The gathering of the clans began early
this morning, and the town was given
over to the scores of delegates from all
over the county, to the two conventions
to be held in the court house. The much
mooted question of the endorsement of
Hayt for supreme judge by the Silver
Republicans was raised by the advent of
Representative Shafroth, who it was
stated would attempt to keep the party
in line. Fusion of the Democrats and
Silver Republicans on the county ticket
was openly talked and there was almost
a unanimity of opinion in favor of it.
The Democrats organized by electlng
Charles Ward as temporary chairman,
w. L. McCaslin, secretary, and Norton
Montgomery, assistant secretary. The
committees were then appointed as fol-
lows:
Credentials-A. A. Greenman, ]. A.
Donavan, DR.. c. F. Wolfer.
Resolutions-Judge Wells, G. P.
Cheney, A. M. Hunter, L. c. Paddock,
Jones,

Harry Casaday. w. c. Dyer, June Sew.
erance, Judge Thompson.
A motion to adjourn until 1880 was
then put and carried.

flying their readiness to report, the meet
ing was again called to order and the
committee made their reports.
The credentials committee reported
that all delegations present were entitled
to seats, and that precincts 3, ,25 and 2t
were not represented. A motion was
made to adopt the report. W. c. Dyer
entered protest against the seating OF
the delegation from precinct 81 with Hi
Washburn as chairman Grant Safely
chairman of the contssting delegation
from that precinct, explained the situa.
ton and protested against the seating oi
Washburn's delegation. Hi Washburn
contested that the primaries were held
fairly.
L.C. Paddock, then sustaining the
contention thatthe delegation was un'
fairly selected, amended the motion tc
accept the report so as to permit both
delegations a seat with half vote fol
each. After some argument this amend
ment was withdrawn and the committee
| report was adopted as a whole.

mending making the temporary organ
