Gum Shoe Squib Calls Forth Wrath of County Repub-
 lican Machine.

HELEN DAMNATION, Have you seen this? yelled a faithful follower of the Cassidy y-McReynolds faction of the Republican party, as he boundel into the office of the Republican chair man of the County Central committes late yesterday afternoon, bearing a copy of the evening paper in one hand and breathing vengeance at every jump.
 The chairman was busily engaged in counting a fresh consignment of proxies when his informant arrived. After satisfying himself that they were the right sort of proxies and could be depended upon in the case of emergen- cy, the chairman wheeled around in his chair, telephoned to a few of the faithful, and the editorial headed Cum Shoe Politics" was taken up section by section. ..-.
 The McReynolds faction, at present in control of the Republican political machinery in this county. has been bolted by the organ of the party and those friendly to the Doyle-McRey- holds slate fixers have been charged with every political crime on the cal endar.
 In the language of the organ they are gum shoe politicians" who be- lieve in working in the dark without giving the minority square deal. The editorial, in brief, is a demand for the proxy majority to give back to the minority the office of Chairman of the Republican County Central Commit tee, or at least to have the decency to allow a recount ts
 With the Republican Central Com TniTTnn hillad for piShna hn ;t is apparent that an effort is to De made to wrest the chairmanship of the committee away from. the McReynolds faction. But how this is to be accom- plished remains to be seen w
 I\e minutes of a regularly called meeting of the central committee show that McReynolds was on that occasion elected the regular chairman. Even if the Kirk faction was bent on depos- ing the McReynolds faction, how are they to proceed? ...,
 Couriers have been sent out to diff ferent portions of the county on still hunt for proxies, and that the in- surgents intend to put up stiff fight *was evidence yesterday upon the re- eeipt of a letter in which an outside committeeman promises to be here. and upon his arrival to submit a few brief and pertinent remarks. Boss" Mike is back from Chicago and will occupy seat at the naeehng: of the committee on the 11th. It is said that while in Chicago Mike laid the situation before Uncle Joe Can non, and he has some new cards up his sleeve on parliamentary proceed ure that have never been used in this section before. With McReynolds in the chair, and Cassidy on the floor, and "Biddy" to second all motions in discriminatory, at the present writing we wouldn't give much for the chances of the insurgents.
 The Review fears that there will be some mean things said at the commit tee meeting. An effort will be made by the insurgents to gain possession ssof the floor and put forward the wise old owl" as their spokesman, provided they can force the chairman to recog- nize proxies when held by others than member of the commit'Ee. As z precedent for this they Will point to the action of the Republican Territo- rial Central Committee, which met at Phoenix on Saturday last, at which time proxies were recognized in the hands of everybody and anybody.
 The insurgents will insist that the meeting be held with doors open, and if this is the case there will be some thing doing from start to finish.
 It has been thirty days and more since the proxy meeting of the Repub- Tcan Committee was held at the Cop per Queen Hotel. For thirty days the Republican organ has been quiet
