Through tho absence of tho Chairman of the Territorial Central Committee tho honor has again fallen upon me of callluK your Conven tion to order, and I hope that tho same success for the next ten years will follow us as it has In tho past. M. II. Williams, of Maricopa, nomi nated 15. J. Edwards for Temporary Chairman. Mr. Kdwards was elected by acclamation and escorted to tho plat form.

I know what it is composed of: I know the prin ciples that uuderly the Democratic party, and 1 know that the men who compose the party in Arizona are true Democrats.

Fellow Democrats, as the result of this convention, depends a great deal upon your actions, and success will surely bo the result of our labors if you act wisely In Mlectlug the men to All tho various positions we have been called together to select. On motion of Mr. Summers, of Pinal, W. Woxl Porter was elected Secretary of the Convention. P. J. Uolan, of Graham, moved that u Committee consisting of one member from each of tho Counties of tho Terri tory bo appointed upon Credentials. M. II.

A Committeo of seven on Resolutions and Platform, and a Committee of five on Order of Busi ness and Permanent Organization Hero followed some discussion on the motion, with regard to tho fact that tho Convention had not yet organized, but tho origional motion was finally carried.

Mr. Uolan nroso to decllno his ap pointment upon tho last named com mittee and desired to introduce a new Bet of names. Ho took tho chairman sharply to task for not naming him as tho chairman of tho Committeo on Credentials. Having been tho mover for tho committee's ap pointment, lie deemed himself entitled to a position upon it. The chair called Mr. Uolan to order, explaining that inasmuch as thodcle gato held only a proxy ho was surely not entitled to a place on tho Credentials Committee.

The report was adopted with slight amendment. It was then moved by I). N. Hunsaker that tlio temporary organization bomado permanent. Tlio motion was carried. Tlio chairman of the Committeo on Permanent Organization and Order of Business then craved attention. The roiwrt presented was as follows: . Pikk.vi.v, Amz., September 15. To the Chairman and gentlemen of the Territorial Democratic Convention : Your committee on Permanent Organization and Order of Business respectfully sub mit the following report and rccoin months adoption: 1. That tho temporary organization Iks declared permanent. 2. Tho adoption of platform and reso lutions. 3. Nominations for dclegato to Con gress. 4. Nominations, by Districts, for Joint Councilmen. 5. Selection of a Territorial Demo cratic Central Commitiee, consisting of twenty-one members, apportioned as follows: Maricopa, 3; Yavapai, 3; Pima, 3; Cochise, 3; Pinal, 2; Apache, 2; Graham, 2; Mohave, 1; Yuma, 1; Gila 1. 0. Tlio election of a Chairman and Secretary of tho Territorial Democratic Central Committee. M. II. Williams. Chairman. Tlio report was adopted. Delegate Oury rose to his feet at this point and entered a protest. His voice was suggestive of a bad cold but his sentiments were sharp. Ho said that Maricopa County was, very evidently, attempting to gobblo everything there was in sight, and that injustice had been done to tlio other counties of the Territory. Ho seemed to take especial umbrage to that portion of the com mittee's report recommending that the temporary organization bo made per manent. M. 11. Williams responded by saying that ho signed the report at tho instance and request of the other members of the committee, and that ho was surprised at tho discourteous remarks of tho gentle man from Pinal in relation to Maricopa County wishing to "hog" everything in sight. H. N. Alexnnder also desired to con demn tho remarks of Mr. Oury. He had suggested as a matter of courtesy that' tlio otlicers 01 mo organization miuuiu be taken from tlio outside delegations, but tlio members of thoso outside dele gations had themselves arranged the plan for which Maricopa county is blamed in discourteous and unseemly language. In reply Mr. Oury again took tho floor and said, in the course of his remarks, that he was not responsible for tne eau cation of those gentlemen who had pre ceded him. Ho had not used tho word "hog," nor was it in his vocabulary. Tlio report was adopted, Oury voting alono in tlio negative. Judge Barnes, of Pima, then read the report of tho Committee on Platform and Resolutions, which is as follows: The Democrats of Arizona, in Convention assembled, rcatllnn their allcglanco to the Democratic party, and reassert the principles announced in repeated National Conventions, and continue In its time honored traditions. Wo demand that ne be relieved from the tutelage of a Territorial form of government audtbat we be admitted to Statehood. We are taxed as American citizens but ore not allowed representation or a voto in making tho laws that shall govern us. Until that time, wo de mand of Congress that homo rule which shall allow us to elect all of our executive, legisla tive and judicial, as well as our county otlicers. These otlicers expend the money we appropriate and pay in taxos and administer the statutes we enact and wo should be allowed to choose thoso who shall execute them. Of our own Legislature we demand tho ab olition of all useless offices, particularly the atllccs of Attorney (Jcnerel, Uommlssiouer of Immigration, Superintendent of Schools and Territorial Ueologlst, and a reduction of salaries and emoluments of the rest, wherever practic able. And wo demand a consolidation of county offices to the end that the fees and emoluments taken from tho people may bo decreased and that taxation may be reduced to tho lowest possible point. ... ... Tho Republican party In this administration has shown its unfitness to govern successfully. Under ambitious and seltlsh leaders, careless ot tho ruin that is being wrought to tho Kcpubllc, a despotlo Speaker, supported by his party, dis regards unbroken precedents, and makes him self the master Instead of the servant of tho House. Under his lash the taxes found neces sary during the war wero Increased, free coin age of silver defeated, and a force bill carried which will glvo to the military control over elections. We denouueo tho bill as un-Ameri the fol-1 thQ,NorthGermand.LloydI" M IWUM can and un-democratic, as it destroys all hope of freo elections. The surplus has been reck lessly voted away, until now a deficiency looks us In tho face. Wo favor the continuation of tho Chinese Re striction act. Wo favor frco and unrestricted coinage of silver. We favor a reduction of taxation and tart!! for revenue only. We commend the course of our Delegate In Congress, and particularly his opposition to all legislation in favor of land grants, and his op-, position to tho proposed "Land Grant Court We oppose any legislation to disfranchise any citizen, except it be on conviction of crime. We demand tho repeal of Section C, Act No.41, of March 21, 18S9, prohibiting any but American citizens receiving the benefits of public charity. Tho individual planks of tho platform were greeted with a loud stampingof feet and clapping of hands from tho few re presentatives of Arizona's Democracy who occupied the floor. Tho platform as n whole was adopted. Judge Barnes then handed the secre tary tho following resolutions. To the Senate and House or Kei-kesentativks or the United States: Resolved, lly the Democratic party of Arizona, In Convention assembled, that tho Democratic Carty of the nation is now, and has always ecu, the party of progres, good government and advancement, and believing that railroads are the great agencies through which the re sources of Arizona are to be developed and brought to the attention of tho world, we respectfully ask your honorable body to pass the Maricopa county railroad subsidy bill now pending In Congress. The construction of this much needed lino will open up a market for the Immense pro ducts of the Salt and Ulln river valleys and In return give both sections abundance of cheap lumber. We usk the passage of this measure In behalf of the people of Arizona, believing It is one of thoso measures of relief which will bo product ive of good to the whole people. Tho next on tho order of business was the nomination of a Delegate to Con gress. W. K Meade, of Cochiso, was prompt to arise and tersely placed in nomina tion tho present uo!egate, Marcus A. Smith. The nomination was greeted with as much enthusiasm as tile delegates could muster. Judge Barnes ouco more came to his feet and in a speech of real excellence, seconded tho nomination. Ho is a fluent and rapid speekcrand but a small portion of his remarks could bo caught, lie said in clTect: M. President and Convention Pima County, with unanimous voice, instructed their delegates to voto as a unit for Mark Smith, and they have eut nine ol his friends to voice their sentiments. And they do It because he hag licen worthy of honor and worthy of being their servant. Ho has been a servant of all the peo ple of Arizona as well as the servant of the Democrats of Arizona a servant of all, regard less of party. He has been there as an advocate to speak the voice of the people of Arizona and ho has a right to speak the voice of Arizona, It has been said by Republicans that if you want Arizona to become a Suite, you must send a Delegate to Congrets who Is In harmony with the Administration. Mr. Chairman, there are changes to take place and If you desire a Dele gate to Congress In harmony with the Adminis tration, you must send Mark Smith as your next Delegate. Wears in favor of Mark Smith, not only for what he has done for his friends, but also for the enemies he has made. Wo are in favor of him because he has been Identified with our In terests. He has been down In our mines, on our ranges and Is familiar with every interest of ourTerritory. And , lastly, we Mleve he will be more useful to us In the next two years than ho has been in the past four. For all these reasons, we have been Instructed to give our unanimous vote in favor of Mark Smith as our next Delegate to Congress. 11. N. Alexander moved that the nomination bo mado by acclamation, but tho convention was not ready for the motion. Ivy II. Cox, one of tlio standard Democrats of Maricopa county, in a neat and well delivered speech, "on be half of this county, seconded the nomina tion. E. W. French, of Yavapai, also had a good word to say for tlio nominee and predicted success. George II. Kelley, of Graham, stated that his county had given Mr. Smith 575 majority two years ago and would do equally well this fall. The motion was then put and Marcus A. Smith was nominated by hearty ac clamation as tho Democratic candidate for the offico of Delegato to Congress. Tho Chairman announced the next order of business to bo the nomination of JointCouncilmen. A suggestion that tho different counties go into District Convention was well received and a recess of half an hour was taken for the purpose. On reassembling tho nomination of a Joint Councilman for the Southern District was first taken up. Francis J. Henoy, of Pima, placed before tho Convention tho name of Peter, R. Brady, of Pinal, in the follow ing speech: I have the vesy pleasant duty of presenting before this conventlen, for the position of Joint Councilman of the Southern District, the name of l'eter It. Hrady. I may say that I came to 1'hoenlx as a candi date for that position, but when I arrived I found It was the wisdom of the majority that tho Southern District should namo a man who camo into this Territory as a pioneer about the time I came into the world: a man who has remained in Arizona ever since that time, and who has the respect of Republicans and Democrats alike, and whose character Is above ;rcproach: a plain, common sense, practical man, one who has the interests of tho Territory at heart, and one who will bo an honor to the Democracy and a credit to the entire Territory. Further than that I may say that, as a repre sentative of the young Democracy, I am always ready and willing to step down and out to give place to the old whcelhorses of our party. I expect to take off my coat in this coming campaign and work for the election of l'eter It. llrady for Joint Councilman from the Southern District. II. V. Jackson, of Pinal, seconded the nomination in a speech, of which tho following is a resume : I have the pleasure of a personal acquaint ance with l'eter It. llrady, and I know no more staunch and tried Democrat In the Territory of Arizona. Ho is a man of intelligence and in tegrity, those necessary qualifications for a suc cessful legislator. Ho is a man who counts his friends lu overr countv. in everv town. In every voting precinct, In this Territory, lie has, as a public man, tho necessary qualifica tions of a successful politician. Well has ho served his party and often has he led it on to victory. He has a history as a legislator and as a Dem ocrat, and ho can point to that history without shame. It is a history ho may well be proud of. Ho Is a man whose namo will glvo vim to the canvass and carry us on to victory. The nom ination of such a man by the Democratic party is as good'as un election by the electors ot his district. On behalf of Html county it gives me great Pleasure to second tho nomination of lion, eterll. llrady. Upon motion, tho namo was voted upon by counties with tlio following re sult: Pima, 9 votes; Gila, 3; Cochiso, 11; Graham, 7; Pinal, 7. , Next in tho order of business wero nominations for Joint Councilman from tho Northern District. E. W. French placed before thd con vention tlio name of Harris Baldwin, of Yavapai. Ho sjwko of Mr. Baldwin as being a man whoso interests arc centered in the Territory, a man of broad ideas, a man who has served tho people of tne entire territory and especially the inter ests of Northern Arizona, a man whoso integrity is unimpcachablo aud a man who will bo a stalwart wheel horse in tho ranks of the Democratic party in Arizona. II. N. Alexander and A. Petit also f , ,. ... ...' ik,k in mv.ir-m rrp t m nnnrfinenaatnatKtneamattcrHwouiaiicanacitvofith'e.frcieht rwiliconvxyi cbinal'anga seconded the nomination in flattering terms. On motion of L. II. Hawkins, of Maricopa, the nomination was mado by acclamation. A recess of twenty minutes was then taken to givo tho different counties un opportunity for selecting tho names for the Territorial Central Committee. Upon reassembling the members chosen by the delegates A-ero reported as follows : Maricopa C. W. Miller, J. E. Walker, Frank C. Czamowski. Yavapai Morris Goldwater, J. F. Daggs, E. W. French. Pima L. M. Jacobs, F. G. Hughes, Frank J. Honey. Cochiso W. K. Meade, D. N. Hun saker, J. W. Howell. Pinal W. Wood Porter, II. V. Jack son. Apache Henry Smith, John T. Lessueur. Graham L.

Hughes, of Pima, placed in nomination Lionel M. Jacobs,of Pima. II. N. Alexander, of Maricopa, W. K. Meade, of Cochise,and Georgo II. Kelly, of Graham, seconded. G. II. Oury nominated E. W. French, of Yavapai. Mr. French declined tho honor. Mr. Oury then moved to adjourn, but found no second. L. II. Hawkins nominated in a few culogiBtic words, J. E. Walker, of Mari copa, for the position of Secretary of the Territorial Central Committee. Tlio nomination was seconded by I. II. Cox and was duly carried. W. K. Mcode, of Cochise, then moved that a voto of thanks Iks ten dered tho Maricopa County delegation for their courtesy to the visitors. Car ried. A vote of thanks was also tendered to tho Chairman, Secretary and Sergeant-at-Arms for tho efficient manner in which they had performed their duties. Tlio Chairman being called upon for a speech, responded in a fifteen-minute talk, congratulating the Convention on tlio harmonious completion of its bus iness. He stated that ho believed every one should take au interest in politics, and be informed as to the affairs of the nation. He claimed that a great many Republicans were adopting Democratic doctrines, giving as an example, the different attitude of Blaine today on the tarifr question, to what it was a few years go, and stated that the Re- ublican party is now stealing tlio icmocrats' thunder for political pur poses. He said he was not in favor of having a Legislature, which, convening for sixty consecutive days, sat there for seventy-live or eighty days or three months. A Legislature that re mained in Ecssion from March 21 to April 14, for the sinsrie pur pose of putting out every Democrat who might be getting a nickel from the coders of this Territory. Ho also spoke at length upon tho par agraph in tho platform repealing tlio act of tho last legislature which allowed aid to bo given only to tho citizens of the United States. Upon motion the Convention then adjourned, sine die. CONVENTION JOTTINGS. Down went Boss Fickas. Sad it is that lofty hopes should fail. The sergeant-at-arms had little to do. M. E. Hurley was up from Buckeye to attend the gathering. Tempo sont C. W. Miller, L. 11. Hawkins and G. W. Nichols. Mesa City was represented by W. J. Lo Baron and W. N. Standage. John II. Behan, ex-Surjerintcndent of the Territorial Prison, was a delegate from Yuma, Messrs. Johnstone and Dunbar worked hard for their friend, but their efforts were of no avail. There is a shrewd suspicion that Fickas was knocked out yesterday by tho anti-combinationists. Thomas E. Farish was much missed. Had ho been in his place a much longer platform would have surely been laid. E. J. Edwards made an agreeablo pre siding officer. Even tempered and cool, he gave general satisfaction in his rul ings. T. J. AVhito, a popular business man of Tombstone and a Supervisor of Cochiso County, took a worker's part in tho Convention. Tho platform isn't long, but, oh, it's broad enough. As one of tho delegates said: "It will furnish plenty of room in which to swing ourselves." L. O. Cowan, Probate Judge of Mo havo County, attended as a delegate. Ho leaves this morning for Los Angeles, where he will seek a httlerecreation. Judge Barnes was the motive forco of the Convention. He was always ready, clear headed and to tho point. His speeches were to bo classed among tho best. Granvillo II. Oury tried to clog the wheels of the machino but it was no use. On a division called for by Mr. Oury, ho stood alono when the negative votes wero called for. Tho opposition to Henoy was strong, hut mado little headway until a telegram was received yesterday from Brady saying "I will accept if tho nomination is tendered me." B. A. Fickas was smothered, knifed and dragged out yesterday. J. E.Walkcr was elected member and secretary of tho Territorial Central Committeo. There was no block of fifty-two upon which to rely. AN IMMENSE I.ANI) DEAL. Two New Yorkers Purchase a Million and Quarter Acres. Kansas City, September 15. An im mense deal in lands in Northwestern Texas has been closed by AVm. Spccht, the founder of tho."Specht Colony" and Gustave Rager, of Now York, the "Sugar King." They have purchased 7,000,000 acres in what is known as "No Man's Land" and 550,000 acres more ;in Northwestern Texas, making a total of 1,250,000 acres, for tho purpose of renting to cattlemen aa grazing lands. II i CON Several Bills Passed ' the Senate. iy The House Takes Up Tariff Bill. the Debate Over the Question to Non concur In the Senate Amend ments Kennedy's Speech. Washington, September 15. The Senate today passed a number of bridge bills. Tho regular calundcr was then taken up and several hills passed, among them the Senate bill to amend the act of June 10, 1878, to create the office of Auditor of railroad accounts. This hill requires that all subsidized railroad companies transmit to the commissioner of railroads duplicates of all bills for services in the transjwta tion of passengers or freight, the carry ing of mails or express, or for any service whatever rendered for or on behalf of the United States; the commissioner to forward thcse.billsto the propcraecount ing officers witli such recommendations as he may sec fit to make ; and account ing officers to report their action thereon to tho Commissioner of Railroads. Tho conference report on the railroad land forfeiture bill was then taken up and Mr. Sanders finished his argument. After remarks of Messrs. Plumb and Morgan, it was agreed that a vote be taken tomorrow afternoon, and the Sen ate adjourned. Ill tlio House. Washington, September 15. In the House Mr. McKiniey introduced a reso lution, which was adopted, providing that after two hours general debate on the Tariff bill, it shall be in order to non-concur in the Scnateamendnients in gross and agree to the committee con ference nked for by tho Senate, and the House shall without further delay or motion proceed to vote on said motion. Mr. MeRae, of Arkansas, opposed the bill, both in the original form and as amended, on the general groundthat it discriminated against tho farming in dustry. Payson (111.) thought in various re spects the bill as passed by the Senate was preferable to the measure us it passed the House. Ho spoke in favor of the Senate bill and paid it meant to place binding twine on the free list. He was a believer in Republican principles, but did not believe in a hasty theory of protection which put on tlio dutiable list an article the raw material of which was absolutely free of duty and the manufacture of which was in tho hands of a combination which could be indicted under an act passed by the present Con gress. After protesting against the placing of works of art upon the free list, ho touched upon the sugar ques tion, and hoped tho House would stand by its schedule. Viau, Pennsylvania, wished to say to the farmer aud laborer that this tariff was a cheat. The majority of the House believed in every trust save one trust in a righteous and just God. Mr. McKiniey said the Committee on Rules has heard that in reporting the resolution they had erred in giving too much time to debate. He invited tne attention of the llouso to the fact that not fifteen minutes of tho two hours had been devoted to discussion of the Senato amendments or tariff at all. The trouble witli members on the other side was they did not discuss measures, but called names and while they were doing this the majority had gone on nnd done more public business than had been done by any House of Repre sentatives since the " foundation of the government. Tho Senate amendments wero non concurred in yeas 120, nays 82. Mr. Enloo then called up ins resolu tion in regard to Mr. Kennedy's speech. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) raised the point of order that tho resolution was not in order. The time to have called Mr. Kennedy to order was when ho deliv ered the speech. Mr. Enloe contended that Mr. Kennedy had no more right to make a personal attack upon a member of the Senate than no (linioe; nau w state Unit the Sneaker was corrupt or tho President a criminal. It was due to the Houso that no utterances reflecting upon tho Senate should be admitted into tlio record. Mr. Bayne, (Penna.), concurred in the remarks of Mr.Enloc and trusted that in tho interest of what was right; of what was due to tho llouso, in honor to itself, that no technicality should bo allowed to come in tho way of condemning the utterances of the gentleman irom Ohio. Mr. Grosvenor said ho made tho point of order because he believed that what ever action tlio House took should be in tlio regular way by report from the committee. Mr. Bayne offered an amendment to Mr. Enloe's resolution directing the Public Printer to excludo Mr. Kennedy's speech from tlio Record. Mr. Adams, (111.), spoke in favor of Mr. Enloe's res olution, and pending action, tho House on motion of Mr. McKiniey, adjourned. HEIIELLION IN 11ANK8. Chicago Socialist Warring Among Them selves l'cnsloii lo Their Goddeaac. CincAao, September 15. The Apos tles of Anarchy are trembling just now at a revolt among the members of tho Pioneer Aid and Support Society, which threatens to dethrown their two god desses, Mrs. A. R. Parsons and Mrs. C. Spies, wife nnd mother respectively of two of tho executed Anarchists. Somo time ago tlio Central Labor Union which is a federation of tho Ger man Trades Unions in tho city protest ed through one of its delegates against further payment of semi-monthly pensions to these women. ' No action was taken and the attack was renewed yesterday. Tho Central Labor Union presenting evidence that both Mrs. Spies and Mrs. Parsons were comparatively woll off owning real estate and having oiner sources of wealth. There were many red hot speeches but the vote resulted in favor of a continuance of the subsidy to tho two women. The prevailing Henliment seemed to be that if the names of these women, which are drawing cards for subscriptions, were stricken from tho rolls the Association might as well disband for it would no longer be able to collect assesments to pay other benefits. As a result of the controversy the Central Lalwr Union will probably withdraw from tho Aid Association. SUMMARY VENtSEANCE. A Huabnmt Kill the -Murderer of III Wife In Iowa. Clinton, Iowa, September 15. A tragedy took place today at Grand Mount. William Langdon, of the well known firm of Langdon & Co., railroad contractors, has the contract for laying tho double track of the Chicago and Northwestern, between Clinton and Cedar Rapids.
