RESENTFUL MEMBERS.
They Devote Space to Journals
tic Criticism.

II had been rumored in the morn
ing session that a switch had been
put in pickle for the Arizona Demo-
crat, whose criticisms of the conven-
tiOn have been Enthusiastically free
and John o. Dunbaresque. 1t was
understood that Mr. Parsons had been
elected to WELD the switch.
Mr. Dunbar had heard of the machi-
nations of his enemies and he had
gone out to be present at the skin
ming. He waited impatiently about
the galleries until nearly noon and
then went down town, leaving word
to be called up at the first sign OF
the beginning of the festivities.
When the convention recOnvened
after noon there was an air of activ-
ity and nervousness about the cham
ber Mr. Winsor, to whom the Dem
ocrat on Saturday night had devoted
the greater part of a column of edi-
torial describing him as a difuser of
hot air, rose to a question of per-
sonal privilege. He read a part of
the editorial and said that he stood
neither in sorrow nor anger, but with
a heart full of gratitude for the sig
nal prominence in which he had been
placed wholly undeservedly. He
would leave it to members if he, had
hardly opened his head within the
last two weeks except to respond.
AYE" or may and if he had not
always made those responses in a
modest and retired voice.
He defended his course in the
aar of In
which he said he had only tried to
fulfill his pledges.
Then Mr. Parsons took the floor
and said that it might seem that
what the Democrat had handed to
Mr.. Winsor was none of his business
but it had been serving it hot to every
member of the convention as individ-
uals and to the convention as a
whole.
The main text of Mr.. Parsons was
the following from the Democrat:
Thank God. there will never be an
other democratic gathering in Ari-
zona like this" Mr.. Parsons urged
the exclusion of the detractor of
pure democracy from the privileges
that had been accorded to newspa-
per men generally.
Mr.. Cunningham regretted, that his
colleagues had entered upon a de-
fense of their conduct against the
charges of the Democrat. Said he:
THE right has grown up in this ter
ritory for newspapers to misquote
until now it has become a constitu-
tional right which we ought not to
try to abridge.'
Mr. Dunbar arrived when the casti-
cation was beginning but he did not
appear to take it greatly to- heart
That is to say. there was not that
air of repentance about him that
might be expected to attach to one
who felt that he had been convicted
of wrongdoing.
The the convention went into the
committee of the whole again and
resumed the consideration of the ma
jority report of the judiciary bill
The first section was adopted with
out opposition. but beyond that the
convention began to get into deep
water and various phrases were va-
riously interpreted and instructions
and explanations by the committee
were asked for until Mr.. Lynch was
moved to say: THE committee is
prepared to furnish information but
not comprehension"
However things got to running
smoothly and kept on for an hour
or so when some member discovered
that something had been passed hur-
riedly and then the committee began
revising the bill backward. Finally
a new start was taken and there were
indications that the measure would
