This matter settled the chairman
made another brief statement in which
he stated that a call had been made
for primaries on tomorrow evening. He
hoped all the silver men would attend
and assured them they would lose no
caste by attending to the work of hold
ing the primaries. It developed later
on that the chair meant all the precinct
officers whose duty it is to call the prl-
maries to order and get the wheels
working.

work should be conducted. He saw no
reason in having a silver man in
precinct where there were no McKin-
lev. men. go to the place of meeting and
sit there for three hours waiting to
elect a man to the convention at Mt.
Pleasant.
Then it was that Mr.. Eichnor issued
his defiance It wasn't exactly like the
Pogram defiance which Dickens tells
II 10 6po1oTrn6 that
attempt to stop the election of Nc
Kinley delegates to the Mount Pleas
ant convention would meet with fail
IRE. YES it would. Mr.. Eichnor talked
vigorously, so he did, and was reward
ed with a salvo of applause from the
delegate from North Point, who woke
up at this juncture, Glen Miller and
Arthur L. Thomas.
Mr.. Squires suggested the primaries
be turned over to the goldbugs and let
them conduct their own obsequies He
did not see why the silver men should
preach the funeral sermons of people
who belonged to another church
the chair volunteered the opinion
that this might be done.
Then up rose Jake Greenewald. LAS

thing. AS chairman of the First Re-
publican convention in Utah C'HeaI,

let that pass.

of the meeting that the county conn
mittee take charge OF the methods Of
sending delegates to the Independent
convention, which shall select delegates
to the state convention, called by the
provis.o committee of the silver Re
plbicans, of which Mr.. Varian is
chairman.
Mr.. Axiom, he of the football ca
pillary, arose to a point of order, and
sat down with a flea in his ear.
Mr.. Jteiser asked if the Independents
were going to nominate a separate
county ticket,
Toa Cottle wanted to know if Mr..
varian was a chairman of any pre-
cinct and acted as though he would
make an objection to unanimous con-
sent icing given, but he, too, was
frowned down and took his defeat as
gracefully as a smallpox patient would
2 dose of clabbered milk.
Mr.. Varian said the provisional COM
mittee had asked the county commit
fees to take the matter in hand and
give the great majority of the voters
