had no such promises to make, for if his
reputation did not extend so far, it would
be useless for him TO make any promises
On that subject.
ASSESSOR AND COLLECTOR.
The chairman called for nominations for
assessor and collector, and J. H. Hamilton,
IN very neat speech, placed in nomination
u. w. Snow. This nomination evidently
hit the convention hard, as did Mr.. Hamil-

choice of the delegates, a certain man
named Leonard would realize that it was
still winter and he would be showed under
He was followed by MIR. Timmony and e.
A: Smith and reference to old Balmaceda
Cute took the convention by storm
Inc endorsements were closed by Edgar
Angel, who made a ringing address in
support OF the candidate.
MIR. Snow was nomin ated by reclamation
and was promptly called out by the con-
vention. On taking the platform he said
that he sincerely appreciated the honor
conferred upon him, and if elected, would
promise to discharge his duties to the best
of his ability.
NoMINATIoNs FOR CITY MARSHAL
were next in order and v. A. Hodges
said: 81 desire to nominate for this posi-
ton that noblest Roman of them all, j. b.
Timmony.n
That gentleman promptly arose and said
that while he appreciated the honor he
must positively withdraw. He was not in
this fight. While he had as good an opinion
OF himself as the average man, yet there
were reasons why his name should not go
before the convention. The First precinct
had been very kindly dealt with, and he
must withdraw his name.
Judge Sutherland next took the platform
and said: l desire to propose gentleman
for this office, and if there is to be fight
Tor 1t, he is the man to take part in it. This
convention has commenced well. 1t seems
to be the intention to put in nomination
men who will win in this election. The man
named for marshal should be no exception
The gentleman | shall name is not poll
tlclap, and has not sought this important
office, which concerns the safety of the
community. We want no more hold-ups
and burglaries in this town. Applause.
THIS office is perhaps as important as any
now to be filled. We own 1t to our credit
as well governed city, to have a
good marshal to look after the peace
and morals here. This gentleman has had
some experience in making arrests and
that sort of work, and everything in his
career will commend him to you. He is
first man second DEM crst. His name
is John b. Cummock. Applause.
Mr.. Mayne, in brief address placed in
nomination G. M. Ottinger.
William Fuller then mounted the plat
form and said he agreed with Judge
Sutherland, that this Office was a most i'm
portant one. The record of crime in this
city for the past two years was a disgrace
full page in its history, and it gave him
pleasure to name man who ran for the Of
fee two years ago, Gilbert A. Mclean
Applause.
A Il. Schroeder said that among those
in the Liberia party were many men who
we're dissatisfied with the nominations
made by their party, and with the men
who ran the machine To them the nomi-
nation of Gilbert Mclean would appeal
strongly, and would doubtless draw
| strength from that party. He therefore
seconded the nomination of that gentle
man.
Alfales Young made rousing speech in
support of Mr.. Cummock, and took occa-
sion to refer 10 that geateman's honorable
conduct while q member of the Wyoming
legislature, and 80 police officer of this
city, and as deputy sheriff Of Salt Lake
city.
James Maxwell seconded the nomination
of G. M Ottinger, whom he characterized
as a man and hero.
Simon Bamoerger said the convention
had already honored him in nominating Mr.
Snow, as he expected to 90 on that gentle
mans bond. daughter and applause) AS
had been stated, Mr.. Snow had been en-
ployed by some of the greatest corpora
lions Of the world. He had been in the
employ OF the Sanpete Valley railway

employed by the Rio Grande Western and
other companies. Now the man who is my
choice for the position of marshal is rail
road man, and one who will do his duty to
the letter. l second the nomination of
Gilbert Mclean. (Applause)
