CONVENTION TOMORROW.
Big Fight Among Republicans Over
the Offices.

The Republican county convention will
be held at the county building tomorrow.
AS the time for the convention APP
proacheS the interest in the outcome be-
comes more keen. 1t is reported that
some of the politicians are offering 50
each for proxies to the convention. The
indications are that the original slate al
most to a man will go through, which
will mean a ticket almost entirely COM
posed of MOrmOnS. The fight for the
nomination for county clerk still holds
the center of the stage. One of the
claims made by Mr.. Mattson as a reason
for why he could be renominated is that
he was instrumental in unearthing a
bounty fraud in Weber county 1t is a
well known fact that the credit for this
expose belongs to Sheriff Emery of Salt
Lake.
