The first meeting of the first cam paign, not counting the primary cam. paign. was held in Bisbee last night. almost on the spur of tho moment. The republican candidates descended upon the camp like a wolf on the fold. Before noon the faithful had not been appraised Of their coming, and when the candidates themselves arrived. later in the evening. they sa d that the descent had not been premeditated; they did not know un- uil the morning that they would be here.
 But circulars were issued late in the afternoon stating that Judge Wells. candidate for governor: Cap tain George D. Christy for attorney general; W. s. Sturges and F. M. Pool for corporation commissioners; W. D. F sk for state treasurer: J. F Cleaveland for secretary of state; Judge F. NJ. Doan for the supreme court. and George A. Mauk For au. ditor. would address 4 meeting al the Orphenm last night.

 F. i. Flanigan called the meeting 10 order and put the audience into a cheerful frame of mind when he thought Il was safe to introduce Cap tain Christy Captsin Christy stated that he would discuss only matters pertaining to the office to which he nspired. and he believed that the most immediate. proper function was the selection of the lands wh oh had been donated to the new state. an office under the enabling act that deyolvel upon the attorney general and the governor.
