RICHFIELD, Utah. Sept 12-With a
Bryan button in the lapel of his neat
Prince Albert coat. DR.. West Of Salina.
took the chair as temporary chairman of
the Republican county convention TODAY
at II am.
Another Bryan-buttoned gentleman.
Mr.. Jeppa Nelson of Monroe, occupied
the secretary's chair.
After the appointment of the various
necessary committees, the convention
took a recess until pm.
During the noon hour a canvass of the
delegates developed the fact that in this
center Of Republicanism, where the ac
coruplished editor of the Advocate has
lab'ored zealously for the Mckinley gold
bug ticket, and has read the Tribune and
other silver Republican papers out of the
party, there were not to exceed four Nc
Kinley men in the convention.
Upon reconvenimg, the report of the
committee on credentials was adopted.
but the report of the committee on per-
maAent organization came in two Sec
tons, the majority report recommending
John w. Coons of Richfield for perna-
nent chairman and DR.. c. w. West of
Salina for permanent secretary, and re-
delegates, one to Mt. Pleasant and the
other to Ogden. The minority report
agreed With the Recommendation of the
majority report as to organization, but
recommended an adjournment of the con-
vention to meet September 10 at 1879 I'm.
in Richfelol The minority report which
was presented. by Delegate Snyder of
Richfeld. was adopted, and the conven-
ton adjourrsnd.
The rumor is current among local Re-
publicans that some compromise between
the Bryan and Mckinley Republicans
will be effected during the coming week,
and thus the course be made plain for
them. AT present they are considerably
at sea.
The Mckinley men are sore over the
signal defeat they have sustained. The
Bryan men, while elated over their pres
ent victory. are yet considerably exer-
cjsed over the breakers ahead.
The end is not yet.
Judge Johnson returned today from
PiUte county. where he held the Septem-
Der term for Judge McCarty.

Banta Again.

Last Sunday, City Marshal Davis re-
ceived letter from a deputy United
States marshal, of Kansas City, inquir-
ing the standing Of one, Jap Banta,
whom he had in custody for counter
feiring. The News put up a great story
about Banta, with two partners he for
merry had here, Bunker and Hinton,
both of whom are now in the peniten-
tiary fer the same offense for which he
is charged, being loud pOpulists and
great admirers Of Jerry Simpson, etc.
etc.
1t is the same Banta outfit thai has
been of so much trouble to the city and
its officials having been in the city Jail
at sundry times for their thieVing de-
predations, but the facts are, so we are
informed, that they wore the stand
up" badge in 1892, and stated that if
they voted at all they would vote the
republican ticket. Although it is not
thought by our infOrmants chat they
voted at all, as they were rank anar
chists and didn t believe IN government
therefore not in voting. The News is
so short of political news which is of
ANY kind pleasing to its readers that it
is not always heedful OF one of the i'm,
portant commandments.

The Primaries.

From what we can learn the popu
list primaries Monday night were bet
Ter attended than they have been for
number of years. Instructions are
seldom given in pOpullst primaries
and none can tell what the outcome
will be. In one or two places we I'M
derstand instructions were given for
Fierce for county attorney, and John
Kinkade for clerk of the court, but in
most places the people satisfied them
selves by canvassing the situation with
the availability and qualifications of
the various candidates without giving
any instructions. Therefore no fore.
cast can be given of the results. 1t is
evident that the contests next Satur
day are to be much sharper than they
have been heretofore. The certain
prospect OF election makes them eager.

RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the populist senatorial con-
venhon held Wednesday at Kingman:
We the peoples party Of the Thirty
Sixth Senatorial district in convention
assembled, do most heartily endorse
that ma!chless leader and defender of
the peoples rights for president of the
United States, w. j. Bryan, and the
platform of principles euuDCiated at tile
st. Louis national pOpulist convention;
also the State ticket nominated at Abb
len headed by honest John Leedy, and
the platform there adopted. Also the
nomination of the Hon. Jerry Simpson
for Congress of this Big Seventh dis
triCt.
We condemn, without stint the So
called business administration Of Il. n.
Morrill, which has become q stencil in
the nOstrils of all good citizens chican-
cry, jObbery and partisan methods let
state contracts to the highest bidders
allowing our unfOrtunates in the State
institutions to be MANNED and mis-
treated, paying out the taxpayers
money for CLERKS for private citizens
and injuring the honest name Of our
fair state.
For the last two years Kansas has
had majority of the supreme cOult
that was far in its rulings and decisions
and gave to our citizens, rich or poor,
the same showing rs a corporation,
therefore we denounce the turning
down OF Hon. David Martin for renom-
ination by the republicans through cor
porate and goldbur domination.
We believe with the great Lincoln
that this should he a government for
and Ly the people, and the govern
ment is the safest inthe hands of the
governed. We, therefore, declare for
the principle Of direct legislation, and
declare that whenever a respectable
minority of the people of this state
wants any matter Of public policy
voted on by the people, they shall be
accorded that privilege, and we pledge
the nominee of this convention to a
strict observance Of the same.
Believing that the free coinage Of
silver at the ratio of 16 to is the ma
terial point in the great point now
on. We pledge the nominee of this
convention to support no man for the
United States senate who does not and
has not favored this measure which
means so much to the common people
of America.
