Ogden, Sept. 10.-The silver Republican
organization of Weber county met today
at the State Journal office and held
conference with Senator Cannon, ex-Sen-
ator Dubois also being present. The Pop
ulist committee was also in session in an
adjacent room, and an exchange of views
was had between the two gatherings.
Plans of campaign were discussed from
the silver Republican standpoint, and the
situation discussed in all its bearings
Senator Cannon made a speech of con-
siderable length, in which he renowned
all selfish interest, saying ne cared not
straw for any effect on his personal in
terests so long as the cause of bimetallism
was served He had left the Republican
party because it was under the direction
OF trusts and the money power. The G..

in every state except Utah and declared
for the gold standard. He could not atiili-

cooperate with the Democratic party,

if elected from Utah, would have no
standing in national councils unless he
stood ready to abide by the party caucus,
and his party'S caucus would undoubtedly
bind him to work and vote against silver.
He eulogized Senator Cannon and thought
he should be reelected. The Idaho fusion
ticket, he says, will sweep the state. Mr..
Dubois went east tonight.
Several communications passed between
the Populist convention and the silver Re
publican committee. and it was finally ar
ranged that the two bodies meet at a fu-
ture day to be hereafter agreed up by the
committees. The silver Republican people
offer TO meet when the Populists are
ready and discuss a joint plan of cam

This arrangement was agreed to about

was strongly anti-fusion, having adjourn
ed at BIS.

A LONG DEBATE.

Immediately after the result Of the
first ballot was announced, and Arm
strong, Whitaker and Wooley were de-
clared the nominees, B. ]. Stewart of
Draper arose and, with much feeling,
entered a protest against three candi-
dates being selected from the city and
leaving the county unrepresented,
showing the manifest injustice of such
proceeding He offered. a motion
that the two highest from the city and
the one highest from the county be
declared nominated.
Armstrong stepped forward, admit
ting the claim of the delegates from
the county and declined the nomination
in favor of a candidate from outside
the city. His act of sacrifice was re-
ceived with great applause.
Mr.. Cassidy placed a motion before
the house to take q new ballet.
E w. Wilson moved that Rawlins,
Woolley and Whitaker be the noml-
nees of the convention.
At this point the motion to recon-
slider and take new ballot received
second.
NJ E. Mulvey maintained that the
three receiving the highest vote should
be the nominees.
]. NJ. Denny brought up the claim
that it was possible, under the system
of balloting. for more than three 10
receive a majority vote. He. therefore,
declared the vote illegal. Each dele
gate had voted for three candidates on
one ballot.
W. Van Colt contended that the vote
was illegal if more than three candi-
dates received a majority of all the
votes.
John L. Nebeker offered the sugges-
ton that, there being 55S delegates, if
the total votes only numbers 1874, it
would show that no more votes had
been cast than were legal.
Cassidy moved that the vote be void;
not because it was illegal, but for
the reason that the party could not
afford to hazard itself by ignoring the
county. He, therefore, urged that a
new ballot be taken.
Hugh Watson was opposed to the
motion. The three candidates had re-
ceived the highest vote, and if the
county had made a mistake they
should take their medicine.
o. w. Moyle said that if a new vote
was taken. the same conditions would
confront them again. He attempted
to show that it would be possible for
five men to have a majority. There

Boise, Ida, Sept 1O.-One of the
Populist tickets has been filed with
Secretary of State Lewis and the
other is under consideration. The
ticket filed is that nominated by the
Blake convention. The filing hour was

Amusement
Just what action the secretary will
take is not known, but it is thought he
will decline to file the Taylor ticket.
If so, a writ of mandate will be ap-
piled for and this will bring the whole
matter up in the supreme court. If
both tickets are filed some other action
will be taken TO bring the matter be-
fore the court at once. 1t is announced
as the intention of the factions to have
the question of regularity passed on
Immediately. They will ask for a
special term before the adjourned ses-
sion on the 18th.
In Nebraska, it has been held that it
is not the province of the courts to
determine which is the regular ticket
in such a case as this. In Washington
the court held there cannot be two
names on the ballot with the same
name Colorado has held both ways
on the question.
Both tickets offered for filing at the
office of the secretary of state bear the
name Peoples Party Ticket" and it
must be determined which is entitled
to the name of official ballot or whether
both shall be printed thereon.

shortly before o'clock. It spread like
lightning. The streets were suddenly filed
with multitudeS of people, many Of them
becoming impossible for vehicles.
Extra editions were issued by all the
papers. Many VienneSe considered the
report incredible until the semi-official
Weiner Abend Post appeared confirming
the statements of the other papers.
All the papers accompanied the an

empress. They were eagerly snatched

will meet with the appreciation of the
vast multitudes who know John How
ellis.
The contest for the legislature was
a long drawn out affair, owing TO the
large number of candidates and the
determination Of their friends TO keep
them in the race, when their chances
Tor winning were past. Two ballots
were taken yesterday. On the first, c.
NJ. Jackson of Salt Lake City and A.
w. Foreman were nominated. On the
second, Mrs. Alice Merrill Horne, John
7. Hansen and r. 3. Shepard were
selected, the nomination of Albert
Spencer, the next highest, being made
unanimous.
The completion of the legislative
ticket brought on the contest for the
commissioners. The timber placed be-
fore the convention was all of an ex-
cellent character, and the convention
could not possibly make mistakes. II
will be noted that the convention got
itself int d little muddle, but the diff
ficulty was overcome very easily, and
the candidates selected were nominated
amid the greatest enthusiasm

was no evidence to show that anyone
had voted for more than three persons.
The three gentlemen receiving the
highest\ vote should be nominated.
Nels Linn said that the county
wanted representation. and asked if
the Democratic party can afford to
lose in the election.
John w. Burton said it was plain
that the vote was legal and mathe-
matically correct.
Thomas Marshall moved that the
three persons receiving the highest
number of votes should be the candi-
dates.
B. t. Lloyd said that if the three
who received the highest vote be the
nominees, the question arose, us it

should be represented. He didn't like
to hear delegates exclaim, I'VE will

tice be done to the county.
Heber Bennion said that the county
should have a representative, but that
he did not propose to bolt the ticket if
they didn't get it. They did not want
a candidate, however, at the expense of
Armstrong. The right thing to do was
to carry the motion to take a new
vote
Senator Whitaker arose and adj
dressed the convention as follows: "As
the member receiving the highest vote,
l request that the motion to reconsider
be we'll considered. The convention
cannot afford to ignore the county 1t
would make a great mistake. 1t is we'll

null and void is carried, it is for the
purpose of doing justice to the county

it may put my chances in jeopardy AS
Democrats we should see that justice
is done. no matter where it falls" Mr..
Whitaker was loudly applauded
Chairman Moyle here gave the infor-
nation that the secretary reported
gates.
Mr. Woolley stated that Whitaker
and Armstrong had expressed his SEN
timents. and that he was willing to
reconsider.
Stewart of Draper, who first filed the
protest, said that we are living in an
age when the will of the people should
govern, and they should not be bound
by any rules when it was the sense
that an injustice was done. 1t surely
is an injustice if the county is not rep
resented. The convention had it in its
power TO make it so the county would
be represented. If, however, it in
sisted on the three candidates from
the city as nominees, he would, as
faithful Democrat, go TO the polls and
vote the straight ticket.
Joseph Nj. Cohen took the floor and
argued that as they were following
Democratic principles, it was right to
submit to the will of the majority. and
favored the nomination of the three
highest candidates He asked of the
gentlemen from the country if two of
their numbers had received the highest
vote, would they not have gone back on

tending. The county had been given

The affair is a result of an ATTEMPT
by the church people of Miltonvale to
regulate the morals of the community
by heroic measures. They started out
to rid the town of joints. They first
assaulted Joe Benoit's place, where
they smashed everything. Peter Ham
merits place was next attacked The
doors being locked, they were broken
down with axes, whereupon the mob of
good people was fired upon from within
the saloon. One bullet ploughed through
the face of Editor Miller, wounding him
badly After the shootiE Hammerli

brought here. When the saloonkeeDer
and his guns had been ca9tured. the
