U. s. Marshal Mccord Makes Capture.

Colonel Myron H. McCord, United States marshal of Arizona, left Phoe nix on Tuesday last for St. Louis He told but few of his friends about his proposed journey, for his mission was mainly personal one, the nature of which would better be told in a nice little story after his departure. He is, of course, going to see the Fair, but his principal purpose is to wed Miss Mary Emma Winslow, which i'm portant event is scheduled for the 10th of August, the nuptials to be cele- brated at the residence of R. C. Wins low, brother of the bride-to-be, and whose home is in the Worlds Fair city. After the wedding, a couple of weeks will be spent in viewing the wonders of the exposition, after which Colonel and Mrs. McCord will come direct to Phoenix and be at home at his residence, 1901 West Adams street.

Abraham Lincoln was the best poli- tician in his day. He was one of the best that American public life has pro- duced. His political creed was felic- itously expressed in his famous sen tence: ''You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the peo- pie some of the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time. :" This was rule of absolute honesty.

to my mind it is high time we cut down the representation In convention not only of the territories where no electoral vote is registered, but in such states as al- ways cast their electoral votes for the democratic ticket.
 Representation in the convention should be a reasonable representative of the number of republican votes cast, and these states and territories not out of mere sentiment, be given as many votes as that always cast their electoral votes for the republican candidate.
 The Alaska member of the committee, W. D. Grant, speaking for the amend ment, said that his territory with it's great growth asked the extra represen- tation to be on a footing of equality with the other territories.
 MT Nixon protested that his objections were not raised particularly against Alaska, but to the whole system, which, fl ado pted, gave about 42 votes in the convention to the territories, enough to control on any close proposition. "I rather agree with the late Senator Quay" he said, "who believed in reducing rather than increasing the votes of these states that do little or nothing to aid the party Let the reward for republican majorities be increased representation and the pun ishment for failure to assist a reduced representation
 South and West Solid.
 The speaker was vigorously applauded, but the vote on the motion to allow Alaska increased representation. was 21 ayes to 9 noes. the southern and western states voting solidly for it.
 The committee then adopted the rules of the last convention and the Fifty fourth congress-, as rules for the conven- tion. with these amendments.
 Rule to read: The convention shall consist of number of delegates from each state equal to double the number of senators and representatives in congress; six delegates each from the territories Of Arizona, Indian Territory. New Mex leo, Alaska and Oklahoma; six from Por- to Rico with two votes, six from the Philippines with two votes, six from Ha- wall and two from the District of Colum- bia.
 Rule relative to voting and rules 10 and 12 are amended to fit the above condi- tion.
 Rule 12 is amended so as to provide that twenty days before the date set for the national convention, complete list of delegates and alternates with notices of contests must be filed with the national committee. After the committee adjourn ed MT. Nixon said that he did not intend to bring the matter before the convention but he understood that the Quay propo- sition to reduce the southern states repre- sentation might come up and if 1t did he would seek to amend it, so as to also reduce the territorial representation.
