A RECESS.
The convention then took a recess
until 2:30.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The first event after the opening of
the convention in the afternoon was an
attempt on the part Of the management
to remove The Herald man behind the
wings, out of sight. 1t failed.
The second was an attempt on the
part of the Salt Lake Gler club to sing.
It met the same fate.
Then the band played.
1t was our own DenhalterS, and the
manner in which they dished up
Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,
when Johnny Comes Marching Home
and Yankee Doodle in medley style
was terror to the Provoites. They ap-
plauded, cheered, encored, enthused.
rowled, clapped their hands and did
piaud1d somersaults. Even the chair
was enthused and classed the music as
inspiring, refreshing, enthusiastic, and
exhaustive" The latter expression is
not apropos by any means. The Den
matters did well. Yes, better than that.
succeeding the bands efforts came
the report of the committee on Gre
oentlals, which was made by Chairman
George M. Cannon.
entitled Crow and the basso pro.
tundo, John Payne, called the turn on
the nomination when he referred to
cannon as the coming man, for the
assemblage all rose up on it's rear feet
and howled.
OF course there was an encore. A
Republican convention will encore any,
thing. The glee club in response sang
My Boyhood's Happy Home Down on
the Ranch" without establishment.
Again the listeners encored. This time
it didn't go.
Silence again fell.
When it struck ground Chairman
Booth apologized for calling the sing
ers a "glee club" saying it should be
designated as d quartette. I'VE audi
ence and delegates roared approval
and Booth sat down.
Then the band played.
When the music closed the tenn
porary chairman forged to the front
and announced that the committee on
permanent organization was not ready
to report and to amuse the convention
the Salt Lake Glee club would again
sing.
The prompt action of the police in
closing the doors saved stampede
Then the boys amused the people
by singing a song entitled John
Browns Body, can you wink the other
eye" Pursuant to obedience of orders
from the chair, the club responded to
an encore and sang the fifth verse.
JUDGE BENNETT SPEAKS.
Judge C. W. Bennett was announced
as a, man who signed the first call and
found himself faced with i1uch en-
thusiasm when he strobe to the foot
lights. The judge recited the history
of the Republican party in Utah in
much the same manner as that adopted
by Chairman Crane. Utah, if she
sticks to the doctrine, promulga ted
three years ago by the little band
which planted it's germ, will loom up
as a great state. The Home Rule bill
was then picked up and dissected and
the Republican party given credit for
defeating it. The speaker did
not claim that the Republi-
can party passed the statehood bill, but
Cannon in his recent campaign raised
another storm of applause. Judge Ben
nett followed himself with an urgent
appeal for the support of the Republic
can ticket. in order that Utah's future
may be assured. The country was sick
Of tariff reform, so let us raise up and
overwhelm the opposition that we may
get place in the front rank Of the
states.
The announcement that the commit
tee on permanent organization and or
der of business was ready to report was
hailed with applause. But a call for
the chairman and secretary elected the
fact that they were last seen vending
their way to the place of meeting, and
that was all.
The Provo Glee club sang Breaking
of the Dawn" by H. S. Condor, to the
air of "Our Ain Coantree.''
Again did the crowd encore, and as
usual the boys sang an additional
verse.

Jones" club, c. Elmer, delivered some
remarks, of which the following is a
synopsis:
CHAIRMAN ALIENS ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of this convention, for the
honor shown Salt Lake county by the
selection of myself as your chairman |
thank you. In the discharge of the
duty devolving upon me 1 shall use
every endeavor to conduct this con-
vention to the best interest of the Re-
publican party and the people of Utah.
Victory is assured. All the progressive
political vitality of the country is with
us in this struggle. The Democrats
have acknowledged their error by ac-
cepting the principles advanced by
the Republican party. The Democratic
party is the party of corruption, ruled
by bosses, 1t poses as the friend of but
legislates against the people. 1t fos-
ters trusts and Clevelandism. While
