as much work as had been cut out for 1t. It took a recess Tor two weeks ar ter having gone through with only one number of the programme But all the work that was urgently required was performed and the rest will not suffer by waiting. Nobody but the democrats are dissatisfied with the recess.
 Only delegates to the territorial con vention were chosen and nominations were made by the various pre- cincts of the precinct officers. The bus mess of making nominations for the county offices will be performed at the expiration of the recess, September 2S. which coincidentaily is the day after the democratic county convention. The propriety of taking a recess began to be considered soon after the arrival in the city of Chairman Bark of the cen tral committee It was not until noon. however that it was finally decided up- on and when it was announced there was no opposition.
 It was stated that the reason for the ] intermission was not particularly anx- lety 10 weigh the strength of the demo- l cratic ticket but to ascertain from what localities the legislative and sup ervisoral tickets would be made up. Tor the other county offices all the candidates had been chosen but all the candidates for supervisor and for the legislature had not come forward. The following delegates to the terri torial convention at Prescott next Sat- urday were selected: Geo. & Irwin. Joseph Montgomery, W. F. Dent. Doa- ald Mcqueen. B. A. Fowler, I. M. Christy, T. J. Prescott. Garrett Ryan. A J Edwards, Walter Bennett. George Christ, Jr., Ned Creighton. H. E. St- l Ia ID
 J. A. Marshall Henry Davis. Jesus Melendrez, William Evans, Joan ISraI- lord, Dr. C. H. Jones. Walter Wilbur. .. M Etter, J. J. Hodnett. Ernest Hall. | Winfield Scott, E. L. Andrews. Joseph
 Il. kibbey. Harry L. Sanlorn and w r. Richardson. The delegates were not | instructed.
 | The convention was called to order in the Hardwick theater a iitt.e after ten o'clock by Chairman Bark of the central committee. The stage of the | theater was decorated with American flags and portraits of Washington. Lin coln' Mckinley, Roosevelt and Cover
 nor Brodie. There was also another picture of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. On
 the right of the stage there was a table i rom which four streamers of crape de pended. Chairman Bark having called the convention to order, pointed to the
 taole and his eyes grew moist. That
 was the desk at which it was thought a year ago that John L. Burrows. the
 late secretary of the committed would
 be sitting. Chairman Bark paid feel
 ing tribute to his late associate in the
 arduous work of the last campaign. A
 braver and a more generous man he
 had never met. For six months before l he died he went about under a death l sentence, for phy sician had told him | that that was the limit of his life His | ooom made no change in his demeanor
 and he did not tell even his wife or his
 most intimate friends until just before
 his death of the judgment which mad
 been pronounced upon him.
 | When a call was made for nomina- l tons for temporary chairman Hugh
 Creighton presented the name of Judge | Street. George D. Christy nominated Judge Kibbey. There was no further 1 contest and Judge Kibbey took the | chair He addressed the conventson
 briefly, speaking of the county, terri | torial and national affairs. He said that | the republican party at this time needs | no inspiration. for it is already innspir- l ed with the memory of the achieve
 ments of forty years. His address. es- pecially to his allsions to the president
 and statehood. was received with hearty applause.
 George s. Irwin of Mesa was made
 temporary secretary and the following
 committees were appointed: On ere
 dentials: F. w. Potter. L. L. Plank.
 w. A. Crump. IL A. Brizzee and Wat Icon Pickrell; on permanent organiza-
 ton and order of business. H. B. St l Claire, H. M. Lewis. H. I. Latham. J.
 B. Mullen and Walter Jones.
 1 While these committees were engaS-
 ed in the preparation of their reports
 w. F. Crump was called to tht stage
 and delivered the address of the day
 and by the way an abler convne;ion
 speech was never heard in Pkoenix. | Mr. Crumps diction was elegant. his
 manner attractive and his reasoning clear. He presented the aims of both
 the great parties and reviewed the per | formances of both in recent years
 dia awing from their respective claims upon the confidence of. the country
 Mr. Crump showed that the repu bli- can party had accomplished much. The | oemocratic party in the St. Louis con [Nention had attempted to promise sauc hut had in reality promised nothing. Mir. Crump handled the negro .Iue~-
 tiUn in an able manner and with feel ing for he is a member of tha: race. l Concluding he said: "If the republi- caR party is continued in power then will confidence raise anew its shining head, cast its effulgent rays into every crevice and corner Of this land of ourS, open up our latent resources and bring to us boGn1less prosperity whica shall be common to all our people. There is an Arab proverb whics says that man is four: he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. He is a fool shun him:
