see a way to refrain from forcing me to accept the nomination at this time, and that you will find some other man who will meet with year sppssval, and . man whom the convention can feel is sure winner. want to go on rec. ord as saying that I will heartily sup. port any candidate the convention sees At to select, and that I do trust you will not ask me to accept this nomina. tion.n
 The chair put the question on closing the nominations, which carried, and the secrctary was instructed to cast the vote of the entire convention for Mir. Morrison.
 "spcech Speech! was the cry that then rcsounded throughout the auditor. ium. In answer to the calls Mr. Nor. rison arose, and, in part, addressed the convention as folfows:
 4 Dsilliaut AdASsss.
 {" Mir. Chairman, and delegates of this Convention:
 "Fourteen years ago, this very month, the Republican party honored me with the nomination for District At. torney.. I was comparatively unknown, then, but as your candidate I was elected. Two years later the same honor was again conferred upon me, and I entered the campaign, and was again elected, due to the fact that I have in this county the best friends that . man ever had in Gods world. Two years rolled on, and became tho United States Attorney for this Terri tory, appointed by one of the grandest men that ever graced the Presidential chair, the murdered and lamented William Mckinley. (Great cheering.)
 "I also want to speak of another grand Ohio man, Senator Foraker, and right here let me add that it was through the efforts of this staunch Re. publican that we are not now tied to the skirts of the Territory of New Mexico. (Applause.)
 Apparently the time has come in the history of Yavapai county when it is necessary for the Republicans to go into the thick of the battle and fight for good government. I say to you, that today, in Yavapai county, con dition of affairs exists which calls for undying support of the upright and honor loving citizens to the cause of clean government. You have named strong ticket today, one that any man would take pride in being identified with. ana on that ticket not the least of importance, is our staunch old friend, Jim Doran.
 "Once before you nominated Fred Brccht to help you carry your standard to victory. and now it seems that once again you call upon the old war horses of the Republican party in Yavapai county to fight the battles against Democratic misrule. (Applause.)

But with all that l want t' thank you. gentlemen of the conven tion. for the nomination from the bot tom of my heart, I thank you, sine you have rendered 1t once again to me
 "Don't think that to secure th nomination means to win. for ma to win in Ysvnpai county on the R' publican ticket must secure Dcmocrati votes. Therefore, he must start wit the solid Republican vote, and work di
 igently and industriously to see that th entire ticket is elected. Don't thin that because you have heard that tn Democrats were fighting that we wi | nave Wuih-uNcT, TUT " "''n h'"'' y"
 will find them shoulder to shouldc
 fighting for victory, just as hard
 we will be fighting.
 I 'I believe that the time has com
 when the people of Yavapai count
 realize that the offices in that th'
 court house over there (pointing
 the plsza) are not being conducte
 properly, and when they see our tiek'
 they will rcctify and change the cond

 'I have heard that the Democrats, !
 their convention, adopted the plan {
 making their nominees arise before Il
