County Seat and
 County Politics

 The above recital by no meals should be construed that there are not ether candidates in Tombstone. Thsre are several Some in the open and oth- CTS under cover, but the crop th's year is bountiful. This is the Tomb stone digest. and the Review gives it's readers the benefit of our information. The echoes of the Tombstones con vention which selected delegates to Tucson still fingers. There were some things done at the convention ! which everyone wants credit for, then there were other things that no one seems to want to be responsible for It appears that Eugene Brady O'Neiu held few strings, and when he pulled them there was dancing and high | jinks. MT. O'Neil has returned to his home in Phoenix, but it was stated F. Tombstone that he promised 10 return to Cochise county this fall in time 10 personally oversee the call of the Dem ocratic Central Committee, and use his influence to secure places on the ticket for some of the boys who rem dered valuable, or invaluable, services few months ago.
 
 Judge Riley is interested in politics again. We thought that his late res ignation as a member of the County Central Committee had put a period to his connection with the undecided and unterrifed in this county, but [ wish to hasten to correct this opinion. The venerable exponent of the simon pure article is sitting beneath his fig tree. in the shadow of Schefflin's monu- ment, calmly awaiting the letter of ac- ceptance of Judge Parker. There IS cause for fear and trembling! What if Judge Parker's letter don't suit Judge Riley at Tombstone2 Ye Godsi Tread softly and speak in whispers. There may yet be discord in the Dem ocratic ranks.
 We asked an old timer (and by the way, there are lots of old timers in Tombstone) who was the strongest candidate mentioned for sheriff at this time. We got the answer straight It's Dell Lewis he said.
 The Tombstone Prospector. of whom the politicians at Tombstone stand in awe, is expected to take an active part in the approaching campaign. The first move in this direction was made last week, when the editor announced that the season for announcements had opened, and the price in the Pros pector would be the same as two years ago.
 There is considerable discussion in Tombstone as to who will be the new chairman of the Democratic Central Committee in this county. but that seems to be hard nut to crack. Sev- , eral names are mentioned, only to be quickly dismissed This is the only : political problem that the Tombstone ties have failed to solve up to date. His Honor, Judge Fletcher M. Doan, 1 took fall out of the newspapers this week, in which he severely criticised ! the press of the county for the publica- tion of testimony introduced al pre- liminary hearings. He made the point that several jurors had disquall-
  papers. Well, we are not going to get into any argument with the court, certainly not at this stage of the pro- ceedings. when His Honor has sat for sixty days on the bench with a pal metto fan in one hand and a bandana handkerchief in the other. dishing up sentences ranging from one year to life imprisonment.
 At the last term of court in this ! county the district attorneys office did not cover itself with any particular glory. It may have been the change in altitude, which affected the District Attorney just appointed by the Board, or it may have been that the Cochise county juror was a specimen of the genus homo with whom he was not -ac- quainted, but any criticism that was offered at that time does not apply now. D. L. Cunningham has con ducted his cases before the present term of court in an able manner. and the results obtained speak for them selves. The district attorney has struck his pace and he is going some. probably fast enough to land him in the office for two years more.
 The above are few pointers gath cred by the Review man while water bound at Tombstone. We feel that the | faithful in other parts of the county are entitled to the information.
