THAT mqn lives in the hearts of
 those best acquainted with him, was
 never better exemplified than by Robert Paul's cauvass for the office of sheriff.
 Everywhere he is received as becomes the man who has done more to estab- fish law and order in Pima county than any single man that ever crossed our borders. His name puts eEthuelasm in- to the campaign. His presence puts en- thueiasm into the hearto If those who lived in this county in the days when the eheriff's office had to be filled with man of iron nerve. The successes of Mir. Paul in running to earth such gangs as infested the county in the days of l the Redfields, and like law breakers, is still green Tn our memory. Who can forget his great suocess in killing the train robbers in Mezico? Leaving here as be did single handed on that tough mission. who is going to forget the | eventful night on the Tombstone stage when with two dead companions by bis side, he fought to preserve the property of others? Robert PauIs name will gc down in Pima coupty's history as a mar who never fiinched at duty involving on him. Even hIs strongest politica
 enemies must admire his manhood. Hi: capacity has been tried time and again
 and always filled the measure of the peoples expectation. Mir. Paul is { property owner in Tucson, and for yeart has been liberal patron of our com
 mercial hou ses. He is as much identi
 fled with the welfare of Pima county a: any man in 1t. Pre-eminently Rober
 Paul is man of the people, and his pop
 ularity with those appreciating the eter nal fitness of things will elect him il Novem Der, and our people will have
 man they can trust in any emergency.

Cochise County Democrats.

The following is the ticket nomin- ated:
 For councilman B A Packard ot Tombstone; for sssemblymen E T Hams of Bowie " A Fiege of Russell vile E A Arnold of Bisbee; for sheriff Scott White of Bowie; for treasurer M D Scribner of Tombstone; for district attorney Edward Land of Tombstone; for recorder Hugh Conlan of Sulphur Spring Valley; for assessor Otto Moore of Wilcox; for probate judge J F Duncan of Tombstone; for surveyor B Riggs of San Pedro; for supervlsOrs U Vaughn and J s Merrill of St. David.
 W K Perkins of Tombstone and Frank Hare of Bisbee, were elected chairman and secretary of the county central committee. The various deleg- ations were instructed to present to the chairman and secretary the names of the committeeman from their respective precincts, and the conventisn adjourned. The general remark, after adjourn ment, was that 1t was the coldest and least enthusiastic convention that ever sat Tn Cochise county. Defeat stares the ticket in the face, and they all know it in advance. Before calling the con- vention to order one delegate was heard to assert that there was "no use in hoid- Ing the convention-the ticket Is de- feated right now."-Oasis.

An Old Time Hnrse Race,

The horse race on Sunday last at Sil- yer Lake between Tucson and Phoenix ponies in which the latter got away with the stakes, appears to have been but a repetition of race that was run Jan uary r, 1874, as appears from CITIZEN of January 24, 1874. 1t says:
 "The race at the Halfway house on the Lowell road last Saturday attracted Q good many people thither and exclte d some general interest. The racers were Roddick's ''Bunkey" of Tucson and Q sarrel Alley Fan belonging to Moore, of Phoenix, distance 40 yards and a stake of S200 side. Fan was decided a win her by two feet. Roddick informs us that "Buukey" was poorly rode and is of the opinion that properly handled his animal would have easily won."
 Roddick, the owner of the Tucson pony, is we'll remembered by all old timers. He kept Sahuarita station or the Altar road, now known as "Jim Browne" at the time ot bis death some years ago.

THE IRRIG TON MOVEMENT.

The irrigation movement IS accumul- atiug tremendous impetus, which | visible not alone in the west, but throughout the country. The work of orgau ization and agitation, through national, interstate, state and county associations, will 90 forward with re- newed energy from now until the next great international congress assemblies at Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the autumn of 1895. That this movement is the hope of prosperity for millions and that it will safeguard our institu- tions with new bLlwsrk of liberty, ID the form of small landed proprietors, is the confident expectation of Western men. Their appeal is to patriotism md the best spirit of humsu uity. They seek to build to the credit of their country, to the good of their race, to the glory of God.-From Progress of Irrigation Though. in the Vest" by William E. Smythe, October Review of Reviews.

LET us ask the voters of Pima county where a more proficient and economical man can be found than Mir. Schumsch- CT? For supervisor first class busi- ness man is an absolute necessity. It IS an absoluts requisite to protect the in- tereets of the people. The best proof of mans business ability is mans sue cess, and MT. Schumacher is a success ful man, gained by Intelligent, hard work. He has several times occupied public positions, always with credit to himself and advantage to the county. Tn public life he has sometimes been obliged 10 do his duty as he saw it, IT, respective of his own personal prefer ences, and a man that can do this is al ways very safe man to entrust with public interests. MT. Schumacher will be elected.

FoR probate judge the republicans selected mining man MT. s. B. Conley, a man who may be called one at the creators of Olive Camp, iuasmuch as he was the locator of the Olive mine, and before that time WAS lessee of the old San Xavier mine. MT. Conley has the we'll earned reputation of having paid the highest prices to miners, and having paid every miner who ever worked for him, to the last cent. There is no man in Pima county better adopted for probate judge than MT. Conley. On educational matters MT. ConIey is perfectly conversant, having spent a large portion of his life in acquiring the intricacies of advanced educational theories, until he is proficient to degree in this direction. If the voters will consider the eminent fitpess of MT Conley for the probate iudgeship, he will surely be elected, and the interests of ohr county will be subserved. Le' the people take this matter in hand, ant do their free duty by the county.

OF INTEREST TO LANDOWNERS

A witness in court at Dubuque, few days az injected some politics into the answers of 8 cross questioner and ex- pressed the feelings of a good many democrats throughout the country. Ire name of the witness was Ward and this is the account of incident:
 "Mr. Ward, did I understand you to say that the land IS not worth as much now es it was two years ago!"
 ''Yes, sir, that's what I said"
 "Will you please tell the court why ii is not worth as much now as two years ago?"
 "Well, since Cleveland was elected the price of land and everything else has gone to the devil.'
 This answer brought down the house, and democrats and republicans alike II the court grew red iu the face trying to keep from laughing outright.
 "Are you a republican. MT. Ward?
 "No, sir; out if things keep on tht way they are now, don't think it will be long before I will be one."-Sioux City Ia Journal

MIR. EB. WILLIAMS, for district attor- ney, is gaining ground every day. He is first class lawyer, and a splendid man for the offi,e. Our citizens will dc themselves proud by electing Mir. Will Hams. The Mexicans Of Tucson were anxious to hear Mir. Williams patriotic ic Mexican speech on the 10th of Sep tember. MT. Williams had carefully prepared himself for the occasion and to make his speech In Spanish. Al though the Invitation had been extend ed to Mir. Williams. some democratic politicians got in their work and de- prived our Mexicens friends of treat in the line of speech. We hope the Mexican citizens of Tucson will see the matter righted on November 6.

THEPsICE OF CATTLE.

The following dispatch from San An tonIo, Texas, Sept 30. 1894, is Of inter est to farmers everywhere, because surplus of cattle in Texas will lessen the value there, in Chicago and elsewhere iu the U0itsd States:
 It IS claimed by cattlemen of south west Texas that the new tariff bill will result in serious injury 10 the cattle in- terests of this section. The duty IS re- duced from sl0 per bead to 20 per cent ad valorem. and 1t is estimated that at last 100000 cattle will be brought into Texas from Mexico within the next sixty days.
 This is another of those 'tarif reform blessings. With absolute free trade there will he still larger receipts of for eign cattle and still lower prices for American cattle.
