Such a proposition he designated as be-
ing unjust and a scheme to deprive the
! fractions of their just rights. He con-
GUIDED his remarks by stating that the
minority report in toto was an unjust
one, and should not be entertained by
the convention.
Alfales Young advocated the minority
report. and urged that the convention
stop wrangling and get down to bust
ness. The demand for a vote increased,
and although twenty men were on their
feet demanding recognition, the motion
was put on the adoption of the minor
ity report. A great roar Of ayes was
followed by another roar Of noes. and
Chairman Harris judici0usly announced
the vote a tie. A standing vote was de-
manded and taken. and the chair an
nouneed the minority report adopted.
Poll of Districts Demanded.
B. T. Lloyd rushed to the front Of the
stage and demanded poll of the dis
tricts and repeated the demand, but was
ruled out Of order, as the chair had an
nOunced q. decision. At the same time
Mr.. Dale, who had resumed the chair
stated that if it were the wish of the
convention. he would gladly have the
districts pOlled. But the convention
was in no humor for further delay, as
II was growing late, and a recess Of
ten minutes was taken to enable the
districts TO select their state delegates.
At the close the following delegates
and alternates We're chosen. The cOun-
try districts were called first, as the
delegates were in a hurry to start for
home, and as the reports were given in
the delegates left the hall, so that at the
end but feW persons were left. The
convention did not adjourn; it melted
away.

MAJOR LEVEI'S HOME BURNED
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE HAS NOT
DEVELOPED.
Loss on Building and Contents is
Estimated at $500, Covered By
Insurance.

David L. Levey returned to his home
at 10 o'clock last night TO find il IN
flames. The building is a one-story
frame, situated at 210 Tenth East street.
and the estimated loss on building and
contents is $500, fully insured.
Mr.. Levey and his family were down
town in the evening, and the house was
deserted when the blaze started TrOm
a short distance the flames were seen
coming up through the roof and the
owner himself turned in the alarm
The departments ready response was
all that prevented a wholesale cOnha-
grafton.
Assistant Chief Mccarthy found the
fire well under way. and il took some
time to get it under control.
As near as could be ascertained, the
blaze started in the basement, and
from an unknown cause. There were
no fires in the house when the family
left, and the incendiary theory is leaned
to. The latter is strengthened by the
fact that the roof was on fire in two
places The greatest loss consists Of
furniture and household goods
The Democratic drum corps imple-
ments were all in the house, and were
rescued before the flames had spread

QUIET WEEK IN BUSINESS

Has Bout with Peerv.


Judge Shiras of the supreme court, he
said. changed his mind on the income
tax law, and he supposed the members
of the committee had the same right
10 change. The minority report, he
urged, was Democratic; 1t was the re-
port called for by the state committee
and should be adopted by the conven-
ton.
d H Peery, jr-, got the floor next
and referred to Judge Timmony's
'grandstand play" He asserted that
Judge Timmony was mistaken in his
statement as to the unanimity of the
committee. TimmOny Teasserted the
statement. and referred to MT Lloyd
as authority. Mr.. Peery accepted this,
but Lloyd refused to interfere.
DR.. Anderson then caught the chair
mans eye. He said: I was d men,
Der of that committee, aud I want to
say we want that report adopted be-
cause it is Democratic is every respect.
I am perfectly willing that every sew
enty votes be represented, and l say
that if am only one I want a voice
in the selection of the delegate from
the other district which has the other
siXty-nine. 1t is equitable and just that
every one shall have a voice in the Sc
lection of delegates.
In answer to the allegations from the
other side of the house b. T. Lloyd
maintained that he had a perfect right
to change his mind, and as to what
time Timmony left the committee room
he was in total ignorance. He con-
tended that the majority report was
Democratic to the core, because it
gave every one his just rights. 1t was
the best and most satisfactory way 10
dispose of the fractions.
Mr. Dale at this DOiDt called Mr. Har-
ris to the chair and took the floor in
favor Of the minority report He
hurled back the insinuation that the
minority report was in favor of any
man. 1t was the plan. he said. adopt

R. W. sloan's Remarks.
r. w. Sloan. with impasslbned en-
phasis, reminded the convention that it
was convened TO elect 124 delegates
and no matter what disposition was
made IN the matter. the total number
selected would first, last and all the
time be the same and that if any in
crease was made in any district, it
would be TO the detriment of some
other district
So far as the alleged switching of
members Of the committee on the report
from the minority TO the majority re-
port wac concerned. Mr.. Sloan stated
that he was informed that but one man
changed his name, for reasons best
known 20 himself. At this iuncture
the clamor question" question" rang
through the ball; finally Sheriff HOwels
introduced a motion to the effect that
the gentleman who had the floor
should be unmolcsted." After normal
quietude had returned. Mr.. Sloan pro-
ceeded 20 state that the matter under
discussion was simply one of mathe-
MATES, wherein il was attempted to
give delegate 10 thirty-siX votes and
deny the same privilege TO thirty-four.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-02-25

Thomas W, Green demanded the right
to be recognized by the chair just as
often as r. W. Sloan was recognized,
which turned the laugh on Sloan.
The decorations of the Theatre for
the convention were very simple and
in excellent taste Flags and bunting
we're nicely draped about the galleries.
and on the stage in front Of the speak
eT6' table was a Tine portrait Of Colonel
Bryan. draped in flags. The decorations
were the work of David L. Levy.
The convention got the laugh on Os-
car w MOyle when he arose to protest
against some action. The court has
said" he began, with some warmth.
He got no further. His voice was
drowned in the general roar.
One of the county delegates was
aroused TO much enthusiasm BY the
playing Of the Red, White and Blue"
by Held's band. Mr. Speaker" he said,

asked il he would entertain that mo-

When w. c. a. smoot. jr., stepped up
to hand telegram TO the chairman,
he stepped on the tail of a dog that had
sought quiet and repOse among the mU-
sieians The repor. that followed was
startling TO Mr.. SmOot, at least.
Morris SOmmeF was so anxious that
