Arizona republican., 1900-09-07

Sheriff D. L. Murray.
 There was an understanding that every aspirant for a county office should deposit with, or rather. give to
 the chairman $5 for the good of the party. The money of the candidates having been put up, the balloting pro- | ceeded.
 On the first ballot, Stout received 34; Sanders, 31; Walker, 291A; Norton, 27; Murray, A.
 The second ballot resulted as fol- lows: Stout, 8; Sanders, 30; Walker, 8; Nonton, 2S: Murray, 19. Previous to taking the third ballot the name of MT. Sanders was withdrawn and the l remaining candidates received: Stout, 56; Walker, 45; Norton, 30; Murray, 15. MT. Murray then dropped out of the contest and on the fourth ballot Stout | received 671a votes; Walker, 431a, and
 Norton 34. MT. Norton then quit the
 field expressing a hope in favor of | Walker. There was a demonstration in
 Scouts favor by the First ward which showed that he was receiving Wilson support. There was also a rumor that ten votes of Tempe had gone to him and altogether the situation would have seemed gloomy to any other man | than J. E. Walker, who sat smiling, as l he had sat when he and everybody believed he would emerge from the | fight the nominee of the convention. l On the fifth ballot Stout received S1 | votes: Walker. 65; "A was all that Stout needed and he was declared the nomi- nee. MT. Walker kept on smiling, and l MT. Clark arose and thanked his sup 1 porters for their work and his antag- I onists for their courtesy. MT. Stout | conveyed ito the convention his appre 1 citation of the honor done to him and
 tbe convention at 1:15 went to dinner. The hardest and most time exhausting
 contest of the day was over.
 THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
 The next event was the nomination 1 of a candidate for district attorney.
 There were two candidates George Purdy Bullard and Alfred Franklin. This was a contest which had been
 kept as nearly as possible out of the
 Smith-Wilson whirlpool and had not 1 been hotly engaged in by either party. 1 It was decided in one ballOt-S3 for i Bullard and 59 for Franklin. MT. Bull
 lard made a speech, ona of the hap piest in the convention, designed to ce
 ment the fragments of the party. When | he resumed his seat in the box beside | his wife he was vicited by MT. Frank
 lin with that suavity which comes of ! worldwide travel. Mir. Franklin con- : graduated MT. Bullard upon his suc-
 cess and Mrs. Bullard upon being the i posse ss9r of such a successful husband. i But Mir. Bullard's joy was not without 1 alloy. In his speech he had said: "Mr.
 Chairman, ladies and delegates of this ! convention: This is Tfie proudest day
 of my life" etc When Mrs. Bullard
 got him out by himself she said loftily
 and freezingly: "Purdy, did you have
 in mind your wedding day?" "I said
 the 'proudest' day of my life, my dear"
 replied Mr Bullard: mot the hap
 piest' day" all of which proves that MT.
 Eullard is a resourceful person and
 ready of tongue.
 The candidates for the two nOmina- tions for supervisors were Alexander 1 IIunsaker, F. c. Norris and Henry
 Jennings. The contest was settled in
 a single ballot. Hunsaker received 13S
 votes; Norris, 9S, and Jennings was the | low man out with B.
 This event was followed by the nom-
 iPation of J. Elliott Walker for treas
 urer by exclamation. MT. Walker did | not care for the office and it was there
 fore regarded as a consolation prize, | but most of tEe nominations distrib- l uted yesterday were consolation prizes.
 H. M. Willis got 65 votes for candi-
 date for probate judge and was beaten
 by J. H. Langstron, who received @
 votes. This was the most surprising event of the day, but little more so than
 the defeat of Neri Osborn by Frank | McFaE for the recordership. MT. Os-
 born. who had been counted upon as a
 sure thing. got 59 votes: McFall, 7S MT. | Osborn had been an offensive Smith l partisan.
 A. H. Fulton was nominated for county school superintendent by ac-
 clamation and by the same easy pro-
 cess George Sturdevant was put in the l field for county surveyor. and Henry | Orme for county assessor.
 In the same way Dr. J. M. Ford was
 nominated for the council.
 A SELF MADE MAN
 James Ivy was put in nomination for | the assembly by Frank Barkley of l Mesa, who described him as a man
 who had made himself. The conven-
 ton roared and MT. Barkley corrected | himself by saying that Mir. Ivy was a l self made man and looked like Abra | ham Lincoln. The crowd roared again
 and demarded a sight of this Abraham
 Lincoln. MT. Ivy rose up With fool
 ish grin and the crowd was disap- pointed. Other candidates for the as sembly were P. P. Parker, J. A. Kurtz, | Charles Peterson, Eugene Brady | O'Neill and E. Gonzalez. The success full candidates were chosen in one bal lot by the following vote: James Ivy, | because he created himself the image of Lincoln, 116; P. P. Parker. 119; Charles Peterson, 122 E. Gonzalez, 1O1. O'Neirl received 51 votes and MT ! Kurtz 16, but every time a vote was counted for him his friends tried to raise the roof off the opera house
 This ended the nominations and after rhe appointment of a committee com posed of Neri Osborn, Logan Rives, J. K. Murphy, J. D. Marian and Charles
 Woolf to apportion the new central committee an adjournment was taken
