Logan, the beautiful capital of northern Utah, was ablaze with Republican eii. tlLusiasm last evening, and the standard-beare- r of the party was given a recept;. u such as was never before given any other man by the people of this city. The Union Pacific train that pulled into Logan with Frank J. Cannon on board last nifht was met at the depot by nearly 1000 enthusiastic Republicans, wbo cheered them-selves hoarse as the "Little Giant of Weber" stepped out upon the platform and was rec ognized in the glare of the red tire and the ( torches of the political clubs in waiting. A hundred hands were outstretched in welcome and amidst cheers and shouts of "Our Frank!" "Hurrah for our next dele-gate to congress," etc. Mr. Cannon was es- - in the future it is probnble th?y will be called I upon to wcrs i.p John 0. Calhoun "instead. The majority o the people in Utah hive accep-ted the principles of the Democrai-- in tiie past entrust and wiuout careful investigation; but now they are weighing those principle against thosa of Republicanism, and they wi.l findthem. wanting: and it has caused a radical change in the political convictions of iormer Democrats throughout Utah. The'Democratic party disowned the doctrine of free trade in the ast campaign, Lut this time they have been forced fro.n ambush and are sail-ing under their true colors. And if the result of the November election shoul d show the majority in Utah had been reversed, it vi!l show n- -t that the people had left the Uemocratic party, out that party had left the people. Mr. Hammond's remarks were received with great applause. FRANK CiX.NOS's ABLE SPEECH. The band then played a selection in good style, after which Frank J. Cannon was in-troduced to the audience, and received an ovation as he came forward. He expressed his sense of pleasure and appreciation of the attention shown him by the Republicans of Logan. The principles of the Republican party of Utah, he said, are fully net forth in the platform of the national party. The principles of tne Demo-cratic party in Utjh, so far as known, are pro-mulgated from the editorial colucius of the S It Lake Herald. The Republican party desire the people to investigate its principle-- , and asKS that eery voter who is in sympathy w .th those principle cast his vote for tlie.n in Novem- - her.

SITUATION. The speaker then went on to illustrate the position of many young men in Utah, and showed that while calling themselves Demo-crats, they really endorsed the Republican doctrines, and had given their allegiance to the free trade party through ignorance of its principles. To illustrate the great change which some men havft felt impelled to make in conces-sion to the Democracy and its policies, Mr. Cannon cited the instance of his friend, "Mr. S. R. Thurman, one of the ablest, if not the 00m . FRANK J. CANNON. The Standard Bearer of the Republican Party in Utah. corted to a carriage by James T. Hammond, chairman of the county Republican commit-tee, Joel Ricks, president of the Lincoln Republican club of Logan, and members of the Wellsville and Hyrum Republican clubs. A procession was formed at the depot, headed by the Logan brass band and the members of the Lincoln Republican club, the WelNville and Hyrum bands and their ' Kepublican clubs, while in the rear of the candidates' carriage followed a long line of other vehicles. The route of procession lay along Second street to the Thatcher opera bouse, where the meeting was held. The 6treet was a blaze of red light along the entire line of march; the bands played, the crowd cheered, ladies waved their hand-kerchiefs and everyone seemed wild with enthusiasm. The opera house, with a seating capacity of 800, was filled to the last chair, and Mr. Cannon's appearance upon the stage was the signal for a burst of applause that made the house ring again. Mr. Joel Ricks presided, and after a few remarks, introduced Mr. J. T. Lreiiminary Logan. THE OPENING SPEECH. Mr. Hainmohd said: A little over a year ago, when the first move-nu-n- t ior division on party lines was ma le, U.8 lieaiocrnts were rirt iu th field, urg.ng itn peo-ple to join issues with the natio:;a. parut-a- and particularly witu the Democratic party; not from party preieience, out on general principles. The Kepubiicau, on the contrary, appealed to the people to j,o fcl'jw and iuveotiate carefully tne principles of ijtu nartiea bloie jOimu oither.

Now, to relieve mo farmers of this nn.ust tax, our Democratic Ie.r-latur- e parsed an act by w hich they are now com-pelled to pay tue taxes both on t'ie mor!aj.el property anil on the borrowed money, while the money-lende- r escapes it all. Applause and laughter. HOW TO JUDCE A PARTY. A party should not be jucleed by the pledgee it makes, but by those it fulfills. In connection with the tariff question, it has been discovered that t.'Ki idol and founder of the Ddn;ocratic party, Tiioaias Jeferon, was an ardent ad.-ocat- of pro-tection, and had mated that sooner than take off the tariff on articles of foreiirn competition with home manufactures, he won d favor amending the constitution. Thomas Jefferson ua bena held bt fore tha people by the Democratic party as a model in the past, but ablest Democrat in Utah." Mr. Thurman is engaged tov on the stump in deriding sugar bounties; but imagine his feelings when one of his auditors with a good memory reminds him that he himself was a member of that patriotic legislature of the old Peo-ple's party, which granted the bounty to create and maintain Utah industries. If Mr. Thurman answers fully and fairly, he probably says in effect: "My belief was that bounties were correct in principle, but as they do not accord with Democratic the-ories, I prefer to abandon a correct convic-tion than to stultify myself before the peo-ple by renouncing the false political name of Democrat." Both parties are striving for the same object, the pf rpetuition of our national institutions. But tht-i- r methods are bo diametrically opposite tnat only one of them can te riht, ns onlv one t.f them can exist. One of tr.e .Demo-cratic speakers last year tried to work up a scare over the pearl button tariff. He de- - clared that the prosperity of the country r e j' pendfd upon that industry, and that disafct r would overwhelm ns if the tariff on tht art ie j were not removed. Laughter.

DEMOCRATIG GONYMTION. It Is Decided Not to Nominate Candi-date- s for County Offices Today, BUT TO POSTPONE ACTION UN-TIL OCTOBER 13? And Save the Worry and Work of a Protraeted Campaign. TALKING THE PRINCIPAL BUSI-NESS TRANSACTED.' Rawlins. Lett, Toronto, Timmony and Others Called I'pon to Slake Addresses While the Committees Are Out-Colo- nel Liett Expresses Fear of Republican Success Io-ins- s and Sayings. Punctuality is a word not to be found in the vocabulary now in use by the county Democratic committee, as it was thirty-fiv- e minutes after the appointed time this morn-ing when tha convention to nominate-candi-date- s for the various county officers was called to order by Chairman Caleb AV. 'West of the county Democratic convention. The convention met in Auditorium hall on the corner of Fourth South and Second West streets and was called for 11 o'clock a. m. ' The hall waa filled with delegates at the appointed hour, but the convention was slow in moving its bulky proportions into position. The hall waa criss-crosse- d with star-spangle- d bunting, which was wadded and scolloped in phantastic manner, and seemed to be full of meaning. Back of the speak-ers' stand hung portraits of the Democratic nominees for president and t. The banner of the Central Democratic club occupied a prominent position on the plat-- form. CALLED TO ORDER. In calling the convention to order Gov-ernor West said: "Gentlemen I welcome the invincible, un-daunted, unconquerable Democracy of Salt Lake county to their hall. 1 have the pleasure of nom-inating as your chairman the lion. John C. Mackay." The nomination was confirmed by a vote of the delegates, ani ttl9 chairman ascended the platform. Mr. Mackay thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him. "We have met for the purpose of nominating a county central committee and candidates for the several county offices. I trust we will be harmonious in our action, and that it will not be said that we met as a howling mob. Horace G. Whitney was selected to act as secretary. committees.

LAID ON THE TABLK. A motion was made that after the commit-tee had made its report on credentials the convention seould adjourn till October 15 to make nominations for county officers. The motion was laid on the table. Motion was made to adjourn to 1:30 p. m. R. C. Chambers moved an amendment'that the convention adjourn till the 15th of Octo-ber to hear the reports of the various com-mittees appointed. Cries of "No!" filled the hall. The amendment was lbst, as also was the original motion. MR. RAWLINS, In response to calls from the convention, took the platform. He said: I am somewhat surprised as well as ple ised to see so many of our party in this convention. It means that our party has aroused itse'.f to the situation, it means that each Democrat will do his duty. It means that we will cast the Republi-can party to that oblivion to which it ought to sink. The Republican party in 184 had told the nero of the South that if Mr. Cleveland was ele. ted the negro would be put back into e.avery. Mr. Cleveland wao elected, but the black man was not put ir.t slavery. T11& Kepublican 3 say we must have the 'fostering care of their beneftceut protection. Our liocks, they say, will increase and the wool will grow thicker on the sheep's bsck. Did yo:i ever stop to think how absurd all of these thinsrs are? The tariil means that, if you go outsidt the government o the United States to buy anything to beautify your home or heip your purse, tiiat you must contribute 80 per cent to the p ut f New York ior the privilege. If we need pr-.'.- 'io;i, which means nothing except that the uf what we liny may he increased, it is not ! ,nui-- e we wo. .Id he helped by it. We are told tt-- t oar le:d miufs would shut down if i6 .J were admitted into the I'nited States free of duty. This is one of the strong points of the Republicans. In lSsl theie was a tariff of 1'4 cents a pound on But it was h;ld tlnit if that lead was mixed with silver it. was adra t:ed frf-e- . On October 1, 1H), the McKiniey bill put a duty 011 lead whether it was mixed with silve.-- or not. Son', did our lead nure shut down from 18 to 18 0? No. Yet we practically fad free ores in the act which tdmiLted free lead with sil-vt- r ores. You can't obstruct trade. The in-stinct of man tells him that freedom of trade means his material welfare. No Kepublican can point out any workingman who has been heiieflted by the McKin-Xt'.- y biU. Who fears free trade Every man who has the interest of freedom loves it. Nobody but the barbarian woull want to be in a position to produce what he consumes and con-sumes what he produces. T. B.TIMMOXT was called upon to occupy the spare time between Mr. Rawlins' remarks and the re-port of the committee on credentials. He made a short address in which he told a storv of an Irishman who reminded him of the Liberal party. This Irishman wandered into a graveyard one day, and while looking over the tombstones discovered 'a grave that attracted his attention. It was moss-covere- d and on the head-boar- d were the words, "I still live." Laughter and applause. The Irishman squared himself and looking at the head-boar- d intently for a moment, said: "Be jabers! if I was dead I'd acknowl-edge it." The delegates laughed heartily at this pointed sally and Mr. Timmony sat down with his delegation. M. F. Arnett made a short address and re- - (Continned on pae 8.)

A neat little tale of domestic scandal waa related in the police court this morning anii the finale witnessed the paying of a Cne of $5 by William Bynum for slapping the face of George Hamlin of 1S3 Center street, the relator of the tale of conjugal discord. It appears that Bynum, who is, as hid attorney, J. A.

During the relation of the trouble and the airing of the family linen, the old man in-terrupted lawyers and the-cour- t with ah en-tire disregard for consequences. Be had a grievance and was determined to air it. He bitterly complained that his wiXa and daugh-ter had tired of him and were determined t get rid of him in order to secure possession of the property he acquired in the halcyoD days of his youth. Bynum entered a plea of guilty to. the, charge of assanlt and was fined to. It is a Sallivan-Corbe- tt bet that a divorcer suit will soon be in order. A PERSECUTED VAGRANT. B. Kelly was arraigned for vagrancy. He declared that he was guiltless, Lad. worked no latsr than yesterday and emphatically stated that he did not knowjwbat the police meant by persecuting him. In his opinion, it was funny that he should be arresbed when be labored and had money in his pocket. He also accused McGinty of keep-ing in hot pursuit of him all the time. The case waa continued until 2 o'clock Monday. POOR BUSINESS. Arthur Flint, a redheaded youth with a peachblow complexion, said he was not guilty of the charge of trespass. The arrest-ing officer, Millner, said he was very in- - 1.1 Bulling. 'What did he say?" asked the court. "He wouldn't answer my questions," was the reply. "Well," said Attorney Coad, "if ha wouldn't answer yon he couldn't have been very insulting." "He questioned my authority," answered the cop. "Didn't you swear at me," asked tha pris oner. "I don't remember exactly. I said 'Good God, what am I here for?" " "No; you swore at me," persisted th prisoner. "Well, I did't say it to you." "You didn't speak to me in a civil manner, and I did not think I was doing wrong. I am a stranger here, judge, and have money, and I did not think the officer had any righr to talk to me in the way he did." The court evidently thought the same for he ordered the case dismissed, but not be-fore advising the youth with the Titian locks to hereafter pay a proper modicum 1 respect to a bluecoaL. L.AP8LET WINS HIS CASE. The attorney for J. A. Xishan, who was arrested several days ago on complaint of Plumbing Inspector Lapsley and entered a plea of guilty, stated that since that plea had been made the work had been examined and found to be defective, and he therefore desired to withdraw that plea and subeUUita that of guilty. The assistant eity attorney, tm behalf of the plumbing inspector, asked the court to be lenient, although the offending pUrmber had repeatedly violated tha plumbic g erdi-nan- ce before. Nishan was fined $10. SHORT Qr&DUBjj. Jake Richardson entered a pica of gaKty to the charge of racklass driving and was assessed $10. The arresting officer helped him out by saying tihat-ti- e ease waa not so flagrant as originally believed. William Smith, a farmar, who left his team unhitched, paid $2 for his indiscretion. HELD WITHOUT BAIL. Hugh OTJonnell Is Piemanded to Jail Until His Trial FOR MURDER AT HOMESTEAD. The Judge Says the Evidence Pre-sented Slay Be Contradicted. Ex-plained or Impeached, But It Is Too Direct, and He Canuet Set the Prisoner at Liberty. Pittsburg, Sept. 24. Hugh O'DonneU was refused bail this morning by Judge Por-ter, and will be compelled to remain in jail until his trial. O'Donnell fully expected to he released on bail and was astounded and dejected at the decision to hold him without baiL In his opinion Jude Porter held thaf the evidence was too direct. . "All this testi-mony," said he, "is liable to be contra--' dieted, explained or impeached on trial; bat in this, as in all preliminary hear-ings, we must accept the testimony as true. It indicates that the killing in question was done in riot by men who had a clear understanding or agreement that they would resist all who opposed them, even to the extent of taking life; that de-fendant was a party to this combination and on the ground during the riot, and gave the rioters encouragement. BENTON APPOINTED. He Will Succeed E. H. Parsons as Mar-shal for Utah. What was evident to everybody within the last few days has transpired, as the fol-lowing official dispatch 6hows : Washington', Sept. 24. The President to-day appointed Irving A. Benton of Utah to be United States Marshal for the territory of Utah. The Times office carried Marshal Benton the first news of his appointment aud is smoking his fine Havana cigars in conse-quence. t The Times congratulates the straight Re-publicans on the appointuieai of a man who has announced his purpose to vote for Can-non for congress. FIGHT OYER A CHILD. Mrs. Vaughn Gives Her Baby to Her Sifter AND THEN WANTS IT BACK AGAIN After Hearing the Evidence Judge Zane Iecides to Allow the Aunt to Retain Possession of the Child Suit of Cushing vs. Beck Over an eral Court Xew. Tha hearing in the habeas corpus proceed-ing instituted by Hyrum Vaughn against Charles Miller, in which the former sought to obtain the. custody of his child, cama up for hearing before Judge Zane this morning, C. W. Hall and C. Ira Krebs representing the petitioner. A more stupid looking couple than Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn never appeared in a courtroom. Ilyrum T. Vaughn was first called, and he testified: Am the father of this child, but have not had possession of it since last June. I have de-manded the child, but Mr. Miller refused to let me have it. I work for Bishop Spencer at Lake Point and am able to care for the child." . Th Court Did you give the child to Miller and his wife? Mr. Vaughn Yes, but the y promised to bring it back in a week. The Court Was the child sick at the time? Mr. Vaughn So. The Court Do you live in a house? Mr. Vaughn No; I live in a dugout. Mrs. Vaughn testified that she had three children and she and her husband were able to care for this one. In July last Mr. and Mrs. Miller came to her house and got this baby to keep for a week. 'Charles Miller testified: "In June last my wife and I were at Vaughn's place, a dug-out over Jordan. Vaughn had nothing in the house to eat except short bread, and, seeing the shape they were in, I offered to bring the baby in to Salt Lake for a week or two. We gave it back to them afterwards, but in July the baby was so sick that its life was despaired of, and they fave it to us again, this time to keep, eannot care for this child. Why, look at this wardrobe, which was all the clothing the child had when I took it." The witness here produced a small paper sack which contained two dresses and a pair of stockings. On cross-examinati- it was brought out that Mrs. Vaughn and Mrs. Miller were sis- - ters, aud that Mr. Miller had been something of a sport, but was working at a brick yard. Elizabeth Baker, the mother of the two women, testified that Mrs. Vaughn gave the child to Mrs. Miller when it life was dis-pare- d of. Mrs. Miller testified that her sister gave the child to her without any qualifications. The witness and her husband obtained a physician and paid the bills. The Court Are you willing to give it up? Mrs. Miller No, sir. "Would you be willing for the mother to come and see the child?" "Certaiuly." Mr. Hall Do you think you care as much for the child as the mother does? The Witne I certainly do. "Have you ever been arrested?" "Yes, once." "What for?" "Adultery, but I was acquitted." "Ever been tried in the police court?" "No, sir." "Hasn't your husband served a term in the penitentiary?" "No, sir." Mrs. Turpin testified that she lived in the same house with Mrs. Miller when the latter first took the child, and the Millers certainly did not treat the child well. This statement was indignantly denied by both Mr. and Mrs. Miller and the court said: "This little child seem to be one of those unfortunate human beings which are cast on the world with no one to take care of them. It is a very sad thing for a child to have parents no better qualified to care for it than this little one's are. It is my duty to ascertain what is for the best interests of the child. These parents belong to that class which should not have children; which should not get married. It is evident that the child is well cared for now, and I am not disposed to turn it over these parents, who are evidently hardly able to take care of themselves. The child will remain where 4t is for the present. Of course if at any time these people miss-us- e it or its parents get iu better circum-stances, another order may be made." ALLEGED BREACH OF CONTRACT. The trial of the case of J. J. Cushing ataL vs. John Beck was then resumed. The plain-till- s sue to recover some $31,000 damages al-leged to have been sustained by the defend, ant's action In refusing to carry out a con-trac- t for the purchase of several thousand fruit trees. A verdict will probably be ren-dere- d this evening. , ARRAIGNMENTS. John Smith, alias Angus Stewart, was on the charge of assault with intent to murder, and took until Monday to plead. His bail was fixed at $1000. R. E. Moulton, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, pleaded not guilty. LATE CITY NEWS. McCornick & Co. today received bullion amounting to $10,500 and silver and lead ores valued at $1600. Silver, 83: lead, $4.
