oclock he fonnda yard full of Peoples voters seeking to gain admittance to a school house that was hopelessly Liberal Mr Hartenstein one ef the alleged trustees trus-tees was seen and said the people had his full permission to hold their primary in the school house il they could find the janitor but that it would first be quite necessary t find the janitorai it was he who had possession pos-session of tho keyAf ter several ineffectual attempts t discover the whereabouts of i either the janitor or the key Bishop I George Romney appeared and tendered the use of the meeting HOS3 for the occcasion into which the expectant crowd surged without any delay I may be remarked however that the failure to get tho uso of the schoolhouse was due to someones oversight not to aav discourtesy on the part of the Liberal trustees rt Ia After gcttirg comfortably seated in the commodious now meeting house the follow ling organization was speedily effected Hon John T Cane chairman H J Foulger secretary Orson F Whitney chaplain and Wm G Phillips sergeantat arms Prayer was offered and the cal was read showing the municipal wards to be entitled to sixteen delegates The chair offered a few words in explanation expla-nation of the purposes as ho understood them for the convention t which the primaries were asked to send delegates It was conceded by a that the coming elec tiog was the most important ono to the people that ever occurred in Utah Tho city central committee realizing this had asked 1 recognition of their committee com-mittee for the purpose or enlarging and strengtheningit Tbo committee were also desirous that the convention when it meets should define and declare 1 policy in regard to municipal affairs and tho speaker thought i might be well also to declare a general policy us to the political sentiments of the Peoples party witn reference to elections and particularly the coming campaign cam-paign This being the object the chairman hoped tho best men in the municipal wards would be selected as delegates to the convention con-vention enton Hon F S Richards moved that there be five delegates elected from eachdistrict and one at large and in doing so he also urged that the most capable men be selected se-lected as the coming campaign was fraught with much importance to tho people Ho was not one of those however who con ceced by any means that tho Liberals had more honest voters in the city than tho People and i the People would but organize or-ganize and work there would bo no doubt about the usual Peoples victory Mr M L Woolloy then nominated Hon J Fewson Smith as delegate at large and in doing so said that Mr Smith had devoted de-voted himself for the best part of a year to the interest of the city and Was therefore well acquainted with all the problems to be met and solved by tho convention and besides this the speaker considered Mr Smith tho most popular man in tho ward and believed he should bo kept before war people Mr James Sharp also nominated Hon John T Caine as delegate at large The later nomination was seconded by Mr Richards who stated that while Mr Smith was undoubtedly a very capable man and a very popular one in the precinct pre-cinct Mr Caine was equally able and popular not only in the precinct but in the territory and in the hal of Congress and would bo very valuable in the convention Mr Woolley hero arose and withdrew tho nomination of Mr Smith but disired it d sa d heb 1 1g understood to bo because ho saw the Eighteenth Eigh-teenth and Twentieth wards had gone in kcrsnooKs In favor of Mr Caine On Mr D L Murdocks motion the moton members of each district then repaired to niffcrent portions of the room and proceeded pro-ceeded to agree Upon their nominotions for delegates Upon reconvening the following nominations nomina-tions were made and unanimously carried tons carre Eighteenth District F S Richards T G Webbdr R W Young Frank W Jennings Jen-nings HeberTH Wells

Woolley James Maxwell William J Tuddenham Thomas Goodman Jo iah Burrows Alternates Alter-nates Joseph W Lyn s and Joseph Barton The nomination of Mr Caine was then carried and was afterwards made unanimous mous In response to a call Hon John IV Young made a brief but very effective speech He had no set speech but had very decided views in regard to the coming campaig which ho deemed of great interest inter-est and importance to the people to the men who had made this city tho most delightful de-lightful residence spotin the United States the voters who had cause the desert to otrs blossom like tho rose who had adminis istered a city government upon th6 i lowest taxation of any city in the land being but 5 mills on the dollar which when quoted to strangers made them wonder beyond expression This was not only true of tho city but of tho whole territory and who had accomplished accom-plished it The Peoples party Not tho itinerants who sought to defraud the people of their liberties not the sojourners who come here to speculate in land but the people who built the bridges who erected the factories who constructed the railroads and who made the territory I was for the people to maintain their rights at the polls He did not seo any danger ahead i they would do this He had been a close cose student of the city council of late years and ho knew they had labored conscientiously for the general good They had been prudent pru-dent and economical and had done all that could be done with the means at their disposal dis-posal He did not wish to say no mistakes had been made He deemed it unjust that the center of town should be provided with water without local taxation and the outside out-side districts taxed for their water mains At this point in the gentlemans remarks the applause was so vociferous as to endanger en-danger the supports to the roof But he did not believe in being byprocri tical The coming convention should define a vigorous policy on the water question on street improvements and all the questions ques-tions of the hour so that there would be no mistake about the platform the city council would stand on when elected and so that no grumbler could afterwards find fault on the score of a misunderstanding And he deemed the convention should also consider con-sider the railroad question As one of the owners of railroad franchises he was w i 1 lug to meet the other roads in an equitable adjustment of their rights of way with reference re-ference to the public welfare He con eluded bj advising every peoples elector to be a detective of the unlawful acts of our opponents to prevent their herding in voters at our elections and to see ttut every honest vote in our own party is do posited in the ballot box and counted Mr Richards as a delegate to the convention asked if anyone had suggestions to make or instructions to offer and Mr Bra Gunn responded that he thought tho policy to be outlined should say that the city government ought to belike be-like the national government was proclaimed pro-claimed to be after the Rebellion no North no South but one grand nation We should have no dry bench no prior rights but be all Salt Lake city After a vote of thanks to the bishop and directors of the ward for the uso of the house the meeting adjourned FIFTH MUNICIPAL WARD Tho Pifth precinct primary was held in the city

wore elected as alternates From the Eleventh ward Arthur Stayner From the Twelfth ward E G Woolley From the Thirteenth ward Alonzo Young The question was raised regarding the object of conventions to which the chairman replied that its object was to attend to some important business and it was deemed wise to call a convention in time in order that the rights of the Peoples Peo-ples party might be protected Mr H J Grant suggested that the members mem-bers of the Peoples party commence to labor at once They should not consider too much from what ward they should select their city councilors t ut rather to select those who arc most fitted to bod office no matter where or in what ward they are locale 1 Mr Arthur Stayner supported this idea but ho said the people should not close their eyes to the fact that there are some talented men iu our midst who If the locality lo-cality in wnich they reside were to decide their elligibility to the city council could not hold such office Ho therefore would consider the ability of the men pro eminent emi-nent Short and stirring speeches were then delivered de-livered on the merits and demerits of the respective parties by Messrs H 1 Grout E G Woolloy H G Parks Mayor Armstrong Arm-strong Vim Stewart and Willaru Done The minutes were then read and approved ap-proved After a few supplementary remarks re-marks the meeting was adjourned |
