WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

WORK OF THE CONVENTION.
 THE Republican County Convention tion which met here yesterday is par ticulsrly notable on account of the gen. ersl good feeling which prevailed throughout and the amount of good work done in 8 manner so well beeom- ing of it. From the moment the oonven tion WAS announced ss ready for busi- ness till the hammer fell for its final sd iournment, good order and harmony on- fly prevailed. And the work done, the candidates put forward, the platform sdopted and the resolutions carried, were such ss to win admiration from political enemies as well as friends. Some of the best timber in the party WAS chosen ss its representatives in the coming campaign and it is safe to say that there is not one among them that will not scquit himself as becomes a good citizen and member of the great est political power on earth.
 To begin with the beginning, we have Hon. Douglass Snyder, for Sheriff. To ssy the least he is one of the best known men in the county, one of the most up right and one of the most respected. On & former occasion when, as delegate to the Legislature, he boiled the hesvi- est vote of any man on either ticket in she county, and since then he has lost none of big old time popu- lsrity. As 8 merchant he mas taken a hand in building up almost every town in the county, and in no one place has man had aught of ill to say against him. The CITIZEN ventures the prediction that Douglas Snyder will be the next sheriff of Pima county.
 For assessor and tax collector Hon. Nj, s. Snyder is the coming man. Honest and upright in all his transactions psinstsking and obliging with all hay ing business in the supervisors office Of which he is the efficient clerk, he made many friends and populRrized himself generally. Jack" is hard man to beat and will get there all the same.
 Ben. Heney for treasurer is the next man and although third ID the line of Nomi- nations will be one of the first on the home stretch when the sun goes down on the 9th of November next. For the past four years he has as deputy, eIer- cised all the functions of treasurer without the honors or emolument per tsining to the office falling to his share But this year the people recognizing his valuable services will make him tres- surer by a majority that will make the head of his opponent swim.
 "A. Judd as 6 candidate for the of- Ace of County Recorder will sweep the board, His long business connections ID this city were of such nature as tc make him many valuable friends who recognize in his quite and methodics manner the man that will make a Popu lar and efficient recorder. His electior is 6 toregone conclusion.
 AsDistrict Attorney Mir. H. R. Jef' lords has filled the bill to nicety and will beyond doubt be almost unsnimoui ly chosen over his competitor Mir. Jet lords IS eloquent and popular, good lawyer and an upright citizen. and will be District Attorney for the ensuing two years.
 For Supervisors we have Col. Id, l. Lacy. a gentleman tried and true, snt Mir. Geo. Atkinson of Oslabssss, vel known sIockmsn of Southern Pima Mir. Lacy's nomination goes to him un sought but the convention recognized in him one of the most valuable ofhceri Pima County ever had and again cham pions him for the race. He will win, a he did before, with big, handsome ma jority. MT. Atkinson although untrieS possesses much executive ability and is through long residence and business ss sociations, thoroughly identified wIti the interests of the county. His nomi nation meant his election.
 Tomorrow the CITIZEN will call fur ther attention to the good work done b the Convention.
