 w. J. EkEY,

 Nogales Preclnct. HARRY V. LEWIS
 Sec. Central Com. of Nogales. TO THE REPgBLICANs OF PIMA COUNTY:
 he central committee of tbis precinct have felt impelied to take tue above acton for the good of the psrty and We desire to cali your attention to the folio wing facts:
 First, That this caet out traitor ie chrome bolter of conventions, and has Fever been delegate to other than bolting convention since his residence in tnls precinct.
 Second, That he refused to vote at the lapt republican primary held ID the precinct, the same having been held under the direction of the county central committee, he being @ member of said committee and signed the call for said primaries.
 Further that hs is the organizer of soclety or organization whlcn holds Its meetings in secret places and under cloud of night snd endeavors to concoct schemes to defeat the repu blican ticket, such actions as these belong only to D. sceme and time servers snd not to & man 6esiiious of the success of his party. They are the actions of man whose sole idea is rule or rum, and who fer personal gain gain betrsys his party.
 Toe editor of the Ossis devotes almost his entire issue of November to 8 "Statement in Reply to the Calumny Circulated by the Alleged Republican Committee of Nogsles."
 The article in its entirety is sn out pouring of wrath against the A. P. A'P, and alleges that the ticket of the re. public6ns in this county was not re- publican ticket but an A. P. A. ticket ana the editor of the Oasis, with this premise, as basic, proceeds to score the unboly continuation iu unmsasured terms. From the best information obtsinable the circular above repro duced has the virtue of truth, and is a just condemnation of man wbo has arrogeted to teach the creed to the re- pubicans of this county. The ticket which the Iepu olicans cf Pima placed in the field during the campaign which has just closed, wes nominHted Tn 8 regularly held republican convention and was composed of representative men and reputable cit'zene. IL was plainly the duty of the Oasis man, as a reppb- licae, to have supported the ticket. and i: his ambitions were not realized to have taken hls defeat gracefully. The charge of fraud the Oasis makes against the republican convention is Sholiy without foundstlon in fact, ard has for its only reason the disappointment it's editor felt at not receiving the promin- snce to which he considered himself en- titled, even against the wishes of his party.
 The repu blloans of Pima county, es well ss elss ~ here, will not submit to the self-asserted authority of any one msD, as many have found to their chsgrip. Worthy services secure recognition; aud it is the duty of all loyal republicans to ubmit to the wishes. of the majority. even though their personal ambitions and thirst for prominence are not erat> flied thereby.
