Judge Hoge who has been a life-lon-g friend of Judge Baskin wanted to withdraw his name, but some of the wiser ones (?) would net consent and the ballot was taken. The electors are as stated in ticket printed. A feature of the convention was the absence of any bitterness in the contests and the apparent good nature of all concerned. It was the nicest convention held in this state for a long time. Every one seems to have been satisfied and the Democrats are full of legislative ticket for the house id Salt Lake county are Sam C.

The circumstances surrounding the adoption of that plank are to be con sidered in respect to the religious complexion of the committee that drafted it While the committee in itself was to largely Mormon, the which was intrusted the duty of preparing a platform, was dominated by sub-committe- e, Hon. C. S. Varian, C. M. Jackson, Aquila Nebeker, and Hardin Bennion are understood to be the men who prepared it, and their religious procliviities are too well known to need comment. The general committee adopted the report without a word, of criticism and with no debate whatever, as did the convention. That portion of the platform which Gentile influence. alludes to the dissensions in the J .'j Re- publican party and their effect upon the state was doubtless pertinent from a democratic point of view and there are those who do not belong to that 'organization who will agree with the sentiments expressed. The balance of the platform is democratic and nothing else, so no more need be said of it. The nomination , of Judge Powers was unanimous, and was a flattering tribute to the candidate. The speech nominating him was made by Hon. A. J. Weber, of Salt Lake, who was brief but eloquent. His remarks took the convention by storm and when he had finished on motion of Hon. John T. Caine, seconded by Hon. S. A. King of Provo, the selection was made unanimous. Judge Powers was escorted to the platform and made a strong democratic address, which took the convention by. storm. He was felicitated upon the speech and after the adjournment of the convention for dinner was the recipient of many hearty congratulations. There was nothing doing but Moyle, U ,! n ; when the matter of the gubernatoria nomination came up. He was placet in nomination by Hon. H. P. Henderson, while William E. Rydalch did the honors for Roylance and J. H. Paul presented the name of Rulon S. Wells. Before the rtfil was half called it was evident that Moyle was nominated. His selection was made unanimous and the candidate, being escorted to the stage, received a tremendous ovation. I. C. Thoreson of Cache had things done to him by Levi M. Harmon of Carbon, who gave him a trimming, for secretary of state. Salt Lake county and Utah county gave Harmon the biggest end of their vote and he went in sailing.
