Following this came the report of the committee on permanent organization and order of business. It recommended that the temporary organization be made permanent: that the report of the committee on resolutions should be received: that Governor Otero be in vited to address the convention. to be followed by addresses by Hon. Mar GUS A. Smith and Colonel Francisco Chavez of New Mexico: that two com munications in the hands of the sec retary should be read, and that then the convention proceed to the selec- ton of a statehood commission of
 three to go to Washington. their ex- penses to be paid and the election of a financial committee of thirteen to
 raise money to meet these expenses. It was also provided that other delegates
 might be selected. but no provision was
 made for the payment of their ex- penSes.
 There were objections to the re-
 port. but at the moment 1t was only
 changed by the rejection of a recom-
 mendation that all resolutions should
 pass into the committee on resolutions.

 greeting to yourself and the good peo- pie of Arizona: I much regret my in ability to attend Arizona's statehood convention on the 26th inst, owing to the large amount of work which is be- fore me to get prepared to go to Washington next month
 However. I am with you and the good people Of Arizona on this the day of their Declaration of Independence, and may God grant that the territory get a new lease of freedom and that a government of its people for its peo- pie shall not perish from its hopes, but that its forty years of disfranchise- ment and tutelage shall end in the Fifty-seventh congress,

COLONEL CHAvEs' SPEECH.

MT. Chaves seemed to be a trifle hoarse when he first began talking. but it was gone in minute and in another minute he had the audience laughing, and kept them so a good part of the time during his address. Not by idle jokes, however but through humorous comparisons, rare compliments paid to the ladies in most delicate way. and in descriptions, that while funny. car ried with them a lesson or most fit ting illustration. He said in part:
 I feel highly honorsd to add my mite to your effort and ours for the secur- ing of an enabling act. l am almost a stranger here. but nevertheless I set foot on Arizona soil at an earlier per- iod than many who are here today. possibly earlier than any now present. It is. therefore, not improper that I should say something of the early his tory of Arizona. My first appearance in tine territory was in 1853. when there was scarcely an oasis in the desert or q station for the accommodation of man or beast: where now your vast mountain rangeS are pouring out their treasure of mineral wealth and broad acres of fertile cultivated lands greet the eye on every hand. The only en- terprising people in the land were say ages. who were ready to scalp you when opportunity presented and rob you of all your worldly goods.
 Then repeating General Sherman's early day remark: that he only wanted to see one more war. and that was q war with Mexico. to force her to take back Arizona and New MeXi- CO.," the speaker said he was glad the gallant general lived to take back the words. and to say that these two ter ritorics would some day be the richest stars in the national diadem.
 The speaker paid appropriate tribute to the wonderful climate of this re- zion, spoke of the Salt River valley as a beautiful oasis. and of Phoenix risen from the ashes of q former civiliza ton. which was very much fin evidence here on the occasion of his first visit to the valley in 1853. At that time he said he bathed in Salt river, and it was the only thing here worth having. There were no beautiful green fields. no wide streets. brick houses or handsome women to be seen. Who discovered the Alladin's lamp and brought up the magnificent things I see before me? he asked, and proceeded to answer the question himself. paying a glowing compliment to the bravery. enterprise and intelligence of the American peo- pie. and especially of the brave pio- neers who builded in the deserts of Arizona. who made Arizona what it is. and especially this particular part of it. He followed this by mention of the fame of Arizona already in her ex- ports to the Pacific coast.
 "Tell me Arizona is not capable of self-government,' said the speaker. ''I'd like to look on the face of the man who dares assert it; I am satisfied that none of the beautiful ladies pres ent today would look at him.

without peer. No other equal area west of the Mississippi river has more natural resources; her soil produces tl.e oranges and Times of Italy, the dates Of Egypt. the grapes of France. the cer- calls of the north and the cattle and sheep of the central states; her min eral wealth is unmeasCred. her mines of copper alone are producing bullion of the value of $35. GOO. coo annually.
 We declare that Arizona is justly entitled to admission as a. state firsr because she has the requisite number of people; second, because she has more than the requisite amount of wealth. third, because she has the ability and desire for lf-government: fourth. because her people have shown themselves to be first in patriotism ani loyalty to the union in time of peril. and finally. the admission of Arizona to statehood will. in addition to oar already acquired population and wealth cause rapid increase in development through the confidence inspired by tiIa knowledge of stability under state law.
 Be 1t further resolved: that conf . dently relying upon the sense of jus tice and liberality existing in both branches of congress we do ipost e:ir- nestly and respectfully entre.tt anu p+-
  pass an act enabling Arizona ;p take her proper place in the sisterhood of states.
