Arizona republican., 1902-09-16

The Democratic county convention yesterday was the most harmonious coming together of democrats since the organization of the party in the coun- ty. It was the kind of harmony and peace that follows the march of a de- vastating army through a conquered land The victims of the late primaries offered no resistance but asked for quarter which was grudgingly given. The conquerors took away from some of their brethren their share of the spells of war and restored it to the conquered and pleading foe. That is one way to preserve an esprit de corps never before tried in politics.
 The following ticket, compromising and i'll assorted was the result:
 For member of the council Charles Peterson of Mesa.
 Formembers of the assembly. NJ. A. Stanford of Phoenix; J. w Woolf of Tempe; T. T. Powers and George U. Collins of Phoenix.
 For sheriff, s. s. Stout.
 For district attorney. A. C. Baker.
 For treasurer. J. Elliott Walker.
 For probate judge. J. H. Langston.
 For recorder. B F. McFall.
 For superintendent of public instruc- ton, A. H. Fulton.
 For surveyor. G. w. Sturtevant.
 For supervisors, A. Hunsaker and Jake Miller
 As had been expected Probate Judge Langston and Recorder B. F. McFall were renominated.' They were under stood to be candidates of the Young Mems Democratic club and it was supposed that they had participated in the overwhelming defeat of the club last Wednesday. If the convention had been held the next day after the primaries they would have had no foot ing in the convention, but a movement said to be in the interest of peace be- tween the factions was segun and was followed up to the point of success. II was evident on Sunday that it would succeed. One of the victorious dele gates was asked what course the con- vention would likely take with the in- surgents. He replied: 1T don't know yet; they're throwing chunks of har- mony at us as big as brick bats and maybe they'll fetch us.'
 The extreme humiliation of the club was illustrated in the reiterated state ments of its members in nominating or seconding the nominations of the candidates. that they were not the can didates of the club, that they were be- ing opposed by some of the members of the club, so arguing by inference that the sins of the club ought not to be visited upon them.
 The only event of the day that creat- ed a ripple of surprise was the defeat ing of Dr. Ford for renomination for the council. It has not yet been wholly accounted for. It was charged that he had been making terms with the club in the interest of Sanders for sheriff. That no doubt accounted for a falling off on the Jeffersonian side. The mem- bers of the club on the other hand had not forgotten the part taken by Dr. Ford in the late mass meeting to dis- cuss the question of the water com pany's franchise. So he was ground beneath the upper an the neither mill stones.
 It can hardly be said that the defeat of Hon. J. P. Ivy for renomin2 tion for the legislative assembly was looked for It was perhaps not intended There were so many candidates placed in nomination that in the course of the balloting the delegates became confus- ed and MT. Ivy was overlooked until Il was too late.
 There were few passages at arms oI rather at tongue during the day There were some heavily yelled in nuendoes. Now and then there were others covered with very thin gauge.
 The Jeffersonians in closing the con- vcntiOn took care to put the demo cratic politics of the county into what they believed to be good and safe hands for the next two years.
