Tu the J-vjU of I'hth: Tlio eloctiou of delcAto to n-pvt'stnt tlic 'IVrrilory of Utuh in the Furly filth conyrwa will ha held on Tucatiiiy, Xovombcr 7th ucxt ensuing, and it is modt desirable that tho candidate chewen ii3 the representative of ll.o peopld should reei-ivo their lulh-st support nud that every person eiitithd to the elective fmuchise should exercise exer-cise it on Hint tiny. To tho end that an inrrcust-d interest inter-est iimy be awakened in election matters and to endeavor to draw out Uie entire vote of tlie territory ou this imporUnt oceauion, it hns been determined to hold a People's Territorial Terri-torial contention, composed of dele-galea dele-galea from the several counties, to convene at tho city hall in Salt Lake city, on Saturday, October 7tb, 1876, ut 12 m, -. Tha busiuea of this convtiition will It to nominate r candidate (or dele-gato dele-gato to congress, and to inaugurate such measures as will insure increased in-creased attcutiou to our clectioua throinzbout the1 territory. The number num-ber of delegates to coaipajje the territorial terri-torial convention has been fixed at soveniy eight, being twice the number num-ber of the councilors and representatives representa-tives in the legislative assembly, and the allotment of delegates to the sev-ial sev-ial counties baa been based, as tarns possible, upon their representation in the legislature. To securo tho proper election of these delegates it is suggested that each county hold a county convention composed of delegates Gent from primary pri-mary meetings previously held in the several precincts. Thedelegates to the territorial convention should come duly authenticated with credentials creden-tials signed by the president and 1 secretary of the convention appointing thtivi. It will be well for each convention con-vention to appoint alternate delegates to represent tho county in case ol the failure of the regular delegates to he present at the convention. It ie also suggested that each county convention con-vention while in session appoint a county central committee to attend to all election matters in its county, which committee should immediately organize and place itself in corumuu-; corumuu-; i cation with the people's territorial 'central committee, at rfalt Lite city, that concert of action in these matters mat-ters may bo secured throughout the territory. The number of delegates to the territorial convention to which each county is entitled is as follows: County. -ft'o. Couitfy. -Vo.

Total rre It is hoped that the leading men in each county will take immediate steps to carry these suggestions into effect, by calling primary meetings in their precincts and coun'y conventions conven-tions in their counties, that the people may be thoroughly aroused to their duty, that the result ol these measures meas-ures may prove beneficial to our citizens, citi-zens, and that tho delegate selected to rcpreseut us in congress :nuiy receive, re-ceive, at the coming election, uch a vote as wa3 never before given to a delegate from any territory.
