THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.
Politics Make Strange Bed Fellows The
 Old Saw Is Again Exemplified.

You cannot get drummer to occupy a room numbered l3. There has been q superstition connected with the number ever since the Lords supper. The bad omen. however. had no terrors for the unterrified. Their recent cOun- ty convention was composed of thirteen delegates, Mormon Dairy furnishing one pOpulist. Flagstaff furnished three pOpulists. one republican. one demo- crat and one non resident.
 These facts leaked out through rather heated discussion among demo- crats high in th,' councils of the party. some of whom declare their intention of supporting the ticket headed by Col. BrOdie. believing it would result in benefit to the state and COconino cOun- ty. These are far seeing gentlemen who have heretofore stood the brunt of political battle, and who are now indig- nant over the fact that their political sentiments have been so ruthlesSly set aside by men the ma jority of whom do not belong to the party. There is a pretty fight ahead that bodes i'll luck | for the thirteen.
