PHENIx, May 5, 1888.

The convention was called to order by P. J. Bolan of Graham county, chairman of the Demo cratic Territorial committee.
 Pima county started in on an aggressive plan, and with the help of the presiding officer, who was not only decidedly arbitrary, but manifestly unfair, succeeded in securing the temporary chairman ship.
 Pima triumph, however, proved short-lived, for the counties of Yavapai, Apache, Mohave, Co., chise, Yuma and Graham, becom ing disgusted with the unruly and ungentlemanly behavior of Pima county's delegation, led by a law yer who posed as Hughes chief striker, but who nevertheless proved a 'Hood-oo," formed a combination and very quickly took the control of matters out of the mugwumps' hands.
 After allowing the Tucsonites to whereas" and resolve" to their hearts content, according to their usual custom, the convention got down to business, and elected as delegates J. U. Herndon of Yava- pal and G. G. Berry of Cochise.
 As alternates 5 w. Pomeroy of Graham county and Frank J. Cox of Maricopa county were elected.
 Pinhead Hughes was completely showed under, upon which he pro ceeded to air his grievances, to the infinite disgust of the conven- tion and the audience.
 Resolutions were adopted strongly commenting President Cleveland's administration and instructing the delegates to sup port him for renomination; also demanding home rule for the ter ritory.
 At11 o'clock the convention ad- journed sine die. f

Women in Business.

In this age of extreme activity and wonderful development, it is noteworthy fact that many women have made their own way ID mercantile life, and successfully compete with men in many lines of business. Women, whether they labor in the household or in the store, are all liable to suffer from functional Arrangements and the cares of maternity. For all troubles known under the cate gory of female weaknesses" Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a tonic and tried specific. It re- lieves the greatest sufferers, and restores the patient to vigorous health and strength. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under positive quar- antee, from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be re- funded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper and faithfully carried out for many years.
 Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure consti- patton, biliousness, sick headache, bilious headache, and all derange- ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.

The Highway of Nations.

The broad Atlantic, is ever stormy thor oughfare. Yet blow the winds ever so fierce ly, and ride the waves ever so loftily, seamen must man the good ships, tourists will brave the passage, and commercial travellers and buyers must visit the centres of foreign trade and manufacture. That atrocious malady, seasichness, together with colicky pains and much inward uneasiness is often endured when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters would have fortified the voyagers against them. Sea captains, and in fact all old salts and veteran travellers are acquainted with the protective value of this estimable preventive and remedy, and are rarely un- provided with 1t. Emigrants to the far west should use it as a safeguard against malaria Seek the aid of the Bitters for dyspepsia, consumption, liver complaint, kidney troub- les, and all ailments that impair the har- powers.

Dr. Lacy had a narrow escape from a serious accident Monday afternoon while returning from a professional visit to the Metcalf, riding upon his railroad veloci- pede. He was going along at a good rate of speed, and as he was rounding a sharp curve about mile this side of the Queen he met Charley Pler's engine. As neither had time to stop, the doctor, when within about twenty feet of tue locomotive, took flying leap off his velocipede and landed in the bed of the creek, the car following him a moment later. Very fortu nately, beyond a few bruises to his foot and leg, which made it rather painful for him to walk, the doctor escaped iDjnry.
