Logan, Oct. 1.-The Cache county
Democracy held the greatest conven-
ton in its history today, when the leg
islative and county tickets were named.
Nearly every delegate elected was pres
ent, and enthusiasm ran high. ]. g.
Thoresen. who was temporary chair
man Of the convention, made a splendid
talk on assuming the chair and drew
forth tremendous applause in handling
the local situation. He scathingly ar
raigned the local e. o. 2. for its dis
reputable work in attempting TO place
eX-Democratic county officers in The at
titude OF thieves and embezzlers. He
characterized their platform as a foul
scurrilous document, and remarked: Il
want 10 say that any man who, aspir-
ing TO a legislative position, would par
ticipate in framing such a document is
H. mire SO deep as to be entirely be
meath the dignity of chat position" IL
was a keen thrust at two Of the Repub-
lican legislative nominees.
The speakers allusion to Judge
Powers brought forth a storm Of APP
plause, and his remark that Chairman
Spry's threat of taking Mormon Demo-
Gratis to vote for Howell and Cutler can
not be carried out, because the people
are learning that it is best always to
vote their honest convictions, sent the
crowd wild.
He called attention to the fact that
Cache county is full of paid Republican
heelers. and in earnest, eloquent tones
urged his hearers 10 assert their indi-
YiGuallty and not to be trampled upon
by these hirelings, but to work unceas-
irgly for success.
I'VE haven't much money" he said,
but we have plenty of good horse
sense, the best men, the best principles
and the best prospects" and the con-
vention again made a great demonstra-
ton. The ticket named follows:
