Ground-PolitieaI Forecasts-Del-
 esates in Caucus
 Bisbee last night was in the hands of the enemy, that is. politically speaking
 The streets last night were teeming with republicans. They were he e from Wilcox. Tombstone. Benson. Naco and Douglas The small pre- cincts were also well represented and when the delegates went into caucus last evening, harmony was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Things will be different today. Many delegates arrived today and more are expected on the o'clock train this afternoon. The convention will meet in the opera house at D. m. and will be called to order by c. c. Warner, chairman of the republi- can county central committee Tenn porary organization will be effected and committees appointed and it was the general opinion last evening that the nominations would not be made until evening. From appearances last night the republican ticket to be nom mated today was still a matter of con. lecture. Delegates gathered in small groups about he streets last night and it was soon seen that there was a . lack of material.
 Johnny Mullen was conceded the nomination for sheriff. Practically he has no opposition and unless all signs fail he will be nominated by acclama tion. For treasurer and recorder there is woeful lack of aspirants For district attorney Charles Bow man. of Tombstone. has a strong fol. lowing. but a number Of republicans insist on endorsing ". P. Miller as an independent candidate
 The office of probate judge is being warmly contested by the friends Of A. II. Emanuel CT Tombstone. and r R. OBrien of Gleason. Both are on the ground and were '5uzzlngr the dele gates unti a late hour last nigh. J. c. Pritchard. who was fist on the track tor probate judge. has with drawn and is now asking for the nom iuatiob of school superintendent He 1 is the only candidate mentioned thus far.
 For the council and the legislature there is another shortage apparent George Shibleg and W <. Nash wiH probably be oa the legislative ticket and C. 0. Anderson ls aiso being uTs cd to accept.
 When the republican conyen ion reaches the rOmi1ation for supervisor in their order oi business. three names will surely be presented and probably others. These will be + M. Woods, Ed Scott and Peter John son This viii probably be the ex citing contest in the convention.
 A strong effort was being made last evening to insert an endorsement of Murphy in the platform, and it re mains to be seen whether the Mur phyites in Cochise county will be sue cessful.
 A caucus was held in the Johnson building last night, where an informal meeting was had and the general plan of today's convention was mapped out.
 Perry Wildman was appointed chairman of the caucus and L. H. Brown was made secretary. .. The general ticket was gone over from top to bottom and 1t is pretty well settled who will go on the ticket today, although there bids fair to be a hot fight for the nominations for coun ty supervisor. There are five in the field and they seem to be guessing Scott, Johnson and Wood of Bisbee, Shilliam of Benson and Montgomery of Tombstone are all out for the nom ination. It was hard to say who held the lead but all were following up the delegates.
 The chairman of the convention will be either Perry Wil.lman or Will liam Shilliam .ni ;he secretary LouIs Brown.
 There was only one name mention ed for the council which was that of | George Shibley. For the assembly the names of Amos Kindred, W. A. Nash and A. H. Emanuel were also slated.
