to call the convention to order precisely
at II o'clock the hour set in the call
for converting the convention.
The judge said: The hour having ar
rived at which the convention is to
convene, 1 now call you to order In
addition to my plain duty of calling the
convention to order l wish to make
some announcements
Judge Powers then announced the
places at which the committees would
meet when appointed, and that the dele
gates from the senatorial districts would
meet during recess and nominate can
didates for the state senate
Judge Powers then took occasion to
say:
In calling this convention to order

vention for meeting in Provo City, the
garden spot of Utah. Provo is a mas

mated here and defeated Mr. Cannon.
Two years later Mr.. Cannon was nomi-
mated here and defeated Mr.. Rawlins. .
Mr.. Raw1ins' popularity in the party
was evidenced by a storm of applause
at the first mention of his name Wait
ing for the applause TO subside. Mr.
Powers concluded:
1T may be expected that the con-
gressional candidate nominated here to-
day will easily defeat the nominee of
that harmonious party which believes
in free silver and gold, Bryan and Nc
Kiniey." The last remark pleased the
delegates, who applauded warmly. after

The two officers were given a warm
reception after which Mr.. Thurman be-
gan his address. He said:
In behalf of Utah county / wish to
thank you, ladies and gentlemen of the
convention, for the distinguished honor
you have conferred upon me, and
though I am not mayor of the city, and
possessed of the rights to assume his
duties, yet 1 know his feelings and be-
ieve l may be permitted to extend to
you the freedom of Provo City.
I'VE meet here today in the midst of
a. great revolution, a political revolu-
ton which is sweeping the land in
which we live. l see before me men
whom 1 have never before found seat
ed in a Democratic convention. They
are the men who were the better class
of our friends, the enemy, and who
have grasped the situation and taken
their stand on the side of the people in
this great struggle of the weak against
the strong, a struggle in which the
money power is contending against all
that is grand and good and all that
we love.
when 1 went into the county con-
vention at Springville few days ago,
l saw standing side by side ON the plat
form, pictures of Abraham Lincoln,
George Washington and William j.
Bryan" At the mention of the latter
name the convention broke into a wild
cheer which lasted several minutes.
Continuing Mr.. Thurman said: 81

vention to see the picture of Grover

ticket.
The convention yesterday was a sue
cess from all points of view. Its per-
sonnet was of the best; its elaboration

will go down in the political chronology
of the future as the greatest meeting
held in Utah.
The train from the north brought
down the delegations from Weber, Da-
Wis, Cache, Morgan and Rich, accom-
panied by two drum corps. The dele
cations were plentifully sprinkled with
ladies, all OF whom were enthusiastic
over the trip. The Ogden delegation
wore neat badges and made a hand
some appearance.
The greetings at Salt Lake being
ended, the delegation boarded the train
ait S:45 and the trip began. The run was
unevenfful, from a railroad point of
view, the trip being made in good
time.
AT every station large crowds greeted
the delegations with cheers for Bryan
and silver. At Murray and Sandy the
smelter employees turned out en- masse
and cheered the Democratic train and
its big silver dollar.
Upon arriving at Provo the visiting
delegations were met at the depot by
the Utah county Democracy and the
members from the south. Headed by
the Provo military band the delegates
paraded to the opera house.
The stage was handsomely decorated

FOR CONGRESSMAN
Judge William H. King.

The above is the ticket nominated at
Provo yesterday and under the emblem
Of DEMO- raey "a thoroughbred rooster,
in defiant attitude" it will be voted to
victory on November 5.
1t was a great convention, too; per-
haps the greatest ever held in Utah,
maybe the greatest which will ever be
held in this new commonwealth. Every
delegate present was actuated by de-
sire TO do something for the good of
the nation and his own state.
And to a certain extent local party
lines vanished. While the electors cho-

hut one of them is a member of che

Lawrence being a Populist and John
/. DAILY being formerly Republican.
But all are for the cause SO dear to
the hearts of the common people; the
rehabilitation of silver.
There was a strong feeling in favor
of the selection Of Richard Macintosh,
but when the news came that Mr.. DAILY
was the favorite Of the Bryan Re-
publicans. Mr.. DAILY was selected.
A report of the convention would be
incomplete. The Herald would not be
doing justice to itself. the delegates or
to the gentleman himself, if a reference
was not made TO the patriotic, generous
and manly action of Fisher S. Harris.
The records of other conventions may
be searched but nowhere among the
archives which form the history of po-
liaical parties win there be found a
parallel to his conduct yesterday after
noon.
Mr.. Harris was nominated for Dresi-
Dental eiector on the first ballot, re-
ceiving sos votes, the second on the list
The advocates OF the policy OF selecting
& silver Republican for one of the cleo
tors, who had divided on Mr.. DAILY and
Mr.. Mack.ntosh, were disappointed and
8, wave Of regret surged across the
convention. All realized that a mistake
had been made and felt that it was too
late to correct it.
But Harris was equal to the emer-
gency. In one Of the most mastery
addresses ever heard in a convention,
IN a speech fired with the conscious
ness that be was performing a sacred
duty, every sentence a gem of Thought

Never before in any convention in

LATE IN ASSEMBLING.

Following custom established during
the era of our clothesline ancestors and
at a time when the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary, the dele
gates were slow in assembling.
Ten o'clock was the hour named in
the cali for converting, but it was an
hour later when order was created out
of chaos and the hum of conversation
quoted sufficiently To enable the con-
vention to proceed without Interrupt
ton.
A glance over the house showed that
the convention was a gathering of pub
lic-spirited and represe ntative citizens,
who, in answering the call, had subor-
dinated partisanship to principle. 1t
was a meeting of protestation of hith-
erto bitter partisans. assembled be
cause, in their opinion, the national
platform of their party repudiated the
promises of the past and arrayed it
self on the side of the classes and
against the masses.
Enthusiasm reigned supreme through
out the entire proceedings, and every
delegate seemed to feel the honor of his
position.
