Yayapai Republicans Meet Today in Double JOinted Session, in Which the Akers and StOddard Interests Come Clashing Together.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 The county republican convention was called to order the morning at 10 o'clock by Chairman Akers, of the Central Committee. The call for a territorial convention was read, after which tho central committee call for county representation went through the same course. After reading such, the chair appointed k. F.. Morrison as temporary chairman, and F. r. Kelly temporary secretary.
 This brought forth the heavy ar tillery of the Stoddard contingent, and for at least ten minutes, on both sides, psndemonium and hata- belelain tactics reigned furlous!y. Men with lung troubles screamed wearily, those who couldn't utter a word shook their fists distractedly, the rheumatics pranced like chip hunks, and the whole affair wound up like a Prescott Pheni1 foot ball contest-everyone falling over each other.
 Judge Sanford yelled loudly for the appointment of Sam Hill as temporary chairman, aud Chlrman Morrison, in his suave mapner, told tue convention that the meeting was organized. Major Watts threw some Indiana logic at the conven- tion, and Col. BrodIs got white in the face like he did when he com manded the Second Cavalry, and was about to charge on some Apa- ches. Boss" Head, of the Verde, threw some parliamentary grape and canister at the opposition. and John Ross and Geo. Me-win got a move on. J. D. Carter tried to electro cute' the followers of Aksrs, but the current never touched the vic tims.
 Chairman Morrison was all the time warning the convention that the regular meeting was in progress, but thIs only fed the furious flames, and made the fire burn more bril- liantly. Ike Stoddard became heated also like that furnace he used to run at Copper Mountain, and (. H. Akers wouldn't make an abstra | for love ur money. Other men on both sides shouted their boots off in an endeayor to be heard. The whole affair, in short, seemed as If Me Kinley, Morton, Reed. Allison aud all other good republicans had suddenly stampeded the convention by their presence. It was only a love spat, and the only commodity lacking 10 make 1t genuine and never to be forgotten smash up was a dray load of brick bats. A big dose of oil would have had no more effect on that body than a Cleve land bond issue.
 The trouble had its origin simply from the appointing of a credentIal committee, and when Chairman Morrison proceeded to perform that duty, there was naturally trouble iu the camp. But such was appointed, and headed by Major Watts, the committee retired for duty.
 Cooling itself down somewhat, the Stoddard faction placed Sam Hill in the chair as temporary chair man, and H. r. Hama as temporary secretary. The chair appointed credential committee number two, and the later proceeded to work. Mir Hill also tried to concilliate the opposing interests and have them cool down, but Mulveuon can't make ice thick or fast enough to do this, so the merry war went on.
 Organization number two finally took a recess until seven o'clock to- night, at which time they will fol- low out their line of battle.
 The first organization also fin ished its preliminary work and ad- journed until two o'clock, when they reported the following names as en- titled to seats in the territoriel con- vention at Phenix on the 18th.
 w. $. Head, R. c. Powers, R. F.. Sloan, Wales Arnold, J. s. Gales, k. E. Morrison, Frank P. Kelly. Grant Carter, J. E. Morrison, B. F. Mur- phy, E. B. Gage, Thos. Roach, Geo. w. Vickers, J. c. Martin, A. C. Gil more, C. H. Aksrs. F. k. Andrews. F. D. Myers, w. 5. Marks and T. " Johnson.
