choosing of MG. Webb was unani-
 nous. Not only was his nomina-
 tion by the caucus unanimots. but
 his election in the Assembly was also
 unanimous. The Republicans placed
 in nomination for Speaker Mr Pick
 rell. of Maricopa county. The call
 of the roll resulted in a strict party
 vote, hut before the result was all .pcunced. upon motion of MT. Kennedy,
 of Pima county. the election of Mir.
 Webb for Speaker was mace unani-
 nous. In the election of Mir. Webb a deserved compliment has been paid
 to Graham county. where the Demo cratic party has been steadfast.y sup
 ported and upheld for twentyfour
 years, or since the organization of the county. Mr Webb was nominated
 in the Assembly for the position of
 Speaker by his democratic rival MT
 Timmos. in few brief remarks. Mr
 Bailey. Cn behalf of Cochise. second eC the nomination; but the real nonl-
 mating speech was made by Lamar Cobb, the colleague of MT Webb from Graham. Mir Cobb was flow cry in theb ETAOIN TAOINHRDL cry and earnest in the laudation Of Graham county because of it's lasting loyalty tc the Democratic party. and TecCunjed the long and faithful party service of Mir. Webb in holding aloft the Democratic banner in what had been the banner county almost con ivcusly since its organization. MT Cobb is regarded as one of the bright est members of the Assembly. and his speech demonstrated that he will attract attention during the discus sion5 which will take place during the session.
 The Governor in his message reconl-
 mends that the investigating commit tee make a thorough and complete ex- animation Of the condition of all the institutions of the Territory. md es- Pecially he advised their gathering knowledge concerning the peniten- uary and the industrial school. so that the coalition and needs of these m portant institutions may be thorough !y understood by the legislature when bills for their maintenance and af- fecting them come up for action. The Governor recommends in his message Ihe establishment of a branch Leni- Jentiary somewhere in the territory near agricultural lands or a stone quarry that the inmates nay be profit ably employed. This recommends ton naturally attracted much sttcn- ton. In the past, legislatures have been occupied in considering proposed prison removal bills and in discus sions over these proposals the idea of providing two prisons for ArzoDa has been discussed. but no rec3mmeu- daticn has ever before been IcaGa by the Governor. Councilman NGgert, of Yuma regards the recommends
 tion iwAjh isome suspicioni feaTirg that it means an attempt Je take away from Yuma the present pri5on It it not likely the recommendation of tho Governor vii be acted upon at this session. as it tcDecdel that Nugent would be able to tlcck any measure that had Tor i;2 purpose tie disturbance of the prison now at Yuma. If a branch prison were es- tabished. either in northern or south ern Arizona, it is pretty certain that the old prison at Yuma would not much longer remain there. las the population of the territory would sug- gest that fl two prisons were to be maintained in Arizona, one should e in the vicinity of Prescott ard Ike other somewhere south Of Tucson
