A Curious Irish Tradition.

Ireland is a country rich in tradi-
tons, and in places every inch of
the ground has its queer history and
some quaint story attached to it.
For instance, not for from Belfast
there is a romantic old we'll in a
curious hollow of the hills called
Barnas gap. The well is known as
Barnas well and is filled at the bot
tom with white stones, the heather
around being covered with pieces of
rags. Close, too, is a large mound
composed Of stones, which is said to
cover the bones of holy friar long
since dead. Every visitor to the well
appears to make it practice of add
ing a stone to. the heap already
there, but for what reason it is i'm
possible to say.

ponderance in the county, parti- cularly if the republicans are wise
 in their nominations and steadfast
 in support of their ticket.
 So far as may be concerned the
 wisdom of the nominations, the outlook seems most excellent. There is not one of those named as possible candidates who would not be most excellent official, and they all stand well. They will go before representative convention in which every precinct in the county will be fairly represented. The nominations will be the fair choice of the party, and as such should receive the undivided sup port of the party. The only ques- ton which should enter the mind of the voter Is that Of fitness. Is the nominee of the party capable? Is he honest? If there be an affirm ative reply to that inquiry, then give him your ballot.
 One of the greatest causes for strife and dissension in the party in Santa Cruz county has been a to turn down capable men on account of personal feeling. In great part that disposition has died out. Let it entirely disappear, and the republican party in Santa Cruz county will be strong, har- and victorious.

THE announcement has been made of the appointment of Captain B. NJ. Leavell, U. s. A., retired, as adjutant general of the Arizona National Guard. Captain Leavell is well known in Arizona, having served here when he was lieuten- ant, stationed at Fort Huachuca and other posts. At one time he was detailed as inspector of the National Guard, in which position he was brought in contact with the organization, becoming thoroughly familiar with its wants and needs and its capabilities.

THE way TO SUCCESS.

This year the republican ticket
 has very good chance of carrying
 Santa Cruz county. The county is quite evenly divided anyway, the
 preponderance in favor of the demo-
 crats so slight that it can be easily
 overcome with a good ticket and
 good management. All that would
 then be required would be for all
 republicans to sink individual pre- ferences, acquiesce in the nomina-
 tions made by the convention and all pull together for success at the polls.
 During two years now the demo- cratic party has not had the most complete and thorough success in the management of the county affairs, and there has been a great
 deal of dissatisfaction which will manifest itself at the polls in Nov ember in votes against further supremacy of that party in county affairs. Assessments have been raised arbitrarily and with. most palpable favoritism, and the rate of taxation has been raised in order to hurry payment of the floating debt for which there was no real call nor necessity. The county started without funds, and for the first years expenses, in good part, certificates of indebtedness had to be issued, and, of course, when money did come into the treasury there was not sufficient to go around, which condition was to be expected, and was submitted to and acquiesced in by all interested. And all were willing to wait and give the county time to gradually work out of debt without casting any additional burden upon the people. By that plan it would have required some five or six years to have paid out and brought the county script to par. But the plan adopted has been to rush pay ment and raise script to par within a single term of office. It is ad- mitted that script is now at par or nearly so. But nearly every tax payer in the county has been made to sweat to do it.
 This mistaken course of policy i has made many votes for the re- publican ticket this fall-sufficient in number to handsomely over baIance the snoa1 dh,oocrat;c ,ra

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
PHOENIX, Sept. Is, 1902.

When at a distance from the scene of a nominating convention one hears all sorts of rumors and stories that are no longer lisped
 when the ground is reached where gather the delegates to do the work for which selected. Never has that fact been so plainly apparent as in the republican convention held this year. It has seemed from a distance that the nomination for delegate to congress on the repub- lican ticket was this year going begging. This seeming condition had much the semblance of truth when the Pima county freak Cooper-was brought forward and seriously considered as candi- date.
 But upon arriving on the ground all is found to be changed. Several good and true republicans, men of standing and ability, who would creditably represent the territory in the halls of congress. are willing to accept the position, and the friends of two are putting forth vigorous and active effort to secure the prize. They are Mir. w. F. Nichols, of Cochise, and Mir Robert E. Morrison, of Yavapai. The Pima freak has completely disappeared, and it is now seen that his absurd candidacy was masterly strata gem to sidetrack him in the race for nomination for district attorney in his own county, which accounts received of the convention at Tue son yesterday show to have been completely successful.
 At this writing the drift of the current seems toward Nichols, but arrival of the delegates from the north tonight will bring the Morri- son contingent from those counties, and there will be lively showing made in his behalf. Either gentle man would be acceptable to all re- publicans, and would made strong run.
 THURSDAY, Sept. IS, 1902.
 At late hour yesterday after noon the convention adjourned, its work completed. NIT. R. E. Morri- son was nominated for delegate to congress by close vote, receiving ballots to seventy-six ! cast for his opponent, Mir. W. F. [ Nichols. The contest was very close but exciting, yet without any acrimony or bitterness.
