/ dead silence as he said:
Mr. Chairman, l do not desire to
debate a question which even my linn
tied knowledge of parliamentary law
teaches me is unbeatable, but 1 most
earnestly desire the privilege of speak
! ing on a point upon which this con-
} vention seems to be-temporarily, al
least in error; and in defense of my
right to speak at this moment, it may
not be improper for me to remind the
distinguished chairman of this conven-
ton that he has but just now declared
that no arbitrary nor trivial techni-
cality shall intervene to prevent the
intelligent and successful accomplish
ment of the objects for which we are

"A Populist has been given recog-
milton on our electoral ticket, and 1t is
only proper that similar recognition
should be given to that great body OF
men who represent the people whose
support has not been given us in the
past. but which we desire and need
al this time. For that reason, and that
reason alone. | wish my friends in the
/ convention, all who love me, to accept
my resignation in the spirit in which
it is offered, and substitute for me a
! silver Republican. Certainly no man
within the sound of my voice, nor, in
deed. in Utah, will dare to claim that
the Democracy of Utah and of the ma
ton is not sufficiently represented by
that honorable gentleman, Robert c,

he, and being in accord with the mo-

nous consent that his name be with
drawn and that we take a vote on a

HARRIS NONIINATES KING.
At this time Fisher Harris came
cTowding through the delegates as thu
chair announced that nominations were
in order for a candidate for congress
He had heard that a movement was
on foot to place him in nomination
among his enthusiastic admirers, and
being pledged to Judge King he
fastened to irterpose himself before
such possibility, which would have
entailed the serious consequence fol
himself of being laid open to sus-
picion that he had planned the scheme
to secure the nomination himself, in
nocent as he would have been of the
charge, for he would have been nom
mated against all he could have done
once his name was mentioned: hence
Mr.. Harris haste to get the floor when
that order of business was reached
and which LETT him almost brea thless

received it and the convention again
came to the dead silence which
marked its respect for him each time
