OUGHT TO BE AUTHORITY

Following is what the Chicago In

5. Deneen and be il remembered. the
lnter-Oeean is a Republican sheet:
Far better for Illinois that such a
man as Lawrence B. Stringer, whose
character is known to all, should be
put in the governors chair. than such
a bowling sham. such a brazen pre-.
tender as Charles S. Deneen."

One woman's face like ghost that

One woman's love- that followed all

And Faith, though slain. that plead

And out of thorns you planted wove

And hallowed all its wounds with

That drifted, voiceless, up to God for

THE PLATFORM.

We, the democrats of Mariauoa county, In convention assembled, do hereby renew our allegiance 10 the great principles of democracy Us rlo- claimed by Jefferson, Jackson and William Jennings Bryan.
 We give unqualified endorsement to the splendid platform unanimously adopted by the St. Louis convention and pledge our hearty and loyal sup port to Alton B. Parker and Henry G. Davis, the nominees of that conven- tion.
 We applaud the splendid record made by our territorial delegation at the St Louis convention in securing the united pledge of the party to sim gle, separate and individual statehood for Arizona and hone rule while re- maining a territory. We take this op- portunity to express our profound ap- preciation of their steadfast devotion to the interests of the territory and loyalty to the democratic principles.
 To the republican party of the ter ritory we extend our sympathy and condolence that the love of federal patronage induced their party leaders to bend the obseqious knee of submis- sion to the enemies of statehood for Arizona and to return with a regret to report" a territorial blank for a territorial plank, covering their party with confusion and shame.
 With satisfaction we point to the manner in which the last democratic legislature carried out the pledges contained in the platform upon which they were elected. By the enactment of the Cowan bill the burden of taxa

RAIN AT ROOSEVELT
The Works at the Damsite Were Only
 Slightly Damaged.

Livingstone, Ariz., Aug. 29.-(SpecIaI correspondence to the Republican.)- Rain has prevailed in the surrounding country daily for nearly two weeks. There is a heavy rain falling at the present time and the indications are good that it will contiue indefinitely. Several washCuts have occurred on the PhoeniX-Roosevelt road and on the power canal line, although the dam age is of slight consequence.
 On the evening of Monday. Aug. 15. rain fell heavily all night and the in- take tunnel at the upper box was fill, ed With five feet of water and mud. Several on the other tunnels of the power canal line were also flooded but the contractors have succeeded in draining them and the damage was slight.
 Last Wednesday we had another heavy rainstoTm throughout the upper valley and all the creeks emptying into the Salt river were on a rampage A cloudburst up at the head of Pinto, re- suited in the creek running five feet high and a quarter of a mile wide In consequence of the heavy rains in the mountains Salt rive carried a large volume of water and Mir Kitchens re- ported a flow of from 10000 to 12,0O0 second feet at the guaging station at the junction of the Verde. The ordi- nary flow Is less, than 200 second feet.

more than month ago the Republican published what it was said was copy or the platform that would be intro duced yesterday As a matter of fact II was a copy. of it with the execution Of the Olney endorsement plank.
 A great many democrats fearing that there would be Bryan plank had op- posed any platform at all in this con vention and desired that the platforn, of the county nominating convention should be confined entirely to local matters. There was therefore a great deal of opposition to the report of the platform committee. It was headed bv Alfred Franklin and Vernon L. Clark who merely urged that a ulatform of any character was unnecessary at this time. The sentiment Of the convention seemed to demand a platform of some sort and Mir. Clark proposed to gratifv IL by the submission of a substitute The substitute did not differ appar- ently, at a casual reading of it. from the original. The name of Bryan was omitted, but further reading of it dis closed the omission of the Olney plank entirely.
 Then it was remembered for the first time that MT. Franklin is the law part ner of Frank Cox, the Southern Pa citic attorney and that Mr. Clark is the intimate friend of Col. Epes Ran dolph, who is in charge of the affairs of the Southern Pacific in this terri tory. The fight was on.
 THE PEACEFUL OPENING.
 The convention had been called to meet at O'Neill hall at ten o'clock and a little later it was called to order by Chairman Hayden of the central com mittee. George Purdy Bullard was ele- vated to the position of secretary. There was a nasty temporary organ iZation by the election of w. T. Smith as chairman and L. R. Kruger secre- tary. The following committees were appointed: On credentials. w. D. Bell. J. D. Loper, w. B. Cleary. N. A. San ders and s. r. Webb; on platform, w B. Cleary, Carl Hayden. s. F. Webb, Neri Osborn and r. T. Pomeroy. Af- ter the appointment of the commit tees and the report of the credentials committee, MT Hayden made his off, cial report of the work of the Arizona delegation to St. Louis. Things had not turned out there just as Mir. Hay den had expected But the next best thing was done. While Parker was in- ferior to Hearst he was better than no democrat at all. The main issue MT. Hayden believed was the color question. In the course of his dis course Mir. Hayden said that the white man must rule. by law if he could. but he must rule anyhow. MT. Hay den was for Mark Smith for congress because he was on speaking terms with David F. Hill. The spaaker made allusion to the work of the Arizona

HAD THEIR QUARREL
$. P. and Anti $. P. Dem-
 OCrdtS in Convention
Contrary to General Expectation the Delegates Yesterday Dug up Bone of Contention.

AS the Republican yesterday morn ing predicted the democratic county convention yesterday found an issue Under the placid surface there were the Ingredients Of q disturbance which early in the day began troubling the waters.
 The convention was divided on the subject of the Southern Pacific railroad of Arizona. TEe division came when the committee on platform reported among others a plank endorsing the course of George A. Olney, late member of the territorial board of equalization fin resigning when he was unable to bring his colleagues to raise the valu- ation of the roads mileage from s7,000 to s9,6cO. There was another plank classifying William J. Bryan among the fathers of the party. Some such plank had been anticipated and in fact
