Democratic convention for the Third
senatorial district was held here to-
DAY, and it was a harmonious meet
ing. Pleasure and business were
mingled in the proceedings Of the day,
spiced and enIivened by good, whole
souled Democratic enthusiasm The
result of the convention is highly
satisfactory to the party and to the
voters generally. The nominee for
senator Hon. John r. Barnes, is a
man who will run away ahead Of his
ticket.
The Proceedings.
The convention was called to order
by D. A. Sanders, chairman of the
county committee. He named Hon.
Thomas T. Roueche as temporary
chairman. and ]. G. NJ. Barnes tenn
porary secretary.
Mr.. Roueche made neat speech in
accepting the chair. He invoked
harmony in the proceedings.
Judge Mcmillan was warmly re-
ceived when he arose. His speech
was an eloquent tribute to the ladies.
He said the doctrine Of Democracy is
equality, and without striking the
shackles from our mothers, our
sisters and our sWeethearts we could
not very well say that we favor exact
equality The Democrats have carried
equal suffrage almost to q successful
issue. In our new state it will be sue
cessfUl, contamination devoutly to
be wished. He hoped to see the day
when his wife and daughters cou'd
go with him to the polls and vote Size
by side with him. That will be equal.

Judge Norrell made a happy speech
and was warmly applauded Since
the last campaign he had been laid
away, he said, like a rusty spade.
Last fall he had dug deeply into the
foundations OF Republican sophistries.
Now. after a rest he had returned
ready to attack once more the hydra
headed monster. Repuhlicanism.
Pat Larnan says that Judge Powers
has $4,000 to run this campaign
had a whisper from Judge Powers the
other day, but he didn't say that I
Will tell You this. however, we will
have everything requisite to run this
campaign in such a manner as to
reap victory. We have the Republ-
cans scared now. They are on the
run Now stand behind us and we
make a clean sweep.
The Republicans had one legislature
in Utah. o my faithful, what a
legislature it was! They passed
bounty bills, and cut down appropria-
tons for educational purposes.
The speaker paid an eloquent tri-
butte to the standard-bearer of the
Democratic party. The mere men
Tic l of the names of Rawlins and
Thatcher was sufficient to provoke a
storm of applause, which showed the
iirm hold these gentlemen have on the
hearts of their constituents.
