 The way was then cleared for nom nations for county officers, the orde~ of business beginning with the candi- date for the legislative council. From this point to the conclusion of the con VentiOn an hour or two later, the pro- .ceedings were a continuous wave of en- thusiasm, swelling and shrinking only in proportion to the importance of the office for which this candidate or that one was mentioned, but as cordial and as joyful in it's ebb as in its flow. In no single instance was more than one mans name presented for the same of flee, wherefore there was no sugges- tiOn even of a paper ballot, and in no case was the sepulchral no" heard as the registration of a differing opinion. It was rot machine work for a poli- tiCal machine alweys squeaks a little no matter how much it is oiled. It was not lack oc material, for in the case of most of the offices several names have been mentioned for days and in one case yesterday after the nomination was practically made the admirers of one man brought his name before the body, not for nomination. but merely for favorable mention. It would in deed have been great glory to have been even an also ran" in such d gathering. The organized, effective, and Wool harmony referred to was merely the result of friendly caucus ing during the preceding twentyfour hours, by all factions of the party, though factions is hardly the word for the occasion. Former factions have re- solved themselves into mere shades of opinion as to the best method of de- feating the common enemy and noth- ing acrimonious occurred at any time. The adherents of those who had pre- viously been mentioned for office were usually found among those seconding the nominations of the men chosen, or making them in the first place. No finer demonstration was ever seen of a united party hot on the trail of what seems to be a sure thing. Every nom mating speech was a fine one as was every speech of acceptance, lack of space precluding even a synopsis Of them.
 George NJ. Hahn was named for councilman by Roy $. Goodrich and be- fore the delegates hardly got through seconding the nomination the motion to nominate by exclamation was put. carried, and a committee consisting of l. T. Hosey and F.. A. Spaulding was sent after him, MT. Hahn being busiiy engaged in a business transaction at the time.
 Harry Dichl presented the name of Roy $. Goodrich for the assembly. B. T. Gillett seconded, and w. P. Crump sought immediate exclamation, but it was decided to name all four candi- dates first for it was plain to see even then that it vas to be the order of the day. Dr. Palmer of Mesa City, nomi- mated pr. E. ". Wilbur, seconded by J. B. Mullen of Tempe. Elliot Evans named J. C. Reed of Wickenburg. sec onded by H. M. Lewis and Walter Will bur oe Tempe, named l. V. Stewart seconded by southsiders, and by Geo b. Christy for the north side. The four men were named and responded with four short and effective speeches.
 In the midst of the above, MT Hahn was brought in and made a talk that will surely elect him if he goes around inc county with the same modest, though firm and convincing speech up- ln his lips.
 For sheriff, J. c. Adams presented he name of $. w Higley with a fine speech. It was seconded by L. W. Hoggins. who moved to close the nom nations. After the vote, MT. Higley anne to the front, was given an ova- ion and made a speech designed to ,urdle the blood of the democratic Not a personal attack by my means. but a mere announcement hat he was going to be elected and a lint of why and how.
 Capt. Geo D. Christy presented H. 3. Wilkinson's name for district attOr- ley He made a fine speech, but not Is good a one as MT. Wilkinson did af- CT about all the lawyers and farmers md real estate men and artisans in he house had seconded the nOmina- ion and the vote was taken.
