The auk-Goodrich-C Creighton Combination Are Not Max ing Their Fight Against Gov efnor Kibbey.
They Are Hot on the Trail of AkerS and TritIe and Have Marked That Pair for the Slaughter,

Consternation reigns today in the ranks of the Maricopa county Repub- lican central committee, which has followed letting the public into the
 secret fight that is being waged within
 its ranks to prevent c. H. Akers and Harry Tritle going to Bisbee as gates to the territorial CO., .,efe- I September G, says th .v-eliTm on prise. -s~Thaenix Enter
 Both
 - siass are busy denying for
 nsrt ~ in 'i n obey that he is taking any
 psror All the fight and that he has effel issued any ultimatums to the
 ir U that Akers and Tritle must ee -Icluded in the honored list.
 While the governor is said to have , at the start made it known that he i would like to see Akers and Tritle , made members of the delegation to r Bisbee, ke later learned of the fight :, being waged against them and with 5 drew entirely from the scrap. - One of the hardest features of the
 inbroglio Is that those associated with the Mauk- Goodrich Creighton combi- 2 nation are all strong supporters Of , Governor Kibbey, and will not only . try to get him endorsed at the Mari
 IcUpa Republican convention, but will :, take the lead in fight to be made :, a. Bisbee to get the territorial Repub' Q lican convention to approve in the Y strongest terms his official acts. J. George Mauk, Roy Goodrich and t New Creighton put in the greater par; l. of today denying that they are fighting g Governor Kibfey. They even go SC |, far as to deny that there is any scraI e in the ranks of the central commit u ttee.
 a Each member of the combination IT wants il dfsiinctly understood that he Q lis with Governor Kibbey tieart aEt Q soul. and that the blow was aimed a ,f Akers and -Tritle. even should it glance u it will noI In any way affect Governo sT kibbey.
 Y, Friends of Akers and Tritle are tr 's day assiduously at work among th = members of the republican committes .. N rointing out that to turn down Aser oI and Trftle at this time will be :. q
 o rect slap in the face for Gaver1o "a Kibbey. Their desire is to make .s appear that Kibbey is behind AkeI il. and Tfitie, while the Mauk-Goodricf ,e Creighton combination swears by a he that is good and righteous that th ne governor is keeping his hands oh' " Today's developments make 1t al d. pear that the Crelgf on ton trio is not as strongly entrenche ne as was at first supposed. Member ot on whom they depended are said to b i.e swerving to Akers and Tritle becais Ia they believe Governor kibbey want ,st them to go to Bisbee.
 do Akers' ambition, as he is said ed have outlined it to Governor kibbe w. a short time ago, is to go 10 Bisbe ad- a. the head of the Maricopa deleg nd tion, and there act as the direct re m resentative of the governor, whose el nd dcrsement by the territorial republ ac- cans is to be fought by the Murph
 Sturges-Cassidy combination. who c ia, pect to control a majority of the dei "a, gates outside of Maricopa county. It is now fight to the death b ;nt tween the contending factions. Ever me wire is being pulled, every trick pla ,rl, ed and nc opportunity lost to knor est the ether fellow. The result is sti -ho in doubt
