Arizona republican., 1903-01-19

The only northern man who did not go in was Kean St. Charles of Mohave. One of the conditions of this agree lment was that C. w. Miller should be chief clerk and R. 2. Mac!ay of Pinal assistant chief clerk. There was also a nebulous understanding about the distribution of the other appointiVe offices. The Powers people were not sure that they could hold Assembly, man Henry from Gila but they were anxious to get into a caucus and one was called to be held al the court house at seven o'clock. When the time came the southern members refused to go in and bets were offered that the houre would not be able to organize today. With the aid of four republican mem bers the COwan people had it in their power to create a deadlock. If they should succeed in winning Assembly man Henry over the deadlock without the aid of the republicans would be ccr- tain. The republican members were al all times willing to do anything in j their power for the establishment of a deadlock.
 The minority finally decided to go into caucus and CnCe inside the o. ganization was easy. The original terms of the agreement were carried cut as to the speaker and the chief cleTz and the assistant chief cler;.5. linen came the distribution of the other places. Maricopa having secured ihe two most important places in the or- ganization. could not ask for anything else. The speaker, however. it was agreed, should be allowed to name his own clerk following the practice which has prevailed since the creation of that office The rest Of the places were divided among the other counties The appcrtionment was completed and the delegations from the several counties will make the appointments today.
 THE COUNCIL.
 An agreement for the organization ci the council was arrived at without much difficulty. It was generally un- derstood that if Eugene S. Ives of una returned to the capital any time before the converting of the Legislature he would be elected. There was some latent opposition to him but it could net gain an impetus It was thought as late as Saturday afternoon that Henry F. Ashurst Of Coconino might be the president though it was conceded that the most formidable opponent Mir. Ives | A. II Of Cochiee Mr. Packard would not however, make a definite announce ment of his candidacy He let if be understood that it was contingent upon other events: that if he could secure certain promises in the way Of legisla- ton from MT. Ives and his friends he would not be a candidate. Those promises were evidently secured for rom the moment of MT. Ives arrival Tn the city at 10 o'clock of Saturday night MT. Packard became one of his supporters for the office of president.
 The question of the organize. .ion of the council was therefore practically settled before midnight of Saturday There were of course the appointments or the clerks and the other attaches of the council to be disposed Of and that was done yesterday in a manner not satisfactory to all the democrats of the territory. Pinal county is in revolt not against the party but against that faction of it with which MT Ives has allied himself. The chief clerk oi the council is J. C. Evans of Globe and the assistant chief clerk is George Truman of Final the assistant chief clerk of the same house two years ago
 The selection of MT. Truman was vigorously opposed by the regular democracy of Pinal, headed by Hon. . Thomas F. Weedin of the Florence i Blade. The charge made against Mir Truman by MT. Weedin is that he is not democrat but that he was last fall bolter from the party and that he was repudiated by thedemocracy of the county.
 Tie revolt in Pinal last fall is now a part of the political history of Ari- zona- The fight arose over the proposi- tion for the renomination of w. C. | Truman for sheriff There was q con test in the convention instituted by Mr Weedin and the Florence precinct which had been carried by the Truman faction was thrown out. The Truman people withdrew from the convention and nominated a ticket. The regular democratic ticket was elected by a ma jority of 104 in a vote of 59O.
 II MT. Truman owes his appointment to George P. Blair who went out of the convention with the Truman faction. MT. Blair as member of the council two years ago was a close associate of Mr. Ives and it was through him that Mir. Truman was made a part of the com bination. It was done by a single vote. II Councilmen Ashurst Moorehead and Whiteside opposed the selection of ! Mir Truman for political reasons, but | they were overru'ed.
