A man that can make such a I race in a convention with two oppon- 'V cuts ought to make a great race ' against one man when It comes to election, and that Joe Howell can and ! will make such a race Is evidenced by his former election to the State Leg- " Islaturc from this Democratic strong- liold. i! Just how the trick was tinned Is a j matter of private politics, but of Ioursc it was largely through the efforts ef-forts of the valiant meh from Cache, together with able assistance from the outlying districts. The Cacnc men having gone down to Ogdcn on the 3:30 train were probably the first workers on the ground and promptly proceeded to fortify their position. They marched to headquarters that had been prepared for them and there proceeded to an organization. After tills they marched to the station and met the delegates that were early in arriving. Thcso were taken in tow, banqueted, wined and dined, and the wiloy Cache countlans kept them in sight by taking them to the theater in a body and then slept with them. In spite of it all things didn't look very bright when morning dawned, L but when different delegations arrived later in the day and tho real swapping and working of political schemes commenced com-menced in earnest, the Caeho county man's stock when up a few dollars on Iho sharo and the local delegation was jubilant. Everyone in tho aggregation aggrega-tion took of! his coat, so to speak and aded into tho light for blood, and they got i"i. They schemed In tho dark and fought in tho open and as a result few of the delegates knew what Cache had up Its sleeve. 1 1 Is certain cer-tain that tho Salt Lake crowd before tho balloting commenced fondly believed be-lieved that their ilro chief was tho whole thing and would undoubtedly bo nominated1 That Salt Lake can sometimes bo mistaken and slipped up on occasionally bv backwoodsmen from far off counties was evidenced cry .shortly after roll call began. After tho flght for Supreme Judgi and tho adoption of resolutloas, Mr. Howell , was placed in nomination by Geo. M. 1 ' Cannon of Salt Lake, followed by Dr. ' Phillips of Wellsvlllo in a seconding . ' speech as follows: ft W L Ladies and Gentlemen of the Con-entlon: Con-entlon: On behalf of Cache County, I rise to second the nomination of her most distinguished citizen the Hon. Joseph Howell. It Is customary on such oc-casslons oc-casslons as this for delegates to exhaust ex-haust the lexicon with which to extol the candidate ofthclr choice and tickle the carsiof an audience. But Mr. Howell needs no such clemosynary aids. 1 take it to be a political truth that in a Republican convention no candidate must be nominated unless he can respond in every particular to two essential tests. First: Is he fit and capable for the oftlec? Second; Has he tho ability to get there? Nothing would be more distasteful either to Mr. Howell personally nor to the Cache delegation that to utter one word derogatory to any of the other candidates, whose legitimate ambition justly entitles them to aspire as-pire to the high oftlce of representative representa-tive of the sovereign State of Utah in the fifty-eighth congress. Nevertheless Neverthe-less we are constrained to urge that our candidate tills the measure of competency to the very greatest extent. ex-tent. He Is a man of the most blameless blame-less life; his family associations are of the most perfect and admirable description; de-scription; he " most successful busi ness man; he has been tried by his city and county on many occasions and has never been found wanting. I could enumerate many other admirable ad-mirable traits of the Cache candidate, but these are more than Is sulllcicnt to demonstrate his aptitude. And when 1 add that he Is possessed of great tact and an energy that is of the most strenuous nature, I hac said all that need bo said on this score. As to his ability to get there I need only recall to jour recollection that prior to four years ngothe rock-ribbed, or rather, hide-bound Democracy of Cache had been accustomed to loll up majoiltles of oer 1000 for their ticket. Hut in 1808 when Mr. Howell for the tlrst and only time headed the ticket for the Republican paity, the Democratic Demo-cratic majority was transformed Into a Republican one by 400 votes. When Hannibal, after that remarkable Ethiopian Eth-iopian campaign. sent tho liistoiie message to tho Roman Senate" De-lcndaest De-lcndaest Caithage"hc handed down through the ages a message that was only possiblo through tho most virile energy. If jou conclude, as I have no doubt you will, to nominate Mr. Joseph Jos-eph Howell for Congress, the message will flash over the nation that, not the Democracy of Cache alone, but of the entire State of Utah, has been, like Carthage, destroyed. And destroyed de-stroyed so effectively that the combined com-bined ingenuity of Orlando W. Powers, Pow-ers, Qull Nebeker, Wm. II. King and Joseph L. Rawlins will bo unable to gather up the scattered fragments that remain." Following this speech came the presentation of Devino and Harrington. Harring-ton. Then tho fun commences. After the usual amount of wrangling, Heaver Heav-er county cast eight votes for Howell, and the excitement became intense. The otlng was then rapid and everything every-thing indicated the stampede that is lecorded in tho summary below: KOlt HOVVKLT,.
