"Second-For permanent secretary,
Charles F. Hoff.
''Third-That the rules governing

erning deliberation mblies as con-
trolled by Cushing's Manual.
"Fourth-That the order of business

measures and adopting such methods as
may aid the admission of the territory
into the Union of States"
Both committees were on motion of
Allen T. BIRD relieved from further
duties and discharged.
On motion the chairman appointed
Jerry Millay, Fred G. Hughes and 7.
E. Parish as a committee to escort
Judge G. w. Wright, the permanent
presiding officer to the chair, after
which he made neat speech, stating,
among many other things, that the
convention had met for a single pur-
pose and with a view OF booming moth
ing but Arizona. That they had met,
not as Democrats or Republicans, but
as Democrats and Republicans regard
less of politics, with a view to ascer-
tanning what is necessary to obtain adj
mission, and should remain until such
secret is found out. He spoke at length
on the un bounded resources, and COM
pared Arizona with the various states
and territories of the inter mountain
region, all of which he had personally
visited, and much of the country he
traversed on horseback, but none, even
Colorado, could show the abundant
natural wealth or compared with it in
climate. In speaking of his anxiety
to don the periphernalia of manhood,
he stated there was something higher
to be obtained than the official fees that
would be distri buted and although he
was Repu blican he was still in favor
OF statehood even though the new gov
eminent be organized and every office
from constable to governor be filled by
Democrats. II now await the pleasure
of the convention"
