A motion to amend the report was
made by Fred q. Waite, who wanted
the order of business changed so that
legislative candidates could be nomi-
mated first, in order that good men
might be chosen.
This was supported. by Frank Hoff-
man, who wanted no cheap skates Sc

inasn1uch as a senator was going to be
chosen next winter.
Albert Riser opposed the motion, but
it prevailed and the report as changed
was adopted.
HAPPY CIRCUMSTANCES
Mr. Thomas returned thanks for the
honor and declared the convention met
under happy circumstances. The ris-
ing tide of Republican prosperity has
lifted the gloom from the business of
Utah. CHEERS for prosperity. The Re
publican party has been twisted with
debts (Hisses for the twit). Grover
Cleveland floated 5000, 100000 bonds and
it cost the people $4,000, 900. Mckinley
hoated $500, O00 and it did not cost a
cent. applause for the cent?
The postmaster then claimed great
commercial advantages in favor of the
party and hoped the convention would
stand for silver protection and recip
rocity. We don't want the minis to run
unless the worlingmen can have q
chance to earn sonee of it. CHEERS for
some of it,.
The Speaker directed attention to the
fact that a senator is to be elected this
coming winter. He wanted a man
chosen who was in favor of silver, wool
and lead, therefore act wisely sink
prejudice and personal preference and
nominate a ticket which will be the
superior Of the Democratic.

A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.

Mr.. Hoffman arose TO a question of
personal privilege and stated that GER
tain ones in the convention had circu-
lated untruthful reports rejecting upon
Mr.. Strickley's integrity and capacity
Mr.. Hoffman deprecated any such tao
tics, and the convention, by its cheers
for the speaker, who eulogized Mr..
Strickley as a broad minded, big
hearted. honest miner and business
man, demonstrated that it was with
him.
The second ballot to elect the third
county commissioner was then taken.
Before the result was announced
George Emery withdrew Mr.. Summer
hays in favor of Mr.. Haigh Protests
were raised against the withdrawal,
but the changing of votes in favor 90
Mr.. Haigh went on. The First changed
from Summerhays to Haigh one vote
and the Second took two from the
withdrawn candidate and gave them
to Haigh. The Fourth precinct changed
from 80 to AZ for Haigh.
Delegate Westerfield objected to the
changing of votes because it was i'm
possible to verify the changes. A mo-
ton was made to take new ballot, but
it failed to carry.
HAIGH NOMINATED.
The second ballot for the third COM
missioner resulted as follows:

clamation of Mrs. Wells and Mrs
Smith

seconding went on as usual.
TEN SELECTED.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot. During the taking of the same
1t was noticed that Arthur Brown and
his friends displayed particular activity
against one of the lady candidates, the
claim being made that if elected she
would be for Frank j. Cannon This
had the effect of cutting down her vote
somewhat

were selected on the first ballot as will
be seen.

Thomas made two or three more al
lusions to Mckinley. and then Chap
lain Tiff offered prayer. Something
which was badly needed after the
speech.
The other officers were escorted to
the platform by Judge Richie and
John 7. AXton, after which an inquiry
was made for the committee on resolu-
lions. But they were not to be found
so a delegate moved to appoint a COM
mittee of three to solicit subscriptions
to pay for the theatre. The chair did
not wait to put a motion, but ap-
pointed Delegates Standish and Harper
to take up a collection.
P A Dix wanted to know how much
had to be raised so he could contribute.
When the chair said $3.50 Dix fell in a
faint.

all rules be suspended and the conven-
ton proceed to nominate candidates.
This was opposed by Jack DaVeler
and Farley Christensen, both of whom
maintained such a proceeding would
be manifestly unfair to the members
of the committee.
The amendment failed by an over
whelming vote against it and then:

The features of the opening of the
afternoon session were the features of
Mckinley, which some man slipped in
during recess.
After a number of delegates had ar

amused himself trying TO chase the

Nominated.
THE EVENING SESSION.

The reconvened session in the even
ing was commenced with nominating
speeches for candidates for county
commissioners
The ball was opened by a delegate
from Big Cottonwood placing in nom
ination the name of D. 3. Brinton of his
own district.
AS one who could poll the entire Re
publican vote and who possessed all
the necessary qualifications, r. c..
Knudsen of Big Cottonwood was pro-
posed by p. A Dix.
Andrew Jensen nominated Charles
Hahn of Murray.
Colonel Squires said that the Repub-
llcan voters outside the city were not
divided, and if the city voters kept the
faith victory is certain. His candidate
w. w. Wilson of Sandy, had plenty of
sand and all other qualifications.
delegate who wanted an end put
to muddy and dusty roads. declared
his support for Wilson of Sandy.
Warren Lyon offered the name of
Harrison r. Shurtliff.
Hal w. Brown, the well known bus
mess and mining man, had his praises
sung by Jack Daveler.
Judge Street made hit in propos-
ing the name of w. H. Haigh of Tay-
louisville, whom he characterized as a
most capable, honest, progressive and
trustworthy man. d
That Republican warhorse, Joseph W.
Summerhays of Forest Dale. was nom
mated by George NJ. Cannon.
w. j. Strickley of Bingham was de-
clared by Frank Hoffman to be of the
stuff of which the. best county commits
sioners are made.
Wilson's nomination was seconded by
William Elliott, Sam Perry, James De-
vine and Jake Greenewald, all McKin-
ley men.
Ben Cutler, ]. l.. Weller and John
WiscOmb raised their voices in sup
port of Strickley of Bingham
Seconds came from all parts of the
house for Brinton, Haigh, Summerhays,
Hahn and Knudsen
Delegate Gibson seconded the nomin-
alton of somebody who would
strengthen the Democratic mean
the Republican ticket" The delegate
got no further in his remarks, and the
name of his favorite was lost in the
cheers and laughter that followed his
blunder
delegate from Murray wanted to
second the nomination of one of the
candidates because the women, as well
as the Workingmen, wanted to see him
elected county commissioner. The del
egate and his favorite were swallowed
up in the resulting noisy demonstra-
tions.
E. B. Critchlow moved to elect Hal
Brown as one of the county commits
sioners by acclamation, but the motion
was lost.
BROWN AND WILSON NODII-
MATED.
Balloting was then resorted to, re-
Sulting as follows:

BIG CARGO OF GOLD.

Next Steamer Will Bring Two or
Three Millions.
Seattle, Wash. Sept. 23.-The steam
schooner Samoa arrived here tonight
from st. Michaels. Alaska, with 50
Klondikers and gold dust estimated at
800 900. Among the Samoa's pas
sengers was DR.. Wolf of San Fran
cisco. The officers of the Samoa say
that the steamer Bertha was to sail
from ST. Michaels, Sept. -. for San
Francisco, with one of the largest gold
cargoes of the season. They esti-
mated that it would be between one
half and three millions. A number of
rich miners were to come down on the
Bertha, among them the Berry broth
ers of San Francisco.
The steamer Alki arrived today from
Skaguay with go passengers. most of
whom were from Copper River. Fiji
teen passengers from Dawson had a
small amount of gold dust.
