"Leaves have their time to fall," and so do judicial candidates in a Republican convention, leaving naught but sour and decayed fruit, and even that will fall in November. LIVE WHILE YOU MAY! Judge O. W. Powers, the prince of parliamentarians, presided at the Ogden convention with supreme satisfaction to all. His address to the convention was a gem of sub lime oratory, worthy of being pre served as an example of American eloquence equal to the'most brilliant men of the age. Col. Geo. P. Norris, a member of the bar of Philadelphia, Pa., and Washington, D. C, was yesterday admitted to practice in the Supreme Court in this Territory on motion of Judge C. W. Bennett. Col. Norris, after several months in spection has decided to locate in the city o Zion, but it is not his intention to engage in the practice of his profession at the present time, as he is engaged in 'mining and other operations. It k said that Col. Norris is re presenting Eastern and California capitalists in this section. The colored Republicans of this city, after digesting the remarks of the Broad Ax, have concluded we were about right, and they are de manding representation on the Re publican ticket. There are several chances yet, as the city ticket is yet to be formed. Will the party of promises redeem themselves? We predict not; but we will wait and see. We guess it will be now, as it always has been: the negro must stand aside, all they are fit for is to vote and work for the G. O. P. How do you like it? The Broad Ax is growing in favor every day. All classes are giving us encouragement and sup port. We now feel safe in saying there is between seventy-five and one hundred colored voters in this city who will stand by us, and assert their manhood by voting the Democratic ticket this fall. A few more resolutions of censure, and threats of "running us out" and of "lynching" us, and we will double the number by November 5. -The colored people are open to reason, and that is the reason they like the Broad Ax, which deals in reason and not rant. Col. Bruce Johnson in the Repub lican Judicial Convention, in ap proving of the nomination of Grant H. Smith on behalf of the colored voters, took occasion to say: "We asked for representation on the Re publican ticket, but was refused." From his remark and temper, we would judge the sting of defeat has not yet healed. We would kindly suggest to the brother, that he must get used to it, as it will always be thus in the G O. P. Even Grant H. Smith was downed. We call the attention of our many readers to the immense stock of staple and fancy groceries, mel lons, fruits, and vegetables, which they can obtain at the C. B.
