Show Tug "3Iass Meeting." The great sore -head, national, F. O. H. mas meeting (?) assembled at the appointed hour in the third district court room, yesterday evening, and as we propose to "nothing extenuate or aught get down in malice," we will give the precise pre-cise number of individuals present, which amounted to seven able-bodied sovereigns all told; three of whom were Democrat of the most unterrified species, spe-cies, who could not be induced to touch a genuine Republican convenuon, regular reg-ular or irregular, with a forty-foot pole. The outlook was gloomy indeed; the "general," however, considered hlm-aelf hlm-aelf equal to the occasion, and announced an-nounced his intention to go out and 'drum up a few of the boys," but returned re-turned a sadder and no wiser man and concluded to wait no longer. Pat. Lannan, whose Democratic education and proclivities wouldn't allow him to see the thing too badly bungled without helping it along, told them there weren't enough for a "mass meeting," but they could turn it into an election; so upon that hint the "general" spake, and: "All who are in favor of Messrs. Firman, Appleby and Johnson acting as judges of this election," was put with a solemnity worthy of a more numerous nu-merous cause, and was carried by a single vote, the sonorous voice of Mr. Gould giving them place and position for the hour. The gentlemen thus "unanimously" elected then procured a cigar box empty alas and proceeded proceed-ed to work, and with the aid of a sufficiency suffi-ciency of relays between the court room and the street, after a few hours' hard work, the following were elected delegates dele-gates to Corinne: Just as we were going to add the tho names, the following cooked for the occasion by a gentleman interested in the matter, was handed in. Ofcourse we give it space; and the public can suit themselves. them-selves. We might add, that the Herald Her-ald reporter of last night, never did attend an election in the tabernacle; he is a Gentile of the Gentiles: In pursuance of the call in a primary pri-mary meeting of the National Union Republicans to meet at the third district dis-trict court room, to elect twenty delegates dele-gates to attend a convention to be held at Corinne on the 16th inst, a goodly number assembled, and upon consultation it was determined to hold an election and allow any and all to vote by secret ballot, and that the polls should be kept open until 1 o'clock p.m. Upon motion, D. K. Firman, William P. Appleby and G. E. Johnson John-son were designated as judges of the election; a box was procured and voting vot-ing became lively. A number of scribes were writing out their favorite tickets. A Herald correspondent was present who did not seem to comprehend this manner of voting, as it evidently did not correspond with an election in the tabernacle. This is a new era in Utah matters, when men meet as citizens at an election and vote as they please by ballots not numbered. And we feel sure from tho array, that Salt Lake city will be ably represented at Corinne, and Utah will he well and ably represented at the National Union Republican convention, to bo held at Philadelphia. Tho following are the names of the delegates elected. W. A. Perkins, J. M. Moore, A. K. Smith, D. H. Firman, A. S. Gould, J. M. Orr, J. P. Taggart, S. S. Walker, Charles King, L. Cohn, O.
