The precinct conventions of the Republicans, which were held on Wednesday evening, were lively affairs, and resulted in scraping of a most energetic kind. Strange to relate, the battles were not made entirely on Mormon-Gentil- e lines, as was fondly hoped and anticipated by many of the latter faction. Bishop Iverson appeared in the First precinct conven-- 1 tion with a strong following opposed to Frank J. Hewlett, who is a Mormon. The moment Iversons opposition became manifest the Gentiles flocked to ' Hewlett and he was nominated. JoIversons Bishop seph Christensen, candidate, was snowed under. It was a very unhappy convention for John J. Thomas, who only received four votes. Of course there was a contest; had contests, and the all precincts not afford to be left out, could First but the contestants got cold comfort. With the announcement that they would carry it into the city, conven- tion, the contesting delegates retired to the rear and took seats. Hewlett , received 93 votes, L. D. Martin 92 and Thomas Hobday 74, and were declared nominated. In the race for the long term, Hobday won out. Jt Jl In the Second precinct the venerable William Nelson was chosen to preside over the deliberations of the convention, and because of a reputation for ability as a writer of things, was selected as a member of the committee on resolutions. There was a contest from the Twenty-fourt- h district, headed by Thomas Hull, but my, my, the cards were stacked against Thomas, and his delegation was told to go chase itself out into the cold and chilly world. Kearns man Blackmarr failed to connect for the long term in the city council, or the short one, either, owivg to some blunders on the part of some of the managers, and J. H. Preece was chosen instead. George H. Dean and L. J. Wood were selected for the short term. E. J. Eardley didnt get a look in, receiving only 28 votes. Chas. Cottrell, the present presiding officer of the council, was not nominated. dt Jt .Over in the Third they had a nice time; a pleasant time; a real joyful, fraternal feeling; merry, hand to hand brother, come again No when you have a chance affair. cudgels were used, but the chunks of language that were spilled around the room were something terrific. Somebushels of thing like two and one-hal- f hs which were dropped in conversation were swept out by the janitor next morning. Of course there was a contest. The James faction from the Thirty-firsled by A. P. Kesler, went up against a real hard combination. It took two hours to settle it, but finally Kesler and company were led to the outer edge of the battlements and pushed over. J. B. Wissing, formerly fruit tree inspector, made an affidavit to the effect that some funny business had been done in the Twenty-eight- h and the Knox delegation was unseated. Then the Knox crowd presented evidence that the James boys had done crooked work and that crowd was unseated. This broke Wissings heart, and he offered to fight any one in the . good-nature- d, . 3 Kowe o.

Two dogs named Von Moltke and Jim, representing the warring factions, caught the spirit of the delegates early in the game and started to settle the matter between themselves. The strong arm of the law, represented in the person of Officer Lincoln, scraped Von Moltke into the street, while Jim, who was an Odell canine, was taken under the wing of City Recorder Ny strom and permitted to remain. During the even- ing this intelligent animal' enjoyed himself immensely and would often gaze into Nystroms face with a look signifying: "Wouldnt there just been a h 1 of a time if it hadnt been for us?

It looks as if John W. Young was getting even with J. Pierpont Morgan for throwing him down, after he, Young, had played such an important part in the formation of the shipping trust, which is now in court. Le Roy Dresser, a witness examined a few All that goes to make a home comfort able and beautiful will be found in our new store.

X X t, THE Greenewald Furniture Co COMPLETE HOUSEFURNISHERS, 333537 West Third South St. days ago in New York, testified to Mr. Youngs connection with the affair, stating thau he was to secure $3,000,-00- 0 in London and a like amount in Paris, and that he had entered into a written agreement that he would. It apears from other testimony that he did actually raise this sum, but that because he was taken ill and could not perform some other duty imposed by the conditions of his contract, Mrogan determined to shut him out. Of course, Young wanted revenge and he secured it. A member of the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan & Go., asserted that the firm had noth-- , ing to do with financing the shipping trust and that his house knew nothing about It. Whereupon attorneys produced a written agreement, duly attested, showing that the banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. was selected as fiscal agent and had agreed to take charge. Advices are to the effect that this agreement was placed in the hands of Mr. Young to be exhibited on the other side to prospective investors and that Morgan & Co. had forgotten it when their firm member made his positive statement. Slowly but surely John W. seems to be playing even with the master of Wall street. To be detected in an untruth is damaging to any banking institution and especially in such a mammoth transaction ' as was this one. i ; i. J 1 . |
