convention of Weber county met in Thomas hall according to the call issued is-sued by the regular county committee which is otherwise known as the McKinley Mc-Kinley mens committee The chair lan of that committee J E Bagley called the meeting to order which was secretly resented by some who thought that Dix of the old committee com-mittee or Hayes of the silver committee com-mittee should have been the one to call It to order Soon after the calling of the convention to order the irrepressible irre-pressible conflict came up An effort had been made to have the question of national policies ignored but the SILVER MEN WOULD NOT DOWN in spite of the working majority which the gold men exhibited when the convention I con-vention took its vote on the question of passing resolutions I Secretary F 11 Whipple read the call sir Bagley congratulated the large I and intelligent assembly and informed I them that there had been a difference in the Republican convention at St Louis also that there had been two Republican conventions in Utah and that there had been factions galore Now there was harmony He read the address which has already been published pub-lished in The Herald He hoped the harmonious sentiments expressed therein would prevail In the convention conven-tion lie admitted that the proceeding was irregular but thought it justifiable He asked the convention to endorse that address by rising vote The convention con-vention arose TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION James A Wright of Marlott was named as temporary chairman and Joseph Rise of Eden as temporary secretary The chairman expressed his pride in the honor He knew it was coming and had prepared n speech an hour and fiftyfive minutes long on the histy and prospects of the Re publicai arty but had found on reviewing re-viewing it that he had not done justice to the subject Consequently he would not deliver it but would simply congratulate con-gratulate the assembly on bright prospects pros-pects HARMONY

the amendment saying he did not propose to vote for any man for a county or legislative office who was ashamed or unwilling to let the people understand where he stands on the great question of finance and civilization Charles Meighan spoke against appointing ap-pointing such a committee saying that the conventions only duty was to name candidates who would win in November BISHOP T J STEVENS wanted a committee on resolutions The issue should be met fairly and squarely with no dodging Let a committee com-mittee consider the matter and make a report I that report recommended the address as presented as resolutions resolu-tions he would vote for i John V Bluth thought there should be resolutions but saw no necessity for a committee All that was necessary neces-sary was to adopt resolutions pledging sar every nominee en the legislative ticket to unswerving loyalty to free silver I L R Rogers expressed HIS STRONG DISAPPROVAL of resolutions and of delegating the power of
