Arizona republican., 1899-05-03

among certain classes and in certain quarters that his overthrow would be cOmpasSed So the only surprise which has befalien the most careful re- publican students of the situation is tne defeat of Christy for treasurer
 The bases upon which the foregoing republican predictions were .n2le were only the less important causes lead ing to certain effects. The Cn1cr- tunate selection of the head of the ticket, it was predicted, would be the prime cause 5f disaster The result shows that the prediction was accurate. Tn6, republican candi- date, J. D. Monihon, was so weak that in spite of the fact that his opponent, MT Gang. without any personal effort in his own behalf, without the support Of his c.Wn party newspapers, and without the apparent active effort Of ais own central committee was elected ' by a majority almost as great as that by which ehe republican candidate was elected two years ago.
 Such a head Of a ticket could not but be disastrous to the rest of it. With a strong candidate for mayor Prescott would have easily received the eleven votes needed by him, Christy would almost certainly have been elected and it is probable enough en- thusiasm would have been thrown into the fight to save Lauver in the Third ward
 The republican defection with re- spact to the head of the ticket was really much greater than the figures show. He received scores of demo- cratic votes. He was almost Openly supported by many prominent demo- crats.
 Taking all these facts into consid- eraticn, the election does not indicate that Phoenix is less republican than it was two years ago, but it does show that the time has passed, as it passes some time in the growth of every city, when a small convention of the dominant party can enlist the P2rty's endorsement Of Q bad choice.
 There was net a great d6al of inter est taken in the election, though larger percentage than usual Of the registered vote was cast. This was sx- pected, because the manner Of the reg istratiOn brought out a more reSP0n- si5le list of voters.
 A large, part of the vote was cast early, and practically all of it half hour before the closing of the polls. The socialist labor party boiled about seventy-fve/ votes, about half the esti- mate made by the leaders of the party The result of the election by wards is as follows:
