SOME POLITICS.
Citizen Man Corners a Prominent


 Democrat
 While gliding around the streets las, night the CITIZEN reporter encountered s prominent Democrst-one who hold, high position in official life and ons whose word IS just about authority ir that party. He was in talking mood but requested that his name not be mentioned for the reason that he was 4 m'dest man in all things and moreover a very poor talker.
 "Weli," said he "we will make q fight for the spells. We intend to make a vigorous fight too. It is our intention to make the Mining Index our organ and 1t whl be issued shortly ss a daily and l think We have money esough to keep it running, even after the campaign, although We suffer defeat"
 "Who will be your candidate for delegate to Congress?"
 "Eithor Rowe or Head. The are boib from layapai county and are very prominent and able men,"
 Who will you send to the national conventiOn.?"
 Our delegate will be either Meade of Cochlse, Purdy of Yuma, Bolan of Gra- ham, Hughes of this county or Bailey 't Gala county. These men are all can- dldates for the position and have littla room now upon which to base our onin. l"n as to who will be the successful man."
 Who will Dc nominated by your party for Sherifr?'
 "lt IS hard t. tell. but my opinion is that l.. o. Shaw will be the nominee. Paul Moroney, Sr., ls talked Of but I under~tnnd that he positively decliue- 10 run Thomas Gates IS also mentioned and k. N. LeAtherwood. I think, how ever, that Shaw will be the nominee"
 How about county treasurer?"
 The nominee of our party will per hhps be either H. <. Stevens or W. s, OUry. These hre the only men I have heard mentioned for that position"
 Who are the candidates for recordery
 For that position but two men arc spoken of m our party. Hon. Fred Hughes IS positively candidate and Mayor c. M. Strauss is talked ol aud will probably be candidate in the con- vention."
 Who do you think will be nominated for district attorney2"
 'lt IS hard to tell. The only names I have heard mentioned are those of B. fl. Hereford and w. NJ. Lowell, and I pre- sume the nrminee will be one of those two gentlemen; there may be, however, a dark horse"
 "What Is your opinion in regard to the general political outlook"
 Well, sir; have several opinions but 1 not desirous of expressing them just at present, although you have ap- proached me Tn manner that makes 1t unplea=ant for ne to do SO. I will say to you, however, that the disposition of the Democrats is to nominate no man who is now in office and want to say further that none of them will be rominsted. We want a new deal. We have number If men in official posi- ton and Tn private life whom the party regard ss men who can not hs trusted and who are sn injury to the interests of the partyg"
 ''Our object IS to have an organ. The rank and file of the Democracy feel that the Star does not represent the views of the party and they want a paper m this that will stand true to Demo- crate principles"
 "WhEt do you think of the relative strength of the two parties in this 
 "Ii is hard to say; but I do not be- ieve there Is much difference as regards strength. I do think this, however, that lefore election day comes around there sill be Citizens ticket in the field. It - early to predict movement of that zlnd but think such will be the case. would much rather See fair fight be- .ween the Republicans and Democrats, put l now believe the fight will be a hree-cornered oue," How about the legislative ticket and he representation from this county Tn he legi-lature?
 "I can't say as to that. But one thing | s certain, Pima county has always had l 10 fight most of the counties m the ter l ltory. The next session she will have l 70 fight more than ever before and We will need some good men tn re- Have the Democrats taken any steps l n the present campaign?" "Oh yes, our central committee had | meeting the other day but transacted l 70 business of importance to the public. I P. R. Tuily is our chairman and W. B. I Hopkins, secretary. We intend, how syer. to open the campaign with vigor lui while the balance of power may be | .gaiust us, make a hard fight"
