The above ticket was placed in NOM
ination yesterday by the Republican
an ordinary Republican convention, as
well attended and probably as enthusi-
astic as such gatherings in Weber
county usually are.
There were few contests for the
places on the ticket, there being only
one candidate except for the places OF
county commissioner, attorney and one
place On the legislative ticket. The
silver Republicans did everything pos
sible to prevent attendance at the con-
Vention. No sooner were the delegates
named at the primaries Monday even
ing than lists were taken by the Can
non people, and PROSECUTING began To
keep nfembers-elect of the delegations
from attending the convention. This
PROSECUTING was continued up to the
very door of the convention, and even

making herculean efforts to get at
tendance at their primaries, and they
flooded the floor of the Republican con-

a dodger as follows:

silver men and women, attend these
BY order of the silver Democratic
committee. A. ]. WEBER,
Chairman.
III. r. MACMILLAN, Secretary"
The names of the places mentioned
in the dodger were the names of the
places where the alleged silver Demo
it will be seen that all silver men
and women" were desired to swell the
crowd. The convention gave as little
comfort to the "conglomerates' as did
the Democratic convention, and showed
marked hostility to -partisanism'
in their resolutions. AT least one of
those of he Republican committee,
whose resignation from the committee
was published, took part in the pro-
tp irIGf O
though it was claimed he resigned to
favor Cannon.

PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The resolutions simply reaffirmed the
allegiance of the party in Weber eoun-
ty to the state organization and adopt
ed the state platform of the last state
convention. In conclusion the resolu-
tions say:
BE it further resolved that the can
didates for the legislature nominated
at this convention, be and they are
hereby instructed 10 support no one for
the United States senate unless he be
a pronounced Republican, sound on
protection, reciprocity and the free and
Independent coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 TO l, as set forth in this
platform.
I'VE sincerely regret the unfortunate
step taken by a number of our former
associates in boiling the Republican
party and in calling themselves silver
Republicans. on the false assumption
that they can thereby more certainly
obtain the free and independent coin
age Of silver at the ratio of 16 to i,
sincerely believing that the result they
seek TO obtain can be better and more
certainly obtained through the ranks
of the Republican party"
