and regard of all with whom he had oc- cssion to labor, whether they were his superiors or subordipates in the great army of honest labor. Mir. Hughes desires it to be distinctly understood that his aspirations are in the hands of the Democratic convention, and that in the event of his election he will strive to vindicate the confidence reposed in him and in case of defeat in the convention he will bend every honorable effort to secure the election of his lucky competitor.
 ]. F. Ross, for District Attorney
 With that sound judgment which has made such a good record for him in the capacity of assistant district attorney, J. F. Ross finds it available to make his announcement in the col umns of the PRosPECroR for the office of District attorney of Cochise coun- 'ty, subject to the action of the Demo- cratic county convention. "The proof of the pudding is in chewing the bag" Judge Ross need not go back to his- tory nor lineage. A young practi- tioner in the rising city of Douglas, he grew up with the smelter city, and of late has made an euv:sble record in the capacity of assistant district attor. ney, thus demonstrating his specific fitness for the office to which he aspIres. Judge ROss, everything con- sidered. certainly Las strong claim on the people of Cochise county for the office of District attorney, the du- ties of which he has carried out dur ing the last two terms of the district court. In him the supervisors would have sound advisor, and his chances in the convention would appear to be tistteriug.
 Sheriff White Would Succeed Himself.
 The plain announcement of Jack White for Sheriff of Cochise county, subject to the action of the Republi can county convention has very prop erly found its way into the hands of ,he PRosPECToR. We are not here to outline a policy for the Republican party of Cochise county, but they can f,,1t .:th faction on the record of Sheriff White, and from the standpoint of svailsbil. ity. especially, need go no further.
 Jack has been good officer and respected citizen, almost raised in Arizona, with the true frontier ring to his record and his nature, and while VIC shall probably be under the unpalstable necessity of electing some good Democrat oyer him nevertheless Jack goes into the convention in fine fettle, and nothing but a dark horse with mane dragging to the ground will be able to outrun him,
 Wm. Riggs for Supervisor
 The last gentleman to join the roll of those who aspire to offices of trust and responsibility is William Riggs, present chairman of the board of supervisors of Cochise county. MT. Riggs, one of the leading stockmen residing in Dos Cabezss, relies for success in this appeal to the people on his record ss guardian of the county's interests. It must be con- ceded that MT. Riggs has worked assduously and persistently, as mem- Der of the board, and, as lie saw it, fearlessly and impsrtially. Mir. Riggs enjoys a very broad practical knowl- edge of sound, industrial conditions, and understands those ground princi- ples and conditions that lie at the bottom of the prosperity of the com munity, and in the event of his cleo ton, his record is sufficient guar autee that he will do his whole duty, even at a sacrifice, if necessary.
