Arizona republican., 1895-04-26
Everything Points to a
Republican Victory.
The City Has a Clear and Un-
disputed Republican Majority
A Forecast and the Figures and
CirCum stances on Which it Is
Based.

The political waters in which half
dozen gentlemen of Phoenix will find
healing week from next Tuesday and
in which as many more will find dis
astrous overwhelming are beginning to
move.
Who will be the healed and who will
be the overwhelmed?
Republicans yesterday with greater
confidence than ever, claimed the
elec ton of the whole ticket. Demo-
Gratis less sanguine than ever admitted
that they did not hope to elect all their
ticket. Committees from both parties
after thorough investigation as possible
of the registration list have announced
the result of their investigations so far.
Members Of the Republican committee
after having ascertained the politics of
all persons concerning whom informa-
tion could be obtained and cutting the
doubtful vote in two in the middle
claim that the city is Republican bya
majority OF something more than $50.
Members of the Democratic committee
by practically the same plan Of investi-
CATION concede Repu blicen majority
of sixty.
As as already been mentioned the
| increase over the registration of year
ago is about 800. OF these new voters
fifty come from ChurchilI's addition and
their politics are known. A very large
majority is Republican. This leaves
$50 to be classified. 1t iss not likely
though that more than two thirds of
that 250 will vote. Some are not en-
titled to vote and will drop cut on
challenges. Others will pro badly not
be in the city and maybe not in the
territory On election day go that
altogether the doubtful vote which will
actually be cast will NOT be more than
100 ond these 151 are really doubtful SO
that any man who attempts to classify
them will be as likely to make mis-
take as to arrive at a correct con-
clusion.
Taking, therefore, Us basis. the re-
suit of the election a year ago, that is,
the average majority for the Republican
ticket, and adding to it the new vote
known to be Repu bIican and hall of the
doub btful vote, there appears TO be
Repu blcan majority CT not less than
125.
The First ward has received the
greatest increase in the new registrs-
tion and the increase so far as can be
ascertained is largely Repu b!ican. The
ward was Republican before. The
registration shows the least change in
the Second ward which, perhaps, is
Democratic, though it went Repu blican
last fall and Republican by q slender
majority last spring.
In the Tnird ward extensive and
doubtful changes have occurred, but
the most careful canvass of it Indicates
, that the Republicans have been
strengthened. The Fourth, though a
smaller ward. is believed to be little
stronger Repu blican than it was year
, ago, and it was certainly strong enough
then.
Among the Republican candidates
whose success more conservative DEM
ocrats are now conceding is Dennis for
councilman from the First ward who,
they say, will no doubt receive at least
the full vote of his party and that, OF
course, means election.
They claimed, though, the election OF
: McNair in the Third ward, by ma
iority of not less than twenty-five.
This claim was based on the supposi-
tion that that was the majority in that
+ ward. But the nomination of White,
independent Popuiist, last night has
!. made g fecast necessary and all agreed
that Peck would be the gamer, and
j maybe enough CT gamer to be coun-
Gilman.
+ The tickets At large though aside
e from the candidates for mayor and
s treasurer seem to be affected by eddies
i ard about equally affected. That is
: that while some may not receive full
, party vote, whatever is lest will be
i made I'D by votes from the opposite
: party. The decided advantage in favor
of the Republicans is therefore ap-
parent.
Gentlemen who have been feeling he
2 public pulse for symptoms Oh the
I mayoralty question believe that each
e candidate will get just what he ought
I to get as party man. Democrats who
admit this probability practically admit
the election of Evans.
