DIAMOND DOTS.
The Bronchos saved their base-

Parvin struck out four men in
two innings. How could Austin
score?
1t looked scsry up to the sixth
inning with the score z to 0 for
Austin.
Patsy Dwyer pitched a good

Ed. Mackey, whom Jack Phelan

The attendance at Galveston yes
terday is reported at over 1900,
which means a "divy Of $1,000,
besides the grand stand receipts.
Captain Miguel Lorenzo never
says much, but what he says goes.
His work at second is also all
right, and 1t is hoped he will stay
there.
In the sixth Austin piled up
four runs on three hits and errors
by Elsey and Bulger, but that bat
ting streak Offset everything. AS
long as we can hit the ball at the
proper time, a few errors wont
hurt.

THANKS. CHEERS AND ADJOURN

Under miscellaneous business, thanks
were rendered TO the officers. Cheers
for Mckinley were followed by cheers
for Bryan.
The convention then adjourned
NOTES.
The Opera House stage was decorated
in much the same manner as was the
big silver mass meeting some weeks
ago However, pictures of Washington
and Lincoln Shades of those illustrious
mend were prominently displayed on
che side Of the stage, while Mckinley
and Hobart's physiognomies were I'M
molested on the other. Festons of bunt-
inlS and flag cloth hung from the
flies, while few choice ported plants
were set up along behind the footlights
and in the corners. A s'treamer with
the gold candidates in the center, which
had done duty on the car en- route to
Mt. Pleasant, was partially displayed
at the rear An American flag was
draped over the chair for the chairman
to sit down upon.
AS roll cali proceeded it was noticed
that several delegations from distant
counties were made up in part of prox-
les. George NJ. Cannon hailed from Gar
field, while c.. ]. S. Abels of Ogden was
spokesman for Piute.

ANGITS NJ CANNON

Then Angus NJ. Cannon arose. In
the interest of harmony he had hoped
the minority report would have been
quietly adopted. He wanted harmony
in the interest OF free coinage and pro-
lection and of the state; in the inter
ests of the sons and daughters of this
young state. Let the differences be-
tween US be settled on November 8.
Let US have harmony. 1 came here
for peace, for the first time in eleven
years come to convention. l am

ference to Mckinley and Hobart.
Mr. George w. Meyer offered the fol-
lowing: We favor the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the present
legal ratio of 1e to 1 without waiting for
the consent or cooperation of any
other nation
The amendment was seconded from
all over the house.

At the conclusion of the roll call
Judge Bagley of Weber challenged the
vote Of that county, which was not al
lowed. The chair refused 10 permit
Bagley to move to lay on the table both
reports until the vote was announced,
when he let it go. Jake Greenewald
raised point of order that the mo-
ton was not proper. but was sat on
by the chair, who told him to go to. The
motion prevailed on a rank ruling by

Cries of sroll call" fraud" ETC.,
were then heard. Whipple OF Ogden
said "the storm had subsidized; now let
it rest but Salt Lake and Weber de-
manded roll call
The chair decided that a rising vote
should be taken first. John Lucerne
Taylor objected. Il don't care whether
you object or not said Brown, set
down" Then Arthur added something
under his breath about John LUIS per-
sistency in making a spectacle of him
self, which John failed TO hear, and
thus bloodshed was averted.
The motion prevailed according to
the chair. Lindsay Rogers and George
NJ Cannon fled q protest, and a Wig
orous one. They claimed that less than
one-half voted for the motion to lay
upon the table, and a roll call should
be had.
But Brown decided the motion was
carried, and so ruled. Then George NJ.
Cannon and George w. Meyer chal-
lenged the vote, and then the McKin-
ley men howled and sfrieked. Meyer
was cried down. The chair was sus-
tanned in his ruling, but finally yielded
to the demand for rod call

ANOTHER FOREMAN QUESTION.
Judge Foreman asked Mr. Cannon if
Mr.. Ho2brook would abide by the de-
cision of the convention, to which Mr.
Cannon replied that he could not say;
he was not his spokesman.
ROGERS FLOPS.
Lindsay Rogers made a ten minute
address, in which he favored the claims
of George Sutherland. He classed the
convention at Salt Lake as one calcu-
lated to forestaii this one. If Hol-
brook will Withdraw. Booth will with
draw. He nominated George Suther-

The motion to ballot prevailed, and

il which he took the ground that it
would be unbecoming to strike out the
names of the goldbug nominees.
DELEGATE DALLIN.
Delegate Da1lin, who claims distinc-
ton by reason of being the father of
c. e. Dallin, the sculptor, spoke at some
length in favor of adopting the plat
form, Mckinley and all. He didn't
want to stultify himself by going back
on his action at Mt Pleasant. The
convention met to emphasize the prin-
ciples of the Republican party and the
st. Louis platform was what he wanted
to stand on. He wanted harmony on
the Mt. Pleasant plan.
LINDSAY BOBS UP.
Lindsay Rogers declared no man in
Utah excelled him in his admiration for,
or loyalty to Mr.. Mckinley. But they
had met, not to nominate a candidate
for president, but a congressman. He
believed if Mckinley himself could be

A VOICE FROM sANPETE.

Sanpete county, by W. D.6Livingstone,
urged the adoption of the majority re-
port, mot THAI it loved Mckinley less,
but it's party mere" He believed
this action would be the killing of the
fatted calf for the returning prodigal.
w. G. Van Horn said that however
regretable it might be, there was a diff
ference in the Republican party. He
was a southern Republican from baby
hood. CHEERS for the baby.) Like others
who have devoted a life service to the
organization, he stood apart from some
members and acted with those who be-
lieved the Republican party had not
kept its promises relating 60 the money
question. But they wanted the party to
have a chance to correct the wrong.
The first step in this direction is the
nomination of congressman. you
cannot force us to support Mckinley
and Hobart, and you cannot force US
to abandon our convictions. We feel
that though the flesh of the party may
slough off, the skeleton will remain for
US to build upon. For Gods sake do not
wreck our chances and yours by any
hasty action, but let US unite with you
on this common question"
JOHN LII TAYLOR.
John Lucerne Taylor made a speech.
He thought he was coming to a Repub-
lican convention and found an anomaly.
He stood for the st. Louis platform.
prolonged hissing)
This raised Johns ire and he Incl
dentally referred to the fact that he
was made a Republican on the CORY
plains of forty battlefields. From
thence on Lucerne's remarks were OF a
rambling nature, being intended, doubt
less to advocate the minority report,
although the audience did not seem to
comprehend.
John Lu started to relate his biog-
raphy, but was called to order by the
chair at the suggestion Of McKaig, of
Salt Lake. He was finally permitted to
continue and announced that If the
majority report was adopted he would
bolt. Then he quit.
KIMBALL, OF OGDEN.
Judge Kimball, of Ogden, didn't be-
lieve in trailing the name Of McKin-
ley and Hobart in the dust If the con-
veniion wasn't going to support them,
turn the same into Bryan club.
(CheerS.) If harmony was wanted why
not have the silver men concede some
thing? If the minority report could
notJbe adopted why not permit the en-
tire platform to go by default? (Mc-
Kinley cheers.)
PREVIOUS QUESTION.
George w. Meyer moved the previous
question, which prevailed. The major
ity report was defeated on the viva
Voce vo'te and division was called
for.
During the preparation of the ballot
a, row occurred over the taking of this
ballot in the Salt Lake delegation,
Charlie Crane and John Lu Taylor Civ
ing correct imitation OF a team of
iackasses, both claiming the right TO
vote on recalled proxies. which privilege
was denied them.
The motion failed on the following
roll call vote.

A ROW.


During the taking OF the ballot
disgraceful row occurred. Box Elder
held its vote and when Lindsay Rogers
saw it held the balance of power he
rushed over and attempted to bulldoze
the delegates into voting for Booth.
Ben Stewart of Salt Lake cracked him
on the noggin with q, cane, and a po-
iceElan rushed in.
Put him out" howled a hundred
voices.
Mr.. Policeman, sit down. yelled
the chair. 1.-THE sergeant-at-arms will
see that the police are kept orderly"
you get olH of here" said Goodsell.
Don't have to-" said the copper.
"Then l will throw you OUT re-
piled the doughty ergeant-at-arms.

The policeman saw discretion was
the better part Of valor, and fed.
The chair then announced the vote.

HUsTLING FOR HoLBRooK.

During the interval which elapsed

the supporters of Bolbrook had badges
printed for distribution. A counter
movement was. started by the friends

white ribbon with his name emb-azon-

An through the recess a feeling Of

happy by the announcement that Ar
