to vote. On the legislative ticket k. C. Brown was dropped and A. IT. Noon, populist, was substituted; and for supervisor George ?. Scholeheld was dropped and W. N. Cummings, popu- list, was substituted. Another pre- amble recites:
 WHEREAS, it is the duty of all re- publicans to support the nominees or their party.
 Of course it is, and TIE OASIS ana it's editor always do so. But the A. P. A. organization is not the repuoli- can party. And, if Messrs. Ekey, Lewis, Chenoweth and Williams are true republicans, why did so many Of their republican followers vote Tor Mark Smith? An analysis of the vote will hear out the assertion that votes for Doran were traded to Mark Smith for2democratic vote for ChenoweLh. MT. R. D. George kept a tab on the votes as they were counted, and his table bears out this assertion.
 Another preamble reads: WHEREAS: A. T. Bird is using his paper to defeat
 all the nominees of the party
 NIT. Bird was not using the columns
 of his paper to defeat all the nominees
 of his party. The ticket was an A. F. A. ticket. The convention which
 nominated the ticket was dominated
 by the A. P. A. organization. the pri-
 mary elections were controlled by the 1 A. P. A. and those who are against that organization controlling the re-
 publican party remained away from the polls. In Tucson there were only 1 1O2 votes cast at the primary election, and in Nogales the polls were thrown open to democrats and populists, while above forty staunch republicans re- fused 10 vote. And here comes the nub of the huge joke of Messrs. Ekey
 and Lewis:
 RESOLVED, that the said A. T. Bird | is hereby cut of from all fellowship with the republican party of this
 county, aud shall have no voice or yolt
 in any republican primary, or repu0ll' can meeting that shall thereafter DC
 be held in this county.
 That is decidedly rich. Usually party managers desire to conciliat' men of their political faith who ar' , capable and effective workers. | , Messrs. EKey and Lewis know any thing-which most people doubC-the. 1 should know that DO committee cal bind any of it's successors, and tha 7 no committee can bind any republican i meeting of any kind whatever. As 2 republican MT. Bird has right to at tend and participate in any republical ] meeting, and he will do so if he likes s until such meeting by vote exclude
 him. But no meeting of republican
 in Nogales or Pima county will eve n exclude MT. Bird But when an allege e republican meeting rules out of orde v resolutions endorsing republican plat s forms and nominees, and popuiist ,- and democrats are counted to rui them out of order, MT. Bird and hl
 straight republican friends can alway d be depended upon to walk out. MI o Bird and his political friends are r' n publican from principle and they wi l. always be found standing up for r o publican doctrine. Men who cannC V do that and are always connubiatin e with democrats and popuhsts, an 3. using secret religious-political soci e ties to control the republican part n cannot have their support. Whe e Messrs. Chenoweth, Williams, EXC
 and their A. P. A. associates at Tu ,r son, quit trying to shut from conside 8. ation good republicans, and are willir D to give party consideration to all mt a a within the party who have elemen
