Show JACOB N. LARSEN 4 Of Paradise, Nominated for Clerk fey Acclamation. Maughan for Attorney. Mrs. Eames (or Recorder, Schaub for Suneyor. I von sumtiKK. It was known that thcic was a contest con-test on fqr this nomination, but it was expected that It would be a closer one than tho vote llually showed. J.C. Knowles In a few vvoids set forth tho qualifications of C. C. Cies-sal, Cies-sal, and Wm. II. Thalu nominated Thos. H.j Smith. Fred Turnei was put up by, A. A. Law of Paradise. The vote icsultcd: Cressal 12. Smith 45. Turner..... 87. JnVoit TIUCAHUKKII. W. C? Parkinson, President of the Hj rum Stake, was nominated by Llljcnqiiuist, and John A. McAlistcr by J. 0. Walters. The ote was as follows: Parkinson . . i 04. McAlistcr fil. K()lt ltr.COUDKlt. It was known before the convention that Mrs. Rebecca Eames would be the nominee for this otllcc, and w hen Joel Ricks mentioned her name the delegates tendered her the nomination by acclamation. KOll ASSKSSOll. This nomination was also made by acclamation although two names were mentioned for the place. Dr. Phillips of Wcllsvllle placed Mr. John A. McAlistcr Mc-Alistcr lu nomination for this place, but wIkii Jos. J. Richardson's claims were bj-ought out, he withdrew the name, and Mr. Rlclmtdson was nominated nomin-ated bj acclamation. KOll HUUVKVOn. Mr. Ricks suggested the name of Mr. Carl Schaub and the convention said "jca" in aloud voice. This ended the leal business of tho convention, but the delegates stajed long enough to adopt an emblem an eagle on a beehive and tender a vote of thanks to the presiding ofllcers. At this Juncture II. A. Pcderscn, J. A. Hcndrlcksoii, Fred Turner and otheis took opportunity to say a good word for "The Republican." This resulted re-sulted in the securing of a few dollars from the assembled delegates.. NOTKS. During the second hour of the convention, con-vention, the lire bell rang and the delegates showed a tendency to stampede. Someone suggested that it was meiely a Democratic trick to bieak up a successful Republican convention and the delegates proceeded pro-ceeded with their work of nominating the whining ticket. When nominations for State Senator Sena-tor weie called for, tliero was a rather amusing pause In the proceedings. Those who were to nominate the dllleient candidates cither temporarily temporar-ily forgot their little speeches or else weie waiting for tho other fellows to break the Ice, and the chairman had to urge tho matter before a nomination was made. Neely Hell made himself as conspicuous con-spicuous as on former occasions. Hell wanted to read something every once In awhile and his speeches in behalf of "my friend, Joe Knowles" were quite ficquent. The sergeant-at-arms found It neccessary to remove him before the convention could proceed to business. In nominating different condldates much was said about "joung blood." Later hi the convention J. C. Knowles biought forth expansive smiles by re-ferilng re-ferilng to thlsat an opportune time. Tho Democrats arc wondering how It was that Fred Turner was nominated nomin-ated by A. A. Law of Paradise. That's a great Joke on tho Deinmy's and clearly Indicates that there are a few things that they are not onto jet. Rev. N. E. Clemenson's speech In seconding J, A. Hcndrlckson's nomination nomin-ation was quite a little hit. Ho urged that as Ilendiickson and Harber resemble re-semble each other very much, It might be a good political move to place Hcndrlcksoii on tho ticket, so that Democrats who didn't know Rarber might vote for his double on tho 1 Republican ticket. Just which man Is the insulted one in this caso can not be ascertained at this writing. t. - A. A. Law's speech for Turner was a "cracker-Jack," and coming from him had great weight with the convention. con-vention. However, Law's speeches are alvvajsgood. lu nominating Jacob N. Larson for oleik he got off a good ono about tho pilnclpal crop of Para-dlso Para-dlso being Republicans and urged as ono of Larsen's qualifications, that he too Is engaged Industriously In raising as largo i crop as any one. In Law's stjle, this took well with the convention. Hon. fleo. A. Smith of Salt Lake occupied a seat on the rostrum during apaitof tie time convention was lu session. An elTort was mado at dllTcrcnt times to put a cheek to the nomlnat-Jng nomlnat-Jng and seconding speeches, but tho tide of the ocean could have been stemmed as easily. A motion to limit noinln.it lug speeches to 2J minutes and seconding speeches to 1 minute finally passed the house, but each speakei invariably oveuan his time. The Smlthlleld delegation was especially especi-ally anxious to havo things cut .short, for they had in ranged for a big tally that night and wanted to be thoic. C. Z. Hauls as oliah man had some rather dlflloult work on hand, hut accomplished It lu excellent shape and to the satisfaction of ovcijbody. The excellent iiiuslo of the Wells-vllle Wells-vllle band was highly appreciated. That little burg has an organization of which it may well be proud. Democrats who canio up to see some splits and exhibitions of disruption were sadly disappointed. When they found how harmoniously cverv thing was mov lug most of them left. The editor and ono of the proprietors of the Journal staid until tho cud and lieaid some things they were hardly expecting. . Somo say It waHMcrrIll'8 speech In favor of Hullen that gave the nominee his victory. Mculll did soar to great heights and painted Ills candidate in ull the colors of tho rainbow, attributing to him ovcry virtue known to man and winding up witli a flourish that would have done credit to Bcvcrldge. "Let it bo heralded through Cache county that by the hand of Providence and tho votes of Paradise was this man nominated and on November 4th will he be elected to a chair in the State Legislature," said Mr. Merrill, and the audience cheered to the echo. The nomination of Mrs. Rebecca Eames for Recorder la regarded as a very strong one and Republicans generally gen-erally expect her to occupy the Recorder's Re-corder's otllce after January 1st. Where does Robert Rcdford and Robert Redfoid Jr. reside? Tho convention con-vention occupied fifteen minutes In a discussion of this and then didn't settle It. Tho enthusiasm manifested was spontaneous and prolonged. Every favorable word in regard to Republican Republi-can success this j ear was greeted with cheers that otfcicd no encouragement to our Democratic brethren. Shcrlfl Rlgby was present and read the hand writing on the wall. 'Tls said that since the convention ho has used four bottles of Miles Nervine and Is still feeling limp. Mr. Rlgby knows that Tinner will give him the rub ( f his life. Considering that Andreas Peterson was not an active candidate for lepre-sentativc, lepre-sentativc, and that his name was not mentioned in this connection until Just a few dajs before tho convention, he made a winning race, lie has cause for congratulation. Wasn't that a fine list of solid, sul-stantlal sul-stantlal men who were placed In nomination nom-ination for commissioner? Smart, Iivlnc, Cole, Anderson, Shipley, Maughan, Hendricks and Allen are as capable men as the county possesses, and It was utterly Impossible for the Republicans to not nominate good men, w Ith these to select from. Every nomination was madeunamn-louswlth madeunamn-louswlth the exception of that for Sheriff, and wo understand that this was merely an oversight. Various men who were active candidates can-didates defore convention day, did not permit their names to go before the convention. They sacrificed themselves them-selves for party harmony and party success and will bo remembered In tho future as men worthy of recognition by tho party. It Is such feeling as this that will win out sooner or later. To hear the talk, ono must Judgo that ovcry man present was one of tho oglnlnal "war-horses," and con-sldei con-sldei lug the leccnt date of the dlv Islon on tho party lines It Is not at all Impossible, Im-possible, It all sounds rather queer to an easterner, though. |
