 and the nominee was escorted to the stage. where he said that he had of- ten wondered how he got the nOmina- tion two years ago. He was a compar- ative stranger then. He could only surmise that he had been nominated solely on account of his good looks.
 In the course of the day there were three contests but they were good na- tured ones and had not been preceded by underhand manipulation. The first came when nominations for district att torney were called. Dr. Duffield left the chair and put the name of H. 5. Wilkinson before the convention. Col. McCord nominated w. P. Richardson. The result of the ballot was, Richard son 55, and Wilkinson fl. When MT. Richardson took the stage he predicted his election over Judge Baker if hard work would accomplish the victory. He further said that in the course of the campaign he expected to see every vot- CT in the territory regardless of his pol itics or color. A call went up for MT. Wilkinson, who delivered a brief but eloquent address. He had hoped, he said, that he would have the oppor- tunity of thanking the convention for the nomination but since that had been denied him he would express his thanks for having been given an opportunity to declare his allegiance to republican principles.
 About this time an unexpected con- test was sprung. The next thing in the order of business was the nomina- tion for sheriff. It was not understood that there would be any other candi- date than w. W. Cook, though some time ago it was reported that John c. Harden might come before the conven- tion. The name of the sheriff was put before the convention by c. H. Akers Then came the surprise when J. A Porterie introduced the name of Mir Harden. It was, however, one-sid- ed contest for Cook received 83 votes and Harden 12. On the motion of Mir Porterie the nomination was made unanimous.
 A. J. Peters was the next speaker. He said that twelve years ago he had nominated a man for the legislature on the republican ticket. He was so far as MT. Peters could remember the only man on the ticket elected that year. 1t therefore gave him great pleasure to nominate him for another office. He accordingly presented the name of Jno A. Marshall for treasurer. The nom ination was received with great ap- plause and MT. Marshall was made the candidate by exclamation.
 In the same unanimous way w. c. Foster was nominated for recorder and | w. H. Lee for county school superin- | tendent.
 There were three candidates for the two nominations for supervisor. C. | s. Stewart was named by accla- nation before the other nominations were made. For the remaining place | J. L. Cant and George AIkire were l brought before the convention The latter received G1 votes and the former 27. This brought the convention up to the legislative ticket. | Then came the making up of the leg islatlve ticket. James Bark was plac- 1 ed in nomination by A. T. Peters of | Tempe The mere mention of his name was a signal for prolonged applause and when it died away a motion to make the nomination unanimous was adopted. The nominees for the assem- ] ply were Winfield Scott, Nelson Brad ley, Watson PicHreI and D. A. SpauId- ing There were just enough to make up the ticket and the nominations hay ! ing been closed they were unanimously made the nominees of the convention.
 Then the business reverted to nam 1 ing of the candidates for the precinct | officers. All of them were not report ed to the convention but they will be announced later.
