k totals to the secretary whoafter allwere unnounced ievReason
It was explained that this procedurehad been rendered necessary in order-to prevent any county from hangingback and waiting until other delegations had fulfilled their promises beforecasting a ballot The new rule however did not prevent the astute GeorgeM Cannon who headed the Salt Lakeoutsidethecity delegation from doing

this very thing In every Instance thisvote was held back until it was knownjust how many votes had been cast forother candidates and so the countrydelegates decided the nominations rightstraight through
There were many humorous features
Morris L Ritchie For District Judgabout the meeting not the least of thembeing the eulogistic speeches deliveredon behalf of the various candidatesThe humor of most of these speecheslay in their seriousness The hot airwhich was permitted to escape on theseoccasions made the temperature on theoutside seem frigid by comparisonAnother amusing feature was the expression by Secretary Axton of the YM C A of his suspicion that some ofthe lawyers who had made nominatingspeeches had received retainers fortheir services
Details of the MeetingBut here is the story seriatim
Chairman Moyer called the congregation to order in the civil courtroom at the joint building at 215 AfterSecretary Westervelt had read the callMr Moyer announced the selection ofD N Straup for temporary chairmanThe announcement was received with afair show of enthusiasm and MrStraup was encouraged to make aspeech
One of the most telling points hemade in favor of Republican doctrine-was his statement that it was as emi-nently proper for the Republicans tomeet in the civil court room as it hadbeen for the Democrats to meet in thecriminal court room for the purpose ofselecting judicial candidates At theconclusion of Mr Straups remarksWilliam S Marks of Tooele countywas escorted to his place as temporarysecretary-
On motion of George M Cannon committees on resolutions credentials andpermanent organization were appoint-ed a recess of five minutes being taken-in which to allow the delegations tochoose their timber The committees-were announced as follows and a recessof thirty minutes ordered to give themtime to formulate reports

Imi
Abe Majors will be shot on FridayAug 17 for the murder of Captain
A Brown on the 30th of April1833 n the mountains of Box Eldercounty
The last hope of the prisoner and hisfriends was snuffed out yesterday after-noon when the board of pardons
its refusal to interfere withthe course of justice and commute thesentence to imprisonment for life
The friends of the prisoner did notlet the curtain fall without making agrand rally to save his life with theboard of pardons The final effort included several affidavits from BrighamCity a pathetic appeal from thestricken mother another equally pathetic apoeal from the lifelong friend-of the mother a friend who came fromher far eastern home to help it included a strong plea from Thomas Fitchthe attorney and strongest of all itincluded an adroit plea from the pris-oner himself
The faces of Governor Wells JudgesBartch and Baskin and Attorney General Bishop were a study as they listened to these pleas but they gave noevidence of what the decision would beIn the court room sat the poor motherbroken in health and spirit her littleboy Ralph her friend Miss Lulu Johnson and the two loyal women of thiscity who had espoused her cause
The board convened at 10 oclock andat once took up the consideration ofthe Majors case and Clerk Stevens proceeded to read the papers submitted
Affidavits SubmittedThere was an affidavit from B H
Jones to the effect that he considered-the testimony that might have been
bv George G Wells as to thekilling of Brown immaterial and thathe was not put on the stand for thatreason that Wells had made his statement at the coroners inquest and thatit was considered that there was nothing in it
There was an affidavit from WilliamFosgren denying that he had made thestatement attributed to him by PhilipsBorden and others Another communication from Henry A Melborn assistant prosecuting attorney of OaklandCal giving the bad record of Majors asa burglar at that place was read
There were numerous affidavits infavor of the prisoner from persons liv-ing in Brigham City airlhTen0fiig toshow that Majors did not get a fairtrial These affidavits had been gathered by the two Christian Sciencewomen who as they aver in the causeof humanity have done all in theirpower to save Majors They made aspecial trip to Brigham City to securethe affidavits
One of these was from James Borden

Another was from Beulah Bordenwife of James Borden substantiatingthe statement made by her husband
Prejudice Against ajorsAnother was from Ricy H Jones one
of the attorneys who defended Majorsat his trial substantiating the affidavitof Vern Philips and going to show thatFosgren did make the statements credited to him showing strong prejudiceagainst Majors

Another was an additional affidavitfrom Vern Philios to the effect that heunderstood Fosgrens statements tomean that Majors must die
