 Col T A ZsoriskIe of Pima moved to Rdionrn but Hon. Clark Charchill re- quested the privelege of addressing The delegates on bis representation Of Aps- che county he being s resident of Mari cops. He hsd, he said, on request Of Capt. Hogue of Apache County consent ed to represent that county inssmuch as stated by Capt. Hogue, 1t was ine1- pedIeDt to send personal representatIve of Ihe county on account of the short tine alternating between their notification for the call of the convention and the time of holding same. At first he was indis- posed to do SO, but on consultation with Col. Christy, chairman of the Ter rItorisl Central Committee, had finally | consented to act. On his arrival heres | however, he met Mir. F M Zuck of Aps- | che county who informed him that he | was not only a delegate himself but also | held the remaining six proxies of the county. In explanation of this diverse action he stated that Apache county was large and means of communication dit- hcult, and ss the Republicans living | along the line of railroad had heard | nothing of the action of Capt. Hogue st St John, and fearful that the county | would be withodt representation they | held mass meetings and elected NIT. Zuck delegate and assigned to him proxies for the rest of the county. The two gentlemen had however come to 8 mutual understanding by which MT. | Churchill should represent the upper portion of the county with three proX- ies. while Mir. Zuck should on behalf of the lower section represent himself and the three remaining proxies.
 This compact on motion of Col Zabris klc, bcCODucQ Nho tIfied, the caucus holding that that DOT tion of the Territorial Gall relating tc proxies did not materially affect the case in hand.
