To tho end that an increased interest inter-est muy be mvakeued in election matters and to endeavor to draw out tho entire vote of the territory on this important occasion, it has- been determined to hold a People's Territorial Terri-torial convention, comjioscd of delegates dele-gates from the several counties, to convene at the city hall in Salt Lake city, on Saturday, October 7th, 1S7G, at 12 m.

The number num-ber of delegates to compose the territorial terri-torial convention has been fixed at seventy eight, being twice the number num-ber of the councilors and representatives representa-tives in the legislative assembly, ond the allotment of delegates to the bov-'uial bov-'uial counties baa been based, as faraa posjible, upon their representation in the legislature. To secure the proper election of these delegates it ia suggested that each county bold a county convention composed of delepueanent Irom primary pri-mary meetings previously held in the severnl precincts. Thedelegntes to the territorial convention should come duly authentic. itid with credentials creden-tials signed by the president am! secretary of the conventiou appointing them. It vyHl be well for each convention con-vention to appoint alternate delegates to represent the county in case of the failure of the le-gular dolegates to be present at the convention. It is also suggested that each county convention con-vention while in session appr.int a county central committee to attend to all election matters in its comity, i which committee should immediately : organize and place itself in communication commun-ication with the people's territorial central committee, at Salt Lake city, that concert oi action in these mat-; mat-; ters may be secured throughout the territory. The number of delegates to the territorial convention to which each county is entitled is as follows: County. ' Ab. County. ' JVb.
