After Mr. Clunie, of California, had
made his speech cOmplimenting the
ladies of Utah, he was standing at the
door of the tabernacle and two ladies,
passing by saw him and Mr.. Lauge-
nour ''Ohl look at those sweet gentle
men from California" said one.
Decidedly the character of the con-
ference is Colonel Patrick Henry Win
ston, of Washington. He makes
strong, hashy speeches, bristling with
wit and strength. He was sauntering
around yesterday, particularly wroth
at the action of the conference in go
ing into executive session in the COM
mittee room of the council chamber.
This is a great spectacle" he said.
I'VE started in the tabernacle. It
holds 10000 people. Then we went to
the council chamber; that holds about
200. Then we went into the committee
room; that holds about 80. We may
land in some dark closet yet. If the
silver cause dwindles as rapidly as this
conference there won't be much left in
a few days" The colonel is particu-
larly anxious to so through the tenn
pie before he goes away, and some one
has suggested to him that it is first
necessary to go through the myster-
ious ceremonies of the Blue Church
lodge; but he may not want that.
