C. O. Whittemore of the Salt Lake dele-- , gation asked that the following protest be entered on the records of the convention: I hereby protest against committing the terri-torial Republican party in favor of Immediate atehood. Coming event will take care of that question. I do not believe that it i the time or the occasion to urge statehood for Utah territory. I most re-spectfully ak tuat this protest against statehood may be made a part of the records ot the proceed-ings of the convention. Elijah Sells. Colonel Sells then spoke in favor of the protest and urged the right of any member to enter a protest against any action of the convention without vote. The point was considered well taken and the protest passed into the records of the convention. THE NOMINEE APPEARS. At this juneture of the proceedings the committee that had been appointed to wait upon Mr. Cannon, entered the theatre with the nominee. Good natured confusion again ensued and the theatre became the scene of animation that parailed the one which greeted the announcement of the selection of "The Little Giant" of Weber aa the party's standard-bearer- . Mr. Cannon was escorted to the stage. As he walked to the center of the platform Grant H. Smith of the Salt Lake delegation met him with a silken badge which he pinned to the lapel of Mr. Cannon's coat. The badge read: For Delegate to Congress, j : Frank J. Cannon. i The audience applauded and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs. Mr. Cannon said: 'Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen of the Conven- - uary 25, 1859. At the age of 13 he left school in order to serve as deputy clerk and re-corder of Weber county, but later was grad-uated from the university of Utah. In 187S he was employed as re-porter on the Salt Lake News, and later as city editor on the Ogden Morn-ing Junction. One year later he established and edited the Logan Leader, but the follow-ing year found him in San Francisco where he was employed as reporter on the Chron-icle; he also served as news editor on that paper. In 1884 he acted aa secretary for John T. Caine, delegate in congress. In 1885 he was elected county recorder of Weber county, but two years later he returned to his first love and became editor of the Ogden Evening Herald. In 1888 he founded the Ogden Jtforning Standard, of which he is still editor. In 1890 he was chief clerk of the Utah legislative council, and the following year was elected first vice-preside-of the Territorial League of Re-publican clubs. He is a member of the Og-den city council, and was sent this year as one of the party delegates to the national Republican convention at Minneapolis. Frank J. Cannon is an eloquent speaker, a ready writer, and is a staunch advocate of Republican principles at all times. He will lead us to victory in November. Thursday Afternoon Session. At 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon the convention again assembled in the theater and was called to order by Mr. George Suth-erland, temporary chairman. George M. Cannon, chairman of the com-mittee on credentials, reported in behalf of that committee and read the list of delegates entitled to Beats in the convention. Mr. Bagley of Weber county moved that none be entitled to vote unless he be a resi-dent of the county from which he purports to come, or has a proxy. He supported his motion in an able manner, as did James Devine of Salt Lake, and Ben . Rich of Ogden. The motion was opposed by Judge Boreman of Weber, Colonel Miller of Salt Lake, Colonel Sells and F. B. Stevens. The motion was put to ballot and carried by a vote of 196 to 186. By special vote Wash-ington and Wayne county representatives were admitted to the floor and allowed their regular vote. , The committee on permanent organiza-tion and order of business then reported as follows: Colonel Sells, chairman; F. J. Heudershot, secretary; H. S. Pyne, J. D. n the delegates to the Eepubacau territorial convention had assembled in the theater, and were again ready for the duties of the hour. All night long many of them had been at work among the delegations striving as best a politician knows how to win votes for this or that favorite son. Weary but full of true Republican enthus-iasm they took their places at the call of the chair man. Chairman Sells arose and introduced Cal-vin Reasoner of Salt Lake, who addressed the body upon the subject of campaign liter-ature. He discussed the volume known as "The Handbook of Republicanism," and the necessity of the employment of such a po-litical book in tbe coming campaign. GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS. Mr. Crane of Kanosh was the first on his feet, when the chair announced that he was ready for business. . He desired to withdraw that plank in the platform endorsing the acts of Governor A. L. Thomas, and so moved. The question was put and carried and the following plank was stricken from the platform : ( Th.s convention heartily endorses the action of Governor Arthur L. Thomas in his efforts to protect and farther the interes-t- i of the territory in his recommendations and his exercise of the Veto power. BALLOTING IN ORDER. Several delegates were reported absent from Salt Lake county, and after consider-able argument it was agreed that the ma-jority should vote the absentees. Between the second and third ballots Arthur Brown mounted the platform and withdrew Bennett's name in favor of Sutherland. It then seemed the opinion of many that it was anybody's fight, and with the chances in favor of George Sutherland as a dark horse. Utah county stood by him In solid phalanx and cheered and cheered over the slifehtest mention of his name. Ben-nett's forces were well at hand and his name was always the signal for a wild outburst of applause. It was so with the Cannon men, and at tiroes during the balloting the scene was one cf the most intense excite-ment. Hats, coats and banners were waved iii the air, and cheer after cheer rang out for the favorite sons. THE FIRST BALLOT. Finally the first ballot of the day was com-pleted, and the chair announced it as fol-low s: Whole number of votes 414 Ivecrntary Ljf ciioice 2urt 1'rank .!. Cannon lbtt '. U".

After the work shall have been done and the charge discharged, I hope to give back to I'tan the trust unsullied and un-tarnished. This magnificent convention is a Dressa of victory. But should our hopen not be triumphant, the time will come w hen the victory of the Kepubiican party fhall sweep from Lojan to Dixie. To you younger Republicans let us remember that to theee fathers of the party in Utah we owe a debt of gratitude which will be amply repaid in the future.

Recommended that the territorial committee be empowered to elect an executive committee of live members from their own number or from THE SECOND BALLOT. There was no choice on the first ballot and thej convention atrain proceeded to ballot. Sutherland gained ground during the second call and it was seen that he was drawing his strength from Bennett. Cannon seemed to be hoidiiiir his own and his friends kept up the yell of enthusiasm almost constantly. The secretary announced this ballot as fo'.iows: Whole number of votes 413 Neceng.iry for a choice 07 Frank J. Cannon ld O. W. Benimtt 130 George Sutherland 93 THE END IS REACHED. Again the convention proceeded to a ballot and the Sutherland and Cannon forces rent the air with yells. As the last county was called quiet reigned for a minute and then pandemonium broke loose. Whole delegations leaped to their feet aud howled like maniacs, for Frank J. Cannon had been voted to victory iu the convention. Here is the final ballot: Whole number of votes 413 Necessary for a choice 2u7 Frank J. Cannon 211 George Sutherland 202 As the chair announced the vote a Salt Lake delegate leaped to his feet and en-deavored to get the ear of the chairman. Over on the Utah county side Delegate Booth stood above his colleagues- - and shrieked "Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman!" His voice was drowned by the cries of 400 men. Charley Crane from Millard and his 6ixtcen colleagues, who had stoon like a phalanx throughout the contest for Cannon, could be heard above the din crying "Can-non! Cannon!" The Weber county dele-gates lost all semblance of reason. They howled and shrieked for joy. Finally the shouts died away in a dull, sodden roar the subdued murmur ol voices 4 filled tbe room. It was the murmurings of the elements before the storm. The noise grew. Charley Crane of Millard shouted "Cannon!" The storm broke and delegates and spectators cried "Cannon!" "Cannon!" At length Utah county was heard and Chairman Booth moved to make the nomi- - .j nation unanimous and it was so voted and declared by the chair. ' ? A committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Crane, Booth and Martin was appointed to ' wait upon the nominee and escort him to tbe J hall. .1 THE TERRITORIAL COMMITTEE. ; Durinar the absence of the above named J committee the territorial Republican com- - mittee was elected by the selection of one i ' member for each county as follows: Beaver John A. Muidock, Beaver. k ' f ' h I 'I ' hest benefit its people. I accept tnis nomination with a tirm reliance in the destiny of our cause I and a tirm belief that this grand Utihof ours shall be politically and industrially free. The speech of Mr. Cannon was greeted with great applause. At its conclusion the glee club santr "Billy McKinley, O," and the audience encored the selection to the echo. The convention then formally adjourned sine die. THE VOTE BT COUNTIES. The following is a tabulated report of the ballots as cast by counties. THIRD. FIFTH, i I COU5TTES.

Cannon, the man who has been selected as congressional delegate candidate to lead the Republican hosts to victory in November next, is a territorial product in the truest sense of tbe word. Ha was born iu the city of Salt Lake Jan-- uuii-iuc- uers. Recommended that the rnles of the Fifty-fir- st coneress govern the deliberations of this conven-tion. Colonel Sells was then introduced as per- manent chairman of the convention and spoke as follows: Gentlemen of Convention: It rives me great fileasnre to stand before so many staunch Since the time of Lincoln I have not been in the habit of making speeches, but if I could go back to the time of the great and jrood grandfather of our present eood president, I raisht say that in 1840 I voted for William Henry Harrison. Gentlemen, I thank yon for the honor conferred upon me. At 6 o'clock a motion was made to adjourn to 8 o'clock in the evening, and carried by a close vote. THURSDAY EVENING'S WORK. A Hard and Stubborn Fight Made By All Factions. Salt Lake theatre was thronged with people at 8:20 o'clock last night, when Chairman Sells again called the Republicans of Utah to order. John Henry Smith of-fered prayer. A song by the Glee club was next listened to with great satisfaction, and the chair an-nounced that the committee was ready for business. Samuel J. Kenyon then advanced to the front of the stage and, as chairman of the committee on resolutions, offered the- report of that committee. He first read this reso-lution: We extend to President Harrison onr sympathy in this time of his affliction with the heartfelt hope that Mrs, Harrison, who has for four years made the White house a model American home, may long be spared, to share the honors and re-sponsibilities of her husband's public and do-mestic life. He next submitted the report of the com-mittee on platform, which was in toto as fol-lows: . THE PARTY PLATFORM. This delegate convention, representing a con-stituency now fully recognized as a component part of the gret Kepubiican party ef the nation, congratulates the people of Utah upon the glo-rious outlook for a continuance ia power of this freat party which has maie the "American the longed-fo- r goal of the oppressed of all nations of the earth. ita system of protection of American labor by taxing the competing products of the peon and paaper labor of other countries; ita upbuilding of home industries: its fostering care of home markets, and by lae reciprocal relations the gradual, but pure, extension of foreign markets for the products o f this country, commands our (Continued on pace 3.)

New York, Sept. 16. The morning is clear and chilly, and it is becoming evident that frost is not far away. No symptoms of panic from cholera is reported from any part of the city, and everybody appears most hopeful. The street cleaning department is hastening its efforts and the odor of disin-fectants is upon the air everywhere, show-ing hat individuals are doing their part. Funds for protection are piling up daily. The chamber of commerce has raised $156,-00- 0. Beyond all local effort is the proven strength of the state and its blunt and posi-tive executive. He said in an interview that he "don't care a damn for votes lost or won by any action taken by the governor in a case like the present cholera trouble." - The people have all read this statement of Gov-ernor Flower and they feel more than ever reassured. The storm buffeted passengers of the Nor-mani- a are having another experience in delay this morning. They have been re-leased from quaraintine and left Fire island this morning for New York. The tide waa out, however, and the Cepheus ran aground near Fire island. No damage, but the vessel must wait for flow tide. A QCEKK EXPLANATION. Eleven Victim Are Considered to Be Good ' . Neirt y Immigration Kbarka. t - New Yob k, Sept. 16. Excitement ruled this morning in the offices of the Hamburg American Packet company. Yesterday the officers and company's work were in a nor-mal condition, few people inquired for their missing friends and the clerks were able, to get at some of their work so long neglected, but this morning there was a run upon1 the offices by those who wanted news from the Bohemia. Agent Cortis was early at bis desk. "I consider," said he, "the report of eleven deaths, all children, from the Bohemia is good news. I question very much if thev are genuine cholera. rA. The Bohemia left Hamburg on August 21, after the most rigid measures had been taken to prevent a cholera outbreak. Not only was the baggage and steerage disin-fected daily for several days, but each steer-age passenger was subjected to quarantine eight days before being allowed to go on the vessel." There were 683 steerage pas-sengers on the Bohemia. The cabin passen-gers, of whom there are seven, are as fol-lows: Fritz Tott, Fred Kuennecke, Mrs. Bertha Kuennecke. Charles Hartunr. Mrs. Hortenne Hesse and Samuel Bernhardt and son. The officers of the Bohemia are Cap-tain F. Schroder, First Officer E. Miller, Second Officer J. Falck, Third Officer F. Deppling, Physician D. Wendland. The Bohemia is another Scandia. Eleven deaths on the voyage are given aa due to gastro intestinal trouble by the director, but according to all appearances they are due to genuine Asiatic cholera. She left the plague stricken city of Hamburg September 3, and three days later Sara Distor was taken ill. It was no case of infantile disease as the woman in question was 26 years of age and her iittle child, Peshe, was taken off the same day. Next day Rewke Wesslib, a grown woman and two children succumbed. Ur if wont fir Aav Viv rinv Thr. . . A rn on the 8th and then a stay of a few days, when again a case was recorded.

On her arrival there were four sick ou board and they have been removed to Swinburne isiand by Dr. Byron. TWO CASES AT GREENPORT. The Wives of Russian Jews Smuggle It Iato the Village. Grkenport, L. I., Sept. 16. Great excite-ment has been created here by the discovery ot two steerage passengers from the Mora-via who have got ashore by some means and are at this place. They are Mrs. Mary Hen-kelma- n and Mrs. Paulina Janowski. wives of two Russian Jews who have lived here for several years. The husbands confess that their wives arrived by the Mo-ravia but no explanation is given as to how they got ashore. The women brought with them several children and consequently baggage. The house in which they live is in a thickly settled part of the village, but a strict quarantine of the premises has been ordered by the health officers. DEAD OX THE BOHEMIA.

HE HURRAHS FOR FRANKCANNON And Ha a Notion to Knter the Race Against Him Himself What He Would Do If He Had the Time and Money A Characteristic The-atrical Exhibition Before an Audi-ence or His Henchmen. "Rah for Cannon:' shouted Judge Pow; ers, the Liberal boss, this morning when Chairman Sells announced that Frank J. Cannon had received 211 votes. '"Rah for Cannon!" he again shouted when the Weber favorite was declared the nomi-nee of the convention. "He's our man, boys," he shouted in his clarion tones, "and I want it thoroughly understood that I have 'Tooted' for him ail the time. 'Rah for Cannon!" he again shouted, and with a parting shout to his henchmen: 'Come on, boys, let's celebrate!" he passed out of the theater into the street. HU pro-gress to the nearest refreshment joint was impeded at Utmost every 6tep by some en-thusiast rushing up and shaking him by the hand. To all his oily salutations was: 'Rah for Cannon! Come on." The boss u nothing if not dramatic, and as an actfr in a political way he has no equal ou cr off the stage. When defeat stares him in the face is the time he is gay-est, for it would never do to tear the mask away and allow bis henchmen to know his true feelings. During a lull in his performance a Times reporter asked him what he meant by 'rail-ing for'Caiinon so lustily. "What do I mean? I don't mean- - any-thing, but the nomination of Cannon means 2000 additional votes for the Liberal party!" The reporter smiled at the boss' character-istic manner of expressing himself, and asked: "How do you figure that oiit " "I don't have to figure very hard to see 10,000 Liberal votes deposited in tbe ballot boxes next November. "Rah for Cannon" again I say." ""Well, let Cannon rest awhile. I want to know where your 10,000 votes are coming from ?" ''Coming from? Everywhere! That state-hood clause iu the platform will briug some. 8ait Lake county can be depended upon for a greater majority than ever. Summit will be true as of yore, and even in Cannon's own county ws have more than a fighting chance." "A fighting chance in Weber?" repeated the reporter. "Yes, we will have more than a fighting chance. We propose to go down there in a few weeks . in a special train a thousand strong and assail the enemy in his own stronghold. We wpl take our wives, our babea and our sweethearts. . Tbe Tus-earor-w'll go in a body brass ands will be as piitLUfuJ as 6t.p in tbe wigwam, and every man' will be" loaded down with flre-Hurk- s.

"A you are so conadent of victory, who will your party enter for the congressional race?" was the next question. An . smile chased itself through the interstices of his whiskers, as the boss replied: "Well, he. has not been selected yet. But, don't you know (here he became very affa-ble), if I couid aford it mind you, afford jt and could spare the time the time I wouli enter the race for the nomination my-self. If I won I would make a canvass that would reach every nook and crauuy in the territory. I would take a good liveiy, young Republican Liberal like Charley Stanton, for instance with me, embark on board a buckboard, send an advance agent just like a theatrical agent, you Know ahead of me, bill the towns, and speak to the ruraliets morning, noon and night, and inform them just wDat the cost of statehood would be to them. That would fetch 'em. Facts and figures tell in a cam-paign just the same as everywhere else." " what vote would you expect?" asked the scribe when he could recover his breath. "Well, I might not get there but I could come within a thousand of it anyway and that would be very irralif-yini- r to my pride." "So that ia your programme?" "No, no; do not mistake my meaning. What I mean is that I would like to do if I had the time and the money. It would take two weeks' time and $2jO0. I have neither to spare. But, oh! if I only had it!" "Would you be a can ," began the re-porter, but the boss interrupted him with: "I can say no more. I cannot take to the hustings, but I can and do 'rah for Canuon!" With a genial "Come on, boys; let's jubi-late," the boss made his escape into a friend-ly refreshment resort. STANDS BY THEMIS. The Board of Public Works Still Determined TO IGNORE HOME PEOPLE AND FAVOR THE ALIEN. Protests of Property Owners Disre-garded AND UTAH GIVEN OVER TO THE ENEMY. Such Is the Xews From What "The Times" Considers an Authorita-tive Source It Will Canse a Con-flict in the Council To-nig- ht The Board Cast in a Raskin Mould It Will Break Before It Will Bend--A Mass Meetinsor Independent Clti- - zens May Be Xeeessary. From an authoritative source a Times re-porter learned this afternoon that the board of public works, disregarding the protest of the property --owners and merchants which have been filed against awarding the paving contract t'j the Barber company, will report back its award to the cityeoancil this evening and is determined to ktand or fall on its original decision. This will precipitate a conflict in the city council, as a number of its mem- - bers have declared that under no cir-cumstances will they countenance wha they consider an outrage upon the public and an unwarrantable attack on what prom-ises to be one of Utah's most prominent and profitable industries. One councilman voiced the sentiments of his colleagues today in alluding to the probable action of the board. Said he: "Shall fifteen cted to office, be made subservient to the will of a board placed in power by them. They are not re-sponsible to the people, but to us and we would be false to our trust if we should al-low them to dominate us in this matter. I want the streets paved. I want home labor and home material used, but rather than give the contract to the Bar-ber company-- will vote to do away with paving this year. The lowest responsible brdder is entitled to the work, and on that platform I propose to stand." His colleagues, with but one exception, agreed with him, and that oae, while anx- - ious to have paving done this year, but H in favor of a home company. Interviews. .,the druggist, was of the opinion that it matters liuie in what nit. li-ner the contract was awarded so it went to home men and home material was used. He believed that the board of pubBc works was perfectly competent to handle the question with the iijrht that was now before it. Fred Corker, the mining secretary, said that if a mass-meetin- g waa neeeeaary it would receive his hearty support. Home talent should be given a show" and if noth-ing else but a public expression of opinion would accomplish that desired object it should be set in motion. Jf. H. Lippman, merchant, declared that be was in favor of adopting any measure that would give home material a show. Ctah. asphalt, he believed, was as good as any in tbe world, and he did not thing it a square deal to condemn it without first sub-mitting it to a test. Sam Lery, cigar manufacturer, emphati-cally stated that he was tired of the whole business. A home firm had made the lowest bid and the work should be awarded to them. A mass meeting would not be out of place, in his opinion, for he was in favor of any movement that would improve the chy at the earliest passible moment. They should appiy protection to Utah- and give her people and products any opportunity to show what thoy ean do. If nothing else will fill the bill, call a mass meeting, say L REPUBLICAN CREED. It Is Reaffirmed in the National League Meeting". WHITELAW REID IS PRESENT. General Clarkson Ke-elect- ed Presi-dent and a Ringing Set of Kewolu- - tions AdoptedThe National Wo-men- s' Republican Association Has Also an KnthusiasiUe Meeting. Buffalo, Sept. 16. Chairman Clarkson called the National Republican League con-vention to order at 11 o'clock, the meeting of committees delaying the opening for nearly an hour. The committee on time aud place reported in favor of Louisville as the place and the second Wednesday in May as the time for holding the next annual convention. William Gallagher moved that Cleveland be substituted for Louisville. After a spirited discus-sion Louisville was cn,sen and the recommendation as to time indorsed. The report of the"- - com-mittee on resolutions was presented by Gtfn- - cral Fairchild of Wisconsin. It indorses anu commends the administration of President Harrison and approves the platform adopted by the national convention at Minneapolis. By an unanimous rising vote Hon. J. S. Clarkson of Iowa was re-elected president for the ensuing year. A committee was appointed to notify Chair-man Clarkson of his election, and the elec-tion of secretary was declared in order. A. B. Humphrey was unanimously ecretarv and Treasurer Lounsberry was also treasurer. When Clarkson the hall be was GREETED WITH DEAFENING CHEERS and made a brief speech of thanks. ShoTtly before 1 o'clock Whitelaw Reid was escorted into the hail, and after the ovation which greeted him had subsided he made a brief speech congratulatory of the good work of the Republican League clubs throughout the country. One of the resolutions adopted appeals for the support of all first voters, statin-- : that the Republican party has been from its hirtli th rmrtv of advancement and pro- - grecs. Tha Republican press of the country is declared to be one of the most potent agen-cies that can be employed to promote the principles of Republicanism, and to be worthy of the hearty encouragement and support of all Republicans.

Moran Will Extend the Olive Branch TO THE EXECUTIVE OF THE CITY The Latest and Most Popular Move of the Champion of Labor Conten-tions Wast Cease When the Inter-ests of the City and Its Working-me- n Are Involved As the Moun-tain Will Xot Come to Mahomet, that Individual Must Make His Way to the Mountain. At session of the city council an effort will be made to heal the differences which have existed between certain members and Mayor Baskin. The unprofitable squab-ble has been productive of nothing but heart-burnings, and hundreds of working incu have been kept out of employment awaiting a settlement of the existing grievances. This state of affairs has not redounded to the credit of those responsible for it and all, ir-respective of political affiliations, can now rejoice that it is about to be brought to an end. Alderman Moran, labor's representative in the council, declared today to a Times rep-resentative that so far as he was personally concerned, he was willing that the white flag of peace 6hould have a position of honor in the council chamber, and that he. for one, will meet the mayor more than half way in any scheme to push forward to com-pletion the laying of water mains, construc-tion of sewers and sidewalks aud paving the streets, and better the condition of the la-boring men of the community. Winter Is coming on, he says, and the city, whose treasure vaults are filled with money received from the people who have been as-sessed for the improvements, should take care of its laboring population. He is wil-ling to agree to any fair and square proposi-tion which may be made iu tbe line of im-provement, and will, if necessary, lead the fight. The eight-hou- r law has also not been for-gotten by him, for its provisions are incor-porated in all the sewer ordinances, as well as in the paving specifications, and the laborer who works for the city will have the assurance that for a fair day's pay only a fair day's labor will be required. The aldermau has again proved to the peo-ple that the title, labor's champion, has not been misapplied. LATE CITY NEWS. Silver, 83; lead, $1.03.
