 The convention of yesterday was a continuation of the other. the same organization meeting at the same place after lapse of just two weeks. Judae klbbey, the chairman of the conveu- ton, was unable to be present yester- day and the convention was called To order by Chairman Jas. F. Bark Of the county central committee. 1 On account of the absence of so--e | of the delegates who-had sent proxies ] a revision of the report of the central | committee became necessary. When | the revised report had been adopted pr. l William Dufield was elected perma- nent chairman. Taking the chair Dr. 1 Dufheld said that this was no time for | a speech or few remarks. The COR vention had passed that stage Of it's | being and the time had come for it's | doing Let, he said, the war cry Of | the party in the county be "EHciency.-' That word was taken up by subsequent speakers and was made the slogan or the party.

B. A. Fowler in the course of the speeches provoked Outbursts Of ap- plause.
 Before proceeding to the nomination
 Of candidates the following resolution
 offered by James Bark was adopted
 with a hurrah:
 Resolved, that the republicans Of
 MaricOpa county in convention assem-
 bled enthusiastically endorse the nonli-
 nation of the Hon B. A. Fowler as
 candidate for delegate in congress and pledge to him our earnest and cordial support. We endorse the
 man who docs things"
 The following resolution was offered by Charles H. Akers and was also adopted:
 Resolved. that we condemn the practice of the legislative assembly iu
 the employment of a useIessIy large
 number Of clerks. The employment Of
 supernumerary clerks is extravaEant.
 inefficient and therefore inexcusab bIe. We therefore pledge our legislativ.
 candidates in the event of their cleo ton to oppose the practice and to use
 their best endeavOrs to prevent 1t and to insist upon the employment of only
 such clerks as may be necessary to properly and economically perform the
 necessary clerical duties of the Iegis-
 latUre and that in such employment efficiency and industry be the qualifica- ! tiOns demanded"
 MT. AkeTs said in relation to the res
 olution that the clerk hire of the last
 legislature amounted to Sz2. 900. This 2 enormous sum so recklessly expended
 came directly from the taxpayers oi
 the territory. There is an error in the figures. What MT. Akers had in mind twas the total expense of the legfsla-
 ture to the territory exclusive Of tho amount allowed by the general govern
 ment for carrying on the legislature
 This expense was something more than f S22 CSe0, but more than Sl2O0G of that
 went for the payment of clerks. svyhc , outnUmbered the members of the leg ! isIature three to one.
