| Chairman o. w. Powers, of the
Democratic state central committee,
issued the following call for a judicial
convention for the Fourth judicial dis
trict:
Democratic Judicial Convention Fourth
judicial District
A Democratic judicial convention,
for the purpose of nominating &. candi-
date for judge of the Fourth judicial
district, comprising the counties Of
Utah, Uintah and Wasatch, and to
transact such other business as may
properly come before the convention,
will be held at the city of Provo, on
Wednesday, the 23rd day of Septem-
Der, 1896, at Il o'clock noon. The basis
of representation from the several
counties will be the same as that of the
Democratic judicial convention for
said district IN 1895. The county con-
ventions of the several counties of said
district, called to elect delegates to the
Democratic state convention, will also
elect delegates to the judicial conven-
ton and the several county committees
should incorporate this fact in their
calls.
This call is made by the Democratic
state committee for the reason that
there is no Democratic judicial district
committee for said district
o. w. POWERS,
Chairman Democratic State Committee.
E. A. M'DANIEL,
Secretary.
Judge Powers also sent out a COM
| munication to county committees,
calling attention to the fact that sena-
torial conventions will have to be held,
and offering suggestions concerning
them. The communication is as fol-
lows:
Sunrise Lodge, Brighton, Aug. "a, 1896.
To Democratic County Committees:
The attention of the chairmen of
county committees, residing in sena-
| torial districts containing two or more
counties, is called to the fact that they
should ascertain at once whether sena-
torial committees were named in the
last campaign. and where none were
manned the county chairman should
unite in calling senatorial conventions.
L suggest that the basis of representa-
ton to senatorial conventions be the
same as to the state convention. All
senatorial conventions should be held
prior to the state convention ard dele
gates to the same should be chosen at
the county conventions which elect
delegates to the state convention.
Saturday, September 10, if selected as
the date for senatorial conventions,
will give ample time for the fling of
the proper certificates.
o. w. POWERS,
Chairman.
If the report heard in Mckinley
circles yesterday is true, and they as
Severate with an air of great confidence
that they know what they are talking
about, and that it is the meeting of the
Republican state committee next Satur-
day afternoon will prove fully as in
teresting as was the meeting of the
Democratic committee with its one
sided fight against Judge Powers re-
election to the craftsmanship
The report referred to was to the
effect that the silver Republicans are
now and have been for several days,
engaged in securing the state for
proxies to get control Of the committee
and see that the convention call is is
sued to their liking. One Mckinley
man speaking on the subject, said:
81 believe the silver men will try to
get proxies enough to control the ac-
ton of the committee and then go to
the extreme of issuing a call for a con-
vention to nominate Bryan and Sewall
electors.
Il not only believe that they will do
this, but that they will work along the
same line all the way through, for [
am confident they intend TO get the new
organization if possible and prevent
the new committee from conducting
the Mckinley campaign
Whatever the silver mems intentions
may be in the latter connection, very
few people outside of the Mckinley
camp will expect the silver Republicans
to undertake any such proposition as
the former. The meeting will doubt
less be a lively one, however, for both
sides will make a strong effort to be
as we'll represented as possible and
each side will want it's own way.
There is no means of judging yet as to
which will control
The movement started Monday for
silver Republican ratification meetings
here and at Ogden, is progressing so
satisfactorily to its promoters as TO in
dicate that they will be very huge af
fairs. The arrangements have not
taken definite form yet, beyond fur
nishing assurance that the meetings
will be held and that they will be ad
dressed by as many of the leading sill
yer Republicans as can be crowded into
an evenings programme. 1t is the in
tention, if possible, to make the meet
ings state affairs by securing special
rates from the railroads and inviting
silver men from every quarter Of tine
state to attend.
There will be a meeting of the Re
publican campaign committee of the
First election precinct tomorrow night
to perfect organic ton and appoint block
captains preparatory to beginning the
active campaign.
F. NJ. Ulner, registration agent of the
First precinct has resigned and j. NJ.
Miner has been appointed in his stead.
William J. Bryan will be elected by
the votes of the laboring men and farm
ers Of the eastern states"
A broadgauge smile spread over the
features of Mr.. Henry Siegel, who has
just returned from an extended tour of
the east, as he made this assurance
yesterday to a Herald reporter.
Mckinley is a great deal weaker
there than people in the west suppose
Even in the large factories Bryan shows
a strength that is very startling to the
gold men In one factory at Baltimore,
for instance, five hundred of the men
openly announce themselves as being
