In discussing his splendid success as Republican candidate. Dr. c. l.. Caven, who was chosen Mayor of Bis bee by a handsome majority at Mon days municipal election, spoke in the highest terms of praise of his defeat ed opponent. Attorney J. N. OConnen, especially asking. If he was 10 be quoted, to make it plain that had de feat instead of victory been his DOT, tion. Bisbee's interests could have safely been entrusted to the care Of the Democratic head of tho city ticket
 All day long Caven was the recip- ient of congratulations, many of them coming from sources that he little ex- pected. The esteem in which the people of Bisbee hold him was sur prise to even the genial doctor, who will for the next two years sit as the presiding officer at Council meetings.
 Caven was in frequent conference during the day with R. A. Kirk, chair man of tha Republican City Commit come of last nights Council meeting which had the tie in the Third Ward between three candidates for the Council, under consideration.
 Between answering telephone calls of congratultion and shaking hands with friends who called at his offices. Dr. Caven found time to make a state ment for publication. He said:
 -'lJ is hardly necessary to say that I feel pleased and fiattered with the manner in which the people of Bis bee gave me their support. Like every other candidate, who enters a political race, I felt that I would be elected, but 1 was surprised at the majority. l felt that if either MT O'Connell or myself werc successful the deciding votes would be few.
 ''The approval of the people in this instance has, perhaps, been the most gratifying of my whole life. and feel that in return for what they have done I owe my best efforts to the city through its Council. My strong est desire at all times will be to give the people the best government pos sible.
 "While this election appears to have been conducted along party lines, I assure the people that there will be no politics in the City Council as far as I can prevent. Taxpayers are never regarded by party. and for that reason every act of a municipal body should be non-partisan in the ex- treme.
 T attribute my victory to the eX. cellent organization of the Republi cans, who entered this campaign with the determination to leave no stone unturned. They were prepared to meet every emergency, and think the result shows that they met each one of them as they arose. To the work done by the campaign managers think the credit is due for the results, which were in several instances a sur. prise to my Democratic friends.
 T desire to say that had Mir. O'CoE. nell been elected, the city would have been safe in his hands. Personally l believe he would have made an ex- cellent executive officer. Outside of the desire that we all have to win, l should not have been disappointed had he defeated me"
 Dr. Caven and O'Connell met late Monday evening as they were each going home. The result was then well known. As they approached each other, both came forward with extended hands. For few minutes they discussed the result of the cleo tion, O'Connell. congratulating, and Cayen accepting his good wishes az they were meant-in a spirit of sin cerity.
