 Ihree weeks after the nomination of II the democratic ticket in Graham conn II v nnds 1t much stronger than whe,, IL was named. What little dissatisfac Il tioh that was noticeable after the | county convention has passed away ana old party and individual differ ehces have been buried out Of sight now and every element of partv strength is in line for the campaign i The county central committe is mak- | Ign arrangements for a systematic | campaign, which will be opened at Morenci on the evening of September 29th. The best party speakers will De present and all the candidates will be on hand. Morenci is expected to make a record for democratic srength at the November election. and the meeting there on the 29th is expected to be one of enthusiasm and a great demonstration. Among those who will speak in the county during the cam paign is President Andrew Kimbali. the head of the Mormon church in this county, and Hon. Wiley E. Jones.
 
 They claim that the republicans should stand on the principles of the republican party and nominate a full ticket and stand by it Loyalty. wheth- CT any one is elected or not On the other hand. it is contended that the only possible chance of any measure Of success is to endorse the strong democratic candidates. such as Rice for the council, Parks for sheriff. Gamble for treasurer. Moody for school superintendent, and perhaps one or two others. and then concentrate the fight on two or three offices Just , what course the convention will pur- sue, doth not yet appear. The demo- : crats are perfectly indifferent as to 3 what is done by the republicans. The democratic candidates will make their fight as unit and will elect their en- tire ticket
 All is not peace and good will among the republicans in this county There was a very bitter Murphy and anti j. Murphy fight in this county two years and all the wounds made then have not healed up. Burt Dunlap and Mike Ohl led the Murphyites and Frank l. Dysart and Charlie Solomon led the antis. and won the first fight by getting control of the Graham delegation to the convention which elected dele !. gates to the national convention al ' Philadelphia. Mir Dysart went to 2 Philadelphia and Mir Dunlap remained , at home. In the next bout Dunlap ], and Ohl won fall and controlled the . delegation from this county to the ter ', ritorial convention which nominated 7 N. O. Murphy for congress. Dunlap and Ohl have kept up the fight on by
 sart and last winter made an eff
 fort to oust him from the office oi
 clerk of the disrict court. In this they failed. Frank will probably be the controlling influence in the county
 convention.
 c. c. Belknap has announced that
 he will resign as postmaster of Solo l knoxville. He has been allied with I the Dunlap Ohl Murphy wing in the ]. party in Graham county, and was about the only one in Solomonville that joined in the hunt for Dysart'a j. political scalp. It was reported that , he was to succeed Dysart as district clerk. Charles F. Solomon is an ap plicant for the post office; also E. c
 Kinyou, who came here a year ago and has had employment in the Bulle tin office
 The nomination of J. F. Wilson, by the democrats at Tucson, was Teceiv- ed with satisfaction here. Those in the county who had given support to MT. shannon and hoped for his cleo. tion had known for several days be- fore the convention met that their e. T T. lNfz son has many admirers in Graham county who, assisted loyally by the Shannon men, will try to break all previous records this fall in the size of the democratic majority in Graham county.
 . Republicans hereabouts are at sea. so far as knowing anything definitely . about who will be the republican can , didate for congress in Arizona. Let ters have been received here from w. F. Cooper, of Tucson, which places him out of the running; he is not seeking the nomination and will not } accept it. Republicans also agree that W. F. Nichols Is not probable candidate. Nichols had an experience of running against a democrat for a territorial office in 1890 when he was the nominee for coucilman at large, running against Judge Camp bell of Phoenix. Of course Nichols was defeated and that experience has lasted him to the present time, as he could have mad the nomination many times since then had he desired it. George Christy could have the Graham county delegation whenever 1t is con trolled hY Frank Dysart. MT. Dysart
