THE WoMEN'S TOGGERY Co., x Main Street

in which the Democrats simply cap
tured the city much as they did in
Douglas, only on greater scale.
At midnight there were still two
hundred faithful Democrats on Main
street cheering for their candidates
and seeing to it that the Republicans
were outdone.
The most prejudiced were impress
ed with the Democratic demonstra-
ton last night. If today does not rec
ord the greatest Democratic victory
Bisbee and Lowell have ever seen, all
signs fail.
Special mention should be made of
the gameness and loyalty of the L.

for the Democrats. They were there

The Republican Meeting.

While 5000 Democrats were shout
ing for Mark Smith and Br an on the
plaza last night, at least 1.200 Republi-
cans and their sympathizers were
crowded into the Orpheurn theatre to
hear Joe Morrison, Johnny Wright and
lastly the Republican candidate for
delegate TO congress, Ralph Cameron
of Coconino county, former sheriff
and at present member of the board
of supervisors. The Republicans were
an enthusiastic lot They took adj
vantage of every opening, and at
times the opera house rang with the
cheers of the partiSans when some
speaker caught their approval.
The meeting lasted for two hours
and q half and was one of the most
enthusiastic Republican gatherings
seen in the city The principal speech
making was done by Morrison and
Wright, and the contrast when Cam
eron arose to make his speech was
noticeable The question could not
help but present itself-why was not
Morrison OF Wright nominated in
stead of Cameron?
1t was evident at the Republican
meeting that party lines have been
closely drawn in this campaign No
quarter was asked and none was
given, but during the lull Iii the speak
ing could be heard two blocks away
the roar of 1900 Democrats cheering
to the echo every mention of the name
Of Bryan and Mark Smith. The meet
ings last night were a forecast OF
what is to come in the first state cleo

cars for Bisbee, where Smith was
scheduled to speak at $3.50.
The meeting at Bisbee beggars de-
scription, and as big part Of the pop
ulation Of Bisbee was there, no at
tempt will be made. Mayor Neale
probably delivered the best speech or
his life; it was logical, unanswerable,
and was cheered time and again. The
crowd was so full of enthusiasm that
it was hardly quiet for a minute, and
was constantly cheering for Smith.
s. A. D. Upton Of Tombstone, al
though suffering from recent illness,
caught the spirit of the meeting and
had 1t cheeing until the hills re-echoed
He told of ais lifelong friendship with
Mark Smith, of his devotion to Co
chise and his manliness and undoubted
| honesty. He took a description of the
Cameron methods from one of their
own men, and out Of their own
mouths condemned them" The crowd
was willing to listen to him longer
than he spoke, as with Mayor Neale
i but he was forced to stop on account
OF his voice.
Asa T. Hoy, who acted as chairman
of the meeting, then told the crowd
| that he had a disappointment for
| them, because Mark Smith, owing tc
the condition of his tnroat, was IN
able to speak to them The crowd
Immediately began to call for Smith
asking to see him. Smith arose, ano
there followed what was probably the
longest and most enthusiastic ovation
ever extended a candidate in Cochise
county. After several minutes, when
it seemed that the cheering surely
must cease, it began anew, and con
tinued longer than before. Such en-
thusiasm has never before been seen
in the camp.
Smith addressed the crowd as best
he could, and thanked them in a voice
overcome with emotion for the ire
mendcus ovation with which they had
honored him. Although not. one-fourth
OF the crowd could hear WI he said,
his every pause was the sig.Eal for. a
renewed period of demonstration.
At the conclusion of the speech of
Smith, which marked the close of the
meeting, the enthusiasm broke out
again, and continued, the band playing
meanwhile, for several minutes. So
keen was the interest and SO high the
enthusiasm, that not a single person
left the crowd. Instead hundreds and
hundreds OF man and women walked
up to the platform, shook hands with
him and assured him OF their loyalty
and interest. Cheering continued all
the time, and finally increased to
such an extent that the crowd picked
up their champion and carried MIN
on their shoulders to Main street, the
PROCESSION being followed by the band
and between two and three thousand
people.
Here q demonstration never before
witnessed in Cochise county took
place For an hour the crowd re-
manned, while the different candi-
dates were hoisted to the shoulders
of friends and held up for their adj
miring supporters to cheer 1t is use
less TO attempt to tell of the enthusi-
asE which prevailed. and the way

at headquarters tonight, declared re-
spectively that Bryan and Taft would
win and then hurried away on late
trains to cast their vote, Hitchcock at
West Newton Mass, and Mack at
Buffalo.
Both chairmen feel that when the
votes have been deposited tomorrow
they will have done all they could to
further the interests of their parties
and their leading candidates in the
1nomentous campaign Of 1908. Hitch
Geek remained late at Republican
headquarters, delaying his departure
for Massachusetts until midnight. He
will return tomorrow night to receive
the returns. Mack left for Buffalo
shortly before 10 o'clock and will be
back in the city tomorrow night.
The polls in New York city open at
six o'clock tomorrow and close at D
D. m. The same. rule holds through
out practically every part of the state
and the indications are that New
York state results will be the. first
flashed over the wires tomorrow night
giving an indication as to how the
election goes. This at least will be
true of counties and cities outside OF
Greater New York. Voting machines
are used extensively up state, and the
result will be known almost as SOon
as the polls are closed.
The count of the vote in New York
city, Brooklyn and the surrounding
boroughs will likely be slow and long
delayed.
Socialist leaders, basing their
claims on the reception given Debs on
his Red Special tour through the
country, are confident that he will
poll a greater vote than ever before.
Republican Chairman Hitchcock de-
clared today that late reports receiv-
ed from national committeeman and
state chairmen have strengthened his
faith in the estimate of 1926 electoral
votes for Taft, made Friday night.
Il believe the contest is won," he said.
TT has been worked out as systemat-
ically as It is possible to apply
system TO a national campaign. The

cluded, 81 expect to see my forecast

Before leaving tonight, Chairman
Mack at Democratic headquarters
gave out his final statement claiming
victory for Bryan and Kern. He as
serted that New York state would
give the national ticket plurality of
SO, 900, and that Ohio and Indiana are
surely Democratic. He declared the
party would carry most Of the other
doubtful states in addition to carrying
some states not claimed, he adhered
to his forecast of 1888 for Bryan.

John R. Walsh, president of the Chicago National
Bank, which closed its doors more than two years
ago, was found guilty last week of misapplicaton of
the funds of the bank.
The penalty fixed by the statutes is from five to
ten years imprisonment under each count in the in
dlctment upon which the verdict was brought Mr.
Walsh, having been convicted under hfty-four counts
has from 270 to $40 years to serve and he is now
seventy years old. Unless he defeats the action of
the jury, he will be incarcerated for life.
He expects to retain his liberty, to secure new
trial and to triumph eventually over Justice He was
not placed in confinement after conviction as COM

on the bail he had given before his trial

is merely trying to get into print, it has concluded to

Mr. Moore is the person who did the editorial

the Mormons in that paper to carry weapons on
