DEMOCRAT NATIONAL CONVENTION.

This week the Democrat Nation al Convention at Baltimore, has taken the attention of the country. It assembled Tuesday, and has been very interesting, There were some few contests, and there was great interest in the selection of temporary chairman and propo- sition to abrogate the unit rule.
 Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, former nominee for the pre-. sidency, was chosen temporary chairman over W. J. Bryan, by a fair majority. Abrogation of the unit rule was carried by large majority. That released the dele gates from Ohio favorable to Will son for President. elected for con gressional districts, from an in- truction to vote for Harmon,

 Upon the twelfth ballot the vote stood; Clark, 5474; Wilson, 354; others not reported. Clark's gain seems to have been at the expense of Harmon.

back the horticultural and agri- cultural development of Santa Cruz county.
 Within the confines of this cOun- ty there are lands susceptible of cultivation that will make homes one day for thousands of people, who will be comfortably situated, many of them wealthy, off from the productions of the soil. It does not need the eye of prophecy to see that. All one has to do is to recall what were the western parts of Kansas and Nebraska, and the eastern parts of Colorado and Wyoming, forty years ago, and and contrast those regions with what they are now. In 1866-7 this editor was in the employ of the Union Pacific railroad, then build ing out of Omaha. It was believed then that all that vast region west of the Loup Fork was a worthlesss desert, fitted only for grazing cat tie. Now it is one vast cornfeld, almost all the way from the Mis- souri river to the Black Hills, more than 800 miles; and Kearn- ey, Plum Creek, Brady Island, North Platte, with several other spots that then were nothing but sidetracks, are now thriving towns and cities with several thousand population in each, some of them exceeding ten thousand. The east ern part of Santa Cruz county of fers today a region that for the possibilities is the equal of if not superior to the region along the line of the Union Pacific railway. It is not so great in area, but what there is presents fertility of soil as great, and water as abundant as did the great plains in 1866. All that is necessary to make it paradise is to have it settled by men of brain and brawn. such as are coming in now-not by croak- CTS.

FALSE PROPHETS OF EVIL.

Why is it that so many of the pioneers and old timers in South ern Arizona have go little faith in the region in which they have cast their lot, and are so ready to dis courage those who have come into the new state with a faith in it's future and a determination to help make good the long laid claim that here we have the making of great state2
 The new settlers in the Elgin region bear witness to the disposi- tion here criticised on the part of many of those who have lived long in that vicinity, and seem dis gruntled at any attempt to bring out its undeveloped resources. Those who have been so successful in boring for water relate that their operations in that direction were derided and scOffed by a number of the old timers, who as. sured them that they would never get water, and that time and money expended in the effort would be lost. And as those Croakers were shown by the result to have been false prophets of evil, they seemed decidedly offended that their prog nostications had failed. They ap- pear to desire Santa Cruz county to remain backward and without population.
 THE OASIS has remarked before that the mining industry in Santa Cruz county has been retarded and circumscribed by the same kind of false prophets of evil who have been ready always to assure everybody that the ledges in the mountains here would not go down" Recent developments have disproved their croakings, and the mining industry in Santa Cruz county has taken wondrous i'm petus in spite of them. The same class of croakers seems now to be doing everything possible to keep
