A Bld SUCCESS. The Democratic County
 Convention. A Ticket Composed of Tax payers Nominated Un-
 animously.
The Country Gets Three important Offices-Two of the Supervisors and the Nominee for Sheriff. The Convention Adopts Strong Resolutions for Marcus A Smith The Platform.

Last Saturday, October 6, 1900, will long be a red letter day in the history of the Democratic party of Santa Cruz county. It was the occasion of the meeting of delegates from the various precincts in the county in Democratic convention assemb bled for the purpose of nominating a Democratic county ticket for the consideration of the voters of this, the baby county of Ari- zona. Being the first convention held since the creation of the county by the last legislature, q great deal of interest was manifested by the Democrats of the county who were impatiently awaiting the results of the deliberations of the convention.
 Every Democrat hoped harmony would reign supreme, that no man would be placed in nomination who was not strong enough to not only be elected, but strong enough to carry strength to his fellow nominees on the ticket
 When it is known that nearly every mah nominated was done SO by exclamation, there can be no doubt of the harmony which was hoped for It is safe to say that never has there been more harmonious county convention held in Arizona than the one held last Saturday in Marsh s opera house.
 When it is known that the following representative men, u majority of whom are among the heaviest taxpayers in Santa Cruz county, were nominated, all must agree that the Democratic county ticket with Hon. Marcus A. Smith at its head for delegate to con gross and Hon. J. B. Finley as coun- cilman- is composed of strong represen- tative men, each and every one of whom should be elected to the respective offices to which they have been nomi hated by the Democrats in county con- vention assembled.

FRANK HARTLEE.

Frank Hartlee, who was nominated by the convention for the office of con- stable is too well known to need an in- troduction to the voters of Nogales. MT. Hartlee has resided in the territory many years, part of which time he was employed as guard at the territo- rial prison, where he made for himself an excellent reputation as an officer At present he is constable of Nogales precinct No. l, and it is q well known fact that he has made one of the best officers the city has ever had. We hope and trust that Frank Hartlee will receive the solid vote of Nogales, for we know he is deserving of the place to which he has been nominated.

s. p. M'CUGLAR.

Sam P. CcCullar, who has been nominated on the Democratic ticket for the office of constable of Nogales pre- cinct No. l., is at present deputy sber- if under Santa Cruz county's present sheriff. Everybody in Nogales and nearly everybody in the county knows Sam McCullar, or "Mac'' as his friends love to call him. He has a reputation for honesty and is a man whose word is as good as many meu's bond. He has made an excellent deputy sheriff and he will be elected to the office of constable of Nogales precinct by handsome majority.
 A vote for 'tLittle Mac" is vote for a man who knows not the word fear, and a vote for Democrat who is en- titled to be elected.

MAURICE BREEN.

Maurice Breen, the Democratic can of this county should take pleasure in
 honoring.
 Although he is young man, com paratively, he is old in experience and
 practical knowledge. He is older in experience than many, years his senior.
 MT. Breen was born in Des Moines,
 Iowa, where he obtained his business education, being a graduate of the Capital City Commercial College, and of the Kansas State University, two well known institutions of learning. After graduating from the Kansas State University he entered the we'll known mercantile esta blishment of Marshall Field of Chicago, where for two years he occupied the responsible position of assistant bookkeeper, when he was promoted to the still more re sponsible position of travelling solicitor and collector, which position he held six years, up to the time he came to Nogales, over three years ago, for the benefit of his health. After remaining here several months he thought he was a we'll man and returned to Chicago to resume his old position with Marshall Field, but the cold blasts of the windy city were too much for him, and he was again compelled to return to Noga- les to regain what he had lost by going east-his health--with the intention of making his home here always. He purchased a one-half interest in what is known as the Nogales Livery Stables and has since been active in making the business a success. He is mar ried man, heavy taxpayer. straight forward in his dealings and thoroughly upright in character. By education and experience he is a thorough busi- ness man, good penman and thoroughly competent to perform the duties Of the office for which he is a. candidate. No man in the county is better qualified to fill the responsible position to which Mir. Breen aspires than he, and we believe that every voter who has the interests of the county at heart will vote for him and that he will be elected by safe majority.

We the Democrats of Santa Cruz county in convention assembled re- affirm our adherence to the time honored principles of Democracy.
 RESOLVED: That we pledge our hearty support to our peerless leader, that great Tribune and Apostle of the rights of humanity, William Jennings Bryan. In him we have unfaltering faith; the cause of human rights, not only in this land, but throughout the world, has in him gallant champion
 RESOLVED: That the Democratic party unqualifedly condemns the ad- ministration's policy of imperialism, and reiterates the belief that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that denial of this principle and right to the people of the Philippine Archi- pelago means sooner or later its des- truction in our own land.
 RESOLVED: That we are opposed to a large standing army, and believe the safety and welfare of the Republic can best be guarded by our citizen soldiers. We recognize the fact that this inn perialistic and trust-ridden administra- tion does not believe in the volunteer as he carries a conscience as well as gun.
 RESOLVED: That we condemn the Republican administration for it's pro- lection to the trusts. With four years of McKlnleyism, a Repu blican Senate and Republican House of Ropresen- tatives, not single step has been taken to curtail the fearful ravages of these enemies of industrial competition, which are grinding down the laborers and blocking the avenues of ad vance ment of the young manhood of our country.
 RESOLVED: That we give our un- qualified indorse ment to the Kansas City platform in its entirety; We re- coguize the doctrine Of the free and un- limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, as cardinal principle of Demo- cratic faith.
 RESOLVED: That we recognize in the poll tax law an infringement of the rights of American citizenship, and we do not believe that it is in accordance with the principles of free government to place money value upon citizens right to vote, and we pledge our legis- lative nominees to vote to repeal the ! law.
 RESOLVED: That we are unalterably | opposed to secret political organiza- tions.
 RESOLVED: That we believe that 1 none but Democrats, who have been tried and found true should occupy places on our county ticket.
 RESOLVED: That we are opposed to the taxation of our unpatented mines.
 RESOLVED: That we condemn the in- sincerity of the National Republican to give Arizona state

MADISON TIMES.

After an absence from TIE TIMES for ! several weeks, your correspondent started
 ost Wednesday evening in search of news. The first place we stopped was at Ed Berry's potato house. We there met k. l., Berry, who was loading car of pota-
 toes to be consigned to parties in Paris Texas. He expressed himsslf as being highly gratified over the prospects for a prosperous year.
 We then visited the hoop factory in the north end of tue village, of which we 1 made mention in our last. We met Nr. II. w. Robinson, the owner of the plant. He is quite genial gentleman, and has erected first-cass mill. with all modern machinery, which bids fair to be one of
 the leading manufacturing establishments in the country
 | Our next place was Mir. Ed. Berry's barn, where We were shown four fine
 mules that he had just purchased from Mir. Barrow, of Forrest City. Mr Berry already owned number of good mules 1 that we saw. He expects to do 'quite all
 extensive logging business this season. J. w. Wheeler X Co.'s office was our
 next stop. Capt. Henry Uncle Ike) and Mir. George Wheeler were both in and in
 very talkative mood. They informed us
 that they had just bought that evening a
 half million feet of logs from Mir. Rogers.
 of Bay Spur. They now have five million
 feet of logs They have recently put in an electric light plant and have their mill lighted up with one arc and thirty smal lights, and are going to put on night crew and run day and night. They ex- , peet to double there already large business , They are preparing to erect eight dwelling
 houses and make numerous other improve
 ments. They requested us to state that they will give away large amount ol
 strips for stove wood, to anyone who will
 haul them away. They shipped eleven cars oi lumber, amounting to I25 600 feet.
 The health of Madison is worse than fer
 some time. If we were to make mention

 our Knowledge goes, there are no new cases
 at present, and the old ones are all better.
