Roberts case ghastlv In Its menace to tho welfare of tho Slate and the success of time I Democratic party was dragged In Its hldeousness from its sepulcher and fought over again The most dramatic feature of the contest was witnessed when 15 H Roberts sprang from his scat like an Infuriated bull to deny a statement made by J R Lctcher Mr Lctcher had made the statement that Roberts himself regietted that he had now given cause for the troubles that Utah had undergone In his behalf when the exCongressmunelect sprang to his feet and demanded recognition WOULDNT SHUT UP James 11 Moyle endeavored to prevent pre-vent Roberts Irom talking but the rejected re-jected Congressman paid no attention to the Slate chairman and in thunder tones said to Mr retch r I want to say to the gentlemen that he it altogether alto-gether and absolutely wrong if i he thinks there Is one lola of logiet over my action in my heart Then Letcher replied I say all the more shame amid pily for you The malodorous Roberts case was Injected Into the deliberations of the convention through the medium of a resolution accompanying the platform and which deplored the action oC Jon gloss In the rejected Congtessmans caseABEL ABEL JOHN THE FATHER Time resolution was introduced at the morning session bj l Abel John Evans of Utah county but had been modified by the committee on resolutions and platform I plat-form There had also been a bitter light against the resolution In the commit com-mit < and nearly half the members had become disu ted and left the commit teeroom beiv > ic the resolution was finally attached lo time platform THATCHER BACK IN LINE To the surprise of many Moses Thatcher fought for the resolution and vmts assisted by almost every commlt leemin frohi the southern counties 1 C Thoreson of Cache E W Wilson representing San Juan Thomas Marion caux of Sfvler and Thomas D Dee of Weber led the light against it but they were outnumbered and the resolution I was appended The light against the resolution in time convention was Intensely bitter but it ended in the adoption of the objectionable ob-jectionable clause VAX COTTS POSITION Waldemar Van Cott opened the content con-tent by moving that the resolution be stricken out Then the fury o Roberts friends broke loose and for over an hour one of the most acrimonious discussions dis-cussions ever heard In the State raged with unabated zeal Those who declared that the adoption of the resolution miant ruin to the party and further humiliation to tho people of the State were Waldemar Van Cott

made a gallant fight I They declared dispassionately and earnestly that the Democracy of Utah could not afford to go to the people upon such a platform and that it was useless for Utah to court further oppo sltlon from the Federal Government and the peopleifoL the country but I Roberlss maddened supporters refused to heed their admonitions and the resolution I lution went through without change WHAT KING WILL DO J R Lelcher asked just as the convention con-vention was adjourning If King would support the platform and several of the nominees friends replied that the Judge who was not present would answer an-swer the question at the proper time POOR LITTLE HER I The only amusing feature of the debate de-bate was the enterprising Insistence with which S E Hamer of Salt Lake I attempted to read and reply to the I speech of Representative Landis In the House He also attempted to introduce I Intro-duce n resolution branding Representative Representa-tive Landis as a liar and hurling certain I cer-tain statements back in his teeth but ho was howled at and ruled out of order or-der by the chair until he gave up In sullen despair ROBERTS OTHERWISE IGNORED Outside of the adoption of the Roberts Rob-erts resolution which was not by any means strong enough to suit Roberts the rejected Congressman was turned down at every point His name was not presented In connection with the nominations for the national delegation delega-tion a suggestion that he he called upon for an address only received four feeble seconds and was sat upon by I the chair and a motion that he offer prayer was laughed at TH MORNING SKIBMJSH Arranging the Preliminaries for the Conflicts I was only a few minutes alter 1 oclock when James H MoyJc chairman man of the Democratic Stale committee

In a trance while others Incoherently babbled like a parrot tvim iclt had swallowed a carpettack Oh I It was u great exhibition one of tin llnest the house had over seen and the T I net result of the afternoons work was tho selection of six delegates to the national na-tional convention and the waste of enough gas to furnish the Stale with lIght and heat for a generation to come FAILED TO COMB TO ORDER Temporary Chairman Maglnnls as ported that tho convention would como to order at 225 but It did not come to order until a recesa for lunch was la lien several hours later Judge Mugln niB who It may be remarked referred to himself generally a the court COtlt asked IC the committee on credentials vaa ready to report Apparently It wos not because nobody gave the chair mans remark more than

delegation The i i minority report was then read reccmi i mending that both delegations be seated seat-ed and each nian allowed u halfvote This was finally done but it was almost al-most time for the mule to pause for the dinner horn before the mailer was derided Thd substitution of the minority < ec nority report for the clause relating to the Eureka dcjegation was moved Hob Sloan of Salt Luke fell moved to make I a few remarks for the minority and Delegate Christensen from Ogden thought the majority report would do I GAVE THEM A ROAST Mr King then t arose and in a few r highly humorous remarks handed his respects to tho opposing delegation suggesting that they were a lot of I pettifoggers not what youd call rcul good Democrats who got up there all I atone together In a room and 1 was I with them butT didnt know what they uas JoIn and they took snap Jedgmenl We only done our duty as vu seen it A point of order was pushed against Mr King at this Juncture but lie did not seem to feel 1 It for It was sometime some-time before the court got him to sit down I F Ii Hoteheimer ofthe other delegation delega-tion then arose and read something less I than thousand affidavits and depositions deposi-tions from Mayors chairmen Constables Consta-bles and things In Eureka The Idea r f seemed to bethatthe convention there was called to meet February IMth but j I that owing to the smallpox scare the Mayor a Republican It was slated told the committee ho was going to prevent all meetings and they would have to meet on the 22nd or pass the buck Some mot and ihosi their delegates

which was tho substitution substitu-tion of the minority report The motion mo-tion was lost and Mr Holzhelmer spoke on and on and the stars came out and the llltlo birds went to rest and the lights

night If you had them Indorsed Abel John Evans the familiar A John arose and said he desired to lake hiss his-s ut again and permission was graciously gra-ciously given The substitution of the

nothing harmful In the resolution as reported re-ported by the committee I Democrats ie could not get together and discuss matters I mat-ters of that character without trouble before the then the party could not go RE people MI Sloan denied that the matter jflI mat-ter was n dead Issue and declared himself him-self In favor of the resolution as reported tn t re-ported I It was such a nambypamby proposition he could not understand ffim why there was so much opposition to it I and It certainly had been strong J enough to raise abundant opposition tri The Issue was before time

declared were false and that they contributed to the failure of Roberts lo m luk > his seat Mr r Sloan was not therw 10 I say that the peuplo of Huh were pantgons of virtue and so I far as Roberts was concerned he thought he could take care I of himself The action of Congress had placed a stigma upon every mal woman and chIld in Utah and he would hate t to live I in i the State or 1lolg to a party that was too cowardly cow-ardly to resent the charges made against the people of Utah during the Roberts Investigation Votes might be lost by the declaration hit he preferred to lose voles rather than to act the part of I coward ONEILL IS HEARD William ONeill said I you think I by alowlng the resolution to remain there it would lose votes you do not know the people of Utah Are we goIng go-Ing to bo

sus-taining the rights of the people of this i Stato and of this Nation and maintaining maintain-ing and upholding the law I claim that Congress in denying the oath of oMlce lo our Representative did

sentiment senti-ment tonIght 1 did from the beginning I of division on national arty i lines In r Utah I stand tonight for the Constitution Constitu-tion of Utah every word of it The committee that introduced that resolution resolu-tion did nol introduce It because It was required only even required by the Hon B H Roberts In the platform committee1 I yielded lo the I majority and my position is that I shall yield to the decision of this honorable body tonight to-night VAN COTT CLOSED J Mr Van Colt said that in closing the debate ho wished lo call the allenllon of the convention to the fact that when Mr Uobcrts was nominated the Democrats Demo-crats had an overwhelming majority In the I city eounly and Slate since then the majority had slipped away until In Salt Lake Pity the Republicans won j the last election This he said wa II because of the nomliritloii and election of B U Roberts A Juab counly delegate then moved I to strike 1 out Ihe luhL lo lines of the resolution deploring the action of Congress etc but lheAanuudment t t was lost The motion to strike out the resolution resolu-tion was then lost by 1 vote of about 2 lo 1 after which the platform was I adopted shouted In its entirely and the victors NOMINATION I OF KING Flood of Oratory Turned on for the Judge and Dun1ar As soon as the resolutions and platform plat-form had finally been disposed of Chairman Roylance announced that nominations for a Ite1resen aLive to Congress were In order I was decided to call the roll of counties and allow m each county to plane I man before the I convention or waive Its right

human breasts have been quelled and that we will now enthrone peace and better Judgment This grand assemblage as-semblage Is represenlative of the Democracy De-mocracy of the State of Utah and it appears that every delegate present senses fully the responsibility resting upon him or her Individually and upon this convention collectively Upon your action tonight depends the weal or the I woe of the Democratic party at thu polls thirty days hence and that election elec-tion will be only preliminary to the election next November In determining the selection of a candid can-did ite Iwo questions will be uppermost in the mind of every delegate First If I he Is nominated and elected will ho represent Utah well in the national zis sembly will he by the force of his intellect in-tellect be 1 able to gjasi the standard of thofc whom we have sent there before fore and bear It to n higher point and second will he be able to command tIme strength at the polls Gentlemen I believe Unit 1 have a candidate who will nearly at least fulfill these requirements quirements The gentleman whom I shall name lonight Is well known In every town In Utah and If he is nominated nomi-nated no one from the north to the south will have to ask who he Is I ilo first came Into public life as a member of the legislative body of the Territory and lmt was made the presiding officer of the Council of the Territory In 1801 he was appointed by the Administration Adminis-tration as a District Judge In the First district and you may go to those who know him there and ask his record you may see It for yourself Wo have had many bright and able Judges upon the bench in Utah but not one of them has been able to dispatch business with us great rapidity as he The convention conven-tion In Provo nominated him convel Con In 1D6 and hue gross was elected by a majority of 20000 SERVICES IN CONGRESS His services in Congress are well I wel known to every one of you There is l not IL person upon this lloor tonight who would not be woul proud were the record n ord his He came home from Congress In 1JS3S and the question arose as to whether he would be a candidate for reelection or a candidate
