lways been popular with the dene rats of the county and his return to he council may be regarded as a ettled fact.
 The nominees for the assembly cer. | ainly will be received with approval throughout the county. They are all | men of ability and high standing in he county. John H. Slaughter. of the San Bernardino ranch, accepted the only after the most urg- ent solicitation of many democrats who felt that his preseoce in the legjs- lature would be of use to the interests of thisi county. He Is known in. every section Of the cunnsy and his popular ity is universal Y He is one of the large cattle owners Of .southern Ari sona. h Mr. Slaughter Cochise county will have . man who will reflect credit on his constituency and guard well their every interest at Phoenix next winter.
 Hon. Neil Bailey was renomirated without opposition. thus receiving an endorsement of his service in the as sembly two years ago. MT. Bailey has lived for many years in Cochise county, first at Bowie station where he was agent for tho Southern Pacific. Entering the employ of the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific railroad when that line was completed to Cananea, he has been advanced until now he is the trainmaster of the road. He is bright, energetic and ambitious: just scch a man as will win his spurs in legislative work. MT. Bailey, although one of the youngest members in the last assembly, was made leader of the democratic majority at the beginning of the session and maintained prom inent position throughout the work of the session.
 owen Murphy, who was named by Bisbee for the assembly. is one of the men who has worked his way into
 
 years ago he lost leg in an accident at the C. & A. mine and at the last election he was elected as justice of :l.e peace by a heavy vote. This of flee he has filled with distinguished ability He is popular and accepted tine nomination for the assembly at the urgent request of many friends. He is worthy the support of every demo crat in Cochise county and in Bis bee. where he is known to almost every voter, he will receive many re publican. votes.
 The nomination of Stewart Hunt for reelection to the office of sheriff came in the nature of reward for duty well done Mr. Hunt has filed the office for two years and it is today the uni versal verdict that Cochise county never had better sheriff than Stew art Hunt He has run his office on a strictly business basis and the rec ords will show that he has shown ia yors to no one and has treated all without fear or favor. No official who has held office in the past in this county is more deserving of re-elec ton and we expect to see the demo crats rally to the standard of Stewart Hunt and give him a majority that will show that the people of Cochise appre ciate man who performs officia duty thoroughly, promptly and impar tially. The nomination of Mir. Hum
 means his continuance in that office
 for the next two years and that tht
 people will have the benefit of hi:
 faithful service.
 J. N Gaines, the present treasurer
 was nominated for reelection. He il
 one of the most competent men wht
 ever held that position in this count,
 and the large vote in the convention
 which he won in the primaries showed
 that his record has met with the ap proval of the democrats. The repub
 licans have undertaken to manufactur,
 some political thunder at the expense
 of Mir. Gaines, but the effort has failed
 and Mir Gaines expects to get a full
 vindication of his acts whenever the
 case brought against him by Ton
 Flannigan, as district attorney, shal
 come to trial. Mir. Gaines has perform
 cd his duties as treasurer as directed
 by the statutes, according to his inter pretation and has refused to be coerces
 into doing what he did not conside
 was authorized by law. The attemp
 of republicans to injure MT. Gainet
 will signally fail. He is personall,
 very popular and the hope of the re
 pubIicans to defeat him for reelection
 is indeed forlorn. Mir. Gaines has tb'
 confidence of the people and he ha
 many friends who will take a pleasur
 in raliying to bis standard at the Nc
 vember election.
