Save that memorable precursor Of
Republican success at the late munich
pal election, that famous mass meeting
which the Democrats of Phoenix will
ever sorrowfully remember, no such
body ever assent bled in the city as the
Republican. mass meeting of last night.
The assemblage was one of represen-
tative Republicans and there were
enough of them to ill the great hall in
which it was held.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Woodward of the county GEN.
tral committee. After the reading Of
the call and statement of the object Of
the meeting, Col. VIM. Christy nomi
mated Judge Webster Street as chair
man. Having taken the chair Judge
Street addressed the meeting. calling
attention that its object WAS to trans
act business and not to create en-
thusiasm.' That would come later in
its proper time. The business now on
hand was to select ticket of twenty
six persons, to be voted for at thu pri-
maries today as delegates to the county
convention. 1t was desirable that these
delegates should be honest men who
would honestly transact the party's
business in the convention.
The chairman called attention to the
rumors of division in the Republican
party of the county. There was no
damaging division, he said there were
differences of opinion as to the method
of conducting business, but there was
none as to the object to be attained,
the selection OF the best Republicans
for nominees at the convention and
their election at the polls. Whatever
factions existed, existed only in imagi-
nation.
Lloyd B. Christy having been chosen
secretary, Chairman Street announced
the business of the convention to be
the choice of twenty-six candidates for
delegates.
Judge Early moved that the manner
of the selection be as follows: Each
Republican voter to prepare ballot
containing the names of twenty-six
electors and deposit it in box arranged
in the presence OF the assembly. Capt.
Calderwood seconded the motion and it
was passed unanimously.
F. A Hartwell and Judge Woodward
were appointed tellers and Maj. R. Allyn
Lewis aud Judge Early clerks and the
balloting proceeded.
The election of the following ticket
resulted: W. H. Stilwell. G. B. Rich
mond, Fred Heinlein, G. Ceschetti, J.
W. Bolton, R. J. Handbook, Julio
Marion, Webster Street, L. P. Nash q,
J.B. Woodward, A. J. Porterie, Henry
E. Kemp, VIM. Christy, VIM. Scott,
F. J. O'Brien. Robert M. Hudson,
Lloyd Christy. J. B. Early, NJ. H. Cal
derwood, Thos. Molloy, Sam Seip, Geo.
Hoadley, w. S. Schaller, L. ]. Wood,
F. A. Hartwell, J. P. McWilliams.
The members of the ticket were elected
by nearly the same vote. There were
few scattering votes.
The.business of the meeting having
been concluded it adjourned. The
chief features OF the meeting were the
excellent attendance. more than 400
in warm sympathy with the object OF
the meeting, remarkable unanimity of
opinion and the enthusiasm which
characterized the proceedings. If any
doubt existed concerning Republican
success this fall it was dispelled before
the meeting adjourned.
Mention is also deserved of the ad-
