 THE COUNTY CONVENTION.-- The republican county convention for the selection of delegates to the terri torial convention at Tucson which will nominate six delegates and six alter mates to the national republican con Vention will be held at the Doris theater today. It will be the most harmonious gathering of republicans ever held in this county. No contests are reported from any precinct and, in fact, there was no contest in any pre- cinct at the primaries. There will, of course, until the convention has ex- pressed itself be differences uf opinion
 regarding the personnel of the delega ton to be sent to Tucson but that will be ah unimportant matter which will
 be quickly settled. There will be no difference of opinion as to what the delegation shall do after it is seated in the territorial convention. Therefore in the nature of things. the convention today ought not last long.
