 Flagstaff, Ariz., Oct. 22.-While the democrats of Coconino county have used such excellent judgment in the nomination of their ticket, the repub- licans have appreciated the necessity of placing their best men to the front. While it is an acknowledged fact that the democrats have the best of i;, they must of necessity keep in the middle of the road and place their best foot fore most, for their opponents have their fighting clothes already made, and they fit well. With w. G. Stewart, of Coconino county, as the republican nominee for delegate to Congress, ad- mitted to be one of the strongest men in the territory; Fred Nellis, of Will Hams, their nominee for the council; Harry Fulton, of Flagstaff, their nom- inee for the assembly, and l. N. Lewis, of Flagstaff, their nominee for sheriff, the fight must necessarily be vigorous one. Thesem singly and collectively will bring strength to their ticket. The hardest fighting will be centered on the sheriff. The republican nom- inee for the position is undoubtedly the most popular individual on either ticket. Newt Lewis is anything but a politician, but for that reason his nom- ination was demanded by the most prominent people of both parties. Mir. Lewis is plain ranchman, personally and politically clean, giant in intel- feet, as brave as he is faithful, as care ful as he is thorough, his friends will contest for his election as decisively and with the same earncstness that he will display in the discharge of his du- ties if elected.
 That there is uuanimity of thought aud action in the republican ranks of Coconino county was evidenced in con vention when every man on their ticket was nominated by exclamation. This result was reached by the understand ing that Newt Lewis was to be placed upon the ticket for the position of sheriff, for by that token they expect to win the day; and if they win it, it will be through the strength that is brought the ticket through that fact. The above is taken from the Albu- querque Democrat. The correspond ent is evidently thoroughly acquainted with the situation in this county, He is frequent visitor to this county and close observer of political affairs. and can perhaps predict the outcome of the election better than resident of this county.
 Under the heading of ''Will Fight to a Finish" the Albuquerque Daily Democrat of the same date, says edi- torially as follows:
 1.-The democrats and republicans of Coconino county, Arizona, one of the new counties in that territory, have q clean field. No third party has dcvel- oped, and from the unanimity of action of each of the two old parties, none may exist. The democrats have nom- mated a strong ticket, and have, in reality, the best of the fight, as the county, so far as is known, is democratic, by a light majority. The republicans, realizing the necessity of following the democratic idea of purity of char acter and caapbility in each of their nominees, have nominated all especially strong ticket. The sherifi's office seems 10 be the pivotal point of the ticket, and the republicans have advanced their position by nominating Newt Lewis, one O. Coconino county's pioneer ranchmen and most popular citizens for that position; hence the fight must be to 6 liDlsh."
