Regular Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN.

The OOnStltutlOnal electlOn Tn Olu Pima is over, and right merry affair it was. The Republicans were jubilant from the start. They regarded the fight as their victory before the dawn of cleo tion morning, but they never lost sight of the proposition to add to their victory by getting just one more vote, and right and left the shoulder strikers of Repub- licanism worked to advantage. The careful thinkers of the party, who were posted on Pima county's politics, were of the opinion that Heney's desertion of his party and his kniting of his ticket in the person of Barnes, would result in Barnes friends taking precautionary measures as a matter of salvation, and combining in the outside districts to save Barnes at all hazards. no matter whether the balance of the Democratic ticket walked on crutches or not. The Barnes managers put out Republican feelers in all directions, but soon recog- nized the fact that anything like organ ized Republican aid was out of the ques- tiOn and that if the principal nominee
  porridge at all, it must be from table too high for his compadres to reach, otherwise he must twine with the wood bine. To the friends of Barnes, of Democratic proclivities, there was no halfway business about their work. They simply went for everything in sight, and with great activity they went about it, too. It was a race of the devil take the hindmost, and the man that runs the fastest is the man that takes the cake, and what a swift-legged fellow Barnes proved to be. Like Tempus, he was fugiting.
 In southern Pima the balance of the Democratic ticket was not in it. The friends of Hereford counted from the outset that Republican votes would carry him through, and there is no re- sOnable doubt that he boiled many of the younger Republicans enumerated among his list of friends. Without this Repu blican aid Hereford would not have received the heavy vote he has boiled. The friends of General Rouse counted that he would poll straight Demo- cratic vote and secure the entire strength of his party, but in the artillery fight that followed the fusilade on Barnes, Rouse's gun got spiked and refused to go of, and no report of his having done any heavy shooting in southern Pima has reached Tucson. Rouses' old-time political teachings led him to be suspi- cious of the Democratic party of Arizona and he watched their movements as keenly as possible from Tucson. Gen eral Rouse must admit, as he gazes upon his total vote, that political cam paign as Democratic candidate cannot be made without putting money into the canvass. The cost of Barnes campaign must have been very heavy. Figures in the hundreds are not supposed to cover the amount. The lubrIcation of the Barnes wheel was ample, but Rouse ap- peared to have a hot box from the scratch.
 The Democratic prophets, Heney and OBrien, are wiser men than they were on Monday. They rode a Democratic mule with inClinatious according to the old tradition, and, bruised and dsfg- ured, they have been carried from the ring, battered, bespattered and all broken up, they are meditating on the panorama they gazed on Tuesday. They have seen disrupted Democracy get it's
  backs turn and stand as stone wall, against which their little missels fell as hallstones tall on New England roof, these two kids now appreciate that the weapons they so dexterously threw against the cast-iron judge were boome- rangs on the glass houses of their friends Hereford and Rouse. They see now that their enemy has ridden in on their own burro, and know that they owned the beast of burden. Well, Jack and Heney are young yet, and the best lessons of life are learned by experience, even if they hurt little ; in fact, the more pain ful the highroad to knowledge the bet ter the teachings are remembered. The boys ought not to forget this lesson for lifetime, and in years to come they will avoid the gun that shoots both ways; they will pull the trigger with a string, or they will climb tree.
 Let us see how this business. affects the Republicans. The Republican party was divided into two factions up to this election, when harmony was restored, and all was serene and lovely. That is, lovely to a certain extent, beyond which | was a dead line. The active workers of one branch of this party suspected that the leaders of the other faction would | not be able to put in line some of their | followers, who were chronic grum blers and constitutional bolters, and their suspicious were right. Early on cleo tion morning these birds of prev were | on the wing, and ravenously did they tear their prey. The Crlttenden candi- | date of the Republican party had be- longed to the faction supporting the Wolt1ey administration, and with talons and bills did these birds bounce down upon him. When the Democrats sup porting Barnes came to the conclusion that they would elect Barnes at all haz- ards, it was figured up that a place for one Democrat must be made on the Re- publican ticket. So they looked around for what they considered the weak member of that ticket, and they lit on Richardson as being the man that would be stabbed by the bolting and barnacles of the Repub- lican ship, so they said stick the knife into Richardson he is the easiest to slaughter. Consequently he received the stabs of his own party and the thrusts of the Democracy. One of the most prominent of the bolting Repub- licans who fought Richardson in the in- terest of Richardson's Democratic en- emy-Roskruge-was a recent univer- sity appointee, and it is understood his knifing of the Republican ticket will re- ceive the attention it merits. The Re- publicans have enough to do to fight the enemy without being called upon to fight Territorial appointees, es- pecially at the polls.
 The Barnes Democrats cunningly threw out intimations that inasmuch as renegade Republicans were knifing
