paid, the number of employees under
democratic rule has been reduced and
! the cost of operating the county's al
fairs has been diminished.
Every citizen familiar with the pres
! ent affairs of the county will recognize
| that efficiency has been increased while
| expenses have been diminished by rea-
son of the Democratic possession of the
| county offices. We challenge a contro-
version of the claim-that every prom
/ Use made by the county Democracy in
/ 1896 to the voters has found perfect eX-
/ ecution and fulfillment. Upon this rec
ord OF uneXampled excellence and econ
omy in the management of affairs, the
Democratic party asks the suffrages of
voters, pIedgfng not only as satisfac-
tory conduct of the business interests
of the people of Salt Lake county as in
the past, but basing this pledge upon
record which is now before the people.
We declare our allegiance to the
Democratic party. and to the principles
enunciated in the national platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896, as well as to
all pledges of the Democratic party of
Utah. This includes the demand for the
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the
ratio of 10 to l, without the consent of
other nations, notoriously impossible to
obtain. We hold this issue to be still
of paramount Importance. and pledge
ourselves to its steadfast and earnest
support as a principle-that has OBJ
tanned in the Democratic party since
the debasement of siiver-and we fur
ther pledge ourselves TO the support
of only such candidates for office as are
sincerely and unselfshly devoted to this
cause.
We cordially welcome to the ranks OF
Democracy the many voters who have
heretofore affiliated with opposing par
ties, but who have now Joined us be-
cause of the conviction that there is no
national hope for the restoration of sill
yer to the position occupied by it prior
to 1873 save through the success of the
Democratic party nationally, and we
congratulate our party on the patriot
ism displayed by these voters in their
abandonment of old political ties, to the
end that the financial salvation of the
nation and the essential welfare Of
mankind may neither suffer nor he de-
layed. To all such-animated by pur-
pose so high-we extend a cordial and
willing hand to march forward in the
coming political battle, until we shall
have secured the fulnllment Of the
promises to which TIE national Dem
ocratic party has pledged itself
We congratulate the naticn upon the
successful termination Of the war. and
rejoice at the patriotism and humani
tartan sentiments Of the great Demo-
cratic leaders, which compel an unwill-
ing Republican administration to force
Spain to withdraw its cruel grasp from

The Democratic county convention
met at the theatre yesterday afternoon
and nominated the two candidates for
state senator and four of the ten rep
resentatives to the lower house. 1t
also selected the 129 delegates to the
state convention.
The proceedings of the convention
have been marked with the greatest
enthusiasm and harmony. There has
not been an incident to mar the
serenity of the session. The officers
chosen are performing their duty with
celebrity and firmness.
The delegation as a whole is made
up of representative men and women,
and the desire to nominate a good
ticket seems to predominate in every
breast.
OF course. the proceedings have been
slow up to date, this being caused by
the large number of candidates which
. have been placed before the convention
for the lower house. The number, as
will be seen, is an enormous one, and
IS indicative of a desire on the part of
. the convention to get good timber for
the places. The remaining six will
doubtless be selected early today, as
there will not be so many ballots to
cast.
The candidates for the state senate
came in the nature of surprises, as
both were more or less of the dark
horse variety. 1t was thought up to
the time of the holding of the conven-
ton that D. II. Peery, jr., and c. S.
Williamson we~e sure winners. Both
gentlemen take their defeat very kind
S}y and announce themselves as enthu-
siastic in support of the ticket.
The following is a report of the pro-
ceedings yesterday.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. o.
The American evacuation commission,
at a meeting held yesterday afternoon,
decided to notify Captain General Ma
cias that they were present and ready
to proceed with business.
a communication to this effect was
drafted in most courteous terms. It
asked where and when the Spanish
commissioners would meet the Ameri-
cans. Lieutenant Sears, Rear Admiral
Schley's flag lieutenant, delivered the
communication to the captain general,
driving to the palace in the carriage.
When approaching the palace a brick
was hurled at him from the sidewalk
He was able TO ward off the blow part
ly, but it struck him on the ankle. This
is the first incident of the kind since
our arrival here. The lieutenant did
not deem it advisable to lodge a COM
plant, and the police made no arrests.
The American commissioners are de-
termined to brook no delay as indicated
by their action. Although Captain
General Macias recognized their pres
ence by official visits, they have not
been notified of the appointment or the
names of the Spanish commissioners,
and the names of the latter have not
been officially gazetted, in spite Of the
fact that it is understood unofficially
that Generals Ortega and Vallerin and
the auditor of war, Senior Aguilar, COM
prise the Spanish commission. The 80
days expire on Sunday, and if the
Spaniards are not prepared to proceed
on that date they must explain mat
ters.
The Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Terror and the gunboat Ponce de Leon
sailed for the island of Martinique to-
day. where they will be placed in dry
dock, as their bottoms are foul, before

The gunboats Isabel II and Concha
will follow on Monday.

About noon today the American mill

sPAIN's STRONG PROTEST.
Capitulation of Manila Made After
Protocol Was Signed.

London, Sept. 1O.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says:
The government recently forwarded
to NJ. Cambon, French ambassador at
Washington, a long, strongly argued
statement respecting the Philippines,
which he will communicate verbally to
the Washington government.
Spain protests against the capitula-
ton of Manila because made two days
after the protocol was signed. 1t says
the revenues from Manila customs may
continue to be devoted to the Philippine
loan of 1897. and finally it insists upon
the United States compelling Aguinal-

THE RESOLUTIONS

voters OF this county for their suffrages
at the approaching election:
