Jacobsen. He edits the Progress down
in Willard county. 1t is the
hottest, warmest, most tropical paper
west of any place. In winter the sub
scribers don't buy any COAL No matter
how low the mercury may be on Janu-
airy 18th of any year, all the Progress
reader has to do to keep warm is drink
an ice cream soda and get into a linen
buster.
Jacobsen was present.
His presence was felt, or rather heard,
because Jacobsen did some talking.
THE SICKENING DETAILS.
The convention was called to order
at 2:143z by James Thompson who, I'M
assisted, read the call. Succeeding the
reading, Letcher, of Summit county,
land D. R. Davis, of Weber, were APP
pointed temporary chairman and sec
rotary. The chair said he was no
speaker, an assertion which passed un-
controverted.
Davis also pleaded guilty.
Then a squab bile began over the num-
Der of members which should go to
make up the committee on credentials.
One Salt Lake delegate moved the ap-
pointment of one from each precinct
and two from the county at large. 1t
took fifteen minutes of Captain Sny-
der's eloquence to explain that the
meeting was a territorial affair and not
la Salt Lake county proceeding.
Some delegate fired a motion at the
chair which suggested that three COM
mittees of seven each be appointed on
credentials, permanent organization
and order of business and resolutions.
This was objected to on the ground that
it would take all the delegates to fill
the positions.
1t was finally decided to compromise
by making the resolutions committee
seven in number, the others three.
After the chair had announced "dat
he didn't know desc delegates" various
and Sundry representatives nominated
themselves on the several committees.
Delegate Alvord, of Beaver, addressed
the remainder of the convention. He
was proud, according to statement, to
speak. Prouder than Ii Hung Chang
of his three-eyed peacock feather. 1t
doesn't take a sage or a sage-hen to
discern the fact that the Democratic
party is hollow and the Republicans a
delusion and a snare. The Populist
party was created to fill a long-felt
want. Alvord then unloaded a battery
of figures so numerically strong in
character that the janitor turned on
the heating apparatus He closed his
speech in the middle of 357 900, 000, 0O0,-
600, 900 dollars.

H. L. Gaud pronounced God by all
who used the nance made an address,
According to his remarks this country
is full of tramps, hired men, men out
of work, prunes, dried apples and
Limburger.
That's all.
STUBBS TO THE FRONT.
Loud cries for "Stubbs" went up.
Stubs responded. AS matter of fact
Stubs always responds. John said he
came not to talk, but listen, This
declaration SO. affected the janitor
that he cut off the heat. John
declared that the Democratic party
was responsible for every i'll affecting
the body polite including tic doloreaux,
measles, mumps, seven year itch and
Pears SOAP At this point the COM
mittee on permanent organization ap-
peared and John sat down.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
DR.. Hasbrouck was named for per-
rotary.
This done the officers named took
their seats and a young man of medium
height informed the convention that he
had opened a news stand at 80 West
Second South, where The Herald could
be obtained at the usual rates.
George Shell occupied the platform
for fifteen minutes in bidding the dele
gates welcome TO our shores" DR..
Shores, Shores & Shores, and Shores.
