 Makeup of County Ticket.

books one law in the interest of labor, or if there had ever been any attempt to do so; if it wasn't a fact that bills of this kind had been voted down at the last session of the territorial legislature. And not a voice said him nay.
 The full republican ticket was present at the meeting, and at its conclusion there was an impromptu reception held, in which MT. Nor rison was overwhelmed with con- gratulations and many an old line democrat swung from his moor ings, and with a hearty word of good will, recognizing the absolute and unrefutable truth of his words, told him they were for him good and solid.

lican candidate for delegate to con gress, came into Williams from the east Tuesday morning on No. z, accompanied by the Flagstaff band and a full carload of enthusiastic republicans, who came to help the people of Williams make a repub- lican love feast of the day
 MT. Morrison was given a hearty reception by the people of all classes, and none were too poor for him to miss or pass by. He came up from the people by knocks and merit, and his early years have made him know the condition of men of every class.
 In the evening the whole town adjourned to the Silvernail opera house to hear MT. Morrison, and the house was crowded to the doors, with a good sized overflow meeting surrounding the building out in the street
 If the crowd is any indication of Ixhat results will be in November, the ballot box will be stuffed damned full of republican tickets, voted straight from top to bottom
 The meeting was presided over by John H. Page, who introduced Hon. NJ. J. Riordan, of Flagstaff. MT. Riordan kept the audience smiling broadly with his witty sallies in describing the county ticket and the names of the candi- dates brought a prompt response from the audience --r
 Mir Riordan was followed by Hon. R. k. Morrison in a straight forward, manly appeal to the hon. est common sense of the voters that seemed to touch them in the right spot o
 He went into the questions which were dilated upon by Col Wilson, and if there was ever a clinching, undeniable argument, or, rather, a statement of facts. that would drive the democratic buncomb into a hole, and. plug up the hole, Mir Morrison thoroughly did that thing
 A plain reminder of what hap pened the wool growers of Arizona under the democratic free trade regime caused a ripple of sarcastic smiles to spread over the audience; it was enough
 On the trust question he showed by the record what the democratic position was when an opportunity was given them in 1900 to vote upon a constitutional amendment for an amendment that would ena- ble the administration to correct such evils, but the democratic con Igressmen, in body, voted it down He asked the voters if there was one act of the territorial legislature in the past ten years that had placed upon the statute

DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
 In Edward M. Doe the conven- ton made no mistake in their nom inee for district attorney. MT. Doe is a lawyer with a reputation for his splendid knowledge of law, cov- ering the whole territory of Arizona. He has practiced law for many years in Coconino county and num- bers his clients among all classes of people. He is a natural student and his opinion is given weight in every court. His integrity and ability has never been questioned, and the county in securing him as its advocate in the many and in tricate cases now coming up in which thousands of dollars are i'm volved will be fully and competent ly protected against corporations as we'll as evil-doers- ,,..l ---..-.1
 SUPERVISORS.
 Mir. J. c. Blake, the nominee for supervisor, living at Flagstaff. has conducted a harness making busi- ness for a number of years past; has been a stock raiser for years and is pioneer in the west. He is man of fine business ability, conservative, and always found on the right side Mir Blake has a large acquaintance throughout this section of the country, who stand solidly for him in the race for the office, and not one of them will ever he disappointed by any act of his. He is just the kind of a man the voter would trust implicitly with | quently just the man the people of the county will trust with their affairs and find that confidence never misplaced.
 MT. George Wharton, of Will jams, is a man with splendid quail and a man who for years has had charge of the accounts of the Saginaw Lumber Go. at Will jams, and has been their confiden- tial agent in all their affairs. He has a wide business acquaintance over the county, and no more com petent or popular man could have been selected for this responsible place in county government.
 During the coming term of office there will arise many important things which should have the care full attention of men of good busi- ness acumen, honesty and good business sense. Knowing this, the have selected two men who are thorough in their work and who may be relied upon in any of circumstances that may arise The thousands of dol lars now coming into the treasury will be disposed of safely and in the interests of the taxpayers, and every dollar of it creditab ply ac- counted for at the end of their terms. In their own private inter ssts the taxpayer cannot afford to vote against these men.
 SURVEYOR.
 For county surveyor, James A. Lamport was nominated with good will by the republicans. The of this office are not great, but at the same time much important work comes to the county surveyor during the year, which it is vitally necessary that should be handled by thoroughly com petent man. MT. Lamport is thor ,ughly familiar with nearly every part of Coconino county, with near

THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
A Splendid List of Men Selected for County Officers Why You Should Vote for Them

County Officers Why You Should
 Vote for Them M
 Hon. A. A. Dutton, candidate for the council is generally recognized as man of exceptional ability, a worthy republican and a man who would ably represent the northern portion of the territory as we'll as Coconino county. He has been a resident of Flagstaff for years; is personally acquainted with our people and their needs.
 No man has a more honorabl record, better reputation, nor a more spotless character. He is a candidate of the people, and man whom both republicans and demo- crats alike admire and have full confidence. He is an earnest worker and a man who will ever be on hand to prevent jobbery and do good work for his constituents.
 FOR THE ASSEMBLY.
 Mir John H. Page comes from a good old New England family, whose name has ever figured in the history of New England, and is a hard headed young man, we'll edu- cated. hard and willing worker in whatever position he may be placed.
 He is modest and retiring in public, but is earnest of purpose, vigorous in his work when he knows he is right, and young man who will undoubtedly make his mark in the territorial legislature.
 FOR SHERIFF.
 Much against his own inclination, but after much insistence on the part of his friends, as we'll as re- publicans in general, Harry Hen derson accepted the nomination for sheriff, receiving it from the hands of the convention unanimously. Mir. Henderson is of sturdy Scotch descent, a man of splendid ability, we'll educated, and a more honest or upright man, true to his friends

territory with a fine -toothed comb.
 He is not as we'll known as some, but it comes from the fact that he attends strictly to his own affairs at all times. He is the kind of a man that can be trusted in any emergency to do his duty and do it thoroughly, regardless of friend or foe.
 FOR RECORDER
 Harry Hibben was nominated for recorder. He will be elected-every one says so. It is a waste of time to say anything good of him, for there are few people in the county who couldn't enlarge on it if you printed seven columns of it; the people know him and have known him for years. He has been the best recorder the county ever had; he has been right at his post of duty day in and day out, and if anyone attempted to rob the county he was there trying the scales at about 230, ready to sit down on the whole proceedings instanter. He will get about all the votes in the county.
 COUNTY TREASURER
 Frank J. Stein, the unanimous nominee of the convention for treasurer, is a young man we'll fitted for the place by years of mercantile experience, and with a record for honesty that in itself is a goodly appeal to the average voter. MT. Stein is entitled to the vote of the people for the place; he has come up from the ranks by a continuous struggle, from boyhood, backed by his true worth alone His nomination was not backed by any factional element of the party, but came from all alike, who felt that his election would be in the best interests of the whole people.
 PROBATE JUDGE.
 If there is one place more than another in the gift of the people where good judgment and sterling honesty is desired in the handling of the interests of the widow and orphan, it is the office of probate judge, and the selection of A. E. Douglass for that place was one of the happiest hits of the convention.
 MT. Douglass has been a resident of Flagstaff for the past eight or ten years; is graduate of Harvard university, and a native of Massa- chusetts. With all these advan- tages there isn't a cow puncher or a lumberman in the whole section with whom he is ashamed to rub shoulders. He is here because he likes the people and the country, and there is no question but those who know him heartily reciprocate the liking. Many people will re- member him as the pleasant young man who gave them a pleasant evening in explaining the workings A4 T l

RE:vOL VERNOGOOD
Hoboken Saloon Wrecked by
Drunken Toughs Who
Were Not Afraid.

Henry White, twenty-five years old,
James j.. Smith, twenty-eight years and
George Harms, twenty years, entered the
concert hall of George Weeks, at No. lis
Washington street, Hoboken, last night
and began to throw beer on the floor.
White claimed to be a discharged soldier.
He said fe felt like turning the place
inside out and his two friends volun-
teered to Join the fun
Weeks requested the men to be quiet
but they only ordered more drinks and
became more boisterous. Finally Weeks
called upon Chanceman Hansen to eject
the disturbers from his place.
A fight followed.
For fully fifteen minutes beer botties
and glasses few in every direction.
Weeks grabbed a revolver which he kept
behind the bar and pointed it at Smith.
The latter instead OF wincing flew at
him. The revolver was not loaded so the
only thing for Weeks to do was get out
of the way or get a. fractured scull.
smashed everything in sight with beer
glasses and kicked the front door into
splinters.
Policeman Hansen finally succeeded in
placing the men under arrest.
y When the prisoners were arraigned be-
fore RaeQEder Stanton this morning,
Weeks estimated his loss at $50.
The Recorder found the men guilty of
malicious mischief and gave them the
preference of paying for the damage or
going to Jail. They were remanded until
tomorrow morning.

Mayor Urges Commissioners
to Have Summit Avenue
Put in Shape.

Mayor Pagan has sent the following
communication the Street and Water
Commissioners for consideration at the
meeting of that body this afternoon
Jersey City, N. j., Jan. q, 1892.
The attention of your Board is respect
fully called to the condition of Summit
avenue between North street and Pater-
son avenue The east side of said avenue
is in a deplorable condition; several
months ago the avenue was torn up for
the laying of the water main, and for
some reason or ofler, dirt has been piled
up along the entire length in such a
manner as to cause great annoyance and
inconvenience to those persons who are
obliged to use the thoroughfare.
The earth has not been properly re-
stored to the place excavated, and the
paving stones removed, by the contractor,
in the course of the work, have not been
replaced business men should not pc
eompealled to suffer from such situa-
tion: and, Il it is the result of neglect
on the part of the contractor, who had the
work in charge, he should be held to
strict accountability:
This condition of affairs should be
remedied at once. I trust your Board
will give this matter your immediate
and vigorous attention.

denials of Mr.. Charles S. F'urst
Mr.. Furst was waited upon by a re-
porter for "The News this afternoon.
He denied that the store had been sold,
but refused to make a denial for publ

about it one way or the other
DO you deny that negotiations for the
purchase are in progress?' asked the re-
porter.
II will make no denial, because the
story on the face of it is absurd Mr..
Furst first said
do you deny that the property is on
the market?' asked THE News re-
porter.
.'Iil admit that I have been approached
by a. party for the purchase of the prop
erty. Everything I have, except myself
and family and home, has always been
on the market.

timepiece from his vest pocket lis on the
market. I win sell it to anyone who will
give me my price for it. But even nego-

not pending. My brother died only a

Kearen. Lamp Inspector Beya ana supar-
intendent Titsell of the United Electric
Company. yesterday held conference at
the City Hall on the award of the elec-
trio light contract awarded last Tuesday
by the Street and Water Commissioners
The award was made to the United Elec-
trio Company and was for a number Of
lights in excess of that number provided
for by appropriation. The conference was
held for the purpose of determining
whether it was possible to dispense with
come of those lights in use so that the
appropriation would not be exceeded.
Mr.. Macarthur. as the representative of
the company that received the award,
undertook to convince the city's officers
that any reduction in the number of
lights would be impossible. He suggested
that the Board of Finance make tour
of the city at night and thus see the con-
dition9. He further said that he did net
see what the Board of Finance had to do
with the matter anyhow aside from the
appropriating of the necessary money to
pay the bill and expressed it as mis- opin-
ion that the award of the Street and
Water Board was the final and decisive
step in the matter. President Ringle
replied that he considered 1t the business
of the Board of Finance to go into the
matter from eevry point
Lamp Inspector Boyd sustained Mr. Nc
Arthur in his contention that all the
contention that all the lights now used
were absolutely necessary. Many Of
them, he said. were put up on the recon-
mendation of the police.
Nothing was decided upon and the ques-
tion will receive further consideration at
tonaorrow's meeting of the Board of FL
nance.
Should all the lights now in use be
maintained the appropriation for lighting
will be exceeded by $17. .404S0.

that he was to land in soft berth in

He thinks himself eminently qualified to

night. What they VIII do is a matter of
deep concern to the Excise Commission

are very much afraid that action viii be

anything that may be done. This matter
received some consideration at the con-
ference held by the Board last night
after adjournment, but what was said
could not be learned.
One thing that troubles the Excise
Commissioners very much is the form
that the licenses which they grant shall
take At present the licenses are issued
in the name of the Mayor and Aldermen
These are the corporate officers of the
