NEW QUARTERS.

AT this stage Of the proceedings, r. O..
Chambers stated that as the court room
had been found utterly inadequate to &C
commodate the crowd Walkers pavilion
had been secured and suggested that an
immediate adjournment be taken to that
place.
The announcement was greeted with ap-
plause, and the crowd formed in the street
and marched over to the pavilion. Arriving
there, Wendell Benson stated that the hall
had been secured through the courtesy of
Judge Powers, and good naIured cheers
were given for the Liberal boss, whose
little fur cap was at that moment seen
Hitting through the door.
RINGING RESOLUTIONS.
AS soon as the delegates and the i'm
mense crowd of spectators had taken their
seats, the order of business was proceeded
with, ard Governor West read the follow
ing resolutions reported by the committee:
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The Democratic party of Salt Lake city in
convention assembled while giving its respect
full consideration to the Republican party,
which 1t believes viii soon become its only
formidable adversary, recognizes that II is now
confronted by the Liberal party, dominated by
It's bosses, who are determined TO hold, by the
use of all possible means, control of the city
government, that they may dispense the city
patronage and distribute its revenues. The ac-
ton of the late Liberal convention demon
strated clearly that only those who are accept
able to the ruling clique need seek or expect
prelerment from the L beral party.
The Democratic party as at present organized
has many within Its ranks who contr buted TO
the Liberal victory of two years ago, and who
accept whatever OF blame, and are entitled to
Whatever of praise may be accorded to the pres
ent city administration The Liberal party, at
the behest OF its bosses, ter two years of
stewardship by it's chosen agents, relegates
IN
nate single one upon its general and but one
single councilman upon the precinct ticket.
In the face OF the last above recited fact, we
deem comment unnecessary upon the declara-
ton put forward by the Liberal convention,
that under Liberal rule lit claims a mighty ad-
vance and asks for the continued support of its
friends: It's opponents have no criticism to
offer. For the first time in political history the
party in power is so loved by its enemies that
they desire and are earnestly seeking at the
hands OF the legislative authority power to keep
an adverse admin Strdtionsin Office
The Democratic party, however, declares thai
! in the interest of the people and good govern
ment it favors the election bill, which was op
posed by Liberal minority and passed Demo
cratic legislature and was vetoed by Liberia
governor and that it would have preferred tC
trust the city government already estahl sheC
than to run the risk OF giving the control of tbs
city into the hands of those selected by anC
subservient to, the Liberal bosses.
We arraign the Liberal party for it's reckless
| extravaganza. not to say corrupt expenditure
OF the city finances. When it went into power
/ two years ago 1t took into It's possession over
quarter of million collars left by the proceed
ing administration, to-wit 1865 900. 1t has since
| collected from the people of the city as taxes
! about $4,000; 1t has taken in for licenses spe
| cial and privileged taxes and fines about SOL
! Coz; and finally, it has sold the c1tyS bonds Il
| the limit permitted by law, and placed tina
sum, about as -0,00J, to its credit; the whole ag
gregating each year about 81 l3 ZOO, or for tn,
! two years 81 $4,000, and of this sum only abou
| $500 now remains in the treasury We sub

The Democratic party is in favor OF an hon
est and economical administration of thu
affairs of the city.
While recognizing the Importance of the in
terest of the comfort and growth of our city, o

all monies appropriated for that purpose shall

dents, in this sense, the Democratic part,
