Beginning of the Last Day.

When chairman Fickas began pound ing with his gavel upon the table Tn front of him, seventy-ive heavy-eyed delegates partially aroused from a lethargy superinduced by irregular hours. While Clerk Miller in his rich, resonant, federal voice was reading the roll half score more of delegates filed in, took their seats with look of re- signation. The galleries were already filled with a crowd of morbid tendencies who did not know that coroner's jury was in session at the court house, other wise they would have been at the other inquest. Under such gloomy circum- stances the last session of the Demo. cratic county convention began.
 Before resuming the disturbance oi the day before, E. Irvine who is of a financial turn of mind, reminded the convention that somebody had to pay the fiddler. There was hall rent, g janitor's fee, an ice bill, etc., and who pray, but the nominees should bear this expense?. It was accordingly agreed tc fine each candidate $250 upon his con viction of having resided in Texas anG having always been Democrat. o course a conviction of these offensei was equivalent to a nomination. Aftel this precaution against bankruptcy haC

And Carries the Rest Triumphantly Away.
Hardly a VeStige of the Old Order of Things Appears in the Ticket or the New
 Organization.

The Democratic county convention of Maricopa county exists only in the in- famed and exultant memory of dozen gentlemen and in the dejected memory of twice as many more.
 What appeared on Thursday to be prime qualifications for claims to pre- ferment at the hands of the late con- vention were yesterday demonstrated beyond a doubt to be so. They are the following and rank in importance in the order in which they are named A for mer residence in Texas, a decided bucolic tendency. and simple and una dorned Democracy. Of all foreign flow CTS transplanted on Arizona soil the Texas exotic fourishes most luxuri- antly.
 It sometimes happened that none of the candidates for some particular office were Texans. In such cases the prefer ence was given to him who had lived nearest Texas. Missourians were also treated kindly, not on account of the geographical relation of Missouri to Texas, but because there is no more highly esteemed brand of Democracy than the Missouri variety.
 The attack upon the city democracy was continued with violence and sue. cess. It is true that concession was made to Phoenix by allowing her four candidates, but they are men who are as distinct from the overbearing city de- mocracy as if they were registered in the precinct of Ashantee. Besides, fol three of these offices the country had no candidate and was only offered g choice between evils.
 The convention was successful ir having had an orderly and dignihed ex- istence. No opportunity was given tc quarrel and cut throats. Those cheer ful incidents will occur later in the sea- son.
 The Democratic county ticket will look like this:

been taken, the business of making a ticket was resumed.
 D. L. Murray was nominated for treasurer by exclamation. MT. Murray thanked the delegates for their expres- sion Of confidence. He took the oath of allegiance to the platform and de. posted $2.50.
 The next was an exciting incident and as usual the expected did not happen.
 The candidates were Frank Coyle, whose nomination had been almost con- ceded, J. c. c. H. Boone, R. B. Vinson of the country and T. H. Sapin of Mesa.
 Each of the candidates immolated himself on the platform and the ballot Ing proceeded.
 The following is the result by ballots
 First-Vinson, 3l; Coyle, Al; Boone, 5; Sabin, 15.
 Second - vinson, 35; Coyle, A; Sabin, 15.
 Third-Vinson, 46; Coyle, 45.
 Fourth-Vinson, 52; Coyle, 45.
 The deadly south side did it.
 The most tragic event of the day next ensued, the fight for district attorney.
 The candidates were B. J. Franklin, L. H. Chalmers and Joseph Campbell
 The result was ompassed by ar oratori:al effort by Col. Franklin. Whatever the delegates may have in tended to do, they didn't do it. They were swept of their feet and dashed along helpless in the flood of eloquence. So extraordinary was the effect pro- duced by it that the speech, the only | one perhaps that ever moved an aggre gation of Arizona Democrats, is her, produced in part

The Home Stretch,

Before the delegates had time to take their seats after lunch H. A. Tweed be- gan nominating B. F. Porter for asses- sor. The first half of his speech was lost in the noise.
 Sam Y. Barkley was also placed in the nomination. He mounted the stage, delivered biography of himself from which 1t appeared there were 8 good many Barkleys. The speaker had been born in Tennessee. and further bright ened his political horoscope by moving to Texas, whence by natural process of gravitation he reached Arizona. That settled it. He was nominated on the third of the three following ballots:
 First-Porter, 45; Barkley. 43.
 sSecond-Porter, A; Barkley. 45.
 Third-Porter, 40; Berkley, 53.
 There were three candidates for mem bers of the board of supervisors-W. l. George, Phoenix; E. A. Tovrea, Gila Bend, and Joseph Monihon, Phoenix precinct.
 Tovrea and George were nominated by the following vote: Tovrea. 69 George, 6l; Monihon, 50. Frank Trott was renominated fol county surveyor by exclamation.

will find that every measure for the re- lief of the people meets with Republi- can opposition. Is 1t not amusing to read in some of these Republican plat forms the assertion that its party is in favor of the coinage of silver? It is the arch enemy of that metal and the people cannot be hoodwinked by mere words.
 In closing, Col. Franklin delivered a high eulogium of Missouri and Mis- sourians, illustrating his points by many amusing and telling anecdotes, bringing down the house with shouts o1 laughter and thunders of applause at each recital. He promised, if nomi- hated and elected, to perform the duties of the office with fidelity and all the ability he possessed and pledged him. self to support the platform and resolu tions whether or not. It was clearly evident at the close that the speech had captured the convention, and his friends felt as he sstepped from the platform that his nomination was assured. It took only one ballot to settle it Franklin. 50; Chalmers, 26; Campbell IS.
 The colonel made brief speech 1T acceptance and the convention wal wild with delight. The contest for probate judge hac been regarded with interest and uncer tainty. There were three candidates T. c. Jordan, Frank Baxter, the Agus Caliente Agriculturalist, and c. O Austin, of the south side. The nominees were submitted to the stage ordeal ana the delegates were turned loose upoI them. Jordan was nominated on tn, fourth of the following list of ballots:
 First-Jordan, 30; Austin, 2S; Bax ter, 35.
 Second-Jordan, q; Austin, 21; Bax ter, 42.
 Third-Jordan, 42; Austin, 10; Bax ter, 42.

Men, Mothers and Boys.

Men like to buy at Goldberg Bros. because they always find an assortment of what they need whether it be pair of overalls or fine suit there is always an amply supply of the de- sired size to select from.
 Mothers prefer to trade at Goldberg Bros because they are always sure of being waited upon by polite attentive salesmen who under stand their business, know their stock and how to satisfy the mothers
 Boys say Goldberg Bros is their favorite because suits bought there wear well and look well, shoes fit and last, and their parents always leave the store in happy frame of mind pleased with price and quality.

It is agreed by all that the ticket is
 made up of gentlemen ot excellent character, but a majority of Democrats admit that with two or three exceptions they lack that magnetism or push or whatever it is that insures political suc- cess. So the Democracy is unsatistied with what It's repres esentatives have done.
