TABERNACLE FAIR OPENS.
Imposing Ceremonies When the
Queen Is Crowned.

The first tabernacle fair of Weber
stake opened last night with blaze of
electric lights, with professions, music
and flags BETTING the occasion. Thou
sands of people attended the exer-
cises, and the space within the en-
closure presented a most animated APP
pearance. The ceremony of browning
the queen was the most interesting
event of the evening. The platform
was arranged on a level with the win
dows of the west end. Shortly after
s o'clock the curtains which were about
this platform were drawn, disclosing
the queen, Mrs. r. c. Smith, her maids
of honor, Miss Lolita Johnson and Miss
Nettie Herrick, two little flower girls,
Lucille Valentine and Edith Corey,
together with Judge Rolapp. When
the applause had subsidized. Judge
Rolapp, in brief speech, presented in
behalf of the committee, the diamond
ring, and next placed the crown on
the head of the queen. Immediately
the electric bulbs on the ornaments
flashed out with light producing a
striking and novel effect. Mrs. Srnitn
made a brief address of welcome, re-
ferring 10 the historic interest of the
occasion, and the Significance of the
event She further said, I'm all ages,
in all lands, men have ever held it
fitting to build temples unto the

RAW REPUBLICAN WORK.
Weber Commissioners Evade Election
LAWS Requirements.

Law > hGu QlIS1u6lllS.
The Republican board of county
commissioners yesterday ignored the
fact that Ogden City, at the last cleo
ton, cast a heavy majority for Z. II.
Roberts, the head of the Democratic
ticket, and in appointing the registra-
ton agents for the coming city cleo
ton named twenty-five Republicans,
one for each of the election DISTRICTS.
The basis of the strange proceeding is
found in the letter of Clerk Hollings-
worth to the three chairmen of the diff
ferent campaign organizations of the
last election. In this letter, the clerk
pointed out that by the returns the
Republicans were entitled to the agent
in the Sixth. Twelfth, Seventeenth
Nineteenth and Twenty-third districts,
but that he was unable to say what
proportion of the Roberts vote IN the
other precincts was Democratic and
what proportion Bryan silver
Accordingly, the commissioners went
over the list of recommendations made
by the Republican chairman and as
smoothly as if the affair had been all
prearranged, named the agent from
this list, the first of the three names
chosen being the one selected in al
most every instance.
The appointees are:
First-Jerome Brown. 81 ~.
Second-Svlvester Packer. ~
Third. P. Mcdowell.
Fourth-George w. Murphy
Fifth-W. G. Child.
Sixth-William e, Butcher.
Seventh-D NJ. Mckee.
Eighth-David Munro.
Ninth-John T. Smit.,.
Tenth-William H. Chase.
Eleventh., H. Gordon.
Twelfth-Neils Anderson.
Thirteenth-H. 7. Stone
Fourteenth-A. T. Hertmark.
Fifteenth-Herman Kuchler.
Sixteenth-Joseph Baxter.

Twenty fifth-C. A. Porter.
When the action Of the commission
in denying representation to all eX-
cept Republicans became known, it
aroused a great deal of comment.
Democrats almost without exception
were unanimous in condemning ii as
a partisan measure, and as one that
NOulu react against tie parties res
ponsible for it. Democrats generally
were in favor of carrying the matter
into the courts, if need be. This plan
was urged alike by members of both
wings of the Democracy. 1t was urged
that this should tend to unite the
straight Democracy and Bryan silver
ties.
Chairman Conroy said: 1T seems to
me to be a partisan action. and that
| the commissioners have not given us
the representation to which we are
entitled. We shall not be inactive in
the matter, but shall look up our rights
and take whatever steps are necessary
to protect them
