nominated George NJ. Cannon as chair
man OF the delegation.
| That was the opening gun of the fight.
and powder was burned with true Re
publican recklessness from that second
on.
Jake Greenewald nominated George

/ the fire and smoke by proposing the
name OF George Sutherland. The latter
I gracefully withdrew, and Mr.. Cannon

Wey's First Election.
A sigh that could be heard block
went over the house, the time had come
/ for the real tight TO begin. Mr..
| Cannon placed the name of ;. H.
! Love before the caucus as a candidate
| for member of the state central com
mittee. Chief Devine stood up straight
when he heard the nomination, gave
! his head a shake, which was some sort
of a signal to his regiment OF faithful
| followers. But before he could be
/ 0beyed Senator Brown, sutherland
man, nominated Judge d. II. Wenger.
/ Ii was then that the chiefs candidate
| the selection of the secret forenoon
| caucus, was trOtted out. The stable
boy act was done by Fred ]. Leonard,
who said A. Fred Wey should have
/ that honor conferred upon him.
| 1t was at this stage of the proceed
| ings that Z. Il. CritchlOW. Suther-
/ land man. made the first deploy 10
/ postpone further lighting until Thurs
| day, when there might be fun at
I tendance.
In answer to a question, Matt Dough
| erty said the motion of Mr.. Critchlow
| applied only TO the member of the state
| committee, and not to the permanent
| officers.
Jake Greenewald was indignant at
| the imDutation of Mr.. Critchlow that
! the two-thirds OF the delegates pres
/ ent were not capable Of acting in the
matter Of judicious selection.
| Some one in the rear of the hall yelled
out that the county delegates had not
| had time TO reach the city; that they
/ should be given a show for their white
| alley.
c. B. Allen said that If the selection
| of the committeeman was TO be put
over for few days, that the motion
should include the officers as well;
what was good for the goose was
sauce for the gander. He made
/ speech favoring a forward movement
To settle the dispute, which was en-
gendering some hard feelings, the chair
! had the secretary read the call, which
provided for the selection at this meet
| ing of all the places so far mentioned.
Cannon Still Belligerent.
| Even that did not take the fight out
| of Cannon, who is the head Of the How
| ell forces in this county, and he Of
fered an amendment TO the effect that
all bets be declared off, and that at
some future date the delegates meet
again and start all over in a new race.
Dougherty asked Cannon TO accept a
substitute that the meeting adjourn TO
meet again on Tuesday. Cannon OBJ
jected, on the ground that the country
delegates would have to make two Wis
its to the city. on Tuesday TO attend
the caucus, and on Thursday. when
they went to Ogden: advancing the
suggestion that they meet before that,
that the delegates might go to Ogden
| with a bold front by transacting their
I business before they went.
Lets do it now" shouted Dougher-
ty, amid applause from, the Devine
forces.
A L. SimOndi moved TO lay the
amendment and the substitute on the
table, which, under ordinary circum-
stances. would lay the original ques-
ton there also. When asked IL thai
would defeat the original motion, the
chair said he would rule that it would
not. SO a vote was taken, and tht
amendment and substitute we're tabled
by vote of 81 70 8.
Business then reverted to the origi.
nal motion.
Critchlow's Little Scheme.
Mr.. Critchlow then started off on {
new scheme to try and rout the Devin'
forces. He said 1t was possible thai
the convention might give the county
three members on the state commit
tee, and, with that possibility in view
why elect one now and the other two
after ogden was reached.
Dougherty moved to proceed will
the business before the meeting. anC
moved an amendment that the delega
ton ask the convention for two NOR,
state committeeman.
Seeing that Critchlow's little schem'
did not work, Arthur Brown raised {
point which led up TO trouble which
lasted for an hour. He wanted to know
whether they were to vote on the ques
tiOn by districts or by individuals. |
ballots were TO be cast by districts, h
asked-what was 20 be done as regards
those which were not represented.
No one seemed to know, and he sa
down amid absolute silence.
It was decided that as the names o
the three candidates were called, thos
in favor of them should vote in the af
frmative, and those opposed in tn
negative. If the chair could not de
eide each vote, a rising vote should b
taken, and, at the end, the one receiv
ing the greater number of votes SHOULD
be declared elected.
When the name Of $. II. Love wa
announced by the chair every one ap
parently voted aye, and then they a
voted no. The chair was undecided
and asked Mr.. Loves friends in tn
room to stand UP. Eighteen did so.
There were the same number c
shouts aye and nay when d. II. Wen
ger was put up. When his friend
were asked TO stand he found he ha
eighteen. the same as Mr.. Love
The shouting scene was enacted fo
a third time when A. Fred Wey's tur
came. But the standing count Shove
