Frank .. Black, or Troy, mas been nominated for governor of New York.
 Watson and Sewall ought to hold 8 conference to try to find out which of them is being bancoed the worst.
 Missouri gold democrats have nominated full state ticket. This insures the state to the republican column.
 Deacon David Oldham. of Ukish. California, has been sentenced to eight years in the Penitentiary for robbing . stage June l5, 1895.
 Democrats don't seem to want Bryan to be officially notified of his populistic nomination, but pops take g different view of it, and will officially notify both him and Wat son. MT. Bryan's letter of accept ance of this nomination will be looked for with interest.
 Dr. Emmens, 8 noted chemist and metallurgist, says he has discovered a method of reducing silver bullion to gold bullion at loss of about twenty-five per cent of the metal. A demonstration of this would re- suit disastrously 10 MT. Bryan's campaign, as even the most radical free silverite would be converted to goldbugism with such 8 practical argument as this.
 A meeting of the state republican central committee of Utah was held at Salt Lake, on Saturday, to decide in regard to holding their state cen veution. It is stated that almost with one accord they report that, while the importance of the free silver is recognized, yet that the rank and file of the republicans are unwilling to break with their party iu the present crisis, and that con sequently the defections from the ranks on the financial question will not be numerous.
 A correspondent of the Courier, who signs himself "Jefersonisn Democrat" makes a lengthy plea for the endorsement of O'Neill by the democrats. "Jef" shows by his writing that his political principles depend entirely upon what he con siders the chance of success. While . few popocrats in this county are assiduously at work trying to get the democratic endorsement of O'Neilrs candidacy, the lattsr'S paper in Phenix, the Populist, is pouring hot shot into the demo crats.
 O'Neill and his friends are mak- ing every effort possible to secure control of the democratic conVeB- ton in order to get an endorsement frOm it of the formers candidacy for delegate to congress. Any thing to win" is MT. O'Neill's motto, and when be announced himself in favor ot Bryan at that ratification meeting, it was done in the hopes that Arizsna democracy would re- ciprocate by nocking to his support. They have not fallen over esch oth- CT yet though in Hooking to his ben ner and it remains to be seen wheth. CT they will. The threat is now openly made that if the democrats refuse to endorse O'Neill, that a populist ticket will be put in the field in this county.
 Phenix democrats held ratiGca- ton meeting recently. Mark Smith was invited to speak, but Mark was in Los Angeles, sad could not come. He wrote 6 letter, though, which was read, and which demonstrates very clearly that the POpulist 0andi- date for delegate to congress will not be permitted to get . corner on auti-plutocratic expressions during this cam paign. Mark has evidently been studying populistic literature, as he gets of several O'Neillisms in his letter with ss much gusto aud with ss much apparent sincerity as SAe "gineral" himself does.
 There seems to be quite . strong sentiment among both democrats and republicans iA this section for putting up a joint legislative ticket, composed of two men from esch party. The argument used is that, in this way, all contest would be avoided, and a ticket composed of the very strongest and best men m the community could be secured, and in this way better legislation can be had. It Is also argued that the interests of this section, as we'll as of the whole territory, arc of more importance than partisanshiP. While, as stated, this plan seems to meet with favor among taxpayers of both parties, who have no political ambitions to serve, it remains to be l Ieen whether it will be adopted by | he conventions.
