were also generously applauded. The

prohibited by the rules of the house
and there was no more applause.

he had been informed that the major

had a candidate, one who was just

and he presented the name of Arthur

HENRY P. HENDERSON.

Mr.. Kimball of Logan then nomi-
mated Judge Henderson. He presented
the merits of his candidate with earn
estness and force, but the applause
ELECTED was much less vociferous than
that given the other candidates. He
had to perform, he said a very sad
and solemn duty. This legislature had
reached the point when every mem
Der was called upon to place himself
upon record, and he was under the
necessity of choosing between near and
dear friends. Yet the interests of the
state, the nation and the party were
of more Importance than friendship.
His candidate was one of the first 10
lead out in the division on party lines,
thus establishing harmonious condi-
tons AT critical period in the party
division movement Judge Henderson
had been sent as delegate by the
regular Democrats, to the national con-
Vention al Chicago. Henderson had
been unanimously selected to represent
the Democrats before the committee
appointed to determine the dispute be-
tween the regular Democrats and the
TuScaroraS. At that time there seemed
no chance of recognition, but Hender-
son took the floor and carried the day,
thus securing for the Democratic party
of Utah its first recognition from the
national party. In speaking. of his can
didate's silver sentiments, Mr.. kimball
declared silver had no truer friend in
Utah than Judge Henderson. His in

given more land than any other state
that had been admitted up to that
time. He secured the act opening up
the Indian reservations, and the act
returning to the church the funds that
had been taken from it. He supported
the bill for trial by jury in contempt
cases, a measure dear TO every labor
ing man. Furthermore, when the cause
of silver was in it's infancy, his voice
was heard in congress in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. He defeated the
efforts of the Colorado congressman to
saddle the southern Utes upon Utah.
We should judge him by his record and
if he should be sent to the United
States senate, it would be impossible
to predict what he could accomplish
in six years He had ability, integrity,
honesty and health, and represented
every principle the Democratic party
represented. He needed no eulogy. This
state government was the result of his
ability and industry. Conceding that
ether candidates represented certain
principles dear to the people, this can
didate represented all creeds and all
sects and all the interests of Utah.
The Rawlinsites applauded when Mr.
Shepard finished.

THE PoPULIsT NOMINEE.


Mr.. Thompson, on behalf of the Pop
ulists, then presented the name of
Henry W. Lawrence, eulogizing him
as a man who had grown up with the
people, man Of integrity, who had
held several important positions, and
one who stood upon the Chicago plat
form with both feet.
Another embarrassing silence en-
sued and it was apparent that the
Democrats had not yet arranged their
plans After tedious wait the speaker
inquired if there were any other nomi-
nations. This provoked much mirth,
which was increased by the motion of
Mr.. Robinson, that nominations be
closed.
MOSES THATCHER.

was known that he would nominate

NOW ON TRIAL.
The Preston County Murderer
Bolyard is Being Tried.

Pleads Self Defense aud expects to be
Acquitted-Promptly Indicted BY the
Barbour Grand Jury If Cleared Pat
Cofebank May Ayenge His Brothers
Tragic Death.
The trial of Chris. Bolyard has
begun speedily. 1t will be remem-
bered that he killed John Colebank
after terrible fight over a girl A
full account of the affair was given
when it first happened by this paper.
The murder took place in the edge
of Barbour although the parties
were from Preston.
The Barbour grand jury was in
session and it Immediately found an
Indictment against Bolyard for muir
der and the trial has begun. He
pleads self defense and says that he
will be acquitted. The facts in the
case do not seem to warrant this
confidence on his part. He is CON
fined in the Jail at Philippi.
When he heard of the murder, Pat
a brother of John Celebank, armed
himself and swore to kill Bolyard on
sight. Friends prevented his carry
ing out this intention and thus an
other terrible tragedy was in all
probability averted. However he
still firmly declares that if the hopes
Of the prisoner are realized and he
is acquitted that the murder shall
be avenged by the killing of the
murderer. So the prospects are ex-
cellent for more outbreaks before
the matter is finally settled.
The feeling over the affair in Reno
district of Preston and in Barbour
is said to be most intense and very
great interest is being taken in the
trial.
