moved that all amendments be referred

the fact that the committee on plat

matter to that committee meant

voted down and Brown was asked 10

Wiley Braves the Storm.
Every ear was stretched forth 10
catch the slightest intOnatiOn of the
readers voice. Almost without warning
he mentioned the word 'tithing." Then
came the avalanche. Had every dele

a live wire the effect could not have
been greater. Yells cat calls Kisses

other man. Luckily for this man his
hearing is impaired and the boots and
Kisses passed off as water passes from
ducks back. He never wavered.
Like some tall cliff that lifts its aw-
fu form,
Swells from the vale, and midway

Though round its breast the rolling
cSouds are spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
After Brown had tried 10 read his
amendment and failed he was ordered
10 take the stage and read il from
there. He had been the soul of pro-
priety throughout the turmoil when il
seemed that delegates were bound TO
have his life's blood. He assembled the
stage and from there hurled his thun-
derbOlt.
Cause of the Tumult.
Here it is:
Be ii resolved by the Republicans OF
Salt Lake City: That We are unalterably
opposed 10 the payment of tithing out of
a. M
for services rendered TO the public or
supplies furnished for the public while
such fund or funds remain in the posses

disbursees, and we pledge the nominees
OF this convention. If elected, and all OIL
GERS and employees of this city elected or
appointed in future by the Republican
party to abstain from paying 1.-THE or
tithes out of any and every such fund
while in their possession or under their
control; and we further pledge the Repub-
10 do so. TO reduce the salaries of all Off
GERS and employees of said city TO per cent
in all instances where not inhibited from
.Siush,'i .'Bosh!" 'Rotten!" Put
him OUT" Go join the Americans
How much did they pay you?"
These and other like expressions were
hurled at Mr.. Brown as he moved that
this plank be substituted for the phrase
in the original platform and that such
labor shall be adequately compen-
stated"
AT this time the delegates were act
ing like a lot Of bowling dervishes.
Every semblance of order vanished.

You are out of order" yelled
Reiser
All on the Table.
Bishop William Mcmillan was recog-
nized by the chair and made a motion
10 table the amendment. In great con-
fusion the motion was put and declared
carried Then the awful discovery was
made that the whole platform was
tabled with the tithing amendment.
Willard Hanson made this discovery.
He made a motion to reconsider the
vote by which the report of the COM
mittee was tabled. This motion was
voted down.
Gleason 5. Kinney argued that the
Brown amendment was before the
house Others took the opposite view.
II was discovered in the miX-up that
Mr.. Browns motion 10 have the amend
ment made TO the platform was not
seconded and that il was never before
the convention for its action. With
xnis made clear. the platform as orig
inally read was taken from the table
and adopted. The storm was over.
