BRAGG NAMED.

BRAGG NAMED.
Connecticut yielded to Wisconsin. and
Mr.. Jones Of that State took the stand
to place General Bragg in nomination.
He spoke as follows:
Il do not quite quote the language Of
one. who in a Republican convention
became known to fame, when l ask
what we are here for, if not for our
principles? Although in former years
Wisconsin was classed as a Republican
State, in 1890 the Democracy was sue
cessful. and in 1892 Wisconsin again
cast a handsome majority for the State
and Electoral tickets. But about two
years ago the pendulum swung to Re-
publicanism again.
About sixty days ago. in convention
assembled, the Democracy of Wiscon-
sin sent delegation to the Chicago
convention, pledged to honest money
and the gold standard. To-day there
are gathered together in Milwaukee, in
another convention, our erring and mis-
guided brethren, who are singing their
hosannas to free silver, and who, con-
tent in their quick conversion, are al
ready anticipating the Spoils of vic
tory
There are others now Wavering and
uncertain whether they shall bow to, or
turn away from the false phrophets now
clothed in the livery of Democracy. The
sound money men of Wisconsin are
unanimous in the belief that the man
who can best rally those who now hesi-
tate as to their duty in Wisconsin, and
in this nation, is that matchless leader
whose name is a household word in
every home in Wisconsin-more than
that, whose deathless courage and de-
votion to this Government are a part of
the glory of our republic. AS / utter
these words there comes to the mind Of
every man in this audience the name Of
the dauntless commander Of the old

WATER STORAGE.
Capital Should be Interested in
 Its Prosecution.

The following are theviews Buckev of O'Neil on the water storage question, and is worthy of careful reading:
 First tsmong the projects upon which which Southern Arizona must rely for her future development comes the storage of water. No loyal citizenshould lose eight of this fact. With water storsge there are possibilities ahead that includs the tillage of many mill lions of acres of fertile desertlsnd m Arizona and it means an advance ment that would in ten years place our territory on the roll oi the great states of the union. Surely this is worth striving for.
 Few appreciate, to even Q slight de- gree, the importance of this water storage, Few are aware that nowhere el.s oB earth Lave there been provided such ~ondcIous natural facilities for the eaichment of water; and few ap- preciate the vast extent of land that might be titled in Arizens were the summer flow of streams are adequate to supply the immense streams of water tn at would be necessary for its irrigs- tion. Yet this irregularity of nature may be corrected and the summer How be made sufficient for uses of every acre that will be planted in this country.
 Capital should by all means be in- terested in this grand project and to its promotion every citizen should bend his best efforts.

IN JAIL.
One of the Suspected NOgales
 Bank Robbers Here.

Last evening Bob F.rress . well known cowboy was broush, over from Bisbee by deputy Sherifi and placed ip the county jail ou charge of being one of the suspected NosAles Bank robbers.
 The arrest was mentioned in the PKosPEcToR Bisoes corrsspondsnce yesterday. He was arrested by De- putty Sheriff Johnson ana Sheritl Lsathsrwood ot Pima cousty.. Forrest when confronted oppressed surprise and went willingly with the ohicers, claiming he could prove sa slsbi at the time Of the robbery. He was sen, over pending further developments and examination.
 A PaosPEcToR reporter called to m terview the prisoner but under the eircumstAnces it was deemed unviss to allow any ststement published whatever for the possibility of inter fering with the work and plans of the authorities until an opportuns time.
 It has developed that more than likely the robbers of the Sepir post office and grocery store at Sepsr, New Mexico and those who attempted the holdup ct Nogalss are one and the same gang. The band are known ts the officers being some six or eight cowboys who until recently were rid ing the ranges in the Sulphur Spring valley and ID one or two instances qui: good jobs and disappeared to- gether. Whether or not Forrest is guilty is unknown, but as he was with she party considerable of the time it is believed he knows something of the affair. After she robbsry ct Separ the party are known to have made sor this section and the supposition is they went on to Nogsl to hold up up the bank.
 poeoo iooOSAo Nogales to Loehi.l. and thence to to the m pun tsins about l5 miles below the line. A mesesgs received ct the Sherif's office last night, states the trail leading back across the line into Mexico had just been found and would be followed, thus making the capture of the band possible as dspu tres at all points have been notified and are on the look out.
 Forrest is . young man, and has . rsputstisn Of being . peaceful citizen, Although he is net believed to have participated in the affair, may be ss- qusinted with some facts, and therefore an important witress.
