sil AFTER THE ELECTION. THEN WHAT? Tombstone Miners DemonstrateGratitude The termination of one month's vigorous campaign-in" is welcomed by oflico seekor ami public alike. The campaign, so far as Cochiso county is concerned, was conducted along clean and gentlemanly' lines, a guarantee, since no unfair means were employed, that the successful candidate is but the echo of public sentiment, given voice through an untrammeled hol-lot. liythat decisional! ood citizens acquiesce. Tho excitement incident to an election will in a day have been forgotten.

Those who participated in the contest and lost are none the less to be admired. Not even' man who runs for office does so for selfish purposes only; nor is every man who succeeds to office a mercenary ingrate. Those who aspire to prefer-1 nient arc. or should Jbe. actuated by a zeal that would conduce to the public welfare.

Those who have failed in their aspirations will now join with the general public in wishing for a clean and successful administration of affairs by those who have been chosen to supervise our interests for a coming two years. That the- may be able to accomplish much, no impediment should be placed before them; every assistance should be rendered; evoiy encouragement held out and, thus aided in the performance of duty, the incoming officers will succeed in rendering a good account of their steward, ship. Arizona has shown her stability. You can smell the money burning in New York yet. Tho miners ol Tombstone are an appreciative lot ol fellows.

After be ing informed that the T. C. M. Co had made a material adance in the wage scale, as many of them as were not on shift, headed by the Tombstone City Hand, formed in procession and uendid their way to the residence of Pre-ident E. U.Gage to civ expression to their gratitude.

AdreffCb were made expienivc of the grateful sentiment of the beneficiaries, to which President Goge responded feelingly, evidencing a fine appreciation of the inotive that actuated his visitor. President Gage slated in ef fect that it hed long been the desire of his company to cTer better inducements to the miner, but while conducting its affairs along concervative lines it had not been deemed prudent by a cautious management to establish a wage scale in excess of that which conditions would warrant. The talk was of a reserved, guarded naturei but nevertheless it implied that the company now feci justified in making a liberal advance in the wages of its emplojes, that mere fact being an as surance fiat the ore bodies being encountered while depth is attained are of such magnitude and richness as to make unsolicited increase in wages a justifiable move. The crowd then preceded by the band, visitrd the residence of General Manager Staunton, where appropriate airs were rendered only to be lost to ear through vociferous cheers for the popular manager. Continuing on Superintendent Walker's residence was visited, the rousing meet demonstrating the high worth in which that gentle man is held by the miners.

All of Tombstone join with the miners in these demonstrations of gratitude. While the raise means considerable to the toiler, the city and surrounding district will be correspondingly benefited, advanced wages will call to our midst miners with Slamilies wno aesire iu iaie mui8c of our unexcelled educational facu ities, bask in the warmth of a peren-niel tun. quaff our pure naler that rejuvenates like unto the elixir of life; they will build homes here, and every avenue of commerce will be made to feel theexhiler.vting effect of the increased prosperity that will be noticeable henceforward. Tombstone is now the ideal camp of the Pacific coast; natural conditions make it the envy of all; the miners now located here are of that higher class of gentlemen who contribute most worthily to a community of good citizenship that extend open arms to the deserving.

In spite of the fact that more than 87 per cent of the voters of Arizona marked their ballots in the way prescribed to show their. opposition to the measure, the lead ers of the joint statehood movement still entertain hope of being able to foice Arizona to enter a union which such an overwhelming majority of its qualified electors oppose. fhe contention of the leaders ef the joint statehood movement is, that where a voter marked under the emblem of any one of the parties.
