THE UNFINISHED.
Stormy Meeting of the County
 Democratic Committee.
The Chairman Refuses to Furn-
 ish Papers Asked For.

| shaft The membere, from whom the EPITAPH obtained its information of the proceedings during the past two weeks, having refused to reveal any more, for fear of personal violence, an EPITAPH reporter concealed himself in the shaft, on the previous evening and stayed there for twenty-four hours-a piece of journal istic enterprise which it is hoped readers of the EpITAPH will duly appreciate.
 The first matter brought up was that of the confirmation, by the U. S. Senate, of Arizona Federal appointments. A member said he thought, as a leading Democratic body, they should place themselves on record before the country, on this question.
 Another member considered that they ought to go slow in this matter. The eyes of the country were upon them. By hasty and inconsiderate action, they might seriously embarrass the Executive at Washington.
 On motion, it was resolved that the Chair appoint committee of three, to draw up a resolution, on this question.
 The committee was duly appointed and adjourned, after borrowing half the can de, to win=c on the 2oo-foot level
 After ten minutes had elapsed, Inc committee returned and handed in a res olution, calling upon the Senate, at once, to confirm those territorial appointees, who are still on the anxious seat, and de- nouncing 'he Senate for confirming Sur veyor- General Hise and Secretary Bay. ard.
 A motion was made that this resolu- ton be teegraphed to Washington. The chairman would like to know where the money was to come from to pay for the telegram.
 No answer being forthcoming, to this poser, it was resolved to entrust the res olution to the mails, member liberally offering to furnish the stamp.
 l. A motion to censure President Cleve- land for hls delay in turning the Repub liCan rascals out, was then made.
 A member asked whether anything had vet been heard from the President, in regard to the postmasterships, for which five members os this committee were ap' plicants,
 The chairman said that no news hac been received, whereupon the motion was put and carried unanimously, the secre- tary being instructed to mail this Iesolu ton to Cleveland. | On the suggestion of a member in tho background, it was decided to mail it il the same envelope as the former reselu tion, in order to save postage.
 A letter was next read, from the man
 ager of the Organ, who said that h'
 found himself utterly unable to give t
 his political editorials the true Jefferso
 nian and Jacksonian ring, on his meagr
 allowance of eight ounces of brea and four ounces of beans per diem. H.
 had been forced, this week, to call in tn
 assistance of prominent Democrat, {
 write a column and half for him. A member said he had noticed Mex { can, selling ground Chill colorado, from
 sack, at a very reasonable rate. H
 thought they might allow the Organis for five cents worth of this condimen weekly. It was known to be an excel ent article to make hens lay and woul' . doubtless, render the brains of the Or
 ganist more fertile, in red hot Democra
 ic ideas.
 n A motion to this effect was put ar Il carried and the Secretary was mstructe e to hunt up the Mexican, with the Chi }. Colorado.
 n A member then arose and moved tn
 that the Chairman be requested 70 fu ,. nish the Committee the papers, in r n gard to the expenditure ofamounts rais' o; for liquid refreshments. d The Chai man, in very pompos :" i'd determined manner. refused to iurni IT, such papers, The Sen-ahem; the co at mittee, he. should say, had no right
 demand those papers. A public otti was public trust. He pointed, W ne pride, to the inocuous desuetude of n, county Democracy. He was determ o' ed to hand his office ov 'iy impaired and uncurtailed, into iy hands of his successor.
 o Several members here jumped up once. One of them, on obtaining 2. hearing, moved, that the committee
 fuse to confirm the chairman's sppo
 ment of the man who held the rope, her the committee to climb out of the sh ,m- A gruff voice from the darkness f bv growled: "Confrm be d-d! l nav Mr seen a nickel yet, for the work I've d'
