Arizona republican., 1896-06-09


 Democratic committee.
 The delegates found themselves in hall that had been fitted for them in an elaborate measure. The National colors draped the auditorium, while festoons and flowers were heaped upon the rostrum.
 Back of the platform were two litho- graphic portraits of "Silver Dick' Bland and distinctively silver feel ing pervaded the assemblage. And there wasn't a single picture of Cleve- land in the house. The house was we'll filled, on the floor and both galleries.
 Chairman Fickas read the call and then Murat Masterson nominated Sam Purdy for temporary chairman, band outside furnishing the greater volume of applause. His speech was short and well timed, only bringing out the silver sentiment of the convention. Joe Alexander, for temporary secre- tary, named John J. Birdno of Gra- ham, and he was chosen.

 In the report Navajo was given an extra vote, making the total conven- tion strength ninety-six.
 Then came the first disagreement of the day. Ling moved that the con- vention proceed to permanent organi- zation. Alexander, with Bullard as second, amended to make permanent organization through committee of one member from each delegation There was something concealed in the original motion that seemed directed against the great county of Maricopa After heightened debate the vote was taken and resulted as follows:
