Report of Proceedings.

The delegates from Salt Lake and the
south boarded the special train at
o'clock yesterday morning, for Park
City over the Utah Central and the
Union Pacific. Arriving at Ogden
another car was added bearing the
Weber County and adjacent delega-
tons and the Ogden Cornet Band. The
car was decorated with streamers on
either side with the words, Delegates
to the Liberal Convention of Weber
County," and on the engine was placed
flags with the notices mo taxation
without representation, and on the
other side, United we stand, divided
we fall" After leaving Ogden strange
fatality appeared to be following in the
wake of the Liberal delegations. The
first encounter was with cow that
thought that she would take advantage
of the liberal offer to bs repre-
sented at the convention. She
mounted as high as the flag and
plucked it from its station but
she fell off, to her sorrow, and did not
succeed IN getting representation,
though taxable. When opposite the
DEVILS Slide cylinder head blew out OF
the engine. causing another delay.
Another engine was attached at Echo
and all went serene, pulling into Park
City at 1890. Caucusses were held by
the various delegates while en- route
and all had settled how their vote would
be cast.
The streets were decorated with flags
and the Opera House was han isomely
arranged for the reception of the dele
gates On each side of,the room were such
notices as, "'Out of the tolls, Sum
NIT County, next Weber and Salt Lake."
First obedience to the laws, then
Statehood" "Summit County promises
300 majority TO the Liberal candidate to
Congress" and Liberal plank-united
we stand, divided we fall.' Over the
stage was a streamer with the device,
Welcome to the Liberal Gibraltar"
and on each end a pedicile with the
Liberal vote of the different years.
Upon marching into the hall, headed
by the band, the meeting was called to
order by E. P. Ferry, of Park City, who
