To the Editor Of the Intelligencer..
SlR:-In your Issue Of the 18th inst,
notice a letter from one OF our distin-
guIshed citizens, the Hon. John W. Ma
Sun, wherein he makes a<suggestion, that
a state convention be called by the Re-
publlcans OF West Virginia, next May
or June. TO nominate or indicate to our
representatives. In the state senate and
legislators, who we want 10 represent us
In the United States senate, as Senator
Faulkner'S successor.
As We have not the privilege to select
By popular vote. we heartily endorse Mr..
Mason's suggestion, believing that many
Evils may be avoided by the above plan.
and thereby giving the most humble
voter voice, in naming q United States
senator.
Voters OF to-day are demanding fair
nominations. fair fight, that meri: may
have show, TO win, as we'll as the man
who may have barrel OF money at his
command rs
Having. after a hard and long strug-
Gle, enrolled the grand state of West
Virginia on the Republican banner. let
Us by fair play and judicious nominal
tons, increase our stronghold, IS the
sentiment OF an humble Voter.

For the sake OF harmony and the suc-i
ccs, OF the party, no convention ought 10

success of the party. Let no candidate
attempt this. ~
There ought to be, no convention and.
no contest for the senatorship by the
Republicans In this state until we have
elected Republican legislature.
That the holding OF a convention and
nominating candidate would facilitate
matters and save time for members Of
the legislature, as some claim. is ex-
tremely doubtful when We consider the
recent contest in the state OF Ohio. Be-

THE .DINKIE" FINGER.
Jerry Millay Tells Why He Permitted
 the Amputation.

Jerry Millay yesterday entertained bunch Of mavericks by informing them why he had permitted the sur qaon to amputate all but the butt end of one of his 'dinkie" fingers. AS everybody in Arizona knows, Jerry mas for years and years carried about with him on one hand a little hnger anchylosed at the second Jolnt IL was more than noticeable when he shook hands with any person, and as he is one of the old school of pollt1- cians he was forever and always wig gling the tail end of that little finger in the palm of somebody's hand
 To many this was no doubt annoying and during election times many of Jer- rvs democratic friends refused to shake hands with him, even at the bal lot box. Not because they did not want to vote for him, republican though he was, for many of them did at various times, but it was a good time to pretend antagonism strong enough to refuse the wiggle of that "dinkie" finger. And Jerry now says that he is convinced that the "dinkie" lost him one election at least, though He lO Say WuICu Ou0s
 Sometimes lost in fit of absent mindedness, studying how best to cure the lack of noise in his pockets, he would awaken with a start believing that he had "roll'' in his hand. Many disappointments of this kind came to Jerry while he kept that finger close up to the palm And still he had to keep it there, for the reason that it re- fused to stay put in any other place.
 Being fond of society and particu- larl fond of social doings wherein it was necessary to don the swallow tail and the kids, and to sally forth on feast intent, the only drawback, the great, important one vexation of it all was with reference to kids. One hand was all right, and any glove made in the form and of a pattern used by normal man was good enough for that hand. But when it came to the other the glove was never constructed by the glovier that would accommodate that "dinkie" finger. And so it came to pass, as Jerry grew more popular (through influences at home, full credit for which he gives), these invitations out became more and more frequent, and the glove question became the all-absorbing one of his entire house hold, until at length Mrs. Jerry hit upon bright plan. Heretofore Jerry only thrust three fingers and thumb into one of his gloves, and the result may easily be imagined, and especially realized when he shook hands gloved in that way. It never did look just right anyway, walking along, in parlors or on the street. to see a man and all his appurtenances going in one direction while an empty glove finger was point ing out everywhere, and conducting itself in an independent and irrespon- sible manner, both before and after wine and cake
 The plan hit upon was simple, and
Arizona republican., 1898-04-25

the wonder is that it was not before thought Of By cutting the finger from the glove and sewing it on again to the palm of the glove in an inverted or concaved fashion, the trick was done, and for long time a large bur den of the veXation was taken away.
 Here Jerry tells how he met with his Waterloo and how it was for some time a question as to how long the armistice between the 'dinkie" and himself should remain unbroken. Now, you fellows, are all married men," said Jerry, land of course you know that little tiffs will occur between man and wife. I thank kind heaven that my life has been almost free from them. I say almost, because 1 do not mean entirely. Once in awhile Mrs. J. and I differ a little as to methods-never as to results. Well, this tiff arose about the sewing on of the glove finger one evening. 1 sug- gested a different way and she insisted she knew better. Finally I had to go to the ball without any glove finger on the 'dinkie' and I felt so uncomfort- able about it that I just determined upon a declaration of war. And the next morning the surgeon cut off MT. 'dinkie'"
 "All very nice, Jerry," suggested one of the mavericks, but don't tell it out side the circle of your friends"
 Why not?" said Jerry.
 Well, Jerry, there are few mean persons still remaining in Phoenix, and one of them might be just mean enough to say that you had the "dinkie' cut off so as to be exempt from military draft, and'-
 At this point Jerry had to hurry to catch the 4:27 elevator in the Fleming building and the unbranded bunch solemnly separated.

the landscape. That the residents will take advantage of facilities for horticulture, if they be offered, is evil denced by the struggle made under present adverse conditions to have something green and growing about them.
 Another feature of our new water supply, and one that may interest Salt River valley folks, is the probability of better conveniences for taking care of visitors. Parties tell me that daily inquiries are received for accommo- dations fer the summer from Phoenix and other southern towns, but that not one-half of those who want to come can be taken care of. With your appreciation of the advantages accru- ing from the influx of winter visitors in Phoenix you can understand that Prescott would find even greater profit and enjoyment from a goodly number of others who, perhaps, would not in- clude so large a percentage of invalids, and most of whom would be personally known to some, ,;r most Of us. The war news continues to absorb most Of our attention, no diminution being noticeable in the interest with which each fresh bulletin IS received and discussed. I can imagine but one thing that would increase the fever here and that (and may God forbid, ) would be some disaster to cur arms | I don't believe they would wait the
 slower process of recruiting, but just
 pick up and go-just another kion- dyke rush, only with the higher mo- | tivo of natriotisrn I wonder how this
 war excitement affects them up there
 anyway?
