The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-20

! Mr.. Roylance of Utah county, arose
! to second the nomination of Thatcher
and devoted his entire speech to most
! bitter personal attack upon Rawlins,
accusing him of a base betrayal of his
| friends. Mr.. Thatcher, he said had no
record of writing letters, sending in
designations and recalling them. The
! speaker referred to Rawlins letter of
withdrawal, his letter to MonSon, and
! described the conditions that induced
! Thatcher to enter the race. Subse-
! quently some loyal friends of Rawlins,
| through the guise of friendship, in
! duced him to become a candidate. In
| taking this course, the speaker declared
| he had betrayed Thatcher. The phil
! lipic was received in silence and many
members subsequently expressed their
disapprOval.
KENNER SECONDS HENDERSON.
Mr.. Kenner seconded Henderson's S
nomination. He rejOiced that the Dem
ocratic party was not short of the best
kind of material. There was not one
of the candidates that the party need
blush for. but there was one thing that
it might blush fer. and that was that
in order to build one up another must
| be torn down. Mr.. Kenner paid a warm
tribute to Judge Henderson and de-
nounced as untrue many of the stories
concerning his attitude on the silver
question.
CALLS NAMES CHAMBERS.
Mr.. Calls of Summit county created
something of a sensation when he an
nounced that he had another candi-
date, as it was supposed that there
would be no more nominations. The
man he would present, ne said, was
one who, by training and ability, was
eminently qualified for the high posi-
tion. 1t was his pleasing duty to name
a man who was not involved in any
embarrassing complica tions. He is in
terested in many industries and enter
priSes and extremely popular in that
section OF the state from which he
comes. He comes from the home of
the Ontario, and his name is r. c.
Chambers.
ROMNEY SUPPORTS RAWLINS.
Mr.. Romney of Salt Lake seconded
the nomination of Mr. Rawlins whose
record, he declared was clear. He de-
plored attacks upon any candidate,
such as had been made by the gentle
man from Utah county.
Mr.. O'Brien of Weber seconded Hen
dersons nomination, and this was sup
posed to end the oratory. but the in
eVitable Mr. Robinson of Kane claimed
the floor for the purpose of seconding
his own nomination of Arthur Brown,
one, he said, who, unlike his brethren,
had not run away after false gods.
There were more groans and gibes.
The special order of the day was
now called for, it being Ais, and the
speaker directed the clerk TO call the
roll.
THE ROLL CALL.
The name of Mrs. Anderson of Weber
was first called and when she arose
ard announced, in a clear voice: Il

as her choice. S. n. Cook OF Box Elder
