When Charles Crane called the eau
Gus Of the Republican delegates TO or
der last night the hand of the dial was
at 7.45 and the hand Of Bruce john
son, temporary sentinel. on the door
key.
All the Republican members were
present with the exception Of Peter
Lowe, OF Box Elder and Joel Kicks, of
Sewer: the legislative council chamber
in the Wiasatch building being Glled to
a degree where comfort was dealt out
in. small parcels
An equally large crowd was outside.
There was Jake GreenWald candidate
for 5ergeant-at-arInS L. C. Camp. the
biiputian from the Second. who wants
to be assistant to any man VINO gets
the place GreenWald is looking for;
ALT. Ehiund. who would accept a door
keepership; a. Z. Williams, who wants
the chief clerkship, and several other
people from the territory at large who
are pininS for plumes OF patronage.
Oh yesl There was Tyson, Tyson, of
the Third who came with the endorse
ment OF the Young Mems Republican
club-not in his pocket-Tyson wants
something too. L. G, Johnson and n,
b. COrser lowered around too, all
eager, anSious and e4pectant and all
Madly jealous of Bruce Johnson, who
was camping on the inside
Johnson's triumph was short lived,
however for when Crane begun his
short speech he Withdrew and the bal
dnce OF the session mounted guard out

Cranes speech was brief, and as full

is OF SaleratuS. The Republicans have
a grave duty to perform inasmuch as
the welfare of the new state of Utah
depends upon their action. That was
all Nominations for chairman OF the
caucus were in order.
Some one, to the jury unknown, nom
mated Richard Macintosh and Rich
ard was chosen by reclamation.
Similar action was taken when the
name Of J. D. Page. Of Sanpete. was
presented for secretary.
Having disposed Of this work c. S
Varian, Captain Slower, W. F, James,
Frank Pierce, the chair. John Henry
Smith and six or seven others INDUCED
in debate on the question Where are
we at how did we get here. and what
is our best method of escapew Con-
Ver5ation was Sprinting its best. when
suddenly the door opened and Tyson
mOtiOned for Crane. The chairman of
the territorial committee answered
and placing his right ear against the
doWney mouStache Of the candidate
from the Third, received the glad It'd
ingS that the Utah commission was in
session and that 1t was limited that it
would issue several commissions. This
piece of intelligence was withheld lest
1t prove. like Bill Nye's Indian woman.
too good to be true.
Finally, after all the orators had
TO select candidates for permanent Of
1cerS, but make a temporary matter
of it. With this end in view, the name
Of James N. kimbal, of ogden, was
sprung for temporary chairman. The
delegates looked aSkance at each
other, with a view perhaps Of a6cer-
tanning if any one else wanted it, but
finally declared that James should be
thus hohored-
Heber NJ. Wells. Of Salt lake, was
designated as temporary clerk and J.
T. Chidester, of GARFIELD. temporary
serseant-at-aTTns.
The name of Miss NIcNasterg was
proposed for stenographer. but was
afterward withdrawn Miss McMas-
tiers worked in Democratic headQuar-
ters last fall and also reported Joseph
F. Smiths speech at the Sixteenth
ward school house. Frank McGurrin
was selected for this place, temporarily,
Of course,
Some more debate followed on Che
manner in which the convention shall
be called to order tomorrow, for the
caucus decided TO run the works Out
OF the chaos of enunciation, articuIa-
ton and vociferation could be heard
voices advocating that Mr., Crane call
the. meeting to order and Mr.. Wells
manifesting its presence ethics were
discussed and it was decided to ride
track Heber and permit Secretary
Richards to assume that taSh.
This point settled, the order of 6usi-
ness was taken up. The result was
that the following programme was de-
Cided upon:
At II o'clock noon,
Calling convention to order
...,,.,.,.,,,. ,..,,,,.CharleS Crane
Prayer President Milford Woodruff
Boil cali..... Secretary C. C. Richards
Swearing in of delegates -
Chief Justice Merritt
Election OF temporary oficers.,.,,
...-........ ........ The Convention
That is as far as the caucus got on
order of business, for at this point
some one moved that it would be a
good thing for the caucus to appoint a.
committee to confer with a like body
from the Democratic side and call on
the secretary TO ascertain how MANY
( positions there are TO be bestowed and
also to ascertain if a Stenographer can
! be employed. This motion prevailed
and Charles Crane. Hebor III. Wells
and w F. James were chosen.
1t was decided to send Governor
! West an invitation to address tbe con-
/ vention on the opening Say.
! This being all the business the, eau
Gus could think Of. Il adjourned to
meet tomorrow at the close of the ses-
