REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
There Will Be Only One, Date Sep-
 tember IA.

The republican county convention will be held on September II and the primaries on September 10. There will be but one convention for the nomina- tion of candidates for the county offices and for the selection of delegates to the territorial, convention which will be held three days later.
 This was decided yesterday after noon at a meeting of the republican county central committee held at the offices of Millay & Christy. In the ab- sence of Chairman James F. Bark, Captain Christy was made vice chair man. There was a fair attendance of the committed. The matter of holding only one convention was unanimously agreed to though the members of the committee would have preferred a shorter county campaign. though after all it will not be really begun until the democratic nominations are made two weeks later.
 It was decided that the basis of rep resentation in the county convention should be one delegate from each pre- cinct, one for each twenty-five votes cast at the last election for w. w. Cook for sheriff and one for each ma jor fraction of the Cook vote. On this basis the vice chairman and the sec retary were authorized to make an ap- pOrtiOnment and publish it with the places for holding the convention and primaries. They are also authorized to name the officers of the primaries. Publication will be made within three or four days. The vice chairman and secretary also made q select commit tee to choose q Mexican republican and recommend him in the name of the committee to the county recorder for appointment as a registering off, cer.
 When the business of the committee for the day had been disposed of d motion was made to permit Carl Hay den, the chairman of the democratic central committee, to address the com- mittee on a matter of mutual interest. The motion was unanimously agreed to though there was a tacit under standing that if MT. Hayden should make use of the oportunity to fur ther his candidacy for the nomination for sheriff he would be dropped out of the second story window. MT. Hay den made TO allusion to democratic politics but said that some time ago he met Chairman Bark of the republi- can committee and they agreed that it would be a good thing if joint prima- ries could be held. Mr Hayden said that the subject had been brought up in his committee and he had been dele gated to bring the subject before the republican committee.
 Vice Chairman Christy asked him if the time for the holding of the demo- cratic primaries had been fixed. MT. Hayden replied that they had been or dered to be held on September 24 Cap tain Christy said on the part of the committee said that he regretted that the arrangement suggested by Mir Hayden could not be made. On account of the date of the republican territorial convention, September r, and on ac- count of the fact that the committee had decided to hold only one conven- tion the county primaries would have to be held some time prior to the time of the holding of the territorial convention.
 Another meeting of the central com mittee will be held next Saturday at half past two o'clock for a general discussion of matters of interest to the party.
