The Border Viis::s ss;cr!sF's Inter ss:iag Story of the Most Earnaa- iaus Democratic Convention Ever Held il the County.

At ? o'clock last Saturday afternoon somebody,-I think it was Mark Lulley, yelled something, and great crowd of staunch Democrats from Nogales and other parts of Santa Cruz county, filed into Marsh's Opera House, the delegates inside the fence For while there was nothing doing the fitful sunlight made shining mark of Louis Lulley' s bald head; while the glasses and the serious demeanor of his friend Saxhang completed a combina- ton that caused the assembly to take off their hats and speak in whispers.
 After time Doctor Purdy, chair man of the county central committee, wearing a dignihed expression, well fitting clothes and a cigarette, called the meeting to order. The call for the meeting was read and Henry Levin was unanimously elected chairman.
 The Chair made a short and very appropriate speech from a paper which 1t held in its hand, and after the election of Juan B. Elias as secre- tary, appointed committees on creden- tials, on platform and resolutions and on order of business.
 Then Chalmers said that the task of drawing up 9 platform was 50 extra e6dsaif e5diainriiI Eaish in rt5a eae ass, and proposed an all-pight session; but thIs was finally left to the chair who ordered recess till 3:3O-
 At the appointed time the delegates filed in again, the various committee men looking worn and tired. the effects of strenous brain work for the honor of the party.-The atmosphere looked blacker, also.-Doherty lit another cigar
 The temporary chairman and secre- tary were made permanent. Purdy of credentials made report showing the following delegates present in person or by proxy:

 Chalmers read a platform he had brought in his pocket all the way from Lochiel, which was short and sweet, called forth applause and was adopted, although 1t made ho mention of Gen eral Jackson
 Here 1t is:
 "We, the Democrats in county con ventioH assembled, reaffirm our belief Tn the time honored principles of the great party of the people; our adher- ence to it for years, battling against our common foe, the arch enemy of the poor, the founding of the trusts the Republican party.
 We heartily endorse every line of the grand state paper, the platform adopted at St. Louis.
 ''We ratify the nomination of that grand jurist, that eminent statesman, the Hon. Alton Brooks Parker.
 I've heartily favor the nomination of that peerless Arizonian, the Hon Marcus A. Smith and pled.e that if elected he can do more to pr event the dastardly attempt to merge our fair territory with New Mexico; that the will of our people will be obeyed to the letter.
 "We heartily ia vor and hereby ratify the nomination of Hon. N. ". Bernard as joint councilman from Santa Cruz and Pima counties, believing the in terests of our two counties will be safe in IS hands "
