THE TWO PARTY CAUcUsEs
The First Step Taken Last Night in the Business of Sending Representatives from This County to Con stitutional Convention.

There must be an interest in this town in the formation of a cOnstitu- tion for the new state of Arizona Larger attendances were called out at the caucuses of both parties. except in the republican meeting of the Third ward, than had ever before gathered on similar occasions.
 There were few contests anywhere. though one seemed to be in process of development in the republican Second ward caucus, but it did not attain ma turity.
 The dining room of the Ford hotel was filled by representative republi- cans of the ward. many of whom are not in the habit of attending caucuses. The only ruffle on the serenity of the occasion was caused by C. H. Akers. who desired to take another step in reform" He moved the adoption cf a motion to commit the candidates for delegates to be voted for today, to the initiative, referendum, and recall. The motion was received with a smile, but MT. Akers was insistent and earnest and second was secured
 Captain Alexander spoke in opposi
  that was neither the time nor the place to commit delegates. The county con vention might properly attempt to commit the delegates to the constitu- tional convention to certain principles but the caucus could not well do so.
 This was the only time and place. replied MT. Akers, for after tomorrow. he said rather significantly, republi- cans would have no choice except as between their own candidates and those of the democrats.
 Some regarded the statement as a threat of a bolt, while others looked upon it merely as an unhappy and un- considered expression. The motion went to a vote and was decisively de feated on an aye and nay vote. NIT. Akers demanded a ballot but on the motion of J. F. CIeaveland there was a time saving division which resulted in a show of sixteen votes for the motion and thirty eight against it.
 There was no contest at any of the other republican meetings and only show of one at any of the democratic gatherings. That was in the First ward, held in the rear of Dr. TafeIs of flee That was only a contest for slated delegates to get off. pr. H. A. Hughes and Frank Loveitt. pr. Hughes evidently did not like the ad- jacent scenery. the delegate-dotted landscape, and suggested that J. M. Shott be put on in his place. The eau GUS would not consider the substitu ton, possibly for the reason that MT Shott had put himself outside the pale of the party in the late municipal cleo tion The Second ward republicans were less nice about such defections. Mir Loveitt did not want to remain on the ticket because he did Tot want to, but he is there.
 The following are the results in the various republican caucuses.
