SNUB FOR GOVERNORS
DiScOUrteOuS Treatment Accord
ed Them BY the House.
Special to The HERALD

Washington, March 1.-The memorial
adopted at the conference Of western
governors held here on Washington's
birthday was presented in the house
this afternoon by Representative Shat
roth, who asked that it be read. The
memorial is a brief one. not exceeding
800 words in length. but Republican
leaders of the house did not deem the
document signed by the executives Of
seven states worthy OF even courteous
reception.
Representative Payne Of Syracuse
promptly objected 10 it's reading The
western members of congress are quite
indignant over t''e treatment accorded
this paper which they hold to be quite
distinct In character from ordinary pc
titiOns etc, which are not read.
10 has been many years since any
group Of governors has adopted a mem
Ori8l 10 congress. and Mr. Payne 5
course has aroused much criticism. and
as he is the Republican leader on the
floor of the house the adverse comment
naturally extends TO his party.
Representative Shafroth said TONIGHT
that the treatment was unusual and
very displeasjng TO him He called at
tentlOn TO the fact that the governors
of these States, had they asked a per-
SOnat hearing IN congress. would I'M
doubtedly have been accorded il. and
that they represented states having an
area greater than New England. New
York. the other middle states and the
south altogether. and possesses vast in
tCrests and an important influence ON
The affairs Of the nation.

/ that the one of his choice had a head
| full of brains, that he is an ardent
worker for the triumph of Democratic
principles, is more in touch with the
national leaders than any other man in
| Utah and the party could do no better
nor could honor itself no greater than
by nominating and electing D. c. Dun

| Robert W. Sloan seconded the noui-

Joshua Greenwood of BIfllard county

Senator Evans. with characteristic
/ eloquence, maintained that David Dun

tory.
Representative Mansfield pleaded for
the nomination OF King and a. J. Weber

the man.
Ex-senator Hamer, as one who de-
! plored the insinuations that had been

Of Judge King.
Before the ballot was taken NJ. L
Snow Of Box Elder county. withdrew
the name Of H. 2. Henderson from
nomination, stating that Mr.. Henderson
refused, on any account, to allow his
name to go before the convention A
recess of ten minutes was taken al i
O'Clock in order 10 prepare the ballots
for the congressional nominee. It was.
however, plainly a foregone conclusion
that Judge King would have practically
walk over in the nomination.
Before the Utah county vote had been
announced. Waldemar Van Colt made
motion TO make the ballot unanimous
in favor Of King The chair ruled that
the question be suspended until Utah
county was heard from. The vote was
then announced as 1884, for King and
1751s for Dunbar. The vote was made
unanimous.
Then d. H Peery Of Salt Lake county
arose and said:
I wish to state that can not and
will not support W. H. King. In DO
ing so I am following the sacred prin-
ciples so ably defended by the saintei
idol Of this convention in the last sena-
torial fight. when he absolutely refused
TO abide by the decision Of the majority.

in taking this action I burn behind me

1t was with a feeling of relief that
the convention turned to the nominal
tion Of candidates for congress, which
came next in order. When Beaver
county was named as the first in the
roll call, a delegate arose and sal
Beaver would waive her right to place

of Salt Lake. Mr.. RideOut was recog-

William H. King in the following able
speech, which was greeted with wild
enthusiasm at the close. Mr.. Rideout
spoke as follows:
In determining the candidates the
two questions foremost in the minds of
every delegate Is, is he capable? VIII
he represent Utah in the legislative as

question is, will he command the
strength of the party at the polls?
