| Show PART OF THE TICKET the liberals held precinct conventions vent ions last night and made nominations for all but general officers for the city the latter are to be nominated on jan 14 the principal fault the peoples peopled party can find with the ticket is that it does not present worthy foemen flemen in the political ifield field there are a few men of respectability but many of the candidates are not up to even the average of ability among als 11 while nearly all of the strong men are left out at the conventions the following communication was read gentlemen you have observed that th the call of the committee convening this congeni convention ion states the purpose among other things to be the nomination of one alderman three council meu men and a justice of the peace it is proper for us to state the reasons which induced us to prepare the call in that ader way under the charter of salt lake one alderman from each municipal ward and nine councilmen at large are required tired to be elected biennially it is ilu the e opinion of the chairman of your committee that such are the officers who are to be elected in february but a question was raised as to whether the act of the legislature of this er of march 1888 relative to the Un incorporation corporation and incorporation re of cities does not apply to this city so far at lest as dispensing with aldermen and requiring the election of three councilmen from each municipal ward or precinct your committee took the advice of three of the ablest attorneys in the city and they filed with us a written opinion in which they state without qualification that the act acl of 1888 applies so far as suggested above dabove but say they in their opinion as a matter of policy yand and precaution ec aution we recommend thattie that the liberal conventions nominate and the liberal parly party vote for one alderman and three councilors councillors counci lors from each municipal ward if it be hereafter determined that there should be elected five aldermen and nine councilmen then a x of the fifteen councilmen voted for can an e one side and decline to qualify C if P 1 it t be d determined 0 ter mined that there are no aldermen and fifteen councilmen to be chosen then of course the aldermen coul i not qualify this arrangement it will be readily seen provides for any contingency and we have followed the advice given we therefore desire to make the following suggestions to this convention and that they be acted upon before you proceed to nominate your candidates or that you agree upon some other basis of action which will accomplish the same results 1 that it be understood and agreed by this convention and its nominees that in the event that it shall be decided that our city officers are to be chosen in accordance with the cit city charter and not in accordance wit with the act of 1888 that the third candidate named for councilman step one side at ard d decline to qualify 2 that from the precinct from which the city convention shall choose the mayor the second and third candidates named for councilmen shall step one side this letter will be presented to each of the five municipal ward conventions and if the plan suggested is agreed upon or some other equally feasible all difficulty will be obviated in the future this plan seems to us to be fair for the mayor being a member of the council if the second and third candidates if necessary step one side in the ward in which he resides each precinct will have equal representation we remain for victory and progress your obedient servants 0 W POWERS chairman A L WILLIAMS secretary pro tern tem the following nominations were made for candidates at the next election ALDERMEN first precinct R alfr alff second precinct J K gillespie third precinct J R morris fourth precinct ctr B R D winters fifth precinct H A whitney councilmen first precinct M K parsons A J pendleton Pend lelon W ff H ford second precinct james anderson W L pickard frederick heath third precinct H Pem pembroke brokeT T W armstrong dan wolstenholme fourth precinct W P noble louis cohn L E hall fifth precinct L C karrick Karr lck 1 I W P lynn W F james JUSTICES JUSTICE OF THE PEACE first precinct ii H 8 S laney second precinct jm jaa F bradley third precinct E ff H kahler fourth precinct fred kesler fifth precinct W W gee a the public can now bestow such consideration as they think proper on the gentlemen who are to suffer defeat at the hands bands of the peoples peopled party voters on the of february next |
