 The convention then adjournel to reasse mble in the district court room at o'clock.
 During the intermission between the afternoon and evening sessions it be came rumored that the committee ol resolutions was preparing incendiary matter intended to prostitute the con vention to personal and political pro- jects. When the meeting was recop- vened and Chairman Parish rose to present the committee report, there was an ominous silence significant of an early storm. The report, however. was harmless affair, an adiress fo the miners of the territory eyabodyine little beside the contents of the gov ernor's call. But the repor. had a se- | quela, a resolution declaring in favor of home rule in the evere of the defeaf of the statehood bill. Then the storm broke.

Then that | fatigable prospector, George Purdy 6Hlard, with the gTime of years in shaft and tunnel still on him and h:s l hand still bleeding from misdirected d blows at drill heads, appealed for the adoption of both the home rule and silver resolutions as measures beneficial to him and the class he rep resented. The heat of the conspira- tors cooled under an appeal by Hon. George w. Cheyney to the good judg- ment of the convention. He remind ed them that nobody YVES represented in the convention. It was an in- choate body and would never be any thing more if the measure before the house or the one proposed by M-. Drachman prevailed. His own friend Illness to silver was we'll knokn. but he would be compelled at such time and place to vote against a free silver resolution or any other of a political or quasi political character.
 After this the friends Of the reso- lution lost heard and an amendm ent by A. Evans to refer it to the permanent organization was carried without dissent.
 The only other business was the adoption of a resolution protesting against the setting apart of fifteen miles on each side of the Grand can yon as a national park Attorney General Frazier, General w. o.
