 this county the caucus nominee
 of the party, but through the op-
 position of mining man named
 Daly, eleven democrats bolted the

 A Washington telegram of Feb

 manner in which he presided over
 the deliberations of the upper cham
 Der of Congress for the past four
 years. Senator Manderson presided
 and after addresses by Senators
 Hale, Cockrell, Villas and others, the
 Viee-President responded.
 The Phenix Republican in its op-
 position to the woman suffrage bill
 says; {" It is passing strange that not
 a single memorial or petition has
 beed presented to the legislature
 asking for woman suffrage. Usually the people petition for the things they want" Thelatter sentence will be news to most people,ss they have not heretofore bean aware that they were compelled to petition for sucn legislation as they desired.

 Our contemporary says that the report of that committee sent to 7isit the Yuma prison is awaited with interest," We have not noticed my special excitement yet in antiei- 'ation of that report. The manage nent of the territorial prison, since ts last inspection by a legislStivc has not been of such a lature as to crefte any scandal, and IS far as heard from, there has been 10 emigration of prison officials with money belonging to the terri ory, as was the case during the administration of it. The report of that committee, shen received, will, we opine, not ot contain anything of sensa onal character. II

On an other page We fad ie following bold break away om democracy, freedom and other partisan fetters: Time is ripe for new ' 'claration of independence on the Irt of the western people, ire 'ective of party affiliations, to " cure needed legislation in con . ess to protect their interests and | cure recognition of the claims of ' e great wealth-producing section U at is so much neglected" U 4 petition is being circulated ask a g for the appointment of J.
