Nearly all the southern delegates to the democratic territorial convention spent yesterday in Phoenix On their way home from Prescott. Barnes and his "Injuns' were here, also Mark Smith, his manager, Dr. Sweet, and many others of the Smithonians. They did not mix, though, these good demo crats from southern Arizona. They are democrats and CT course thorough ly united now that the battle is oyer They all say so, anyway; that is, if you happen to be talking to two or
 mere. If it is Olly ere democrat that is getting interviewed heNwill wink the ether eye when Wilson is mentioned. Of course there are some Wilson men here, but they were born that way and can't help it. Most Of them at one time helped comprise the right wing Of General Prices army They are still ''unconstructed and unterri- fed" It is known that twelve Mari copa men voted for Wilson On the lasi ballot at Prescott. They and few in timate friends will probably vote for hin at the polls in November. Fur ther than this. Wilscn's strength south Of Yavapai county will be as hard to locate as the prCverbial needle in the haystack. Despite this fact He ''heelers" say that all factions are now satisfied and that nothing but broth but if it is, it prevails like the old lady kept tavern. Any one could see that yesterday.
 The Barnes and Smith peo- pie stepped at the same hotel, but they occupied seats On opposite sides Of the house. They were united sure enough, but not beyond their own factions. The Ellinwood men kept to themselves, also. Altogether it was very pretty example of unity. Billy Barnes had little to say and in the few remarks that he did make he men toned no names. What he had to say, though, was forcibly expressed. Barnes is a democrat, always has been democrat, but a great many in his party wish he was something else, or would at least claim to be something else. They would then be little bet ter prepared to keep his trail. From 9 republican standpoint Barnes tactics at Prescott show great generaiship. He, be it remembered, was not there 10 nominate, but 10 destroy. It WAS any one but Mark Smith with him, and in that he was successful. Then he sacrificed Jones to de:sat Ellinwood and was successful. He will be sue cessful. again when the republicans de- feat Wilson at the polls. Yes, Barnes Is . democrat, but if any one thinks he is a satisfied democrat they arc nightly mistaken. He is net through yet, and before he is. many more scalps will dangle at the belts Of those VOL derfuI .Injuns-" Joe Scott, Barnes chief scalper, said yesterday that FL linwood just simply traded himself ont of a good job That is so, pro viding Of course that Ellinwcod could have been elected. No one knows the truth of ScCtt's words better than EllinwCCd and no one will remember them longer.
 El.inwocd is undoubtedly as strong in Pima couEEy as the "Injuns" and his taste for scalps was given a great impetus at Prescott. His error, ae- cording to Baruc5, was his failure to vcte the tweaty-one delegates pledged tc him from the northern counties for the Barnes organization of the convention Had Ellinwood done this the contesting Barnes delegation would have been unhcrsed by noon Friday and choice reached by early dlLeFnOOn- BuL hat6 Barnes pretty we'll and vas by TO means certain whether it was Jcles, ! Wi;scn or himself that was to be i.he ! choice. He was pretty certain, ] though, that Smith would withdraw i, because the veteran leader iron, Co., ! chise county had said he would to friends. Eilinwccd figured that if ha i helped Smith unseat Barnes that plenty of the formers strength would 1 be forthcoming to make him the nOmi- | nee.

The ..Injuns" got his i scalp, and that is why Ellinwccd was 1 net nominated.
 As shining example Of 1 Barnes strength and unrelenting pur pose, the Graham councy delegation l should be cited. 4 majority favored i Smith first, Jones next, then Ellin- | wood, and last Wilson With Smith i out they all went to Jones, who was Barnes friend.
