NEW-JERSEYS DELEGATION.

These colored statesmen and their followers
are largely in evidence IN the anterooIn OF the
National Committee and they talk learnedly
about the political situation and almost without
exception they are individually mixed up in con-
tests Of one kind or another and are vigorous
and vociferous in presenting their side Of the
case. From Louisiana come several who are OF
the Creole type They easily distinguished
by their light color. polite deneanor and soft
speech But Ianguor does not seem to be a part
Of their temperament They are energetic as
their deeper hued brethren in struggling for
recognition by the National Committee. Six of
the delegates from Alabama are colored. J. NJ.
Vance, delegate-at-large, is college graduate,
and is now a leading member OF the bar Of New
Orleans. This is the third time that he has been
sent TO the National convention by the regular

and is Bishop Of Concordia Parish, Of the Atri-

G. W. Beecher returned Tues
day evening from a ten day 5
trip to the searchlight country
and is enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities Of that country. He
says there are numerous big
veins in and around Searchlight
that will become immense pro-
ducers of gold. The McCnrdy
mine, owned by the Quartet com
pany, at depth of $50 feet has
a ledge q feet wide, all ore.
The vein on the surface was of
moderate size, but has been
widening with every foot of
depth, and what is still more
satisfactory, there has been no
loss in values, but on the contra
ry the ore is better than on the
surface. The company own sew
eral other mining claims, but
this vein has the deepest work
ings. At Quartet, on the Colo
rado river, sixteen miles from
the mines, the company has in
course of construction one of
the best appointed gold mills in
the state of Nevada. The mill
is one of 20 stamps, but the com
pany will soon have to install a
much larger plant to handle the
product from their large mines.

renewing old acquaintances and
forming many new ones. Mr..
Morgan is the nominee of the
democratic party of Navajo
county for the assembly, and
though his opponent is one OF
the best known and most popu-
lar men in the community, we
predict, and feel sure that our
prediction will be verified on the
9Th of the coming month, that
he will have the honor of repre-
senting Navajo county in the

Democratic Speaking,

Col. Wilson addressed a fair
audience at the opera house in
this place on last Saturday
night. He handled the living
issues of the present national
campaign in his usual logical,
eloquent and forcetul manner.
Announced from the platform
his willingness to stand by the
decision of the secretary of the
territory as to whether he or
Mark Smith were entitled to the
position of the regular nominee
OF the democratic party of the
territoryfor delegate to congress
Failing in that, he was willing
to draw lots or toss up a coin to
see which should withdraw from
the campaign, the loser to take
the stump for the lucky one.
This certainly seems a fair
proposition, and we cannot see
how Mr.. Smith can refuse to ac-
cept it without laying himself
open to the charge of aiding the
election of Governor Murphy.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
if both remain in the field, Gov
ernor Murphy's election is as
sured.
After Mr.. Wilson had con
cluded his remarks, the Hon.
Henry Ashurst made a brilliant
appeal to the democrats TO stay
with their Colors locally and
territorially. Mr.. Ashurst is a
forceful speaker and being
young man has a brilliant future
before him.

There appears to be a great

lature does. We have been clam

New Rolling Stock.

An unusually large amount of
new equipment is bleng ordered
this season by the railroads.
The Santa Fe will make big ad-
ditions to its rolling stock this
tall. The first consignment of
the 20 large passenger locomo-
tives being built for the road at
the Rhode Island Locomotive
Works, and intended for the
California limited that is to be
put on again in November, is ex-
pected to arrive about October
Is.
Besides all the ordinary work
of construction that is going on
in the company's shops, and the
eight superb dining cars for
which the contract was recently
placed, the Santa Fe is now in
the market for 800 coal cars.
The company has been short for
this latter class of equipment
for some little time past, and the
shortage made itself more ap-
parent in the handling of heavy
tall deliveries.
Generally speaking, larger
freight cars and more powerful
locomotives are in demand, and
the roads that have let contract is
have stipulated that the loco
motives shall be able to outpul]

neer. Becoming dissatisfied, he
resigned and engaged in other
business.
Mr.. DAILY was we'll and favor
ably known to all the old resi-
dents of Winslow. He was an
honest and an honorable man.
One whose simple word was his
bond. One whose heart and
purse were ever open to any and
all who were unfortunate or in
distress. In short was one of
natures noblemen. A manly
man. One who had a good word
for everybody, or if he could not
say anything good. was careful
to say nothing that would hurt
the most sensitive, or slur the
character or reputation of the
most innocent.
He left a numerous circle of
sincere and warm friends, who
honestly mourn his memory, and
are earnest in their praise of his
many manly and noble traits of
character.
The remains were buried from
the Catholic church, Father
Connolly conducting the fune-
raj services. The pail bearers
were Judge Mahoney, Judge
Haney, John Feeney, E. A. Saw
