the coming of the morn when they would put the democratic managers 10 shame.
 The republicans knew to a man all the inmates of the poorhouse whom the democrats had registeed and where they are being herded to vote today for Nor ton or Lawrence. They were pepared to challenge them and show that they had no right to vote They were also prepared to challenge all other illegal intending voters. They could reason- ably believe until yesterday evening that the victory was as good as woE.
 But the Enterprise came out and threw bombshell in their midts. It perhaps did not do it intentionally but ! the bombshell landed all the same and the committee is now in doubt as to the extent of the undiscovered democratic rascality.
 The Enterprise contained a letter which purported to have come to Phoe- nix from Los Angeles in the interest or MT. Greene, the republican candidate in the second ward. It is true that nobody old enough to vote would be un- able to detect the stiffness of that let ter. That wasn't what scared the re-
 
 saw in the authorship of the letter that something had been overlooked by the republican campaign managers; that the democrats had not only transported l the poorhouse to Phoenix for today on ly, but that they had invaded even the lunatic asylum and were colonizing the inmates somewhere within the city l limits. What scares the republican managers is that they do not know how many lunatics are at large in the democratic colonies, but they know that there is at least one, and that he has been assigned to the position of politi- | cal writer on the Enterprise.
 The writer of that alleged Los An geles letter is believed to be the lunatic brought here from Cochise county a month ago, whose only symptom of in sanity was a Authorization that he had 5O,O0G votes to cast for William Ran dolph Hearst for president of the Un- ited States.

A STATEMENT OF A FACT
Refutatation of a Story in Last Nights
 Enterprise.

The following is a refutation of a gross misstatement, absolute without any foundation made by the Enterprise last night:
 My attention has been called to a statement made in the evening demo- cratic organ. in one of its editorial screeds, as follows: While the small poX scare was on, the republican city officials employed DT. Wm. Duffield to care for the city's patients at salary of $20 per day, and this was in addition to the regular salary being paid to the city physician. When the epidemic was stamped out it was found that the city under republican control had paid about $950 each for it's smallpox pa- tients, while the county under demo- cratic control, had paid about $250'
 During that epidemic of smallpox l received $40 a month as health off cer and city physician of the city of Phoenix. I was not paid $20 per day or any amount other than the $40 month. The books of the city treas urer will show this to be the truth. I

A TRAVELLING LIGHT
Curious Phenomenon in the Heavens
 Last Night.

curious phenomenon was witnessed by several persons in and about Phoe- nix last night. About o'clock a light suddenly appeared in the southwestern heavens. Those living in the central part of town thought at first that it was light sent up on a kite or in a hot air balloon. The light seesmed to be as large as the full moon and was moving very rapidly in a nOrtheaster.y direction. But people living in the ex- treme southwestern part of the city said they had seen it still southwest of them and the size of it appeared the same as il had to those who saw it from the center of the city. This cir cumstance proved that the light was at greater height than had been sup posed by the observers.
 Though it appeared to be travelling directly from the southwest and would therefore pass over the town, its path led far north of the city. From the time 1t was first seen until it was di- rectly in the north was about ten min utes. It then seemed to grow smaller until it looked no larger than a star and might have been taken for one but for its lurid color and its flickering. By this time it was moving so slowly that the motion could be detected only by it's changed position in the course of five minutes observation. It seemed to be approaching the horizon.
 A party of ladies living four or five miles east of the city called at The Republican office last night and said they had seen it while they were driv- ing along the road not far from the in- sane asylum. Their description of it was the same as that of the observers in town.
 Even after it had disappeared, that is when the intermittent flickering could no longer be observed, a strong glass brought it into view and gave it an ap- parent diameter of a foot.

DEMOCRATIC COLONIZATION
Republican Managers Fear They Have
 Not Discovered It All.

The Republican city committee got it's first scare last night since the begin ming of the municipal campaign which will end today. The committee had been aware, it thought, of all the un- derhandedness which the democratic managers were planning and they had it all headed off. All the misrepre- sentations which have been made by the democrats had been diss.pated
 the democratic colonies or the most oi them had been charted, the illegal reg istrations it was thought, had beer noted and the members Of the republi- can committee were eagerly awaiting
