CAUCUSES
The Anti-McGm Forces Carry tn
City After a Lively Fight.

The Anti-McGm Forces Carry the
City After a Lively Fight.
The Republican caucuses to elect dele.
gates to the county convention which
met last Monday were held Saturday
night. The fight was between the Nc
Gill and anti-McGill forces, the latter
being mostly for Merriam. The only
wards contested were the First and
Fourth, in both of which the anti McGill
tickets we're successful. There was no
opposition to the anti-McGill ticket in
the Third ward. Saturday morning
there was q probability of a lively fight
in the Second ward, but during the day
a compromise was made, and a ticket
made up containg one Merriam man,
one McGill man, and one Schefer man,
and one doubtful, which was a fair
enough division. The total result in the
city was 81 anti-McGill delegates to l
McGill man. The best of feeling pre-
vailed at all of the polls, and the ballot
ing was carried on according to law. No
Ill feeling remains to divide the party,
as was the case after the Democratic
caucuses, and there were no contesting
delegations this afternoon.
The following were the delegates
elected:
First ward-C. Polchow, A. ]. Morri-
son, B. Bangerter, Jr., Geo. Vosbeck,
F. Widell, j. Rude, Geo. Roos.
Anti McGill, SO; "Independent," or
McGill, SO.
Second ward-G. NJ. Phillips, L. d.
Saylor, F. +, Clements, g. w. Scherer.
Compromise ticket, 58.
Third wards. w. Burgess, Ed. Brad
ley, 90. Pitcher, j. T. Williams, g. L.
King, w. II. Pay, Chas. Crouch, Geo.
Pond.
Anti cGfh, 40.
Fourth ward-B. Tuttle, G. Peterson,
d. L. Clements, F. N. Merrill, J.. G. Pol
chow, M. B. Wood, H. G. Burgess, P. w.
Pitcher, s. johnson, 6. Owen, E. p.
Freeman, w. Z. Clark, j. WEIGH.
Anti-McGin, 1877; McGill, 100.
It will be seen that nearly the full Re-
publican vote was polled in the First
ward, and q heavy vote was polled in the
Fourth ward

IT is stated upon good authority of a
well-posted gentleman who has just
come from Western New York that the
Republicans can claim with absolute
confidence a gain of five hundred to a
county in that part of the state for Har-
rison over the Blaine vote, and two
thousand gain in Buffalo. What will
become of Cleveland's LOO plurality?

DON'T ScOLD

a man for groaning when he has
Rheumatism or Neuralgia. The pain
is simply awful. No torture in the
ancient times was more painful than
these twin diseases. But-oughtn't
a man to be blamed il, having Rheu-
matism or Neuralgia, he wont use
Ath-lo-pho-ros, when it has cured
thousands who have suffered in the
same way2 1t has cured hundreds
after physicians have pronounced
them incurable.
'The skin Of five physicians could not
cure mo of Rheumatism which had settled
In the hips, neck and shoulders. So intense
was the pain that sleep was almost impos-
sible. The first dose OF Athlophoros gave
me relief, and the third enabled me to sleep
for four and o half hours without waking.
I continued its use, and am now well"

MIXING NOTES.

Mir John B. Parish, who accompanied Messrs. Gage, Leach and Dulkee to So. nora for the purpose of examining the Oso Negro mine, ranks among the first mining experts of the country. His re- cent report on the Sheridan mine, in New Mexico, had the effect of knocking the bottom out of the stock of that concern.
 The new ccncentrators of the Old Guard are nearly completed. They are the old.fashioned buddles, and are two in number.
 Connection was made this week on the third level of the Old Guard with the combination shaft sunk between that property and the Lucky Cuss. The air in the mine is now as pure as need be.
 Sinking has been resumed in the main shaft of the Lucky Cuss from depth of 27o feet A new level will be run at 37o and the mine systematically opened. Considerable ore has been ralsed in sink ing and drifting, but no stopng has been done. The Lucky Cuss and East Side promise to be the coming bonanzas of the camp.

SAN DIEGO AS SEEN BY AN ARlzo- MAN.
 The editor of the Journal Miner is in receipt of private letter from San Diego which tells the situation there so we'll, th.t we take the libert, of publishing a portion of it. The letter was written by former resident of Yavapai county, who says:

PUBLIC OPINION.

Communications under this heading are solic- ted, but the EpITAPH will in no wise be respon- sible for the sentiments therein expressed. MEAN MEN.
 EDITOR EpITApH: A discussion has arisen in our circle as 10 the champion mean men, and we have decided to leave it to you, as an expert on such matters. Smith insists that the Nevada man who "docked" miner who was blown up into the air by premature explosion of giant, for the time occupied in ascending and decending, was the chief, while insist that the Tombstone representative of a wealthy Eastern company who sends his old boots to Boston by mail to have them half soled, in order to avoid spending any money in the camp, is the boss. Now give us your candid opinion. If you decide against me shall shoot you on sight. Very respectfully, your obedent servant. JEFFERSON JONES.
 The EPTrAPH will take the matter under consideration.

A painful accident occurred yesterday noon at the schoolhouss, whereby little Louie Eccles,on, son of MT. Robt. Ec- cleslon, was seriously if not dangerously injured. As the boys came out of school, a couple of wagons, one traled, were passing. The youngsters made rush in order to get ride. Louie climbed on the tongue of the trail, and fell, the wagon wheels cutting his head very severely. Dr. Fetternan was summoned and sewed up the scalp wounds, and the little fellow is now resting comfortably. If in. hammation does not set in, he will speed ilv racover

Superiatent c. R. Williams, of the Old Guard, has promptly responded to the request of the board of supervisors and put in substantial culvert on the road leading to Charleston, for the slum from the mill to flow through. It would have been better, however, had the county put in the culver, at i.s own expense. It is not the correct principle to declare mill tailings nuisance, as no obstacles should be thrown in the way of such en, terprises.
