WYOMING REPUBLICANS.
Proceedings Blocked by the Committee
on Resolutions,

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 1.-THE republican
state convention effected a permanent
organization and adjourned until 3
o'clock tomorrow morning to await the
report Of the committee on resolutions.
There was nothing of special interest
in the proceedings beyond the speech
delivered by Hon. John 7. Morrison,
chairman of the state committee, in
calling the body to order. His address
was praised on every hand as a master
full effort. Robert h. DUN of Shoshone
county served as the temporary chair
man and c. a. Warner as temporary
secretary, while j. f. Ailshie of Idaho
ounty vas Installed as the permanent
presiding officer, and George G.. Peck
OF Ada as permanent secretary. The
proceedings were blocked at this point
by the inability of the committee on
resolutions to submit a report. An ad-
journment was taken until evening and
then until morning.
The delay in perfecting the platform
was caused by the size of the commit
tee, most of tho p members desiring
10 be heard at length on a number of
points. The committee voted to indorse
the st. Louis platform. 1t met again at
3 o'clock in the evening to continue its
work. the assurance being given that
II would be ready to submit the plat
form In the morning. There was a de-
cided change during h day In the mat
ter of the candidacy of Judge Standrod
for governor. He had bee requested
to come to the city, but declined to do
so. and his evening his stock fell to
such an extent that he vas regarded as
being out OF the race. The contest then
appeared to be between B.. u. Shawhan
and A. n. Moss. but the name of John
Il. Morrison was later brought forward
and this seemed TO render the result
still more uncertain. +. O'Neill of Nez
Perez and Warren Truitt of Latah were
brought out during the day as candi-
dates for supreme judge n j. f. ALL
shie of Idaho county and John T. Morri-
son of Canyon were frequently men
toned. The Latah delegation deter
mined to put the name Of G. G. Pickett
for attorney general. s. b. Kiugsburg
Of Ada In also in the field for attorney
general and the name of c. Nj. Hayes
of Ada is often heard used for the same
place. Afford Bulge of Bear Lake is
talked of as "A candidate for lieutenant
governor. The Ada delegation has set
tied upon George Fletcher as its candi-
date for the office Of state treasurer.
