SMITH He ia Not Only Admitted to a Beat, but ia Elected Proaident of that AuSubordinate gust Body Officers Chosen. We give below a report of the proceeding! of the Gonetitptional Convention on Tuesday ami Wednesday. We have taken the account of a portion of Tuesdays proceedings from the Tribune, and . Wednesdays News. NATION. LaOGAM from the Deseret TUESDAY. . Hon. John Henry Smith will not only occupy a seat in the Constitutional Convention, but that seat will be the presiding officer's chair. The convention admitted him yesterday and will make him its president today. The struggle to give the Third precinct its rightful representation in the convention whs a one, but r.fUr lasting several hours it resulted in the complete overthrow and dually in tlie surrender of the oppoeiton. The popular argument against the Republicans plan to cause an immediate investigation of the problem unnecesahrily forced upon the convention by the democrats of the Utah Commission, was that such plan would delay the permanent organization and causa a wests of time. Rut when the subject was referred to the Credentials Committee, it disposed of it satisfactorily in less than half an bonr and the motion to seat the .Thin precinct members' was made by a democrat who had been one of the foremost in opposing the proposition on the floor. The crashing defeat given 0. S. Varian by hia own party was a conspicuous feature of the days proceedings. He stormed against the righteous programme of the Republicans and got caught in n whirlwind of wrath himself. Not a Republican stood with him at the dose. When John Henry Smith and his precinct col leagues were given seats by the united votes of democrats and Republicans, two men in the chamber experienced the bitterness of condemnation J. R. Letcher, who bad assisted in committing the wrong then righted, and C. S. Varian, who had vainly attempted to prolong it. In cancoa later in the day the Republicans nominated a ticket for permanent officers with John Henry Smith at itH head, and will elect it this morning. Then President Smith will take np the work of forming the standing commit teee, and when tjicy are annonnoed the real business of the session will tegin. lianl-fong- ht . -- WEDNESDAY. At 10:80 JudgeC. C. Goodwin the presidential chair mounted , . and called the convention to order and announced that he did so at the request of chairman Kimball who was ill. The Revereud R. G. McNiece offered prayer. After roll call, Messrs. F. H. Richards and David Evana were exciued for the day, and Secretary Wells announced that he had received a message from Hon. O. F. Whitney, stating that he would not be able to be in attendance at todays session on account of the clerk, one miunte clerk, one one watchman and janitor, one messenger, one enrolling and engrossing clerk, one official stenographer and typewriter, two pages and three committee clerks. W. J. Kerr, of Cache, moved to amend the resolution by striking out the committee clerks. R. H.

Mr. Van Horne, of Salt Lake, opposed tbe motion, saying that the matter of selecting so important an officer as the president should be recorded. Considerable debate followed and finally came to an issne in a standing vote being taken- - The vote in the affirmative waa almost nnanimoua. The chair appointed Messrs--Squireand Roberta to escort Mr. Smith to the platform, which he ascended amid the moat hearty enthusiasm and applaaae. the-mat- ter s KB. SMITH'S SPEECH. ' Mr. Smith Baid it would be impossible for him to find words to pxpmis tb .feelings within hia breast For many years it - had been a dream of bis that a time wouldf come when the people of Utah would strike handB upon common ground and put them upon the handles of the plow of statehood and work in harmony for the wilfare of all. In the past a kind Providence bad guarded the people of this Territory in their efforts to do what they had done.. He presumed and trusted that the same Providence would guide them when the commonwealth should arrive at the fall stature of statehood. Six times had there been constitutional conventions in Utah. Six times the sacred duty of drafting a constitution had been performed. Six times admission to the Uuion had been denied. Rut he held no in bis heart towards those who had been responsible for this. He hoped that in the work before the Convention no mans interest would lie advanced, but that the interest of all would be the para mount issue. They were to frame the fundamental law under which all may live. He trusted that in their deliberations there wonld lie a presBn absence ence of wisdom and consideration. Tbe political parties of the Territory bad met in tbe arena as men Their fight was over and the common good should now be the desire of all. ss GAVEL PRESENTATION. Mr. Smith was frequently applauded and when be hail finished Bpeaking he was presented with handsome gavel, the gift of the Repnblican members. The presentation speech was made by Col.

Secretary Wells count was challenged by Mr. Cannon, author of the resolution, and a parlimnn-tartangle ensiled which was nnwonnd by a roll call, in which the vote resulted as follows: Ayes, y 46; noes, 52.

Yesterday in tbe Senate Mr. Dubois sought to strike out the appropriation for tbe Utah Commission anil to provide that the suppression of bigamy and polygamy shall hereafter be prosecuted under the laws of Utah. Mr. Dubois urged that tbe polygamous condition of Utah was a thing of tl e past, and that the local authorities might be trusted to administer tbe affairs of tbs state.
