DECLARED TO BE INSANE.
Verdict of Jury in Case of Samuel q
Young.

Samuel G. Young, who attempted suicide
last Thursday evening, was today declared
to be insane by a jury sitting at the city
hall. Melancholia, with suicidal tendency,
was decided on as the specific complaint
with which Mr.. Young is suffering. He did
not appear before the jury, being unable to
leave the Emergency Hospital, owing to a
cold and a temporary physical disability
resulting from the recent attempt to end
his life.
The witnesses who appeared today were
DR.. Henry d. Fry, DIR. j. S. McLain and
William p. Young, the latter brother of
the man whose sanity was in question. 1t
was testified. in substance, that Mr..
Ioung's mental condition is bad, that 1t is
growing worse and that it would be neces-
sary, for proper treatment, to commit him
to an asylum. He will be taken to St.
ElZabeth'S as soon his physical condi-
tion warrants his removal from the Emer-
gency Hospital

A petition in equity was today filed by
George Henning, asking the court TO ap-
point William w. Lewis, or some other
suitable person his guardian, for the pur-
pose of signing consent to his enlistment in

plains that his mother is dead and that he

that the best interests of the cause of

That we endorse the principles of the

To the Convention:
Your committee on conference begs

would be not one of election, but of the
size of its majority. He extended a
special welcome to the goodly number
of silver Republicans. He made an
earnest plea in advance for the adop-
ton of the report of the conference
stage was being whispered about as
being rather unsatisfactory. I. D.
Johnson of the committee reported the
following resolutions:
We hold that the object and end of
party organization are TO maintain us
principles and to secure legislation (and
to assure in the management of the al
fairs of government, its enforcement in
accord with the principles for which the
party stands; that men honored with Of
maintenance of party principle; that
party machinery is useful and necessary
to secure a free expression OF opinion OF
men ard measures by the body or the
party; that party leadership is desirable
only when IL results from voluntary
recognition by the people of qualities and
capacity for leadership.
We maintain that when the machinery
of a party is used to secure in position
any man or set of men, when 1T seeks TO
make principles SubSerylent to 1ndl-
vidual interest when it lends itself as
tool to be used for the qualification OF
personal ambition; when in furtherance
ures with the view of Suppressing the
free choice of the people, ii no longer
deserves the respect nor the allegiance
of the members of the party. and by such
acts, forfeits its right of control.

well as of government, are not only justi-
fed but are under a sacred obligation. to
take away the power of those unworthiy
using it, and 10 manage for themselves

it.
Resolved. That we. the Democrats of
Weber county in convention assembled,
condemn the un-Democratic and unfair

convention held in Weber county to select

sheriff, recorder. attorney and two
county commissioners.
To the Populists: One representative
and assessor.
To the silver Republicans: One rep
resentative. one county commissioner
and surveyor.
Mr.. Evans asked if the nominations
would be made by each convention for
itself. or if this convention would have
anything to say about the other candi-
dates.
Mr.. Horn explained that the commit
tee had agreed that each convention
should choose its own nominees. and
/ that the other conventions would ratify
them. The report was adopted.
Mr.. Evans named for state senator.

/ through by acclamation.
| Mr.. McCardle asked that the rules be
| suspended. and that the naming Of
! four representatives be put over Tor an
! hour, until he could receive q message
from Mr.. Carr, in Omaha, as to wheth-
er he would accept the nomination BY
a viva voce vote the motion was lost,
but, after further discussion, it carried.
For county clerk, Peter NJ. Folkman
of Warren was put up for sacrifice by
John Spires of Plain City. Mr.. Folk
man got it by acclamation. He prom
ised to be honest and to work for
Frank j. Cannon for the senate.
John S. Corlew was named for the
position of recorder by Nathan Tan
ner. Mr.. Cureton named James z.
Ballantyne. The vote resulted in favor
of Ballantyne, but before it could be
announced. Mr.. Corlew moved for the
nomination of Ballantyne by acclama-
ton. The ballot showed that seven
county precincts were not represented.
Where a delegation was represented
even by one member the full vote was
cast, and this made it appear that 175
delegates voted.
For sheriff, Frank D. HigginbothaIn,
jr., was the nominee by acclamation.
He made a nice little speech of accept
ance. as did Thomas Maloney, when
named for county attorney. In placing
Maloney before the convention, Mr..
Taylor said he was a man who could
now saw wood, and was, moreover. the
best-looking man in the county J. E.
Ballantyne likewise made a little talk
at this time.
For treasurer, Mr.. McCardle named
MorOni Brown. Mr.. Brown got 1t by ac-
clamation, and he talked pleasantly
At this juncture Mr.. Horn of the
conference committee appeared and
announced that the silver Republican
party had accepted the apportionment

yer Republicans and Cannon Demo-
Gratis. The action precipitated a bolt
from the Populist convention. The sill
yer Republicans call themselves the
Cannon bimetallic party, with the an
chor as their emblem. The Cannon
Democrats adopted the name, Bryan
silver party. and adopted the flag as
their emblem. Thus three emblems will
surmount the one ticket put up by the
three conventions. The Populist ticket
will be led by Warren Foster, who is
fighting B. H. Roberts for congress.
and whose state organization is opposed
TO fusion. The Bryan silver party will
run the names of Roberts and Baskin
at the head of its ticket, and the Can
non bimetallic ticket is simply a county
ticket and will have no congressional
candidate at its head.
The ridiculous position of these trip
licate alliance candidates may be well
shown in the case of S. S. Smith, one
of the candidates for representative. He

delegates cast about 175 votes. The
Cannon machine worked pretty well;
! and the slate candidates went through
without a hitch. The only breakdown
was with the Populists, where a bolt of
considerable proportions occurred.
AS matters stand now the silver Re
publicanS, or Cannon bimetalliStS, are
against their state organization, and
the Cannon Democrats are against
their regular county organization,
while protesting to be with their state
organization, whose name they do not
take and whose emblem they supplant
with another. 1t is a grand scramble
! for office.
The convention of the boiling Demo-
cratic party was called TO order by a.
J. Weber. chairman of the provisional
committee, who used a hatchet, in lieu
of tomahawk. as a gavel. He stated
that while many of the precincts were
unrepresented at present, they would
all be present this afternoon. He also
stated further that this faction of the
Democracy was organized, would con-
troll, etc. etc.
He then named Peter Anderson of the
Third, as temporary chairman, and
Mrs. A. r. Charter as secretary, assist
ant secretary, Mrs. George w. Jones.
In introducing Mr.. Anderson, Mr..
Weber said: Il take pleasure in pre-
senting to you one of the strongest of
the insurgents"
Mr. Anderson in his remarks thanked
the convention and expressed the con-
fidence that success would attend the
deliberations of this convention. He
urged caution.

W. H. Carlton, David Evans and A.

then the vote was taken adopting the
