ad a love feat feast it took place in the union opera house last eight night about eight the house was probably three part parts full afew among tho the audience being of the gentler sex As the me meeting eting progressed a few more straggled in and one oi or tiro two mormons were noted among them the alt affair air was not euch such a sweeping success as might have been expected and that the loyal league and the two be Bs are not so popular in ogden as they are ard aid said to be in some other was evident from the size of the audience and the generally feeble applause when the liberal convention was held tho the house was well filled but bennett and baskin ware were not favored to that extent it is hard to give a correct ey my gopsis of what was said last night for between baskina baskins alleged witti cismas and bennetts adroit yet elo quent x speech bech tho the audience was badgered badgere Tand and while it might have formed one conclusion from the re marks of baskin who took nearly all the wind out of bennetts Ben nelta sails mails by speaking for upwards of 90 minutes that would have to be relinquished ed under the polished oratory ory of judge bennett the meeting was too long also withal it was rather a flat af affair flair the burden of the long iong of the Vs was the necessity for unity as its the report will show the meeting commenced with singing by a select choir hen Hon honah P PH H emerson acted as chairman and in a few opening remarks introduced that war horse of liberalism f R N baskin of salt lake that gentleman left his seat squared ared hie his shoulders and plunged into his subject forthwith by re ferring to tho the organization of the liberal party in 1868 and add which for a number of years thereafter probably did not consist of over members at the first contested election votes were yere polled he clai claimed med that the advance made during the time since the liberal party was organized was not so great aa as it should have been this is due to the fact that the organization was not complete while the organization which the liberal party opposes the mormon church is backed by fanaticism and has the most perfect system of any organization known sometimes the fight was a forlorn ho hope p e and no candidate was put up but bu t the party worked away and notwithstanding th standing the im imperfect organization I 1 of the liberal party it advanced well at the meeting held in the opera house in salt lake city your humie servant R N buskin baskin was selected to go to to see what could be done toward towards getting further legis lation for utah he had had experience peri pari ence in in I 1 leg el gi against utah hiting been instrumental in introducing the cullom bill a bill by the way thai would have pricked this bubble bad had it passed and was therefore eat the upa and downs of mr baskin in were detailed indeed ho he said his effi orts at one lime time looked at af if they would not be successful and if they had not how bow the church paper papers would bare have laughed at him but success came at last fait he claimed in in the arguments before the Judici judiciary committee the remit result wax was the ed munds tucker bial which mr baskin was sure would pass until he be found it had been rejected after walking 4 long way wj around mr baskin balkin reached deac hed the point when the loyal lea league 9 ue was organized orgin orga iMd nixed this organization wae was to furnish the sinews agnews of war and now since the salient features of the tucker edmunds bill were stricken out there is is more inore ne necessity casity for unity and earnest honest action this must be done or a retreat made Is there any liberal who wishes to retreat I 1 half a dozen voices of no y then gird on your armor and prepare for your waterloo I 1 the question ii is are you all united on the question this hierarchy must go there was no answer the therefore refue mr baskin took it for granted that all w reunited we ere united the idea that tbt the common foe should be fought by democrats and republicans separ artely was scouted by Pe delegate legate baskin all should put their shoulders to tho the wheel and not ask are you a dern democrat oc rat V it I 1 or are flare youa you a republican republica n baskin askin ale pleaded abed it was n not nt my fault that the tucker bill was not P passed issod I 1 was much chagrined w when hen the edmunds bill passed but we are in in no worse condition thac we were before the edmunds bill was passed and if we are what are iv we going to do about it 1 nobody had a solution of such an abstruse question and baskin continued bis his address by referring to some of the provisions of the law he said the tobe tecoa lection section makes it possible for ahe prosecuting attorney to is sue an for pr the arrest and binding over of a whom be he may want to appear appear a I 1 defendant who has not then been arestad r some other points in the law were elaborated and then baa bas kin made the startling announcement that the rain who is not satis fled bad with this edmunds lavris lawis either imperfect or in collusion with abe he mormon church jack mormons were scorched and the liberal who havo have said they did not hot like the new law particularly the test oath portion of it were scored and scathed swathed scat hed the league ie is organized organised sed aed it is a fixed fact and it ie is going to rule this territory the american part of it until the vc vio t tory ory is is won when this is i accod ewhen bibbed A division into parties can bo e made in order to gain the confidence of his hearers after diaspara disparaging ping ogden and her people baskin referred briefly to t the e prospects for a boom in ih this city indeed he compliment ed id the people of ogden for their 11 snap nap and enter enterprise he would like to seo see them go in and win ogden is giving salt lake a tough race and if the former can heat lien the latter in the matter of enterprise and from a liberal political standpoint he might make his residence reside in ogden after the hopes arc are realized after this baskin flew fiew back to his old love and harped upon the necessity n for all to give up their captions and objections and say ay the bl bill I 1 Is is a good ono one even it is is is not palatable to them the 0 organization of the league is perfect in other parts of the territory and wont the liberals of ogden ogdin join in and make it co complete 8 to here baskin then subsided a sigh of relief escaped from tho the audience and the assam assembly bly was wai favored W with ich a stirring song and chorus the chairman then introduced that eloquent and polished exponent of liberalism CW bennett who went on to prove that the fight is i not on a question of the belief of the mormons cormons Mor mons but the fact that the church arrogates to itself the right to govern the stat eThe evil will ill not be corrected at once it will take a long time therefore courage must be kept up now as to the bill said mr bennett we wanted more we had bid a prospect of getting more there were great difficulties difficult ie however and senators and cannot bo be captured by the ear or nose or by the shirt collar and made to understand tho the state of aff affairs lairs in utah it ha has been slated stated that the tucker bill did not pass pus congress because of political feelings this mr bennett stigmatized aa as false there thera is a determination from the president down to stamp this thing out but both parties are too slow the speaker gave his views of the provisions visions of tho the bill and claimed that it was wits a fr greater a t tic victory toz than many considered it F for one thing as soon as the terms of the present probate judges ex expire piro new incumbents from the ranks of the liberal party will bo be ap pointed the supposed effects of the test oath were upon and the for thorough organization was wa described in glowing terms for now an opportunity to succeed is presented mr ben speech was liberally applaud ed and major bynon announced that if any auy present pren t desired to join the league
