THE MOHAVE NOMINEES.

EDITOR 8iINER:-The Democratic county l result has been somewhat of surprise to all except those who helped make up the slate. The Democracy were SD anxious to ! receive the railroad vote in the coming cleo tion that they allowed each camp to send a delegate to the convention, and the result was that the railroad men, including Hack berry. captured the convention and ran it to suit themselves. Warren E. Day and Daniel Carlin, the Blackberry delegates, with the assistance of Richardson and Elliott, of Beal Springs, represented with the proxies they he'd II votes.
 Warren E. Day, the boss of the conyen- tiou, is probably well known to your readers if he isn't he ought to be. Daniel Carlin, his chief henchman, IS stranger who cane down from Nevada, sick and busted" He staid around Mineral Park some three or four months, and tried to getintothe county hospital, but was not considered by the Board of Supervisors fit subject for county aid He then went to Blackberry about two months aga, and now comes to the front in d new role That these two men should have been allowed to represent and run the Democratic party in this county is disgrace to the party.
 The county ticket contains two good names, viz John P krider. nominee for recorder, and John Hughes, nominee for treasurer; but that they should have allowed their names to go before such convention is matter of surprise and regret to their friends i'll both parties.
 H. E. Cox, the nominee for sheriff, is strangers blacksmith working for Con- tractor Shenfeld, and appointed deputy sheriff by Sheriff Potts. He gained his notoriety by shooting two men who resisted ar.esj.
 W Ii. Cureton, the nominee for district attorney, was admitted to the bar at the last term of court here. He made a speech be- fore tie conventi1n in which he acknowl | edged iliat ne vas not capable of filling the | position al present but would study up and qualify himself before the election. The | gentleman will doubtless have plenty of time for study neio:e he is elected
 Anson Smith, nominee for Probate Judge, | IS foreman of the Alta. He knows as much 1 abo1t law as hog does about Euclid; but ! he, Ike the editor, intends to study up, | perhays. lie hss plentiful supply of brass, but stands 10 possible chance of being elected.
 Of the nominees for Supervisors, l.. c. Melbourne Is an old settler here, but lacks backbone, and ha4 outliTed his usefulness. The other two are both good men, but un- fitted fer the position.
 Caldwell Wright, If. .Bucksbaum and other old-time Democrats repudiate this altogether and refuse to be bound by it and to vote for any names on the ticket. bay as they issued the call for the Convection. II is Lard to see what they are going to Go about it. Of course the Republicans are jubilant over the prospect of this split in tie Democratic ranks.
 In this connection 1t may be as well to state that the candidates for Sheriff, Pro bate Judge aad the two nominees for the Lerislature are not tax payers of the county, have L2 ass,ss4olc property, have never paid poI-tax, and neither of their names $ on the great register of Mohave county.
 These few remarks arc respectfully dedi- .ated To the consideration of the Democ- racy of Arizona Territory.
