Arizona republican., 1898-08-20

 wasted the democratic county conven- tion adjourned last night shortly be- fore midnight. One thing which had been earnestly contemplated by a large section of the party, fusion with the populists, was defeated under such circumstances that considerable part of their intended allies has turned into an enemy.
 The fight for office was so bitter that many heartburnings will follow in the wake of the convention, and some of the methods employed were not cal culated to inspire friends of defeated candidates with the belief that it is absolutely necessary that the success full ticket should be elected in it's en- tirety. The work of the convention may be summed up in this way: The following ticket has been nominated. For councilman, Aaron Goldberg
 For assemblymep. Charles Peterson, H. N. Willis, J. M. Langston and J. C. Evars. silver republican.
 For sheriff, D. L. Murray. For county recorder, W. A. Moeur
 For district attorney, Joseph Camp bell
 
 For probate judge, Lee Gray.
 For school superintendent, A. H Fulton.
 For supervisors, Albert Miller, Sam uel Stout
 Precinct officers were nominated and a county central committee was chosen.
 Probably the most important of all was the election of a delegation to the territorial convention. The precise complexion of it is unknown, but it is known that it is somehow divided be- tween Hon. M. A. Smith. Col J. F. Wilson and Hon. B. E. Ellinwood It | is believed that Smith secured about one-third of the delegation from the city consisting of fifteen mem bers and that probably a majority of the remaining thirteen from the country are favorable to him. At the last moment the Smith people failed in the establishment of the unit rule Just how the delegation is divided will be known only after the vote has been cast for delegate to congress- DIFFERENT IN THE MORNING. A great deal Of work had been done during the night and the sentiments of many of the delegates had been ma terially changed. It was for this that the opponents of D. l.. Murray had struggled for an earlier adjournment If they had succeeded he would most likely have been defeated. This is in- dicated by what happened to J. F. Boyd. who was clearly in the lead for nomination for recorder. But his strength was sapped away in the night. Though he led in the first ballot his support was not SO stubborn as it had been and not so heavy since Frank Luke had entered the struggle with ten votes, the most of which had been withdrawn from Boyd. Following the roll call there was an announcement of the following prox- ies: M. A. Sanford, representing J. M. Ward; J. Bone, representing D. F. Barkley; D. P. Jones, representing MT. Sorenson; Robert Doll, representing Gus Hirschfeld.
 Chairman Baker opened a brief kindergarten class in parliamentary customs, after which the convention proceeded with the ticket.
