 The secretary was then ordered to read the minutes of the previous meeting, which was held on the 3rd of July. The minutes were read and when it came time to approve the minutes, the first test of strength was shown. A roll call was demanded and when the result was announced + showed 25 in favor of approving. and 16 against. From this time on the meeting was divided. Cassidy was the leader of the McReynolds' faction. and the leadership of the mi norfty was divided between Shilliam, Folsom and Crowley. Before the completion of the vote on the adop- tion of the minutes. there was a delay on account of the absence of t. l.. Jones, but after he had heard the minutes read. he voted in the nega- tive. Crowley, of Wilcox, asked for the reading Of the minutes of the last county convention, which was object ed to by Cassidy, but after a short, heated speech by Crowley, Cassidy withdrew his objection, and the min utes relating to the appointment of the central committee were read.
 The next consideration was that of the time and place at which the dele gates to the county convention should be elected. A motion was made by Cassidy to leave this matter to the executive committee of the central committee. The motion was carried. Cassidy made a motion that the next convention he held at Tombstone. but when Shilliam suggested Bisbee, Cassidy withdrew his motion and Bis bee WAS selected.
 Sections and ' of the published order of business were passed over, there being no objection. No. ' re- lated to the selection of an official newspaper.

Cassidy intro duced resolution to the effect that one delegate would be apportioned for each twenty-five votes or majority fraction thereof, cast for McCabe in the last campaign for the office of sheriff. The resolution was adopted
 The next consideration was, wheth- CT delegates to the territorial con- Feption should be elected by primaries or whether they should be appointed by the committee, Folsom moved that the delegates be elected by pri- mary election. but Cassidy's amend nlent to the effect that committee of three should be appointed by the chair to select the delegates, was car Tfed, and the original motion lost. The vote WAS 27 to 13.
 Chairman McReynolds appointed James Blair. of Bisbee; NJ E. Cas- sidy and Gus Barron, of Tombstone.
 The resignation of c. E. Rinehart, as secretary of the committee, was accepted on motion by Cassidy, sec onded by Blair. Cassidy then nomi- hated Thomas Tate to fill the vacancy Abrams took the floor and stated some objections to the selection of Tate as secretary. He desgired to know whether Tate was acauaiptea with shorthand and other aualifica- tions, and on being told that he was miner, stated that some other man ought to be selected. Shilliam nomi- hated Folsom for the office. A roll call was ordered and tbe resolution showed 25 for Tate and 1G for Fol som.
 Cassidy then introduced a resolution to the effect that the delegation to the county convention should be in Structed to vote as a unit on all Ques-i tions. Crowley took the floor and at lacked this resolution. Shilliam fol- lowed, attacking the resolution bitter ly and incidentally The politics of Chairman McReynclds Among other things, he served notice on the chair man and the majority that the method of railroading politics had 10 be re- Hsed. He claimed that he spoke the sentiment of the vast majority of the Republicans of the county when he denounced the meeting which was held on the 3rd of July. Shilliam then stated that McReynoIds had been a Democrat when he was at Nogales in 1900, and expressed himself as be- ing glad to see him in the Republican ranks, but said that he was not Tn favor of giving him any job in the Re, publican camp until he had served a term of probation, and demonstrated that he was entirely freed from the defilement of ever having been one of the unwashed. He was going on to say that McReynolds had no right to the chairmanship when Cassidy tried to make point of order, but l was overruled. Shilliam said that un- less every man was given a fair and | square deal and not gagged by the 1 unit rule, the Republican party need not look for the support of the people l of -Cochise County. Shillisnn received a round of applause from delegates | and spectators.
 Crowley took the floor and joined I issue with SbilIiam on the question |
