the platform to make his report as
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tibns, ne was greeted with such burst
of applause as to shake the whole
building. No other person in the con-
vention was paid so much honor.
Many different kinds of badges were
displayed at the convention. That of
the Weber delegation was very hand

red ribbon with silver fringe at the
bottom and gold fringe at the top.
It read as follows: Democratic State

S. R. Thurman, who was temporary
chairman of the convention, cannot re-
member the Christian name of the Re-
publican presidential nominee. He
spoke of him in his opening speech
yesterday as Robert Mckinley. Some
of the delegates who had the name of
that great man fresh in their memory.
corrected his mistakes several times.
''Well, then, Bill Mckinley, said Mr..
Thurman.
The Salt Lake county delegation had
blue strips of ribbon for the delegates
and aIternates and white ribbons for
the visitors In the center of the rib
bon was a picture of William ]. Bryan.
Above the picture were the words
Democratic State Convention Be
low the picture were the words salt
Lake County," and below that, 'Dele-
gate,'' Alternate or Visitor" as the
case might be.
One of the employees of the Provo
Enquirer seemed to be very much en-
barrassed when Chairman Thurman
made that awful crack at the mas
cot" city's gold paper. He said in the
midst of his speech, There is no news
paper in Utah which upholds the gold
bugs" Here he was interrupted by a
voice from the pit: What about the
Enquirer" The chairman was not at
all abashed. Il said a newspaper" he
calmly replied to the question. This
brought down the house.

Side LiChfS

The Herald delegation had the most
comfortable quarters that could be ar
ranged at the Provo convention.
The Herald bulletins of the Salt Lake
and Mount Pleasant conventions were
highly appreciated at Provo yester-
day.
Fisher S. Harris, one of the most pop
ular men in Salt Lake. was proposed
as one of the Democratic electors by
S. R. Thurman.
Judge o. w. Powers made a great
speech when he proposed the name of
Henry w. Lawrence as one of the
presidential electors.
Provo was the proudest city in Utah
yesterday. To be allowed the conven-
ton of the greatest political party in
the United States is no small honor.
Hon. O. W. Powers brought down
the house" when ne announced that the
Independent Republicans would ratify
the men nominated as electors at
Provo.
Quite an outburst OF laughter was
occasioned when the committee on par
ty eGnblems reported their decision to
be "a. Thoroughbred rooster in q de-
faint attitude" The report was adop-
ted amid great laughter and applause.
The Heralds score cards met with
great favor ait the Provo convention
yesterday The demand did not exceed
the supply, however, as The Herald
management had made enough blanks
to supply the whole of Utah, if nsces-

Weed By the Press.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Morning Post
Will tomorrow say:
Mr.. Gladstone's speech will have a
salutary effect at home and abroad. We
hope it will operate to moderate the ex-
cesses of language to which there has
been some tendency in Great Britain
The Daily News will strongly support
Mr.. Gladstone's suggestion that the Brit
ish ambassador at Constantinople be
withdrawn.
The Chronicle lauds the practical sagac-
ity Of Mr.. GladstOne'S speech, which, it
says, constitutes a wise and timely as
sertiOn Of Great Britain's true independ-
ence.
The Standard will say tomorrow that
Mr.. Gladstone aVOWal of confidence in
the government Will dampen the arlor OF
a good many of the organizers of public
meetings to protest against the sultan
and his rule. The paper sympathizes
with Mr.. Gladstone'S utterances, but con-
tends that ne suggests nothing practical.
adding: 1T is not expected that he, in
deed. could offer a remedy other than
that which is being applied without in
creasing the misery which all desire to
cure"
Continuing, the Standard says it can
not see what advantage could be gained
by the withdrawal of the British ambas-
sadOr. unless the other ambassadors We're
also withdrawn, which they assuredly
would not be. Such an act is only intel
ligible when it is the prelude to declaring
Great Britains small influence in the
Yildiz Kiosk would become none. and the
field would be absolutely open to intrigues
which even now it is not easy to COUNTER
act
The Standard asks what is likely TO be
gained by public demonstrations ending
in a confession of impotence. 1t urges the
government to continue TO cooperate
with the other powers and not TO enter
upon rash enterprises despite them
In conclusion, the paper says:
Heavier responsibility than Lord Sails
bury carries no man ever mad. Happily
the nation believes that he is equal to it.
We gather from Gladstone's speech that
he shares our conviction"
The Times pays a tribute TO the rela-
tive moderation Of Mr.. Gladstone'S Ian
cuage. and then continues:
cit is when Mr.. Gladstone proposes
practical remedies for the evils he de-
picts that all sober politicians must feel
constrained to part company with him.
The maintenance of diplomatic relations
with the sultan seems to constitute. i'm
his mind. a kind Of conformation Of the
crimes of the porte. We confess we ars
quite unable TO share this curious theory
The presence of our ambassador at Con-
stantinole has d curb on evil counsellorS
of the sultan.

HERALD BULLETINS.
Provo Astonished at the Herald's
Great Enterprise.

The Herald system of bulletins received
from both conventions at Salt Lake and
Mt. Pleasant by special leased wire were
a source of qualification to the members
of the convention who were thus enabled
eoldbug and silver meetings. The dereiic-
ton of the former in not getting a move
ment on itself prevented as satisfactory
results as might have been hoped for, but
that was not the fault of The Herald
Every one in Provo was warm in praise
of the enterprise of The Herald. The
action of the Salt Lake convention in
ratffying the electoral ticket was known in
Provo in twenty seconds after the vote
on electors was announced in Salt Lake at
the same moment it was read to the con-
yention at Provo.

lusty Threats till the very walls rever-
berated with the echo. Mr. Harris was
plainly disconcerded. He had skiilfully
led up to the point with the intention
that his candidate should be given an
ovation, but ne was disappointed, and
il was not till he spoke the name OF
W. H King that the candidate got his
reception When me did it was graft
flying enough to more than repay the
miscarriage of his sponsors well
planned speech.
NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION.
Mr.. Harris had circumvented his
friends and there were no more nomiul-
atiuns. Nominations were closed and
Hon. John T. Caine moved that the
rules be suspended and Judge King
be nominated by reclamation. The mo-
ton carried with grand shout and
Judge King was declared the nominee
for congress.
CLOSING SCENES.
Joseph E. Cohen read a resolution
when the chair announced that miscel-
laneous business was in order, declar-
ing it the sense of the convention that
Hadley D. Johnson be its choice fol-
messenger to convey the electoral vote
to Washington.
A. T. Schroeder said there had been a
question raised that the statutes re-
quired the messenger must be one OF
the electors and amended the resolution
to provide that Mr.. Johnson be the con-
vention's choice provided his selection
did not conflict with the statutes. 5. A
Kenner explained that the law merely
requires that the electors select mes
senger, but the amendment prevailed.
after which the resolution as amended
was adopted.
w. II. Dale moved that the state COM
nlittee be authorized to fill any vacan-
cies that might occur on the state tick
ct, which carried. Judge Powers an
nounced that the electoral ticket had
been endorsed by the silver Republican
convention.
Colonel A. D. Cash invited the mem
bers TO remain and attend a grand rati-
fication meeting in the evening, but
many of the delegates who lived at a
great distance demurred and division
on a motion to remain was required be-
fore it was decided TO stay and ratify
The customary vote of thanks was
rendered the officers and extended to

with cries of Harris, Harris" That
Individual was seen to arise from where
he was seated among the Salt Lake
delegation at the rear Of the hail.
Delegates were standing UP in front

some minutes before the CHAIR could

recognized, when he emulated the ex-

magnificent burst of oratory. Mr.. Har-

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men of the convention: In all the days

in my heart. ! thank you for the dis
tlnguisGled honor you have done me,
bui, ladies and gentlemen, the success
of the Democratic party is of more I'M
poTTRnce than the qualification of the
ambition of any man and the welfare
of the people of Utah is of more import
ance than the success of any party.
The result OF this ballot has shown
that we have recognized the Populist
party and the Democratic party, but
THAT we have failed 10 recognize those
gentlemen who. having put patriotism
above party fealty, have come out Of

Ohio. The wlsest men of our party
know that the Democracy alone cSn-
not accomplish the result we ala have
at heart. therefore, placing the wei
fare of Utah and her people ahead of
personal preferment l desire most
earnestly that this convention, acting in
concert with our brethren of other
states. small place upon this electoral
ticket the name OF one silver RepubLi-
can. And ala this we wild do that we
may tine better hold up tine halris of
