yesterdays convention that the re-
publicans of Maricopa county will
present an unbroken front in the
coming campaign, as, we are sorry
to relate, has not always been done
heretofore. Though there was no
destinations show of harmony, there
was genuine harmony and good feel
ing. The convention was nobodys-
just a republican convention in
which were represented what had
been more or less bitter factions. A
state of feeling has been brought
about which is not likely to be dis
turbed. Whoever attempts to dis
turb it should be regarded as trait
or to the party and should be pun
ished accordingly.

The BULLS AND BEARS
PLAYED TAG ALL DAY
The Market Fell and Rose Without
Great Net Change.

New York, Aug. 15-The opening
of the stock market was awaited
with considerable interest this morn
ing owing to a severe decline. Re
ports that the speculative pools had
liquidated heavily and that important
market interests were selling, was
colored to some extent by the Lake
Shore special stocks. The first
prices were not altered much from
last nights closing, though the ten
dency was downward. The bulls
soon drove a large portion of the
list to a substantial fraction above
yesterdays closing. American Smelt-
ing, National Lead, Southern Pacific
and Rock Island were in special de-
mand, reassuring statements regard
ing the latter roads financial obli-
cation having tonic effect upon the
list. The rally terminated when the
traders perceived that stocks were
being fed out as fast as the mar
ket could take them. The profess
SIGNALS then laced themselves on
the short side and hammered the
list energetically, especially the met
al group. American Smelter broke
rapidly to 9OA, a loss or nearly three
points. Amalgamated Copper was
also conspiciously weak and large
sales drove United States steel down
to A. The general railroad list Of
fered good resistance at. various
points but the Union Pacific had an
interval of decided weakness when
it sold down TO 154b. In the final
dealings there was a general cover
ing movement of extensive proper
ties, which reduced the general loss
es to a trivial fraction and advanced
st. Paul to point above yesterdays
closing. Bonds were steady.

WAGS TAKES PART.

We fear that we are abusing the
patience of our readers with this dis
cussion of the Doran BILL precipitat-
ed by Governor Kibbey in an unpro-
voked attack upon The Republican
through the columns of Ways, in the
course of which he claimed credit for
the enacting of that revenue produc-
ing measure.
Much space has been consumed by
the governor with matters which
were intended to cloud the issue
which he had raised-his attitude to-
ward the bill which became a law.
The Republican has shown what is
a matter of common knowledge to all
concerned on either side that his at
titude was unfriendly and among
other proof it was pointed out that
the governors chief spokesman in
the house on mine tax legislation,
Mr. Guild of Pinal county, opposed
that bill to the last.
We would not allude again to
the position of Mr.. Guild but for
letter from him, printed last night
with comments by Ways, of which
the governor has been for some days
the chief editorial writer. Mr.. Guild
endorses the course of the governor
and his editorials. He wants copies
of the papers containing them and
urges Wages and the governor to go
on with the good work.
Ways comments in this vein:
Mr. Guild fought with Governor
Kibbey during the entire session Of
the Twenty fourth legislature and is
entirely familiar with the history of
the Doran bill, as well as Council Bill
No. 50, which was passed instead of
the Doran measure. He fought the
Doran bill and supported the other. He
does not even have to look up the rec
ords to tell how one was killed and
the other passed"
AS we have observed we never
discuss anything seriously with
Ways and in this case we will quote
. from the record, pages 213-214, as to
the enactment of the present mine
tax law:
Read third time in full, placed on
final passage and passed the house by
the following vote:
'Ayes-Bail, Burke, Coleman, Dav-
idson, Grossetta Hampton, Hull,
KroOk, Martin, Mccormick, Morgan of
Pima, Morgan of Navajo, Murphy,
Pace, Slaughter, Whitesides and Mr..
Speaker.-17.
''Nays-BeIl, Bunch, Crenshaw, Day,
Guild, Wallace and williams
What more is to be said on this
point, as to the attitude of the gov
ernor's mouthpiece in the house?
Then, evidently without the knowl-
edge or consent of the chef editorial
writer, Ways butts rashly in where
governors fear to tread, to the fol-
lowing extent:
The editorials of the 18th and 18th |
were in reply to criticisms made by
the morning paper Of the policies of |
Governor Kibbey and the Gazette. The |
Republican endeavored to take the |
credit for Bill No. SO from Governor
Kibbey, claiming that it was passed |
against his will The record has been /
cited to prove this charge false"
Bill No. SO, ralating to the taxation |
of mines, known as the Weedin 1
bill, disappeared early in the NAV
of a committee 1t never became
law and was never seen again.
