Republican Caucuses Held in Various Wards and Precincts La st N g h t Give Strong Promise of Party Success.
HARMONY HELD THE
 REINS EVERYWHERE
In Every Ward But the Fourth E Il t h u sia st i c Meetings Were Held - Every Day Citizens Were in Full Control.

If enthusiasm down next to the ground where the plain people abide may be taken as an indication of public sentiment, the dream that some people have been peddling to the effect that everything is bound to go democratic in Arizona is built out of mighty fragile stuff. The re- publican caucuses held in this city and in osborn and Murphy precincts last night were probably the most enthusiastic and best attended with in memory and after the effer- vescence of the democratic politicians has been properly assimilated and it is found that it has put no meat on the bones of the body polite, the voters will walk out and elect fine bunch of republicans to start the state government off on the right foot
 There was a little fall-down in the Fourth ward in Phoenix, where there was a misunderstanding as to the caucus date or hour, and as a rep resentative number did not appear, it was decided to postpone the eau GUS until Monday night. But in the other three wards they were up and coming, and in the Second ward the only difficulty experienced was to throttle the enthusiasm and bring the meeting to a close.
 First Ward.
 The First ward caucus was held in the office of Greene & Griffin. where nineteen delegates were to be named. Here some good-natured rivalry was developed when those who wanted to hurry things along presented an entirely objectionable but nevertheless a prepared list of delegates. The idea was opposed on principle, and after the brethren had debated among themselves sufficient ly. all ended in a beautiful display of harmony and the decision to nom mate from the floor and nominate only those present c. J. McElroy presided and c. r. Munger served as secretary.
 The nominations were from all quarters and by those who had ac- lively participated in the previous debate, so everybody was we'll repre- scented. Before they could get the list closed, twenty three names had been presented to cast the vote of nineteen delegates. This was not re- garded as an embarrassment, for the county meeting is a conference and not a convention, and if more than nineteen are present they will cast but the nineteen votes, anyway, voting presumably as a delegation. The men chosen to represent the ward are as follows: J. C. Adams, chairman; Prof Claud Jones. c. P. Munger, P. H. Hayes. James Kinney. Johnny Moore, Frank Cavallere Chas. Bowman. Frank F.. Leeper, Bert Clingan. A. J. Porterie, J. V. Van Eaton. s. D. Dunlap, Chas. A. Stauffer, Mir. RabbinOvich. S. J. Tribolet. c. H. Corrigan. c. J. Me ElrOy. J. l.. Gust. J. B. Woodward, c. A. Randy, C. w. Barnett and Yer non Cook.
 Second Ward.
 In the Second ward there was no effort on the part of the caucus to- restrain enthusiasm or apply any sort of rule that would limit repre- sentation or Interest on the part of anybody. Nobody had a ticket or slate. All that was wanted was a fine representation of the ward in the party conference. The meeting was called to order by Geo. A. MintZ and l. T. Hosey was made chairman with Celora StOddard as secretary.
 Ii was announced immediately after reading the call that the ward was entitled to seventeen delegates, but it was desired that the combined wisdom of the ward should handle those seventeen votes, so it was ar ranged by motion that the caucus should nominate as many delegates as it saw fit and that the chairman and secretary of the meeting should have authority to add any names that might later seem desirable. The object was to have every class and coterie of republicans in the ward fully represented. It was provided, though. that of those who appear at the conference on the goth, whether ten or a hundred. each should nave his proportionate share of seventeen votes To illustrate. if thirty-four appear. each will have half of one vote. These details being settled. the caucus proceeded to nominate the following named gentlemen:
 I. T. Hosey. l.. B. Christy, J. l.. E. Alexander. c. A Massie, Geo. A. Mintz c. M. Stoddard. F.. Dunlevy. Roy Goodrich. H. A. Diehl. F. R. Stewart. Ned Creighton, Andrew
