Allen Asked For Speed.

While waiting for the committee TO
produce the guests, Allen asked why
the convention should be delayed
longer by the slowness of the commit
tee on resolutions. He moved to sus-
pend the rules and proceed with the
nominations. The motion was quickly
seconded and carried amid applause
and cheers
According to the rules, the judgeship
came first. d n. Straup of Salt Lake
stood in the wings and caught the eye
of Chairman Booth. and in well chos-
en- words placed the name of Judge
Mccarthy before the convention. His
name was loudly cheered. showing the
feeling of the delegates towards him.
w. ID. Livingston of Manti nominated
Judge Johnson, who was also applaud
ed. F. B. Jones of Salt Lake seconded
the latter's nomination.
Right in the middle of his flow of
laudatious oratory, the invited guests
marched upon the stage, headed by
the committee sent out TO bring them
In. They were arraigned along in a
row in front of the supernumerary Of
hcers of the convention. They con-
sisted of Senators Beveridge, Warren
and Clark. Governors Wells and Rich
ards and Senator Kearns and Con-
gresham Sutherland. AS luck would
have ii, the two latter were given
seats Immediately behind Senator Bev-
eridge and Governor Richards. They
sat side by side, just as though they
heartily enjoyed each others company.
The Utah senator looked decidedly
glum and crestfallen.
On the other hand, Congressman
Sutherland seemed to be enjoying the
show" as Chairman Booth called 1t,
very much, His face wore a very hap
py expression. and he looked the audi
ence squarely in the face. Once in a
while returning a nod to those who
bowed to him,
Jones Talked On.
Mr.. Jones did not stop his nominal
ing speech for second while the dis
tinguished visitors were being seated.
Before they came in he had his back
TO the stage. and talked standing fac
ing the delegates. When he saw who
had come into the theatre. he turned
towards the stage and talked in the
direction of the visitors, as though
they might have a hand in the cleo
tion to follow very shortly. When the
visitors appeared upon the stage they
were loudly appiauded Mr.. Jones
paused once or twice. before he real
ICED for whom the demonstrations were
intended. seemingly thinking they we're
in recognition OF his telling remarks.
But when he learned the true cause. he
did not hesitate again until he sat
down at the conclusion of his speech.
McCarthy's nomination was then
seconded in the order named by 3. II.
Jones of Box Elder, J. Z. Bagley OF
Weber county and John Meter of
Sewer county, who made the finest
nominating speech Of the convention.
Then F.. II. Homer of Utah seconded
the nomination of Johnson, and men
from Wasatch and Carbon did likewise
for him and Mccarthy.
A Davis county man thought suffi-
cient oratory had been thrust upon the
convention by that time, and moved
10 proceed with the ballOting. His
suggestion was met with cheers, and
the Mccarthy adherents began
throwing printed ballots for their men
all over the house, they settling down
upon the heads of the delegates like
great flakes of snow The roIlcall re-
suited in the nomination of Judge Nc
Carly on the first ballot. who received
2SS votes TO Judge JOhnsOn's 149. The
vote by counties follow:
Ballot on Judge.
