Bisbee, Arizona, November 2.
 Jos. H. Kibbey, candidate for U. s. Senator, will probably lead the republican ticket in Cochise county. Governor Kibbey stands an excellent chance to carry the county, while Chas. E. Hughes will probably lead Wilson in this county because of the unpopu- larity of the administrators Mexican policy. Tom Campbell is very strong in the northern end of the county and will close his campaign in Bisbee and Douglas. Democrats concede that Hunts majority in Cochise will be less than 500. while the republicans are claiming the county for Campbell.

 Charles E. Hughes will carry Pima county by three hundred majority while Tom Campbell and Governor Kibbey will proba- bly, get 500 or 600 majority. The republicans lead slightly in the registrations but many republi- cans registered as democrats to vote in the primary and practi- cally all of the independent vote will go to these three candidates who are also supported by scores of strong Democrats, Wilson's Mexican policy and the Hunt ad- ministration being very unpopu- lar in this county.
