waiting, knowing nevertheless what
will be the result in the great middle
commonwealth of Illinois. Ohio and
Indiana. Our prospects are bright,
and l believe when these principles
shall be written in that platform and
all the people invited TO support US,
that we will sweep the country like
the cyclone swept the city of st.
Louis. (Applause).
Colonel Ellis speech was greeted
with unbounded enthusiasm. especially
those points where he referred TO mo
union of church and state" and to the
growing prospects for silver. The con-
vention was made UP of Democrats
of the old-fashioned variety and when
Democratic principles were enunciated
they were quickly appreciated.
At the conclusion of the remarks Of
the temporary chairman, the following
committees were appointed, the COM
mittees on permanent organization and
order of business and credentials be-
ing selected on a call of the roll of

buttons was appointed by the chair,

DININNYS RESOLUTION.
The committees having been APP
pointed, H. j. Dinninny, Of this city,
arose with a resolution which instruct
ed the committee on credentials to re-
fuse seats in the convention to dele
gates who did not live in the counties
from which their credentials were dat
ed, and also to refuse to allow proxies
to be given to persons who did not
live in the subdivisions they were rep
resenting in the convention.
Dinninny moved the passage of the
resolution.
Reed Smott of Utah county. arose
to ask what the intention of the reso-
luton was. He didn't know but what
sit might be loaded
mo, sir was the reply of the Trainer
of the document. 1T is not loaded and
is presented here because want TO
prevent some gun from going off. There
are several persons in this community
who are exceedingly anxious TO go to
the convention at Chicago, and l am
led TO believe they have been securing
proxies from every place they can get
them. 1 do not object to a member
from any county casting the full vote
of his delegation. but / do protest
that gentlemen from Salt Lake ought
not sit here and cast votes for out
side counties"
Mr. Smoot retorted that at this
season of the year there were several
counties, in the more isolated portions
of the state, where the farmers could
not leave their work and get here, and
he did not think they should be denied
representation, when they had sent
the proxies here and to good members
of the party.
This view was conceded in by Dele
gate Mcdaniel of Sewer, who made
| a telling speech on the matter, and
was followed by a delegate from St
| George, who said that Washington
county usually sent up a good strong
delegation, but this time every one
was so hurried with work they could
not we'll leave. The Democrats of
that county had sent proxies to men
in this city who were natives of Wash
ington county and had lived there a
! good portion of their lives. He asked
