THE CONVENTION.

The republican territorial conven- tion held yesterday in the Olympic theater was a typical conference of the grand old party, surging with an enthusiasm born of spontaniety, that presages success at the polls. In like proportions it echoed the po- litical requiem of Marcus A. Smith and the democratic cabal which for years has made music for the mean ingless dances of the Arizona popu- lace, on the sounding brass and tinkling cymbals of democracy and statehood.
 As predicted in yesterday morn ing's issue, the democratic press and the democratic leaders who have been whistling to keep their courage up, and hoping to profit by some false step of the republican party yester- day, will find cold comfort in the recital of the convention events.
 Respecting Ralph H. Cameron and his candidacy The Republican will in due time treat comprehensively. It is too big a subject to give the attention it desreves at a late hour on Saturday night Sufficient to say he is the candidate of the re- publican party, which has every right and reason to expect that he will be the next and the last of Arizona's delegates to congress.

NATHAN CAKES MURPHY

In an instant yesterday the territorial republican conven- tion was transformed from a ioIlification meeting into an as- semblage of sadly mute citizens of Arizona. The cause of the transformation was the news that Nathan Oakes Murphy was dead.
 With a shock it was brought home to the delegates that the smiling, kindly face of Cover nor Murphy would never be
 seen in another convention; that the distinguished states man and citizen whom the re- publicans of Arizona had been so often delighted to hOnOr-the man who had twice filled the office of governor of Arizona, and had twice been nominated to congress by the republicans of Arizona. and was once the territory's delegate in con- gress-was no longer living. Practically every man in the convention could say he had lost a personal friend.
 And so it will be throughout Arizona as the news spreads that Governor Murphy is dead there will be a feeling of sad ness in every community.
 Rugged, candid, big-hearted Oakes Murphy-the Oakes known to all of us as always ready for a fight and still read fer to forgive and forget-is dead.
 Not only have thousands of citizens lost a cherished per sonal friend in the death of Oakes Murphy, but Arizona has lost one of her greatest and most loyal sons. His superior equipment for public affairs was everywhere acknowledged in his lifetime, and now that he has gone to the great be- yond. he will take his place in our territorial history as one of the ablest men we have had, and as one of the best in the long list of territorial gover- nors.
 His loyalty to Arizona was something remarkable. That loyalty, and a high sense of honor, distinguished him in all the positions he filled as a ser want of the territory.
 From long and intimate off cial association with him, I found that his chief traits were, fidelity to the public interests as he understood them-in oth- CT words, integrity of a high order; and, his love for the ter ritory and its people.
 The capitol building, probably the most honestly constructed capitol in America-a building constructed without misuse of even a nickel-will stand for all time a monument to the honesty of Governor Murphy's administration.
 His greatest ambition was to see Arizona admitted into the union of states. Throughout his long years of industrious public service he labOred zeal ously and without ceasing, and without thought of his purse or his comfort, for the admis- sion of the territory. And in private life his zeal and per sistence to that end-a zeal and a persistence not diminish ed by steadily failing health- continued until yesterday, when the end came. He fought al '. ways for statehood, whatever the odds, for his was a pas sionate belief that a denial of statehood to Arizona was de- nial of eternal right. Now that the door into the union seems swinging open at last. it is pa thetic that he could not live to see the consummation of his life ambition.
 But it was not to be. For many months he knew the end was coming; and if he could have had his wish he would have died in Arizona-in the land he loved so well

have ridden over the route in buggy
and know whereof / speak The
heaviest expense to be encountered
would be in the bridging of the Malta
poni River at walkerton or Aylctts.
The bridging of the Pamunkey
River farther on would not amount to
much. The remainder of the fifty
nine miles is as level as floor, COM
parauvely speaking. and would require
only inexpensive grading. The mer-
chants OF Richmond could we'll afford
to build this fifty -nine-mile road them
selves. for 1t would give them a val
liable trade from the counties of Mid
dlesex. Essex. Caroline. King and
Queen and King William that now
goes by water to Baltimore. Then.
too, a vast trade would cross the river
at Urbanna from the Northern Neck
counties and go to Richmond by rail.
If this fifty-nine- road cannot be
built Richmond city and the South
ern Railway could we'll afford to build
an eighteen-mile road from Urbanna
to West Point. This might be first
class heavy electric line, the cars cross
ing the Mattaponi at West Point on
ferry-boats. The town of Urbanna
alone would support such a road. to
say nothing of the business that would
flow to Richmond via West Point from
Middlesex and King and Queen coun-
ties. The people of this section intend
TO have this road at no distant day.
The Boards of Trade of Urbanna ana
West Point have active committees at
work on the trolley line scheme and
very soon they will bic In Richmond

Commerce and the people of Richmond

The people in this section have al
ways thought that Richmond has treat
