larger until 9 o'clock it took possession of the whole street.

refused to agree to anything. and when the clock struck ten the whole l thing was in plastic state. In the | mean time few persons had gathered 1 in the opera house, waiting with i'm patience for the hour of convention. When it came the convention had not 1 come. The candidates and most of the | delegates were still in the unadiourned street session.
 At last Captain Mcdonald went down stairs and told them to come in.
 What became of the crowd will ever remain mystery. The delegates occu pied the floor of the house and about fifty persons took seats in the gallery. This contingent was composed largely of boys and Repu blicans. There was no music; for the first time in Ari zona a convention was precipitated without the aid of brass band. The meeting was as short on initial enthusiasm as music.
 A faint cheer greeted J. L. B. Alexan- der as he climbed upon the stage to call the convention to order He made short speech, in which he congratu- lated the body on it's extreme respec- liability, but respectab bility alone would not win. This was going to be frosty year and the only hope of Maricopa county Democracy lay in an absence of mistakes. He counseled caution, fore thought and harmony.
 At the close of his observations two or three gentlemen simultaneously nom mated B. A. Fickas for temporary chair man, and he WAS unanimously chosen.
 On taking the chair MT. Fickas made brief speech, in which he believed that the only trouble with the Democ- racy of the county this year was that it had to many good men aspiring to po- sitions of trust and emolument. The supera bundance of excellent material was apt to confuse and embarass. A prayer went up from the crowd that at least one bad man would show up to break the angelic monotony so patheti- cally described by the speaker. Curt ". Miller, editor, postmaster and sole representative of the federal brigade. was elected temporary chairman. The first tllt, though not a very sig nihcant one, occurred at the outset. J. E. Boyd's motion for committee of o1c Tod T. E. Parish who wanted the duties of the committee on permanent org aniza- tion merged with those of the commit tee on credentials. The amendment was defeated.
 The committee on credentials was made up of the folio wing gentlemen. j.. E. Boyd, E. J. Bennitt, E. A. Tovrea, T. N. Clanton, H. R. Wills, L. L. Har- mon and B. F. Porter. A recess of half an hour was taken during which the committee were in session. The representation was fixed ! without great deal of discussion. The only question of an unusual character WAS that of an application by self-ap- pointed delegate from Broadway pre- cinct. It appeared that this precinct was not included in the call and that no primary election had been held. The application was rejected. | The committee reported the following roster of delegates: Agua Caliente-H. R. Wills, Will DeSpaln.
