Last Saturday, October 9th, 1906.
at 10 a. M, the Democrats of Santa
Cruz county met in Marsh's Opera
House for the purpose of nominating
candidates to be voted for at the gen
eral election, November 6, next.
The convention was the most
harmonious ever held in Santa
Cruz county, and from every voting
precinct comes words of praise from
both Democrats and Republicans for
the splendid nominations made for
the different county and precinct Of
fees, and the strong, broad, platform
upon which the Democratic party of
Santa Cruz county stands fairly and
squarely. without any attempt to carry
water on both shoulders, as does the
Republican party, which is silent on
the statehood question, although it is
claimed the opponents of jointure with
New Mexico, were large majority on
the floor of the convention.
The Democratic party Of Santa
Cruz county is consistent, and is
simply following IN the footsteps OF
the national Democratic party. The
national Democratic party has oppos-
ed joining the territories of Arizona
and New Mexico; the Democracy of
Arizona, in convention assembled, has
opposed the merger, and the county
Democracy honestly and emphatically
opposes the proposition; hence the
county ticket goes before the people
acting sincerely and honestly on the
statehood and all other planks of its
platform.
Promptly at 10 o'clock, pr. Fl. w.
Purdy, chairman of the central COM
mittee, called the convention to order,
and on motion Hon. j. B. McClena-
han of Gro BIanco, was elected tenn
porary chairman and Henry Levin

We, the representatives of the De-
mocratic party of Santa Cruz county,
Arizona, in convention assembled,
present our candidates to the people
of this county, upon the following
declarations of principles:

under the proposed terms and con-
ditions.
Second-To those Republicans whose
patriotism rose superior to party
infences the people of Santa Cruz
county extend their most grateful
thanks.

tion of our delegate to Congress, Hon.

pector. and that his services in the
development of the county should be
thus recognized

bright-cOlored dragon fly was dain-
tily poised on the top of one of them,
as if in mockery of their expectations
that it would ever be drawn beneath
the surface of the water. They fshed
on in silence for several moments
without obtaining a suspicion of a
bite. Mikes eyes wandered slowly
from his float to the little brown jug,
and from the jug to Pats face, dis
covering that Pats optics had been
rivetted upon the same object and
was now gazing into his. "Alroight,"
answered Mike TO Pats mute appeal,

their poles into the ground, leaving
their lines dangin in the stream,

roots of the wide-spreading oak and
proceeded to 'cilibrate." The

pugnacious. The former mOurned a
brother who had departed this life
fifteen years before, while the latter
conf1ded to his friend that some day
he intended 10 return to Ireland and

and after yanquishing him, would then

viewed the proceedings with an in
nOcent and bland-!ike expression that
appealed strongly to the emotions of
the two fishermen. Not a sound dis
turbed the oppressive silence of the
forest save the musical ripple of the
water and the fute-like, indulating
notes of the feathered songster. The

attention to this gentle reminder, for
at that moment he was in that thToe
of estacy so familiar to fishermen,
when the fish is in the act of taking
the bait. Pat fished a moment in
silence, then suddenly gave vent TO
a cough and snort that startled all

two friends. Softly as a mothers
kiss falls upon the cheek Of her sleep
ing babe, it alighted upon the closed
eye of Pat OFlannagan, and. like a
diamond, scintillated upon the qulv-
ering eyelash. A large fly attracted
thither by the glittering beam, alight-
ed to inspect the shimmering phe-
nOmena. Uneasily moved the slum-
bering Irishman, and the fly few buzz
ing by his ear; very slowly the eye
lid rolled back, allowing the little
beam to rest upon the staring blue
eye. Gradually the other eye opened and
Pat rose to a sitting posture. HIS
faculties were in a complete muddle.
Mechanically his eyes wandered %
the face Of his sleeping companion,
then followed the contour Of his form
to his feet, thence along the grass,
finally resting upon the struggling,
writhing reptile; for a moment hiG
heart ceased its throbbing, as the con-
tOTtiOns of the snake in its efforts -
escape met his eyes. Quickly his
senses returned; surely 10 was a fish
and not a snake that should be hung
to the fatal hook Like a flash the
recollection Of the debauch OF the
previous few hours entered his throb-
bling brain Bounding TO his feet he
frantically screamed to his COM

ering their compOsure Pat suggested
that they re-cement their friendship
with "a dhrop of the crather," a prop
osition which Mike readily accepted.
The jug passed from one to the
other numerous times until finally
thew struck bottom and the empty yes
sci was pitched unceremOniOusly into
the stream Our friends, now loaded
to the gunwales, commenced to sing
patriotic song, but before they had
accomplished two lines, they rolled
over g.. on their backs and soon their
inharmonious shores indicated that
they were dead to the world and all
its troubles.
IN the meantime the poor little fish
had gasped out its life upon the sand
and now lay perfectly still, with its
white sides cleaning clearly amidst
the shadows surrounding it. A vim
dicative hiss coming from the direc-
ton of the water sounded ominously
upon the silence, then the ugly brown
head and quivering body Of a water
mocassin came into view from the

side, quickly it discovers the little
fish, and instantly darts towards it.
For a monument it critically examines
its prey, then stretching out to it's
full length, opens wide its jaw, and
the poor little fish disappears down
the reptiles throat; bit, alas the
snake had failed to count the cost of
its gluttony, for in turn 1t found itself
a prisoner, the penalty of it's greed.

Pat had been endeavoring to dis
entangle the two lines, but deslsted
upon being thus threatened; he drop
ped his pole and made a pass at Mike,
the latter c,inched and then both
struggled for the mastery. Neither
were in a condition to infiict serious
punishment and they hung helplessly
to each others neck. After strug-
Cling awhile they drew apart and
eyed each other maliciously. Mike
stood with his back to the stream.
Pat sprang suddenly forward and
cracked him singing blow on his
nose. knocking him clean over into
the creek, but, alas! the force of the
unge carried Pat onward, and before
he could regain his balance, fell with
a splash on top Of his late antagonist.

The Fourth of July was drawing
nea4 and our two friends decided TO
spend the day with rod and line upol
the banks of one of our many beauti-
full streams which, winding like silver
bands between emeTa d banks, and
through shady woodlands, finally
emptying into the blue waters Of our
incompatible land-locked bay.
AS the orb Of day gradually arose
on the eastern horizon, our two
friends sailed forth decorated with
odd Glory" in miniature pinned to
each lapel of their coats and fully
equipped with all the pharapheTna.ia
pertaining to the craft of fishermen,
not forgetting the little brown jug,
which tradition sayeth has such a
potential effect upon the size and
weight of the catch, as well as pro-
lection in ease of snake bites and
other ailments incidental to a fishing
trip.
Arriving upon the banks of the liz
tie stream, where the wide-spreading
branches of a magnificent live-oak
shaded them from the burning rays
of the July sun, the two friends threw
themselves upon the ground, and pre-
paratory to commencing operations,
and as a precautionary measure, test
ed the contents of the little brown
jug. Across upon the opposite side
a few cows cropped the green herb
age which grew luxuriantly in these
creek-side meadows, and lazily
switched the audacioUs fly from Their
sleek sides with the pendulum-like
sweep of their tufted tails. High up
on a dead limb, thrush trilled a
merry carroll, filing the woody glen
with a volume Of melody that was
enhancing and in harmony with the
glorious surroundings.
Dexterously impaling the wriggling
worm, they finally effected after several
futile attempts to land their hooks IN
the exact spot in which they wished
to fish, after which they seated them
selves upon the bank and waited
breathlessly for something to happen.
