Republican print"
The Republican county convention
was postponed from the 3rd to the 18th
of October. The preparatory conven-
tioin was fixed for October Il. The So
called mass convention" was held at
Republican headquarters. There were
probably two hundred people at the
injecting, and of this number not more
than two dozen were Democrats. The
Republicans did all the business,
droWding all the Democrat deserters
TO the front in order to give a little
tone to the meeting. AS soon as the
~. q. Steward, slate candidate, be made
litemporary chairman, and a. A. Law,
lAof Paradise secretary. After naming
their committees w. W. Vaughan
ljmoved that all who did not belong to
the crowd leave the room. After some
wrangling Vaughan said he was OBJ
posed to Nebeker as he was hostile to
the move. Here Nebeker resented
Maughans right to pass upon any
ones opinion. Reavill moved for
committee on credentials, but it was
overruled and adjournment was taken
for noon.
Upon reassem bling Attorney Reavill,
in following out what he had been told
was the object of the meeting, pre-
sented the following resolution:
/ Whereas, Certain persons particle
| pating in this citizens convention also
participated in and ran for Office in the
| Democratic convention held at Logan
city, September 10, 1896, and
Whereas, Said persons are seeking
and working for nomination by this
convention. and
Whereas, The object of this conven-
| ton is to nominate men who are not
chronic Office seekers and who have
not held Office in the past; therefore,
/ be it
Resolved, That it be the sense of
this convention that any person known
! to have been q candidate for office in
the Democratic convention of Septem-
Der 10 be, and is, hereby barred from
accepting or receiving any recognition
in this convention.
Resolved, That men who have held
Office in the past are likewise barred
from nomination in this convention
These resolutions did not seem to
take very we'll, for one Joseph Odell
asked Reavill if his sympathy was with
| the meeting, whereat MIR. Reavill re-
piled that inasmuch as it was Re-
| publican meeting he was not in SYM
pathy with it.
Mr.. .Smoot, one of the candidates, is
out of the state more than two-thirds
of his time. The resolutions finally
passed by the meeting are gotten up
merely for the purpose of catching
votes.
