CATION may be gone over anew before
the committee on credentials. which is
to be named by the chairman Of the
convention. The contests do not even
stop with that committees reports, as
the delegates who are unsuccessful will
have the right Of appeal to the conven-
tion.
1t is hard to predict now with any
degree OF accuracy who will be selected
by the national committee for temporary
chairman of the convention, so few of the
committeeman have yet arrived and
there are none of the prominent lead
ers. Among the men who have been
mentioned. however, are Gov. Merriam
OF Minnesota and H. Clay Evans Of
tennessee, a candidate for the vice.
presidency nomination. Mr.. Evans is
also talked of for permanent chairman,
as also are Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio. Sem
ator-elect George L. Wellington Of Mory-
land, Senator Foraker and also Mayor
Caldwell of Cincinnati.
Word was received from M. A. Hanna
that he and his party would leave Cleve-
land at pm. tomorrow and arrive here
at am. Wednesday. By that time it
Is expected the entire national COM
mfttee will be here, as it meets We'd
nesday morning. 1t is probable that
Messrs. Platt, Gear Of Iowa and Manley
OF Maine will have arrived, prepared
to look after the interests Of their re-
spective candidates
Many of the delegates to the Republi-
can national convention will be quar-
tered In their sleeping cars in the st.
Louis Terminal yards. The association
has space for 200 sleeping cars and they
will be so placed as to afford their occu-
pants no trouble in reaching them.
Already space has been reserved for 119
cars. Among the organizations that
have secured space and accommodation
is the Golden Gate club of California.
The gavel which will be used by the
permanent chairman of the Republican
national convention was received at the
headquarters of the local committee to-
day. It will be presented to the chair
man by Senator Berry, one of the Illinois
delegates. The gavel is an excellent
piece of wood carving done by w. H.
most artistic carvers in the country.
Mr.. Bartels selected the wood, a hickory
log taken from the log cabin occupied
by President Lincoln at New Salem,
ILL.,, In 1882. There are panels on each
side which are filled in with suitably
inscribed plates of gold and silver

PHOENIX, AZ, June 8.-The Demo-
tic forr.itorio1 convention had ono
pervading idea, and that was free sill
yer. OF the ninety-six delegates al
most every one appeared radical on the
subject. w. A. Rowe of Yavapai, for
thirty years a silver miner in Arizona,
was elected chairman. His speech ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the policy
of the national Democratic adminis-
tration, and called upon the convention
to express its principles without hesi-
tation. The committee on resolutions
consisted of one member from each
county. It's report was as follows:
Resolved, That the Democratic party
of Arizona, In convention assem- b1ed re-
pudiates the financial policy of the pres
ent national administration. We in
ddrSe the language used by John c.. Car
Isle in 1878, when he denounced the
conspiracy" to destroy silver as a
standard money as "the most gigantic
crime Of this or any other age" and we
made that the consummation of such
scheme would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all
the wars and pestilences that have ever
occurred in the history of the world"
We are not willing to be parties to
such crime, and in order to undo the
wrong already done and to prevent a
further fall in the purchasing power Of
a dollar, we favort he immediate res
toration OF the free and unlimited COIN
age of gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1, as such coinage
existed prior to 1873. without waiting for
the aid or consent Of any other nation:
such gold and silver to be a full legal
tender for all debts public or private.
We are opposed to the retirement Of
the greenback and demand that the sec
retary Of the treasury instead of issuing
interest bearing bonds for the purchase
Of gold shall recognize silver as money
OF redemption, and exercise the right to
redeem greenbacks, treasury notes and
all other coin obligations in silver where
silver Is more convenient.
RESOLVED, That the delegates to the
national convention be, and they are
hereby. instructed to vote as a unit and
to vote only for free coinage candidates
for nomination for president and vice
president
Resolved, That we, the Democratic
party in convention assembled. demand
the immediate admission of Arizona to
the sisterhood of states, and we urge
our delegate to congress to use his best
endeavors to that end.
A resolution pledging the Chicago DEL
egateS to Bland was voted down. as
instructions were not deemed adyisa-
