-publicans.
1t was a typical Republican day windy.
The agitated ozone cantered through
Judge Carey's whiskers as he followed in
the wake of the delegates who first WIS.,
tied the court house, and were afterwards
directed to the meeting place in the coun-
Gil chamber at the capitol building.
IN SESSION.
A. D. Kelley opened the convention by
reading the official call. At some remote
period there had been a central commit
tee, and consequently a chairman, but his
name has doubtless been forgotten. At
any rate it was Mr.. Kelley, the secretary,
who ofhciated as general manager, and
opened the meeting.
UINTA TO TIL FRONT.
Nominations for temporary chairman
being in order, the name of G. D. Clark,
of Evanston, was presented. He at first
declined, saying that his education in the
parliamentary line had been sadly me-
elected. F. E. Warren smilingly but
firmly informed him that a man whose
political prospects were as bright as Mr..
Clark's should proceed to familiarize him
self with the. laws OF dehberative bodies
without delay. OF course this settled it.
Mr.. Clark changed his mind and was in
stalled as temporary chairman. He made
a neat and timely speech.
Mr.. Hebard, of Laramie, was chosen to
record the proceedings Of the meeting
during its first stages.
