Arizona republican., 1890-10-31
THE OUTLOOK FOR SUCCESS.

Smith had pitted against him very un- popular man and his majority was phe- nomenal. In short Mir. Smith had walkover. But this year the conditions are changed. In every county the Re- pubicans have put forward their very best men for the county offices, and are not only all working harmoniously and enthusiastically for them but for MT. Cheyney and the Joint Councilman as we'll.
 In Apache county, where in 1888 Smith had majority of 269, the Repub- lcans are doing yeoman service. At the head of their ticket is Mir. J. II. Bow man for the Council, one of the best known cattle men and ranchers in Northern Arizona. MT. Bowman is a man popular with the masses and on the ticket with him are others equally capable and well known. Our advices show that the opposition is demoralized and the Republicans are confident of electing at least half their ticket, and say that Mir. Cheyney will come out of Apache with an even vote against Smith.
 In Cochise county, the home of both Mir. Cheyney and MT. Smith, the latter's majority two years ago was 479. At the same election Mir. Cheyney's majority for the Council was eos. From this it can be seen that MT. Cheyney is more popular man at home than MT. Smith and it is safe to wager that, with the record of each upon the silver question to speak for them, the majority for MT. Cheyney in his home county will not fall short of POO.
 In Graham county in 1888 there was a Democratic ticket and Peoples ticket in the field, the name of Mark Smith ap- bearing upon both. As a consequence he received 743 votes to Wilson's 156. This year this matter is changed. Mir. Cheyney's name heads the Peoples ticket. The voters of Graham county feel that Marcus A. Smith has not been true to his trust and there is strong feeling against him amongst the law abiding citizens for his work in defense of the Wham robbers. Besides the ad- vices received from residents of the county, a representative of TIE REPUB- LIcAN recently made an extended trip over the county and he reports that the tide is running strong in Cheyney's favor and that Smiths majority of 600 two years ago will not only be cut down to almost nothing, but that he will do well to come out even.
 From Gila county, where Smith re ceived 326 out of the 43S votes cast, the same conditions hold as in Graham county, and the majority will be in Mir. Cheyney's favor.
 In Maricopa county Smith received l0O6 majority two years ago. Then the Republican party of Maricopa county was demoralized and fighting within it's own ranks. Many heretofore earnest workers openly espoused MT. Smiths cause. That gentleman harped about that great bugaboo, the Peralta grant, until the people became alarmed. Be- sides that he promised to secure an appropriation for Capitol building, and numerous other spacious promises were made. The Peralta grant has been killed by the decision of the Secretary of the Interior, rendered last May. Mir. Smith failed to keep his promise about securing an appropriation for Capitol building, just as he has failed to keep many other promises made to the people. The positions of the two parties are exactly reversed from two years ago. Now the Democrats are demoral- ized, while the Republicans were never more united. Taking ali these things into consideration, Mark Smith will do well if he gets 250 majority in Maricopa county this year.
 Mohave county is usually Repubi- can county but even it gave MT. Smith 28 majority two years ago. The com pliment will not be repeated this year, but, instead, Mir. Cheyney will have not less than 50 majority.
 Pima county, which has elected about half of the candidates on each of the county tickets in years past, gave Mir. Smith a majority of 258. But great change in the sentiment of the people there concerning Mir. Smith has taken place in two years. Nine-tenths of the people of Pima county believed at the time that the Wham robbers were guilty and the feeling against the jury that ac- quilted them was intensely bitter. They believed that Marcus A. Smith was largely instrumental in securing the &C., quittal of that band of robbers. They further believe that his duty as a sworn officer of the government was rather to help to convict them than to defend them, and they declare that an official who deserts his post of duty to defend robbers and traitors against the flag is not fit man to represent the people in Congress. For this reason the voters of Pima county do not endorse Mark Smith and they will cast their ballots for George W. Cheyney, giving him larger majority than was given Smith in 1888.
 In Pinal county the same conditions existed as in Maricopa and in total of S65 votes Smith received majority of 509. This year the Republicans of Pinal are united and making a most vigorous campaign. The Democrats held m convention bnt are aimnlv run-
