The Proceeding .

1t was l.lo go ny the StOp WdlCn VI
the official time keeper when w. F.
James, president, and George M. Can
non, secretary, mounted the rostrum.
1t is supposed to be rostrum, al
though any other term will do as well.
AT any rate, Mr.. James used it as such
and announced that 1.-THE Salt Lake
county would come to order" In the
language of William Nye, they came"
The convention then amused itself by
herding the various precincts together.
an easy task. with the exception Of
''the John P. Jones club" of the Fifth
precinct, which was somewhat scat
tered. Finally order was restored and
Mr.. James, in a few remarks, inform
ed the audience what it was there for
Louis Cohn, who is short-in stature
to request that the tall
delegates in front, who were standing
up, sit down. They sat.
Chairman James then resumed. The
convention, he said, met with an eye
single to the selection Of ninety-two
delegates, who would represent Salt
Lake county in the territorial conven-
ton at Provo. All of which was of an
duty character. Because"
said Mr.. James, "they will have to vote
upon candidate for delegate to con-
gress." Then Mr.. James enlarged up
on his subject and added that
the convention had an additional duty.
Excellent material must be chosen for
the territorial Republican committee.
Men of rank, station, position, inf1u-
ence and witha1 Republicans, should be
selected AS to the county committee,
all should enlbody the qualifications
enumerated, and in addition possess
which combine to create har-
mony, rest and untiring vigilance.
"See to it that this county, Salt Lake
county is dealt justly by. See to it
that no injustice is dealt out to any
county, but above all things see to it
that the people are represented, no
matter what other considerations merit
attention" Mr.. James then in
dulged in a. sort Of prediction, a. proph-
esq redundant with colors, hues, tints
and shades, anent the glorious halo
which would shed its effulgence over
the Republican party upon the "thir-
tenth" of November next, and sat
down. to rise again for the purpose of
that satisfactory state
ment from the secretary and treasurer
would be given.
SECRETARY CANNON PREDICTS.
Secretary George M. Cannon recited
that while no precinct books had been
furnished; that while reports from all
over Utah were Of a nature chiefly I'M
official, that the committee were con-
fident of carrying Salt Lake county by
a majority of from LOCO to 1900 Then
everybody swung their hats and howled
for joy. When the noise subsidized, Mr.
Cannon resumed to the effect that the
only matter requiring attention was
Republicans were apa-
thetic about registration. This had a
effect, and silence reigned
as second lieutenant for quite a while.
Noticing the effect of his defamation
Mr.. Cannon revived his auditors by
asserting that the registration was
much larger than anticipated, which
was greeted with more cheers in pianis-
simo instead of fortissimo. Reports,
concluded Mr.. Cannon, were still COM
ing in, and the outlook is very hopeful.
THE FINANCES.
Treasurer Hill succeeded Mr.. Cannon.
Mr.. Hills report was purely of a fig
urative nature and read:

The statement that nearly 5000 was
available, was greeted with prolonged
cheering, during which Mr.. Hill sat
down, while Chairman James volun-
teered the explanation that any one
wishing to satisfy themselves as to the
accuracy of these accounts could look
at the vouchers, orders and receipts,

paid out or contribution received.
More cheering was then INDUCED
in, during which Mr. James
voice was heard proceeding from the
din announcing that "the next thing
in order was the announcement of the
temporary organization" AS chairman.
Hon. George p. Squires, of Bingham,
was chosen. In presenting him to the
Mr. James edited them bv
Der of the c.. c. Goodwin Republican
club, of Bingham; and further, that of
$50 registered voters in Bingham 300
were members of that gr-r-r-rand old
party whose name is a household word
This caught the crowd, and amid a
volley of plaudits, Mr.. Squires reached
the platform to discover, while climb
ing up the steps, that his selection had
been made unanimous.
CHAIRMAN SQUIRES
Squires was brief Like Rienzi, he
came not there to talk. He thanked
the convention for the honor bestowed
upon him; said that Bingham was
known as the "Old Reliable" and would
prove such in November; that if every
precinct in the county end territory
would do the same careful work as
Bingham was doing that the next Re
