ADJOURNED FOR A WEEK.

Lively Meeting.

Lively Meeting.
The Republican convention for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
municipal officers and members of the
legislature met yesterday morning in
the Wasatch building. Almost from
the first it became evident to those
who were watching proceedings that
a certain faction proposed to have the
convention nominate a municipal
ticket. This was in accordance with a
deal to be made with the Liberals,
whereby the latter would agree that
no fight should be made on the legis-
lative ticket if the Republicans would
divide the Citizens strength in this
city by placing a separate ticket in
the field. At the head of this faction
were Arthur Brown and E. B. Critch-
low, while a great many leaders were
against it. The first indication of the
fight on the question came in the
morning hour, when Arthur Brown
moved that the committee on resolu-
tons be appointed by the chairman,
e. b. Critchlow- Almost Immediately
A. c. WINS of the First precinct moved
that each delegation appoint its own
committeeman. This latter motion car
ried, after some hard rubbing The adj
! journment in the evening just after a

a week, and the fact that adjourn

the parties engineering the deal have
been beaten.
IN THE MORNING.
1t was thirty-five minutes after the
| time specified in the call before the
convention was called to order by
Chairman S. J. Kenyon of the terri
torial committee After a reading of
the call E. B. Critchlow was an
nounced as the temporary chairman
and L. M. Earl as temporary secre-
tary.
When Mr.. Critchlow assumed the
chair he carried out the traditions of

of oratory upon the defenseless dele
gates before him, he warned them
emphatically of the gravity of the
duty they had been called together to
perform. The coming legislative cleo
ton, he said, was to be the most i'm
portant ever held in the territory, be-
cause since the last election the 6. O. p.
has been driven from every part Of the
government. Representing the mem
berS of the administration as vulgar
assassins, ready at any time to kill
poor defenseless home industries, he
descanted upon the necessity Of every
Republican
GIRDING UP HIS LOINS
before the country should be driven to
the 'demnation bow-wows.' Forget
ting in his heat the fact that the west
is blaming the present depression to
the depression in silver, he drew a
dreadful picture, lurid in it's details,
of the awful wreck that had been
caused by q fear that the tariff will be
taken off.
Shifting his line of battle somewhat,
he trained his artillery upon the pres
ident and his ideas in calling Congress
together in special session for a repeal
of the Sherman law. These grape and
canister were used in an attack upon
what the speaker called the president S
refusal to enforce the Geary law, and
upon the attempt of Congress to repeal
the nefarious election laws.
WAVING THE BLOODY SHIRT
in a frantic manner, he appealed to
sectional passions, and represented
that the southern members who are
working for a repeal of the bill under
which men of the Bill Davenport
stripe flourish, are plotting treason. In
fact, working UP to q grand climax
of radical Republicanisn, he said that
| the crisis now to be met is greater
than that of 1861.
At last he made a grand charge in
the matter of local conditions and
again blamed the depression on the
| Democrats and forgetting enat the
Mckinley bill is still in operation, at
| tributed the low-price and non-Sale of
wool to the low tariff ideas of the
Democrats. In his peroration he paid
a tribute to the Mckinley bill and en-
lphatically asserted that six Republi-
can representatives and three council
ors should be elected from this city.
