YESTERDAY. ~
NeVer'while thought or life or being last,
or immortality endures do the Utah people
who saw the great convention open expect
TO behold sight to equal it. Imagine au
ampitheatre Of ancient Rome or the old
coliseum in the days of its majesty and
magniheence; imagine its walls hung with
miles on miles Of flags and festoonings;
imagine Salt Lakes own tabernacle
stretched out on every side. with all its
seats, chairs instead Of benches, and all
sloping backward from the floor 70 the
edge Of the ceiling. Imagine its gallery
deepened and widened; imagine its pit
filled with just little under one thousand
of the pick and flower Of the 900, 900 voters
Of the grand old Democratic party OF the
whole United States imagine the
seats back Of them and the gal
lery above occupied by swaying thousands;
imagine nearly six hundred Of the great
newspapers Of the land represented on the
platform; imagine all the brigadier- gener-
ais OF Democratic thought and endeavor
presiding over the deliberations Of the
whole-picture all this and you will grin
some idea, but still feeble one OF the i'm
mensity OF the spectacle which we from
Utah saw at noon today.
HARD TUsoARoRA LINES.
Monday night the national committee
gave the Straight Democrats prima facie
recognition and this morning Game and
Henderson were handed the delegates
badges ana tickets and Alfales Young,
Richard w. Young aud Henry Richards
were named among the ushers; King and
Kentucky Smith were given alternate's
tickets Game had some extra privileges
as congressman, hence very fair sprinz-
ling of Titan Democrats obtained admis-
sion. Neither the Tuscarora delegates nor
members got any tickets and but for
Colonel Ferry's timely aid would have had
to pay their way.
Nothing OF interest to Utah transpired
till the roll of states was called Utah
people joined in cheers and sympathy for
Blaine and in a whirlwind of applause that
arose when Chairman Bryan called Blaine
the marshal Of the Republican party, and
said he had gone down before the bread
and butter brigade at Minneapolis.
When each state and territory was re-
ques ted to hand up names to serve as var
ious committees As the name of state
was called the disorder was such. owing to
messengers passing and repass ing, that
your correspondent lef the press seats TO
be nearer the secretary, who was shouting
out the names, ami took q place next to
Colonel Ferry, among the national com
mitteemen's seats. Professor Holden was
near him. Henry Watterson close by and
other magnates on each side. 1 asked him
who held the Utah seats. He replied the
seats were vacant. pointed out TO him
that they were occupied by two men VINO
looked unccmmonly Ike
GAME AND HENDERSON.
He grew visibly agitated at this but could
not see the Utah seats owing TO the dis
tance and his bad eye sight just then
Fred Kiesel came tearing through the
crowd Colonel" be said excitedig, 'I
have handed our names to the secretary
aud want you to come down near him and
back him up when he reads them" The
colonel answered that be didn't believe
any names from Utah would be read but
Mr. Kiesel insisted. In the meantime as
the secretary was going down the roll and
nearing U tab. Mr. Game had advanced to
the front and stood directly underneath
him on the steps. Fred Kiesel had ad-
vanced in front Of the chairman and with
amazing gall looked over the secretsry's
shoulder. No one IN the vast throng was pay
| ing any special attention as Utah was the
last name on the list and probably not ten
persons in the great assemDlage saw what
happened in the next two minutes. Chair
man Owen was chatting with Henry Wat
terson when the secretary cried s'Utah,"
the assistant secretary took up a paper he
had been reading when Mr.. Game thrust
another forward. The secretary said
Il have the Utah names here"
"No, sir, said Mr.. Game, 1--WE are the
delegates occupying seats and no one else
has any right to send in namess'
/ The assistant secretary glanced at Mr..
Gaines delegate badge and then took the
slip from his hands Shouted, Henry p
Henderson on credentials and John T.
Game on resolutions, Henderson on perma-
neut organization and Game on order OF
/ business"
/ A ripple of applause in distant part OF
the building marked the location Of loyal
Utah contingent Immediately Fred
Kiesel asked the secretary to read the
other names. Mr.. Game shouted out, Mr.
KieseI you have no right to be on this
floor, call you to order.n Had the chair
man been paying attention he would prob
ably have resented the presence of the man
on the platform who wore nothing but the
badge OF q Tuscarora, which he evidently
thought entitled him to the privileges OF
the earth. However Mr. Watterson had
the chairman's ear and when the secre-
tary said, II have two sets Of names from
Utah. the chairman Immediately said.
..Read them both,p aud Powers and
Kiesers names were shouted out, whereat
there was another ripple Of applause from
the Tuscarora end of the building and
Fred Kiesel clapped his hands like happy
school girl Immediately afterwards the
great throng broke up and the various
committees assembled in an adjoining
room.
The COMMITTEES on credentials at once ad-
ljourned till 4.sO at the Marquette house
reading rooms and at that hour the room, q
parlor about fifteen by forty feet. was
