Ileelis offered the name of Levi Openshaw, oi Santaquiu, lor selectman from the south end of the county. J.D. Irvine arose and offered the name of John Jones, of Spanish Fork, in opposition to Mr. Openshaw. Mr. King moved that tiie Voting be done vii a race. Judge Kellogg moved to amend by voting by precincts, the president of the precinct 10 announce the vote of his delegates. The question on the amendment was lost. The question on the original motion was then put and carried. A. L. Booth moved the question be reconsidered, and J udge Kellogg stilted that in all conventions he had ever attended at-tended the voting had been done bv precincts. 1). 1. Houtz did not think it right that the president of each precinct should vote for absent delegates. A. M. Tilden thought that it would be perfectly right lor the presidents presi-dents to vote for the absentees. V. 11. King said the question, as he understood it, was whether an absent delegate could have a vote cast for him. This had been the habit, but he thought tt a pernicious habit. If we make u precedent by not allowing any votes to be registered lor absentees we will have more interest mad Jested in our conventions. con-ventions. J. D. Irvine made a strong plea for Payson having votes registered for her absentees. If a rule was to be made to allow no votes to be cast for absentees the convention shou d wait until the meeting was over, and then Payson -ii would try to come up to business here after. A. L. Booth took the floor to talk against his motion, but was promptly called lo order. Judge Duse n berry was in favor of allowing the votes of absentees to be counted. C. A. Conkling made a plea for the defeating of the motion to reconsider. The motion was put and lost. The name of Levi Openshaw was then voted on for selectman. It was lost. John Jones was nominated by an overwhelming majoiity. The nomination of John Jones was lhen made unanimous. The name of A. J. Evans, of Levi, was then offered for selectman from the north end of the county. Louis P. Lund was then placed in opposition to A. J. Evans. Mr. Thurman, of Lehi, made a strong plea in favor of A. J. Evans, saying say-ing that it was twenty years since Lehi rytaB! .. . ; had lx-en represented in the County Court. i J. L. Brown, of Pleasant Grove,. ; thought if the people of Lehi had the j j same spirit as the gentleman from that j i place, who had just made a plea for his i I nomination, anil we elected Mr. Evans j then the Selectman from tin; south; end ot the county would be lor belli ! alone. . j The question on A. J. Evans nomi- nation was put and carried, Mr. Evans ; receiving 32 and Mr. Lund 20 votes. j W. D. Roberts moved that the nomi- j nation be made unanimous. Carried. The chairman announced nomi- j nations for county superintendent of j schools in order. j Joseph A. Rees, in a neat speech, j offered the name E. A. Wilson. No other nomination was offered and j the gentleman was nominated by uuan-1 imous acclamation and with cheers. The nomination for coroner was next , in order. Thomas Beesley was the unanimous ! choice of the convention. ; W. II. Kinz moved that a delegation ' of twenty members of the convention' be elected lo attend the territorial con-! vent ion. i The following gentlemen were elected: elect-ed: , ! Dr. J. Hanbure, W. R.

Kellogg moved that the pres- ient county central committee remain i in office for one year. W. 1). Roberts moved that the Dem- jocratic. party in convention assembled put themselves on record as opposed to excessive taxation, and that they favor I taxation tnouuh to defray the expenses .f the government economically ad-liiinisteied. ad-liiinisteied. The gentleman thought the taxes this year were altogether too heavv. Mr. Creer stated that he thought the County Court had been very economical, economi-cal, aiid the extra tax this year was a direct benefit lo the people in haying good roads and good bridges. W.ll. King cnsidered no reflection should be cast on anyone. The taxes had been economically apportioned. He offered the following resolution instead in-stead of that offered bv Mr. Roberts: P.esohed, That it is the sense of the Democratic party in Utah county, that we are in favor of that fundamental principle of Democracy: that only suf-ticient suf-ticient means be raised for the economical econom-ical administration of all governmental affairs. The resolution was unanimously adopted. The meeting then adjourned with three rousing cheers for the Democratic Demo-cratic ticket and also for Democracy. |
