cratic County Central Committee, the Delegates elected by the people at the primaries, on August IT, assem- bled in the Courtroom, Prescott, on Saturday, August 31, organized, and proceeded with the business before them. Twenty-two delegates attend ed in person, and total of twenty seven votes were represented.
 Having, on that day, just crawled from under spell of sickness, we did not go forth to see, hear or be told of, the workings of the convention; yet, it has come to our knowledge that the session of Saturday was exceeding in harmonius, owing, we learn, to the desire of some members to force the nomination of objectionable men.
 Most of the trouble, we are told, grew out of the question of who should be nominated for County Treasurer. The friends of MT. Foster and those of MT. Tompkins-the two opposing candidates - were each in numerical strength, so fixed that the voting was a sort of looked-horn " arrangement, from which dilemma the casting of several ballots failed to free the Convention, as all who were in favor of Foster hung to him, and all those who prayed by Tomp- kins chung to him. Then, there were those who would not, under any cir cumstance, vote for either of these candidates, and who finally found plain trail by which the Convention Hanked this, its greatest difficulty, took hold of the business in hand and completed it in short order.
 Owing to the squabble, Saturday, the Convention adjourned from that day to Monday, September ?, upon which day it finished all that it cared to do and adjourned, sine die.
 The ticket placed in nomination is as follows:
 For the Legislative Council-John G. Campbell, of Prescott.
 For Representatives-Wm. Cole, of Bradshaw; Thos. Stonehouse, of Will liamson Valley; Thos. w. Brooks, Del Pasco Mill; c. HI. Veil, of Pres colt, and M. Peralta, of Wickenburg.
 For Treasurer-John H. Marion, of Prescott. For SheriG-James $. Thomas, of Woolsey Valley.
 For District Attorney-H. H. Cart ter, IT,, of Prescott.
 For Public Administrations G. Roddick, of Kirkland Valley. For Experimentation Cornell, Edward Kerr and Gideon Brooke, of Prescott.
 Taking everything into considera- ton, we must say that the Conven- ton has made pretty fair selections. It might, perhaps. have done better. A majority of its members wished to do so, if possible, but were prevented from so doing.
 They came here impressed with the belief that the sinking, for the time being. of strict party issues, would please the people and benefit the county and Territory. To this end they were prepared to ignore the fact that the Democratic party was in the ascendency here; were anxious to prove their love of fairness by nomi- hating or recommending for office Re- publicans of honor, ability, standing and influence in the community. But the action of the Central Committee of the Peoples party, Ian account ot which we published last week. dis pleased a good many Republicans and gave rise to feeling of disgust for the old Peoples party, and desire to reorganize and set up the Republican party, all of which, combined, pre- vented such Republicans as would have been accepta ble to the Democrats from accepting positions on the ticket. Had it not been for this, Captain J.. P. Hargrave would have been nomi- mated for the Council; other Re publicans would have been nominated for the House, and Dr. Geo. D. Ken dall or A. l.. Moeller would have been requested to accept Supervi- sorship. There was, of course. no in- tention of nominating any Democrat for the Recordership, nearly all being we'll satisfied with the present h. dependent incumbent-Ed. W. Wells.
 As matters now stand there is a vacancy in the council portion of the ticket for one Councilman. and 1t Is
