The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-15

order of business and permanent or
ganiZation. w. J. Kirkpatrick, E. E
Serrine and H. B. Tenney composed
this committee.
Another committee of three, consist.
ing of Kirt Hart, John B. Wright ana
Hr. Fenner, was then appointed on
platform and resolutions. Following
these appointments an adjournment
was taken until o'clock, to allow the
committees to report.
The delegates proceeded to their
work this morning in a business-like
manner. There was practically moth
ing for them to do, because this part
of the program had been cut and dried
by the local machine at a caucus which
was held in the city hall last evening.
Every effort was made to stay the
breaking of the impending storm at
least during the temporary organiZa-
| tion. A glance at the organization
will show how cleverly the scheme was
manipulated. The bosses sat meekIY
| in the back seats, and their mouth
pieces did the work. The first attempt
at harmony was the election of ColoDaI
Zabriskie as temporary chairman by
the same clique that knitted him last
Wednesday. His friend Kirkpatrick
was appeased by being allowed tc
make the motion. The next move at
conciliation was the naming of John
Nets as temporary secretary. 1t will
be remembered that the push" threw
the would-be leader of the Infants
down at the primaries, and the way
he was received back into the fold this
morning was very like that ''long-lost
brother The committees show a
like attempt at harmony. There was
an absolute lack of enthusiasm during
the morning session.
At the caucus of the machine leaders
last night it was determined to offer
the nomination for sheriff to w. c.,
Cooper, whom the bosses defeated at
the primaries for the district attorney
ship nomination. 1t was also agreed
to try to apease Justice Wilson for
depriving him of the nomination for
justice of the peace by offering him the
Office of deputy sheriff under Cooper.
A cog of the machine was selected to
! lay these proposals before Cooper and
Wilson on harmony dish but it Is
believed that neither gentleman will
accept Cooper does not care for the
office of sheriff, and knows right well
that neither he nor any other Repub-
lica mean beat Frank Murphy, who will
be renominated by the Democrats.
Wilson wants the nomination for
justice of the peace or nothing.
When the convention reassembled in
the afternoon THE committees were
ready to report. The platform ''re-
news fealty to the Republican party
and praises it without reservation. II
deplores the death of Mckinley and
praises the administration of Roose-
welt and Brodie. 1t then declares:
We call upon the next legislature to
memorialize Congress to relieve Pima
county from the burden which has been
laid upoIl the tax payers in the unjust
legallZation of the Narrow Gauge

grafton to the end that the dignity
o. Anaecican workmen may be pro-
tected from the pauper labor of Eu-
rope.
We are earnestly in favor of State
hood, and we call upon our represent,
ative and our friends in Congress who
haze faithfully maintained our inter
ests il the cause of Statehood to agai n
rally with all their strength in the sup
port of this great measure, so dear tc
the hearts of all Arizonians.
We call upon all friends of good gov
g nment throughout the country to
rally to the support of the Republican
ticket, which represents, in it's fullest
sense. the best interests of the people, %
Fred Fleishman was made perma-

and faithful service, it was recon-
mended that nomination for the
office of recorder be passed.
