The report Of thu committee has
ing been read, a motion to adopt was
made, when Judge Mcbride desired
that the proxies to the convention
should be so represented on the re-
port. DR.. Taggart said he thought
the matter had been left TO the COM
mittee on credentials, to which Judge
Mcbride said he was not contesting
any persons right to a seat, but
wanted the matter spread on
the minutes.
The amendment being put, a divi-
sion was called, and the amendment
lost. The original motion was then
adopted.
A committee of three on perma-
nent organization was then ordered
appointed; also a committee On reso-
Iutions.
Judge McBridge offered the follow.
ing resolution, and moved its refer.
ence to the committee on reso'u-
tons:
Whereas, The republican territorial
central committee for Utah met on s.
regular call from its chairman on the Sd
Of April last, and after carefully consid-
sring its action, chose delegates to repre-
sent the republicans of U .ah in the ma
.ional convention at Chicago in June
next, and,
Whereas, The call for this convention
was made by private citizens, and with
1ut authority, snd,
Whereas, ANY attempt by this con-
7ention to choose delegates to the ma
.ional convention would be irregular and
introduce an unwise and unnecessary
contest into the national convention,
therefore,
ReSoIUed, That this convention deem
it inexpedient to take any action in re-
gard to choosing delegates to the national
efublicSn convention.
a motion by B. ". Morgan to lay
the resolution on tie table was put
and carried.
Mr.. Human moved the appoint
meDt OF g territorial central commit
tee, but little discussion following
as to the regularity of the motion, 1t
was Withdrawn.
The chair then appointed as COM
mittee on permanent organization,
W. l. Snyder, ]. HinmsD, and ]. r.
and on resolutions, D. w.
Felshaw, G. W. Emerson. Jas. 6.
Brown, L. f. Gerrish, and W. s.
Mccormick.
Different motions to adjourn till !,
2 and s o'clock we're put and that to
at l O'Clock carried.
The convention was called 10 order
at the appointed hour. when Mr..
Snyder, from the committee on per.
manent organization, reported the
following officers: Colonel E. Sells,
president; D. w. Felshaw, vice presi-
dent; A. G. Sutherland, secretary;
MsjOr James F. Bradley, assistant
James E. Bromley, SER
geant-at arms a. S. Patterson,

DR., Taggart then moved the sp-
pointn ent Of a committee of FIVE to
nominate a territorial central COM
mittee. Mr.. Morgan moved an
amendment, that the chair be In
to appoint the committee at
It's leisure.
On this motion Judge Mcbride
spoke. He was opposed to it, as
there was already a central commit
tee. This was simply an attempt to
reorganlzs the republican party; it
was q rebellion. He had never cup
pcsed the party had become so bad
that it could not be purged of ini-
Guilty. The convention was proiessed
10 be called in opposition to the one
man power, and yet this convention
proposed to be guilty of the same
thing, by leaving the whole appoint
ing power in The hands OF one man.
He was opposed to it how
ever patriotic that man might
be. The proposition is now
to reorgsniZe new party.
The acton of the GENITAL committee
which this convention las been ca led
to repudiate, has never been quee-
toned. No person had ever called
