THE RUMP CONVENTION.
Even it Was Unable to Adopt Definite
 Instructions.

Tucson, April 1s.-CSpecial 1.-The Kibbey convention was a harmonious affair" The machinery was well oiled and greased and everything went through without hitch. In the reso- lutions which were adopted an en- dorsement was made of the Roosevelt administration in national affairs and of the Kibbey administration in terri torial affairs. Senator Foraker was commended for his stand against joint statehood. Home rule was advocated in the appointment of men to federal office positions in the territory. The feature of the resolutions however was a clause referring to Secretary Taft.
 It states: "We fully appreciate the eminent ability and fitness of William H. Taft and we, the convention, favor his nomination as the republican can didate for president" It is believed here tonight that this resolution is the one which caused the Kibbey bolt. It was realized by the Kibbeyites after they had lost the first skirmish that they would stand no show on getting dily at itSpiulipil AliIOuSl Nlit It6u lar convention and consequently they seeded.
 The Bump convention was a pecul- far affair The delegates are unin- structed. nevertheless the Bump con- vention put itself on record as being in favor of Taft for the presidential nomination.
 Threatened Bolt of BoIters.
 Quite a sensation was caused at the beginning of the trump convention when R. A. Kirk, head of the bolters from Cochise county and Representa- tive Hoval A. Smith announced that under no circumstances would their delegation remain in the rump conven- tion if the delegates were to be in- structed. He threatened in this event to secede from the bOlters.
 Governor Kibbey had given public assurances that there would be no in structions given to the delegates. How ever by another move the Taft reso- lutions were adopted which would practically bind the delegates to Taft. The delegates named are Judge Rich ard F. Sloan of Prescott and Hoval A. Smith of Bisbee; Alterpates. Con O'Keefe of Nogales and J. F.. Perry of Mohave: provisional delegates. Ben Heney of Tucson: Dell NJ. Potter of Graham, J. A. Hubbell of Apache and John Darlington of Yuma. But one man in the Yuma deelgation declined to bolt the regular convention. He was Donald Mcintyre. representative in the council from Yuma county at the last legislature. All of the dele gates will leave for home early to- morrow.

A BUSY BODY.


 Early in the convention il was seen that there would be a determined fight before the committee on credentials. and that proved true. At 2:30 o'clock it was stated that the credentials com mittee could not report before 5:30 o'clock and at that hour it was an nounced that a continuation would be necessary until 7:3O o'clock. Each one | of the three contesting delegations of 1 Maricopa. COchise and Gila counties arrived in Tucson armed to do battle to the end, and a staggering array of affidavits, proofs and verbal evidence was on hand for members of the ere dentials committee. which occupied their time for hours Meantime, how ever. the convention did not sit idly by. After much merry making and after the convention had unanimously demanded it. Col. Herring opened the speech-making which occupied the af- ternoon. He was in fine spirits and his address was one of the ablest ever heard at republican convention. His reference to President Roosevelt, Sen ator Foraker. Secretary Taft and Gov ernor Hughes brought forth enthusas- tiS e!'llchEfs iif BiNSihthN anu TtI aker came in each for a special dem onstration when their names were mentioned and the delegates fairly went wild. It was demonstrated con- clusively that Arizonians are not in grates and have not forgotten the va liant labors of Senator Foraker HARMONY TALK.
 Robert E. Morrison made a lively address. He advocated putting aside personal differences and sticking by the party no matter what personal dis appointments might come. Governor Kibbey followed and touched up the democratic newspapers at a lively rate for mixing in republican affairs and attempting to make mountains out of mole hills.
 The governor was given an enthu- siastic reception and appeared to be greatly pleased William F. Cooper of Tucson, the last candidate for dele gate to congress, followed and made humorous address which put all of the delegates in excellent spirits He read a number of fictitious telegrams burlesquing matters of moment polit- | ically, and ended with good sound ad- vice tO republicans, regarding the ne- cessity for clinging firmly together and he expressed the belief that Ari- zona will eventually be a republican state. which evoked tremendous en- thusiasm.
 The arrival of the Maricopa delega- ;ions this morning added spice to the preliminaries. These arrivals were given cordial greeting and the mem bers of both delegations fraternized freely and evidences of personal ani- mostly were entirely lacking. Both the Adams and the Kibbey delegations

were extremely busy during the morn- ing discussing the events with the vis- iting delegates. Each side was eX- tremely confident of victory when their credentials were presented to the credentials committed

are strongly urged to use every means in their power to secure for Arizona in the statehood line all that is possi- ble from the republican national con- vention.
 There was yelled irony in the refer ence to the territorial administration, made all the more apparent in view of the bolt of Governor Kibbey ana his adherents: We commend the terri torIal administration in It's administra- tion of the territorial affairs" was the simple statement which in view of the sensational happenings meant volumes.
 The resolutions strongly favored all uninstructed delegation, the belief be- ing expressed that the delegates un- pledged to any particular candidate would be able to perform much more efficient. work at Chicago. Adherence to nome rule" in the matter of federal appointment in Arizona was advocated.
 TRIBUTE TO FORAkER.
 Great praise was bestowed on Sen ator Joseph B. Foraker He was de- clared to be the man who had stood by Arizona in her hour of danger and the deepest gratitude of the convention was bestowed on him. He was char acterized as a great leader who had worked unceasingly for Arizona and had saved the territory from threat ened danger. Thanks were also ten dered to all of the other legislators who had aided Arizona during the big statehood battle.
 When the mention of Foraker was made in the resolution it was the sig nal for prolonged cheering. One dele gate jumped upon his seat and pro posed three cheers for the gallant son of Ohio. The cheers were given with a will. Hats were thrown in the air and the senior senator was given an ovation such as is seldom witnessed. When the cheering had ceased the re- port of the resolution committee was unanimously adopted.
 Nominations for delegates to Chi cago were then made. Judge Sloan was placed before the convention by Judge Parks of Yavapai in an excellent speech. The nomination was seconded by A J. Doran of Yavapai. l.. w. Powell general manager of the Calu- met and Arizona at Bisbee was named as the representative for Southern Ari- zona. Both nominations were made unanimously. Col. William Griffith of Tucson and E. s. Breen of Coconino were named as the alternates. Chair man Herring who was temporary. and permanent chairman also, called Hon. A. J. Doran to the chair and then him. self nominated Probate Judge w. J. Kirkpatrick for national committee- man. There was no opposition and the selection was made unanimously.
 The band played America and the regular convention was adjourned sine die The convention was declared to have been possibly the most exciting ever known in the territory. It is be- lieved to have been the first time on record that a governor deliberately bolted after finding himself whipped. There were about 800 spectators pres ent to witness the proceedings. The spectators found plenty of excitment with the proceedings which finally got under way.
 Following the adjournment Of the regular convention all of the delegates proceeded to the Santa Rita hotel just a block distant where the proceedings of the iKibbey bolters were watched with interest. The comments on the Kibbey bolt are exceedingly bitter to- night.

 were not bound by the unit rule which had been previously adopted. Their contention was denied by the chair who held that the unit rule prevailed having been informed by General Thomas F. Wilson, chairman of the Pima delegation that this rule had been adopted at caucus attended by all of the members of the Pima delegation. Aadreas Rebeil entered an emphatic denial and he and General Wilson had a war of words which was stopped when the chairman compelled both to take their seats.
 THE PRINCIPLES.
 Following the report of the creden . tials committee the resolutions recon mended by the committee were read by Anderson of Yavapai These resolu- tions were strong and direct they praised President Roosevelt for his wise and fearless management of the affairs of the government but regretted that he had been mistaken regarding the jointure of Arizona and New Mex icO for admission into the unioI. The resolutions stated further that it is now believed that the entire country real izes the injustice that such a union would have inflicted on Arizona.
