 The republican convention which
 met in Tucson on Wednesday. Septem'
 Der I9th. completed the ticket to be
 submitted by the party to tho voters oi
 this county. Brief sketches of the can dldates are now in order, that the voters
 may know for whom their suffrages are
 asked. It is we'll known that as far as the
 county tickets are concerned the gentle
 men composing the republican ticket
 are with one or two exceptions probably
 best known. As previously stated in these columns, the delegates composing
 the county republican convention, on
 assembling, were untrammeled by any
 pledges to any special candidate and in consequence the convention was en- tirely free from any complication arising from combinations The result was that a strong ticket was nominated and the nominations throughout were clearly a case of the office seeking the man and not the man seeking the office. The best illustration and proof of this assertion is, that not in single case was man nominated for any position for which he had in any sense been an aspirant before the meeting of the con- ventiOn.
 GENERAL THOMAS r. WILSON, The republican nominee for delegate to congress. is a lawyer. native of Pennsylvania and resident of Tucson. He is said to be gentlemen of fine oratorical ability and of lneproachable character, enjoying lucrative practice. He will make an active canvass of the territory and should be elected as our next congressman.
 ]. R. KILPATRICK,
 The republican nominee for joint councilman from the northern district. IS a native or Ohio. and is at present engaged in banking business at Flagstaff where he has large property interests. He was engaged in mercantile business there and in that capacity formed very extended acquaintance and became very popular. MT. Fitzpatrick is of the simon pure stripe of republicans, while by his personal popularity he will attract many democratic voters to his support. and will without doubt carry the entire northern precincts of this county almost solid.
 J. ". W. MOORE,
 The nominee for councilman, from thls county, was born near Eaton, Ohio. about forty miles north of Cincinnati. November 9th, IS46. A coincidence in his case, it will be noted, is that the elect ion this year occurs on his birth day. In 1855 the family removed to Illinois, where Mir. Moore received a a good eduation and in 1879 came to Arizona to try his luck and fortune. He found employment on Big Bug as an assayer and resided there and on Lynx creek until about one year ago when he removed to Prescott, where he Is temporarily residing at present. al' though he is still identified with the mining interests of Lynx creek, where with his former partner. MT. Doggett he 1 has opened up and still continues to work a valuable mine, the Amulet, be- ing now sole owner ny the purchase of his partners interests. During the period of his residence there, he was in the employ of the Howell company and also kept general merchandise store.
 Mr Moore is also vice president, and m the absence of the president has since its organization been serving in the capacity of president, of the Arizona Ore company. an institution which pays cut thousands of dollars every month to miners in the purchase of their ores Since the absence of MT. Cockburn in the east MT. Moore has llso had the sole management of the bus mess. He is man a of conservative views, quiet in his manners, attends strictly to his own business, of sound judgment and is in no sense of the word . politician. having never participated actively or aggressively in political mat CTS preferring to enjoy his own views md exercise his political privileges and wiling to accord to others the same igh., being just such man e will nake wise, conservative and safe legis- ator It was with reluctance that MT. .ioore consented to allow his name to e presented to the convention for any ffice, but will use all honorable means pr his election, and if elected, as he hould, and no doubt will be, will ren- CT such service to his constituency lat no one need ever feel ashamed of avins voted for him. |.
