was accomplished without jar. The The meeting was called to order by Chairman Early of the central commit tee and who read the call and on the motion of F. H. Lyman, Pierce Evans was unanimously elected chairman. MT. Lyman was made secretary.
 Judge Early moved that nominations be made from the floor of the house and the choice of candidates immediately began.
 In a brief but strong speech recount ing the merits of his candidate Dr. L. H. Goodrich placed J. D. Monihon in nomination for mayor. The choice was made with loud and enthusiastic accla- nation and the next mayor was called to the front to become the subject of an ovation. He thanked the Republicans of Phoenix for an honor which had come to him unsought but which was none the less appreciated. He pledged him. self to the heartiest support of the ticket and to the heartiest performance of h1s duties in the event of his election.
 The order of business laid down in the call was slightly changed, and the mo- imitation of councilmen was taken up.
 The name of K. Allyn Lewis of the second ward was presented by Judge Early, and when the applause with which he was received had died away, the choice WAS made by exclamation.
 E. A. Hartwell nominated Frank Moss from the fourth ward, and the same loud unanimlty prevailed Messrs. Lewis and Moss responded briefly and appropriately, and the con. vention entered upon the only business in which there seemed to be diversity of opinion, the nomination of can didate for assessor and tax collector.
 L.J. Wood was placed in nomination by Judge Early. Judge Israel pre-. sented the name of J. L. Cant, and James McClintock introduced R. F Kirkland. Here also arose variety o views as to how the choice should bt made. Judge Early suggested vivi voce vote, and afterward a divis ion of the house, but objection wal made that the crowd was so dense tha the plan was impracticable. discus sion followed, but the house was over whelmingly in favor of ballot, and { motion directing this method prevailed and Judge Israel and Judge Early wer' appointed tellers.
 Another division arose as to what should constitute nomination. 4 majority of the house favored plural ity urging that the expression of opin ion in this case was so general that i would be safe to depart from the usua majority method. Objection was mad' only that such procedure would bea 8 resem blance to the manner in whict a Democratic candidate for mayor wa nominated lastSaturday night and whicl was contributory to the disaster abou to overtake the party on May l. 1 was pointed out in that case that ther' had only been two candidates and tha there had been no popular choice. plurality motion was carried and tn, ballot was taken with the following re sult Wood, 87; Cant, 35; Kirkland Al {; scattering, 1.

that the elections ia jackson Ward were

and shutting out hundreds OF voters when

In view OF the fact that all the ma
