Col. q. A. Olds prints in his papers
that Holton and Reed made Pritchard
a proposition that if he would agree TO
an equal division of the delegation TO
the Republican National convention
between Mckinley and Reed, they
would surrender the fight. Pritehard
wanted it all and declined.

4 VIEW FROM THE INSIDE.

ave are indebted to Mr.. Geo. A. Hill,
! 4ormer North Caro1inian, now resid-
fnre IN Zacatecas, Mexico, for a copy of
the Mexican Herald az March 18th It
Il aaarge eight page paper, printed in
English in the city Of Mexico, and is
abreast OF the dailies in our cities.
Though the city of Mexico has 100000
peoUle. that such daily as this print
ed in English can be maintained, shows
how large and important is the Eng
fish speaking element in Mexico to
support such frst-alass daily.
Another daily, also Of higk grade, the
'STwo Beplblics,' is also Published in
that city, and there may be others.
Besides the daily papers printed in
Spanish are numerous, able and well
patronized.
An examination of the columns Of
the Mexican herald shows that new
railroads are being built, new factor
les and new enterprises are under way,
and there is every indication OF a
country rapidly advancing and very
prosperous. AS a curiosity we notice
that the 100000 race track, at Indin-
nilla, near the city, the races come off
at night by electric light. Among the
advertisements is the following:

the country or in isolated places as in l1he city, for there is no connection to be made with mains or wires.
 Although hardly year has passed since the first announcement of the discovery, it became at once so clearly apparent that acetylene was destined to supersede the other illuminants of the time, that companies for it's manu facture have been organized in more than half the states of the Union, and it is coming into general use more rapidly than the bicycle, and in the course of the next five years acetylene will not only completely supersede gas and electricity, but will also to very considerable extent take the place of coal oil, because it can be used on the farm or in the small village just as well as in the city.
 An establishment for the manufact- ure of acetylene gas is now being put up at Denver An experimental or demonstrative plant is already in oper- tion, and the company expects in the course of a very few months to be ready to commence supplying the pub lic From an exhaustive article on the subject in the News we copy as following: .
 1.-The beauty of the whole process is that the gas may be sold either by the pound or by the quart. In the first place a house is piped the same as usual, and in one corner of the base ment is placed a cylinder of sheet metal about as large as a stove. The top is connected with pipes and on the side is a door, A few pounds of the substance may be placed in the cylin- der and several gallons of water added and the door shut. The gas begins to form at once, and is held until wanted Then it is used the same as city gas, and as soon as the supply is exhausted it is necessary to remove the lime from the cylinder and repeat the operation, probably twice week.
 1.-The other process is much simpler, but slightly more costly. About once a month, or once in two months if the house is small, a cylinder of compress ed gas is brought ito the house and con- neoted with the pipes. No more at tention is necessary until the tank is exhausted. This, of course, saves the enormous expense of street mains, and at the same time makes each house in- dependent of every other source, ex- cept the occasional supply from the works. The result at the burner is also vastly more light for given amount of gas consumed, less heat and 3 light of absolute whiteness"

POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE Attached to FaSSett'S
 Visit. Local impressions of Colonel
 CroCker. Fie Considers This Valley Unlimited in the Quantity of It's
 Products.

Col. Fred Crocker and his guest, J. Sloat Fassett, left last night on their return to San Francisco. During their three days stay in Phoenix they have seen much of the locality round about the city and express themselves as delighted with their glimpse of az ricultural Arizona.
 ''Fm not surprised,' said Colonel Crocker, tat the range of your pro ducts nor at the products, for much of the truth in this regard I have known for years, but the valley in size is far beyond my expectations. It would appear to me the main difficulty would not be in securing products, consider ing the rare natural advantages, but would lie in disposing of them when the land is brought to it's full measure of yield
 Col. Crocker expressed regret that his road ran through such barren ex- panse, usually accepted by the traveller as a fair presentation of Arizona's natural features. In regard to the rumor of change of line he said his company had as yet no such intention. To take the main line through Phoe- nix would mean the abandonment of the Maricopa & Phoenix and would very materially increase the length of the transcontinenfal journey. It might some day be done, but not until the business of the Salt River valley would command the change.
 To a member of The Republican staff Col. Crocker stated that his visit to Phoenix was simply in pursuance of a promise made his friend, Whitelaw Reid, to visit him in Phoenix by Jan uary 10. It has been a friendly call and nothing more.
 MT. Fassett, who for several weeks has been a guest of Col. Crocker, has of late been suffering from a severe cold, and accompanied his host both for the attention of his complaint and to. confer with his old political asso- cfate, MT. Reid. While here his health did not materially improve and he was confined to the car for much of the time
 Of one thing, there seems every as- .surance-that MT. Fassett's visit to Arizona has not been wholly for his health. During the three days of his stay he has been deep in consultation with MT Reid and vigorous Morton boom may now be expected ito arise on the Pacific slope. From San Fran cisco, Ir. Eassett's business, it is an nounced, will take him to Oregon Washington, Montana, Nevada and Utah, and thence back home, where the forces of Platt are to be me. before 1he St. Louis delegates are chosen.

state. Congressman Grout said: 1--WE are
for the American doctrine of silver and
gold. We are for keeping the two metals
on a parity"
New York and Pennsylvania.
The situation in New York and Pennsyl-
vania is almost identical, except that in the
former the general sentiment is regarded as
more favorable to Reed, and in Pennsyl-
vania 1t is regarded as probably more ia
vorable to Mckinley. In the New York
delegation in Congress no one can be found
who will admit any doubt as to the earnest
ness of Mortons candidacy. or for a min
ute discuss the possibility of a second
choice. In the Pennsylvania delegation the
only answer to all questions is that Quay
Is candidate, and that Pennsylvania Is
solid for Quay. Any talk Of second choice
or of the relative strength of other candi-
dates in the state is resented.
The combination is generally regarded
as anti-Mckinley, whatever else it may or
may not be. There are various estimates
as to how the delegations of these two
states would divide up If their favorite
sons were out of the way. Reeds strength
In New York is generally conceded, and
there is a dispute to whether he or Nc
Kinley is stronger in Pennsylvania.
There is a public belief that some sort of
understanding has been had between Quay
and Platt, and that the votes of Pennsyl-
vania and New York will eventually be
thrown for the same candidate. The unit
rule Is expected to operate in both delega-
lions, so that minority support will not
count. No doubt is expressed that Quay
will control the Pennsylvania delegation
and throw 1t where he wants, If he drops
out of the race himself. AS to the New
York delegation, one of the best informed
of the republican members of the House
says that they will vote for Morton until
he tells them to stop. and If he is not
nominated they will. when he retires, vote
as he says.
How the votes of these two great states
Will ultimately be cast in the convention
no one can tell. 1t is doubtful whether the
leaders have as yet any idea; but one thing
generally recognized. or at leas: believed
is that the combination is to cast the sew
enty-two votes of New York and nearly all,
If not quite all. of the sixty votes of Penn
sylvania against Mckinley
New Jersey.
Mr. Loudenslager says that the New Jer-
sew delegation will go unpledged, and will
be free to act as circumstances and the
general condition of affairs may influence
their choice after they get to the conven-
ton. They have no hostility toward any
candidate. None of the New Jersey men
will admit any preference with the delega-
ton. The belief is expressed in other quar-
tiers that they will be found in the Reed
column.
Maryland.
Representative Wellington says that the
Maryland delegation will probably go to
the convention without promise, pledge or
obligation to any one of the candidates
AS a compliment to their new republican
governor they will probably cast their six
teen votes for Lowndes on the first ballot
and after that their course will be decided
by the existing circumstances. There Is a
general understanding that Mr.. Reed has

So far as the state and congressional
campaigns are concerned. the republicans
have never been NOR jubilant. They say
they see victory ahead. They are prepar-
ing to take advantage Of the divisions in
the democratic ranks in the state on the
financial questions. There is not so much
division of sentiment in the republican
ranks on these questions. 1t is claimed
that the republicans are not for free silver

lfsm. This is gathered from talks with the
Congressman of that state.

Mississippi.
The situation in Mississippi is simple but
interesting. There are two factions i'm the
state-one headed by John r. Lynch an
ex-auditor Of the treasury, and the other
by James HILL Both are colored. and stand
at the head Of their race in point of inteili-
gence and honesty. Hill was at one time
Internal revenue collector of the state. The
state convention was he'd last week, and
divided into two conventions. Each elected
delegates to st. Louis. and the interesting
part OF 1t is that each selected Mckinley
delegates. There is no division so far as
Mckinley Is concerned, the friends OF the
Ohio candidate say. The delegates OF
