Afternnnn,


On re-assembling in the afternoon the
report of the committee on credentials was
read, and il was followed by roar which
could have been heard in Ogden. Certain
American gentleman had not been named
in the report, and they arose as one man
and insisted on their names being inserted.
Chairman kiesel banged away on the desk
with tin cup, but the American gentle
men would not pay any attention to him,
and for q time it looked as though the po-
lice would have to be called in to preserve
order. Finally the chairman got hot in the
collar, and at his suggestion the Salt Lake
delegation, which had done the most kick
ing, was ordered 10 retire and bring in
report Of its own.
MORE RIoTING.
Then an American gentleman from one
Of the back counties arose and registered
kick because his name had been omitted
5nd a dozes more followed his example.
''Sit down; take your Seats" yelled the
chairman.
II won't do it; 1 appeal to the house;
will be heard, sir; l am delegate" yelled
che American gentleman.
Finally Oscar Wilde Glenn caught the
ear of the chair, but he could not be heard
IN the uproar
Then E. P. Ferry who had been sent
10 grass half q dozen times, came out of his
for an opening. He succeeded in finding it
AT last and sent up resolution giving the
committee on resolutions further time to
report
Then Judge Hoge suggested that the
gentleman from Ogden vacRte in favor of
MIR. Narlan, and he also took occasion to In
form the chair that his name was H-o-g-e,
not Hog.
The chair called on Sir Oracle Varian 70
come TO the stand, and after introducing
Sir Oracle as 1.-THE great Liberal" the ex-
mayor remarked that he WAS glad to be alb
solved from the task and retired.
SIR ORACLE vARIAN,
of course, felt 1t incumbent upon him to
make a speech, and said:
Il am persuaded that upon assuming this re
sponsible duty, 1t is proper that l should sub
nit certain propositions. The Liberal or
American party is OF steady growth in these
mountains. 1t began years ago, and was born
as protest of American hearts, a protest
against those things which prevailed here TO
the shame and humiliation of American man
hood and womanhood- They united against
this common enemy, and for years were con-
fronted by the Peoples party. For years our
party made its way under many difficulties to
final triumph and victory. Shoulder 10
shoulder they marched along to fight the COM
mon foe. Early last spring we were found fac
ing the old enemy. On the eve of battle. we
found the Peoples party undivided but in the
morning We found that they had disappeared by
different paths TO assault our TANKS, and we
found them ohicered by men who had
Just before worn our uniform. On the
one side were the Democrats, on the other the
Republicans They made specious promises
but the Liberals, guided by the lamp of expe
Renee would not turn aside from the path that
had been marked out by them. They said &c
those on the other side that they were willing
10 forgive, but they had desire to forget
Applause. They asked those people to indi.
cate by their acts that they no longer thought
as they once did. When that was done the
Liberals would meet them as brothers. Those
who had deserted the Liberal party had moi
much 70 say in explanation, but they had
great deal to say in the way of accusation
They had filed the air with asinlne ALTERATION
and out Heroded Herod in calumny. He wished
that this convention would arise equal to the
occasion and state its position. They might
safely leave the deserters 10 their own refiec
tions, and he would recommend that they study
the life OF their great American prototype
Benedict Arnold. Applause. Then they
should thank God that he had fash

clearly. Above all things, he thought the con.

their rights as freemen; call attention to III,

they were enduring here. These things shouIt

A Voice-The tithing house. Laughter an
applause.
Continuing the speaker said that if an
Senator had made compact TO secure tn
