With the concert this afternoon by
the Bisbee band, which viii take place
at 4 o'clock, the first note Will have
been sounded for tae big free barbe-
cue which is to take place at Lewis
Springs tomorrow under the auspices
of the Warren District Democratic
Club. 1t win also sound the tocsor
for perhaps one of hottest political
campaigns in the history of Cochise
county
Few public occasions have beer
more carefully prepared for, by atten-
ton to every detail, than has the one
which takes place tomorrow. From
word which has been brought to Bis
bee from all parts of the county there
is every reason to believe that tae at
tendance will be well over two thous-
and, and probably, if the day is fair
one, as high as three thousand.
A message received at noon yester-
day from Frank Haines, who is on the
grounds at Lewis Springs, stated that
alter a rough journey, owing 10 the
condition oNthe grounds, he had reach
ed the barbecue grounds safely, had
gang of men at work preparing the
tables, stands, etc. and that every
thing would be in readiness in ample
time for Sunday. Barbecue Moore or
Douglas, also has been at work WITH
his assistants, and has had every
facility for exercising the talent OF
making delicious barbecue.
Talk on the streets of Bisbee. Low
ell and Warren yesterday was of the
barbecue, and without regard TO poll
tics, 1T seems that the majority OF the
voters and many CT the women and
children of these places will be at
Lewis Springs tomorrow. Visitors
from Tombstone and Douglas, who ar
rived here yesterday afternoon from
these places say that the delegations
that will go from these places will be
the largest which have left them for
many days.
The coaches which are to be used
in running the special trains from the
SmeIter City and Bisbee have some
of them already been brought in, and
the others will be here in ample time.
There win be eleven OF these for the
Bisbee special, and six for the Doug
las train The time of their arrival
and departure, with the fares from
each place, will be found in several
places in this issue of the Review
Banners carried by small boys will
be displayed today, as a final warn
ing to get ready for the biggest polit-
ical gathering for many days. Mark
Smith is on ais way from California,
having made a special trip for the pur-
pose of addressing the voters of Co
chise county, and is expected TO deliv-
er the principal address of his cam
paign for reelection as delegate 20
congress tomorrow.
Henry F. Ashurst, one of the best
orators in the territory, has been al
work en- Ills address for some time,
and will leave his home in the moth
ern part of Arizona today to be here in
ample time to deliver his address.
Tomorrow is change day for the
men in the mines, and it was with tn:s
fact that the date for the barbecue
was set. There will be few of them
who will not attend the barbecue to-
morrow. Many will go in vehicles, as
a look at the books of the local livery
men will show.
The swimming pool. the ball game.
refreshments of all kinds, dancing all
the time, vita plenty to eat without
cost, viii be some of the attractions
at the grounds, TO say nothing of the
meeting of friends from all parts OF
the county, the interviews of the poll
ticians and the speeches of the day.
