14th THE HERALD had its force out and covered L all points the results are presented below and I i looks very much as i the George M Scott men had it all their own way The First Precinct The Liberals of the First precinct assembled last evening by courtesy Prof E Bennerand tha faculty in Hammond hal and chose H S McCallum temporary chairman and JB More ton temporary secretary There was a full representation of the delegates dele-gates of the party TIE HERALD man was the only morning press representative present the Tribune yesterday having weakly asked the va nous ports secretaries t kindly forward their re The preliminary work of selecting committees on organization credentials and plan of opera tion having been concluded a recess of fifteen minutes was taken after which the committee commitee on credentials reported seventytwo delegates entitled to seats During the recess it was plain to be seen that all was not serene and happy in the ranks of at least two of the delegations and from the mut tering gesticulating and flitting to and fro of the agitated politicians it looked evident that there were a couple or more soreheads in the group ings about the hal Skirmishing and manofuver ins on a great scale was going on one old time wire puller and heeler remarking that the panorama pan-orama reminded him of old times Every one looked wise determined and confident of his men winning but among the toots as they huddled together whispering and exchanging confidences sotto voce it was exchanging was discontent anddisunion somewhere After the report ot the committee on creden tials was adopted that of the committee on organization which recommended the retention retenton of the temporary officers as permanent ones Was also adopted The committee on apportonment had electedA H Parsons its chairman and decided on motion that each ward moton delegation should elect its own delegates to the City convention and made the following apportionment First ward three delegates Second two Third four Eighth eight Ninth four and Tenth fourSome four-Some debate followed the presentation of this report one party contending that as the report read the delegations should not elect and an amendment made it read nominate and the report as amended was adopted Hefore proceeding with the nominations chairman presented and the secretary read a communication from the partys headquarters setting forth the reasons for selecting so many unoiimcn I is as follows I To the Members of the Liberal Convention Second Sec-ond Municipal Ward GIINTLFJIIJJ You have observed that the call of the committee convening this convention 51 I alc the purpose among other things to be 1 e nomination ef one alderman three council man and a justice of the peace I is proper for us to state the reasons which induced us to prepare pre-pare the cal in that way Under the charter of Salt Lake one alderman fiom each municipal ward and nine councilmen councien at large are required to be elected biennially It is the opinion of the chairman of your commit tee that such are the officers who are to be elected in February But a question was raised as to whether the act of the legislature of this territory of March 18S3 relative to the incorporation incorpor-ation and reincorporation of cities does not apply to this city so far at least as dispensing with aldermen and requiring the election of three councilmen from each municipal ward or precinct Your committee took the advice ad-vice of tnree of the ablest attorneys in the city and they ted with us a written opinion in which they state without qualification that the act of 1SSS applies so far as suggested above But say they in their opinion as a matter of But and precaution we recommend that the Liberal I conventions nominate and the Liberal party vote for one alderman and three councilors I councior from each municipal ward I it be hereafter determined that there should be elected five i fve aldernieu and nine councilmen then six of the I tlfveen councilmen voted for can step one side and decline to qualify I it be determined that I there are no aldermen and fifteen councilmen to be chosen then of course the aldermen could not qualify This arrangement it will be readily seen provides pro-vides for any contingency and we have followed the advice given folowed AVe therefore desire to make the following suggestions to this convention and that they be acted upon before you proceed to nominate your I candidates or that you agree upon some other basis of action which will accomplish the same results i 1 That it be understood and agreed by this convention and its nominees that in the event that it shall be decided that our city officers are to be chosen in accordance with the city char tel and aot in accordance with the act of 1838 i that the third candidate named for councilman step one side and decline to qualify 2 That from the precinct from which the city convention shall choose the mayor the second and third candidates named for councilman shall step one side shal This letter will be presented to each of the five municipal ward conventions and i the plan suggested is agreed upon or some other equally feasible future all difficulty will be obviated in the This plan seems t us to be fairfor the mayor being a member of the council i the second and third candidates necessary step one side in the ward in which he resides each precinct i pre-cinct will have equal representation CWe representaton AAre remain for victory and progress your

irrespectIve r of the other respective wards and this was a agreed on I was ascertained that the first set of names headed by Evans had 25 votes against 3 for the second and the first wow though there

chosen as secretary Km The letter from the Liberal headquarters as above was then read und the Instructions adopted as the sense of the meeting Nominations were bell in order and Dan Dunne arose and nominated Joseph R Morris for alderman in a neat little Liberal speech apart a-part of which we repeat Gentlemen I are to nominate a man of the Seventeenth ward a man who none can well ob ject j to He is a typical carpetbagger as the Peoples party say Some may object to him on the ground that he has not been in the city long enough bull dont see why that should bean be-an objection The gentleman has held high stations sta-tions In Iowa and Kansas before coming here and since residing here his actions have certainly cer-tainly been such as t merit the approval of the Liberal central committee

fore the meeting but great difficulty was experienced experi-enced in selecting twentyfive members as delegates dele-gates to the city convention The convention did the best they knew how in the matter but there was a great turmoil before I a mode of procedure as io the to s Jig of these twentyfive delegates waaadopted A motion was carried that they be chosen by I the ward delegatons each ward choosing its own proper apportionment The motion was reconsidered and lost Then followed an extended wrangle in which every member took the floor and several tried to speak at once To add still more confubon a porter arrived from a neighboring saloon with bottles of liquor and a multiplicity of glass I was finally dEcided by the chair that the delegation be chosen by the house each member to cist a ballot containing the twentyfive names This was accordingly done and during the two hours it took to count the mixed ballot all the delegates regaled themselves in beverages to their taste seived at a neat little bar in a corner The following are the delegates declared nom inated for the city convention J AV Clark T J Williams J AV Sugden Dan Carl Dan AVolstenholme AV S Sharp J J Daiy

applause The temporary secretary was made the permanent one The communication from the Liberal central communioaton Liberl committee com-mittee as printed above was handed in by Mr CrHchlow The reading of the document was listened t with a curious silence Fred Simon moved the acceptance of the communication com-munication and that the convention acted in cQlenton accordance with its provisions Judge McKay objected Colonel Sells also opposed the adoption of the motion He thought the question had been settled in the decision of Judge Henderson in the Ogden case Judge Judd who wrote the opinion of the supreme curt affirming Judge Hendersons decision de-cision understood as he Colonel Sells did Tnermestloruwas asked who were the eminent attorneys 8 to whom this question had been re ferred and it was answered Judge McBride Mr Dickson and P L Williams McBrde Judge McKay again protested AVe ought to be careful he said as to who shall step aside He thought the person receiving the least num ber of votes and not the last one nominated nomiated should be the one to stand aside Mr Jack had another idea He wanted an alderman and a councilman nominated from each ward and then i a contingency arose either one I or the other could step aside Colonel Sells said the canvassers of the voters would determine who should stand aside and no act of this convention would effect it in the least Mr McKay wanted the communication laid upon the table He offered this as an amendment amend-ment to Mr Simons motion Here another tilt occurred as to whether it was an amendment or a motion Finally the moton Finaly ayes and nays were called upon the question of lay Ing upon the table and the secretary gave the number as 31 for and SO against the motion Two or three other private tellers however among them THE HERALD man counted quite differently differ-ently making it 39 to 23 in favor of Mr McKays motion However the secretary being against us we wilted Mr Simons motion was then put and carried car-ried At this juncture i was thought necessary to have an assistant secretary and when Mr Simondl was nominated JJ Thomas wanted him laid upon the table Instead of this after afer some little seesawing Sanondl was elected to the high office mentioned Then the Gordian knot was reached again end the former wrangle was repeated Colonel Sells insisted on his opinion Mr Critchlow suggested that the two parties would come to an understanding before the I election and the names would be dropped then I and not after the elqctlon was over Judge McKayVanted to know how the politi cal parties could dotermin the question He felt that Colonel queston Sels right and it would be determined by the board of canvassers Critchlow thought neither party would dare to go into the field without the question being settled Other members didnt believe that either the parties or the board of canvassers would de termine this but it would have to go to the courts Still others believed the Utah commission commis-sion would settle it sette and so the opinions were as various as possible Frank Hoffman entered his protest against any such proceeding as suggested in the corn munication He wouldnt cast his vote for a man who would agree to skulk out at the dictation of somebody A man would bo a d d fool i he did said Frank and a great storm of applause arose After more wrangling wran-gling of thisorder the chair reminded the memo h ers that they were off tho question as it had alreadyadoptcd the suggestion of the communication communi-cation Mr Wright wanted to reconsider the former motion to lay on the table but he was quickly bushed up I was now 930 oclock and the nominations were proceeded with H A Whiney was presented by Mr Hoffman Hoff-man as candidate for alderman
