"The action of the committee on credentials creden-tials on the contesting delegations is a hard thing to foretell," piped a prophet this morning, "but my individual belief is that no nominations are valid unless they descend de-scend through the committees appointed by the Ogden conventions of 1838. It is a very plain proposition. The commission of those two bodies not having expired, a call for a convention by any other lacks a vital principle the creative. However, the national na-tional convention will not consider itself obligated and the result can be but one thing a compromise." "And its terms?" "To run iu both delegations. That would occupy but two more chairs and p'raps they may argue that bringing the family together may mend the jar." "There'll be no compromise there," interposed a bystander, "the stakes are altogether too high. "We are going to appeal to the highest political authority in the nation to determine a question, an issue of vital importance to the republicans of this territory. The organizaiion of 1SS, which was recognized at Chicago, is either the republican organization of today or it is nothing at all. We have proceeded under custom and under rule and shall press the issue to finai determination. We are either right or we are wrong. We are willing to abide by the decision of the convention." Similar views are expressed by the democrats. demo-crats. They will consent to no compromise. The issue will be pressed to a decision and the questiou on both sides is were the committees com-mittees appointed at the Ogden convention to elect delegates to the national convention in 1888 appointed for four years and until a similar convention selected their successors? succes-sors? Both sides vie confldeut. K.i.ul'l ii an Committee... The republican territorial committee closed its labors last evening and adjourned subje t to the call of the chairman. The territorial convention will be held in this city on WednesdaT, May ISth, at noon, the county convention for the selection of delegates to the same to be held on ednes-day, ednes-day, May 11th. The following apportionment apportion-ment was made for the respective counties comprising the territory: Beaver, 12; Box Elder, 8; Cache. 4: Davis, 6; Emery, 2; Garfield, Gar-field, 2; Grand, 2; Iron. 2; Juab, 12; Kane, 2; Millard, 2; Morgan, 2; Piute, 3; Rich, 2; Salt Lake, Oti; San Bete, 4; San Juan, 2; Sevier, 2; Summit, 28; Tooele, 6; Uiutah, 2; Utah, 12; Wasatch, 2; Washington, 2; Wayne, 2; Weber, 34; total, 223. During the progress of the meeting Hon. C. S. Varian delivered a most able republican repub-lican address. He took up the history and recited the struggles of the party in this territory, all going to prove the party organization organ-ization here for years past and its right to recognition. Judge Varian also showed how the mormon republicans had dealt in the foulest sort of duplicity politically politic-ally by which the' had received recognition from the last convention. conven-tion. His adiress was listened to with marked attention, and was finallj" adopted as a manifesto of the republicans to be promulgated in this territory. Iu concluding con-cluding he sr.id: We hold that this committee com-mittee is the only authorized agent of the republican party iu Utah, and tnat its powers pow-ers may not be abrogated until the party acts through the regular channels. It can recognize no convention or committee which is not regularly constituted by the majority voice of all entitled to speak. Therefore, in accordance with custom and in obedience to the obligations imposed on it by its creator, the last territorial republican convention, it now issues a call for the regular territorial republican convention. The Tuxearoras. The meeting of the great democratic tribe in the wigwam Odd Fellows blaca last evening even-ing was one of the most enthusiastic in its annals the attendance rising to nearly 200 while five new candidates were admitted. The reports of officers indicated the most flourishing growth, while it was decided to hold weekly conclaves in the future that the steady flow of new members might be accommodated. It was thereupon ordered that the tribe nights be changed to Thursday instead of Tuesday as heretofore, the change to commence next week. Colonel Hank Barnes, member of the democratic dem-ocratic county comn Htee, reported having called upon Judge Boyle whom he asked to call a meeting for Saturday night next at the federal court chamber, that action might be taken denouncing the action of the rump committee in calling under the mantle of democracy a territorial convention at Ogden. The judge had refused re-fused to call the meeting and on an appeal to the committee a majority of its members had signed the call. It was then decided that the Tuscaroras meet cn mase at the Knutsford hotel on Saturday evening at 7 o'clock and to the music of a band march to the court chambers cham-bers where there will be a feast of eloquence. elo-quence. Discussion on the proposed Tuscarora junket to Chicago on the occasion of the democratic national convention elicited the fact that neariy the entire number required had been enrolled. The train will consist of a solid vestibule and will be oue of the most conspicuous ever scheduled out of Zion. i |
