In the Second Third and Fourth wards alone nearly as many votes were counted as are usually cast by beth parties in the whole city at a munich pal or general election. This shows the existence Of one Of several facts; either that the democratic party in Phoenix has been growing within the last two years, or that there never were any republicans 10 speak of or that the democrats yesterday were active and migratory. circulating from one polling place to another.
