The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-11

convention in Salt Lake was neiu yes
terday afternoon. 1t was a working
convention. All the bitterness seemed
to have ended at the primaries and
everything passed off smoothly.
The anti-fusion people controlled the
/ convention, having all the delegates
except those Of the Fourth ward and
some few scattering ones. from other
wards. with here and there a delegate
! from the outside precincts. The con-
( Vention made record for rapid work,
J there being no parliamentary tangies
or long debates.
DR.. p. M. Conroy was chairman and
was elected as the committeeman at
large for the county. The county COM
mittee was reorganized and consists
of ten members
The anti-fusionists were in high
! feather after the convention, claiming
| that their. victory was more complete
than if every member of the conven-
ton had been lin anti-fusionist. AS
! one member of the Fourth ward dele
CATION. which was known as the fusion
| delegation expressed it: we We're
beaten. and we haven't anything to
| complain about. Our main trouble
seems to have been the lack of support.
The people don't want cooperation and
they seem to be content with the plan
]
or protest we had to make was listened
to and carefully considered and was
generally outvoted by about four to
one Our vote on Fouiger for commit
teeman at large showed our strength,
or rather our lack of it, There is moth
ing to do now but fuse with the other
Democrats"
The delegates are probably all anti
fusion except those selected by the
Fourth ward delegation.
