At the last flection oiled 5,175 votes. Arizona Nearly two years is a long time to clipse before anything is said in defense of the charges made by the last Grand Jury against I. II, Cox, then Clerk of Board of Super . visor, and now Peniocrntic nom inee for Territorial Superintendent of Publio Instru tion. The Expositor claims a Demo cratic majority of 150 to 200 in this county. We will sliow them how much they are fooling tie m seSvej next November, and as the editor of the Expositor will not be entitled to rote at the election next November (not having resided in thi; Territory a sjffici-nt length of time) we would sugget t'mt he be jaore modest in his prophecies. James Hoad has retired from the LViH, of Pinal, and J. D. Rey rnart has assumed entire control. This sprightly p;.per has made a stir in its brief existuncc in one j branch of llini-nni flmmff t;n!5. ' tics we W'dh it continued Siiecsj. It is a staunch advocate of Repub lican prirct pies, and a jTeat help to the cause. Jonrnalisni in Southern Arizona ia lively. The Tombstone Epitaph is to enlarge in a few days; the Harshaw Bullion has already en larged, and the Tucson Citizen has added a power press to its estab- ! lishnicnt. All the above are staunch Republican papers, and we ore pleased to hear of tiicir euccess. It took Judge Kilcy, of Tomb et.iuc, ten days to try a police officer, eharged by a drunkard, wi;h false imprisonment, which resulted in Bennett being bound over in i 1,000 to appear bofore the Grand Jury, fu default cf payment he was brought to Tucson, together with testimony, says the Cit'zjii, voluminous enough to nearly load a JS-iiHue wagon. When the couuty comea to foot up the cost of the case, they would never believe Jaines was the loud mouthed r foimiT of Maricopa county. Yr an elector's name to appear eo the printed list of the Great Register of the county he should be registered curing the present monthras the priuted Copy of the Register utust be made duiing the early part of October. As every Justice of the Peace is a register ing' officer, there is no possible excuse fsr any person neglecting this important duty. Active Re publicans should see that their lrieudi? do not neglect this matter. The Democrat says if Mr. Stew art had not voted for the railroad bill it never would have passed We doubt if. Had not IIo .. C. H. Grey introduced the bill it would never have been placed on our statute books. Mr. Siewart eet ing that the prii.c'pal legislator from (his county in 11 educed the bill, claiming Lis people wanted if; and working for its pa-Bae, he naturally inferred that this county knew its business best and he was not disposed to interfere with a lo cal measure. Ouly this and noth inj more. KXOtH TO .HAKE A IIORST f.AlII. - The nomination of the R-v. I.

THE COSVEXTIOX. "Those whom tin: Gods would des troy they fir.-t make mail." And thus it seems the Democracy of our coun ty will la- "iloue :r" in (lie coming eiimp:nsn. The convention which has just adjourned was magnificent in its want of unity; even Denioerii' ic party i!isei!ine could not keep the delegates in llie truces. Several bolted ami were 0:113- induced to come lmck by beinii allowed ! dictate their own terms. The Chairman felt il incumbent on him to state thtit lie woul 1 do as he pleased about snp oorting the nominees of the conven tion and other delegates were subject !o similar idiosyncrasies. Out of such confusion a miscarriage con Id only come, and it came in the shape of the ticket presented. The nanus of many on it are the names ot men whose sole means of livelihood are politics, while the names of many of the more intelligent and prominent Democrats are consjiiciou crly by their absence. When the name of one of the members of the latter class was put before the convention it was thrown aside for one promi nent cniy in its obscurity, as for in stance the name of Charles Goldman fcr the Assembly. The nomJnecs Us the legislature are of two sort:- men easily IniiiiKii aid i n 11 .1 or.ced and wl.o wid be careful to look out for Al before any tiling else. The first class is composed ot citizens wl.o have always stcod wcil in private life but wlio are totally incompetent to look out for the interests of tlie people of ibis county where keen legislative ability and experience is required. The other clas is com posed of men whom the party notn matincc llicin lo -k on as a necessnry evil to be endurnl on account of the influence they have with a certain clili-! of citizens. The ot her nomina tions are of 'he same kind and it will be wise for the pe-ipla to con sider well before they intrust their affairs into such haivds. (II.VKArif.K OK T4IE VOIII SATIOSS. A careful analysis of the character of the Democratic ticket will well repay the trouble. The ticket is the creature of a body preeminently dis tinguished for being manipulated by a few men lo further only their own selfKh ends. After they were pro vided for, ibey selected a few men, who, while being easiiy influenced and Controlled by their more wily compatriots, would, at the same time, giy. lo the ticket a show of respect ability and honesty. This is the case from the nominations for the Legis lature to those for the lowest offices. For the Legislature were nomi nated two classes; honest men, who, by reason of their want of legislative ability and experience, would, to a gn at extent be dependent on the judemen of others, its to the best way to act and work and who would tkerefrire be easily influenced for good or evil.

Capl Sharp us Chairman explained that the delegate lhr.un out from Agua Caliente was hecniirc tjie dele rate claiming the seal lived in Tempe. The Verde precinct was not signed bv any officer. Mr. Garcia lived iu I hieuix and had no right in the convention to represent Seymour, and auotlier thing three of these cre dentials were in the same handwrit ing and we believe them to have been manufactured in this city. In Mr Hall's case his credentials were re jected because it was in the same handwriting as two others of the convention. Mr JJolan addrrss-ed the convention 011 the rejections, claiming they were made because thev would not vote right. Mr Glee- son retired from the deliberations of the body in open convention and Crtllc.t on turee other ae egates tO leave also. Mr Lount said he did not think the committee on credentials was acting in their manner with any motive in view. lit knew their preference-, and did not think any two were fav oring the same candidates; he thought a precinct had the right to fleet delegates residing out of their precinct; he desired harmo;i3-, and to promote it thought it best to refer it back to the committee. Motion to refer back to the com miitee was il-.en mad:: and carried. Motion made that a recess of one hour be taken, to give the committee ti'ne to report.
