tspecial 10 The Herald.l


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 renounced
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..
o. +. had gone back on the great question
in every state except Utah and declared
for the gold standard. He could not atiili-
ate with such party. He was ready to
cooperate with the DemOcratic party,
through his own party. the silver Repu-
Hcan party, so long as the Democrats
stand by the principle of bimetalism- He
thought the local Democracy hOggiSh and
out of harmony with national leaders, but
would, nevertheless. cooperate with il
and vote with 1t, provided there was no
bimetanic ticket put up on the co-oDera-
tive basis lie believed strongly in the
Republican principle of protection, but
the Dingley bill did not come up to the
standard of protection, and he opposed il.
E-8-SSudlOr DuDOlS was dlSO present ana
arraigned the Utah Republicans in scath-
ing terms. 1t was dishonest trickery for
them to assume that they could be for
silver effectively, with the party. nation
ally. committed against it. A Republican,
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
paign.
This arrangement was agreed to about
49, the Democratic convention, which
was strongly anti-fusion, having adjourn
ed at BIS.
Abous 20 were present at the. silver Re
publican meeting.

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 Cott 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-
tion 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
