really thought he was. Ile just called Democrats everything trom a crazy man to a Hot-entot. Hot-entot. Ile said they were non-progressive, never-changeable, opposed f, free schools, and wanted to make sl-of sl-of men. Bosh I He made a gre'r u, r fizzle.

With great gusto he said : My fellow citizens: Since tiie Mormons Mor-mons have yielded to our (the Liberal) demands, which we have worked so untiringly un-tiringly and unceasingly for, and lor which I have worked so hard, thank God, it has come, and 1 can see my desires de-sires accomplished. Having accomplished accom-plished this,"l have thought it mv important im-portant duty to leave my old party and unite with one of thv' g.-ent national parties (Republicanism) a party which will redeem our country and save the government." the first part of his speech, wherein he said, '-Since the Mormons have yielded to our demands,7 just killed his influence before his listeners. It was here that the school-teacher had his feelings disturbed, and for which lie received the scoring in the item. If every man in that house had given vent to his feeling, the "great I" would have heard the greatest thunder of -'lUtts' Jiati!" that ever his Liberal ears had met with; but all, excepting the "bulldozing "bull-dozing school-teacher." as they pleased to term him, remained silent. I am sorry I ruffled the feelings of any man. but it was more than ordinary men" could stand, and everybody piesentex-pressed piesentex-pressed themselves as being insulted by the inappropriate remarks made. As for Mr. King making so many Re- i publicans while here, as stated in the ' Enquirer, he hasn't been here vet. j In conclusion, 1 will sav that the spouters disgusted men that were favorable, fav-orable, and several came to me at the ctose of the meeting to be enrolled as Democrats. I do not wish to indulge in personalities, personali-ties, but if I am fired at. 1 will return the fire. R. J. Ni;tt,vll. (The teacher referred to.) SAXTAOflN". We had a way-up Democratic meeting meet-ing last evening. Judge Kellogg was the first speaker, making some line points in favor of Democratic principles. prin-ciples. Ex-Representative William Creer gave some of his own knowledge as to wages being higher and clothes being cheaper before the Republicans came into power than they were now. This being the reyevse to Republican doctrine. Then came forward J. D. Irvine who gave us some more sound doctrine Judging from the applause the speakers receiveu from time to time, and more especially Judge Kellogg, the audience was well pleased with the remarks that were made. We then elected four delegate? to the i County Convention to be held tiie 18th at Provo, the result being as follows: T. B. Iluiis. O. F. MaimVrg. Levi j Openshaw and C. Frank. To let your readers judsre as to whether the Democrats will cany Santaquin or not in August I give you the following figures; Our Democratic club ambers 70, and they j constitute (as Democrats always do) the : most educated and best men of our town. The Republican club is about 10 in number. This leaves about 41 registered voters that are not enrolled in either club, and nianv of these are sound Democrats. Our r.ext election will stand,-Democrats 85, Republicans about 15, Liberals 8. The coming election will be doubly interesting as we will vote for live; trustees for our town corporation. This will be a citizens ticket com posetU v3 DelUot'llits, 1 Republican and 1: Liberal. Then the justice of the peace and constable will be elected. Botbt these offices w ill be elected on purtr lines. Add to these the county nfiices and members of the Legislature and the first Monday in August will be an j interesting day. Dkm. LAKE Yl2W. On Thursday evening, lfitlj inst., a lar-e number of ladies and gentlemen assembled in the Lake View south, school house to hear the Democratic: expounders, who were appointed to meet with the people on the above; mentioned date.
