Before now TIE OASIS has had oc- casion Go call attention to a would be political boss in Cochise county, who has many years past until recently ridden the republican party in that county-and also in the territory until he has ridden it almost to death. He WAS one of those who organized the Tombstone B-metallic League, every member of which contributed 10 fund which was sent east to aid the campaign of Bryan, and then he had the gall to go to the republican territorial convention where he tried to shut out of the convention William Shilliam, a duly elected delegate from Cochse county--a republican whose shoe latchet he is unworthy to loose. And after the election had landed President Mckinley in the White House, this same ''consisJent' republican was among those who en- deayored to fOist upon the republicans of Arizona another "bimetallist" who had contributed liberally toward the national democratic campaign fund.
 When at Benson a couple of weeks ago THE OASIS editor was shown a couple of letters this would-be boss wrote during the campaign of last year, which, in view of his profess sions and pretensions make very in- teresting reading. The letters were typewritten, but they bear in ink the unmistakeable signature of the party who dictated them. At considerable expense THE OASIS secured photo graphic copies, which may be inspect ed by anyone so curious as to des ire to do so. Herewith we copy them in full:
 TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Oct. 18th, 1898. MR. FRANK FARLEY,
 Bisbee, AriZ.,
 SIR
 We are entering upon campaign that will end in giving us officers fof the next two years. In my opinion neither of the parties that have can didates up have given us man de- serving of the support of an honest man, except, possibly, he that is fol Treasurer on the Republican ticket WolcOtt. He is the only man on tho ticket that l can vote for. Bradley i: such a sucker and one of the old ring Swain is not fit for the office of attor ney, as he does not know enough. Al to the man that calls himself 'hili gitimate son of herl," that fellow Harwood, or as he calls it, 'arwDod he is an Englishman by birth and hal never become naturalized. This stand ready to prove whenever an op pOrtunity lsic) shows. As to the rest it is Hobson's choice. We should have board of supervisors that know something of business, and, above all in some way, break old Montgomery influence, and save something fol the people of the county. They hav' divided the monies of the peOpl, among themselves for lol this man, years, and it should stop. As to tn, legislature, they are all one with loI of sharks, and each one wants to gel to the Capitol that he may mak, something. To hell with them all
 send you an AMERICAN, not knowing whether you get them ol not. They are my kind.
 Yours, etc.
 A. l.. Grow.
