port adopted seriatun1.
In the midst of this Mr.. c. q. Allen
was heard appealing to Mr.. Chair
man" He declared Morris was wrong.
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
elected chairmen in state convention.
The chair cut Morris off in an expla-
nation by stating Daveler's motion
which was lost by an overwhelming
vote.
the report decreasing the <lumber of
the committee was debated at Eome
length and lost.
Charlie Bell wanted the amendment
leaving the selection of delegates to
the judicial and state conventions
to the wards instead of to the pre-
cincts as recommended.
Mr.. McCallum explained that accord
ing to figures given by the territorial
committee on the basis of one delegate
to forty votes, this could not be done
1t was the best that could be done and
was the faireSt proposition for the
county and city delegates.
Joe Lippman raised his voice in sup
port of McCallum's position and read a
whole lot of figures in support OF his
proposition.
Despite this battery of numerals Bell
maintained his theory. He was sup
ported by C. E. Allen, who cited the
Glorious Fifth's arrangement by wards
as an example.
McCallum, Bell and others fired
battery of questions at each other I'M
til Daveler, who was apparently lead
ing a forlorn hope, howled for wards.
The question was then put and the
convention decided to change the
wording and Daveler scored an ap-
parent victory.
This was short lived, however, for
the chair decided the report must be
referred back to the committee for a
report on a basis of representation for
each ward.
A Bad TangIe.
Matters were now in pretty tangle.
Joe Lippman called attention to the
fact that the figures published by the
county committee were all wrong, and
as a result the representation would be
incorrect.
A. S. Martin contended that there
was no vote by wards and it was i'm
possible to arrive, at conclusion on
that basis.
Mr.. Critchlow suggested that the
convention reconsider its action and
the judicial and state conventions be
permitted to settle the difficulty by
fixing the representation.
The Oquirrhites Win Hands Down.
The obdurate Bell wanted TO talk,
but the chair cut him off by deciding
him out of order on an appeal from
Barlow Ferguson.
The motion to reconsider carried
and the report was adopted.
Pending a vote one delegate persist
ed in rising and speaking.
Mr.. Nye sharply reminded the con-
To- Ill
Il object to the secretary lecturing
this convention said McCallum. The
convention is in the hands of the
chairman"
Varian Appears.
Amid cries of "Varian," ''Varian,"
Charles S. took his position as chair
man.
His speech was brief He urged har-
mony in deliberation on the eve of an
important, perhaps the most impor-
| tant election which has ever taken
place or ever will in Utah.
Representing the great principles of
a great party which has controlled and
will soon resume control of the gov
eminent, we have many things to re-
member and many to do.
We must remember the attitude of
the Democratic party on industries and
finance. Assuming to be the champion
of labor and the industries of this
continent it has brought both to the
lowest ebb. Through it's mismanage-
ment we find the laboring element
starved and wandering through this
country seeking relief. They were met
with the bayonet and these barefooted
men who Steppen on the grass at the
national capital were thrown in prison.
In Utah the representatives of gov
eminent with the Calling gun stopped
the march of free people.
AS a champion of silver in 1892 it
placed a pronounced gold nan at the
head of the ticket. In Kentucky it has
placed champion of silver on a gold
platform. In Ohio a. gold man on a
gold platform and in Maryland the
same. Yet in Utah we are told that
this party is the party of oliver while
here the representatives of Democracy
by indirect means is supporting its pol
icy on the financial proposition.
The Republican party Is the party of
progression. Sooner or later it will
take up the silver question to sue
cessful finish. You cannot work out
side of the two great parties and it is
the duty of the people, men and Wo-
men, to organize for this fight.
The Republican party is the party
which has redeemed its promises. 1t is
a party of free thought. 1t stamps out
no individuality and its members are
not compelled to forego opinions hon
estly believed in.
The Democrats claim the credit of
Woman's suffrage in Utah In Demo-
cratic southern states where that party
has been IN power for 100 years there is
no thought Of elevating woman. But
Republican Colorado, Republican Wvo-
ming and Republican Utah have placed
her where she belongs.
We are on the eve of an important
election. We have secured Congress,
the senate is coming and next year the
people of the United States will see
that the chief magistrate is elected
who will be in accord with both
houses.
This convention may be deciding the
political complexion of the senate.
Salt Lake county is Republican Utah
is Republican. let there be no mis-
take made. The good of the party is
at stake. Personal ambitions must not
be subserved in our action
We must not, we will not drag down
the party by any unworthy motive or
candidate
Let us go forth in the confidence of
having done the best we could.

end that 10 heartburnings or jealous

At the conclusion of his remarks the
