C. FALL, L. ULINN.S JOHN IJULLIS. LarkinW.Carr,of Benson, a man whom, we consider cv gentleman in event varticulav, and if elected to the office of sheriff of this count, would do honor to the vosition. We have not had the honor of Mr.

Carr's acquaintance as long' as cither of the other two candidates, but consider him, above the shafts of malice. Revublican, Oct. G. The doughface organ claims that if Neagle is elected he will "run the whole county." Correct for once. From Neagle organ, October Jo.

Is a recent number of tlio Engineering and Mining Journal, Mr. E. Van Blarcom, republican nominee for county surveyor, recommended thrco important changes in our mining laws, viz: "First, official survey and approval of tlio claim as a requisite to location; second, registration of assessment work; third, compulsory purchase of the land within iivo years from location. Ho also suggests that the mineral domain should bo divided into districts, and theso districts subdivided into or local mining districts, each local district to have a mineral agent whoso duty it should bo to filo applications for suiveys, and at his earliest convenience proceed to execute such The voters of Cochise county are strongly directed to tho above. Let ovcry prospector and minor, in casting his vote for county survoyor, remember thac in voting for tho republican noinineo for this office ho is voting for a man who advocates changos in tics mining laws which would bar cvorv uoor man from obtaining and holding a.

mining claim. Wo have not time nor apaco to enter into a discussion of this subject, but leave it to tho judgment of the ln'nors and prospectors of C'orhiso eornty. in the Epitaph appears a carl from M. E. Joyce in answer to ccitain cowardly insinuations and skulking assertions mado by tho editor of tho Neagle organ.

The general public will no doubt consider tho caid superfluous, as the paper referred to has long since, by its reckless lying and infamous slanders, ceased to possess a vertigo of lnfluerco with all who aio familiar with ils treacherous antecedents, disgraceful affiliations and the contemptible policy pursued toward political opponents. A FAITH I' OFFICIAL. As the day of election draws near nil tho signs point unmistakably to democratic success in this county. The campaign has been closo and is this so in tho case of tho candidates for sheriff and recorder. Tho democratic nouuneo for tho former olfico has, perhaps, had tho greatest obstacles to surmount, being confronted not only with tho open opposition of tho republicans, but also threatened with tho insidious attacks of party traitors.

The republicans, realizing tho importance of tho oiiico of recorder, in partisan sense, have also mado a xlesporato strugglo to insure tho success of their noinineo for that position. Tho campaign on tho part of Mr. democratic nominee, has been conducted from its inception in a dignified and gentlemanly manner. During the two yeais ho has held tho office ho has mado tho acquaintance of tho majority of the citizens of the county, lie has attended strictly to his official duties, and not oven a suspicion of official wrong-doing has ever been breathed against him. Dis intercourse with tho people has always been marked with tlio greatest courtesyandattentiveness to the wants of al! who have had occasion to transact business with him.

In short, Mr. Jones has, during his incumbency of the office, conducted himself as a servant of tho people, and has not assumed tho arrogant airs of ono who thought himself their master. He is perfectly familiar with tho somewhat intricate duties of tho offico, and no intelligent person will deny that he is better qualified for the efficient dischargo of those duties than is his opponent. It is on this record and tlieso qualifications that ho bases his claims for reelection. Ho has boon tried and not found wanting, and tho people of Cochise county will consult their own interests by rewarding with their suffrages a man who has proved himself a faithful public servant.

"Tho ruinous rule of tricksters;" "A gang of hungiy official "A corrupt and unscrupulous clique;" lot of shiftless fellows who cannot make a respectable living;" "Men of their doubtful character and unsavory experience," "Men who have taken advantage ot their positions to fleeco the tax-payers of Cochise, can hardly be expected to hesitate at forgery or even perjuiy." The above arc a few extracts from tho editorials of tho "half-breed" so-called "independent" organ. Wc merely reproduce them to show the respectable citizens, tax-payers and voters of Cochiso county tho character and style of argument adopted by that peculiar insitution. They are all taken from one issue, and there is hardly a number of that sheet sinco tho campaign begun but has been equally as bad, if not worse. Yet it has not made a single or definite charge against any of the county officers. If thoy constitute a corrupt ling, why not expose them? Tho truth ot the matter is, there is nothing to expose, and the "half-breeds" hope to win this fight very much in the same manner as the mephitis Americana." But outside of it al), and far abovo the truly, in this case, "filthy pool" of politics, there should exist a feeling of grati-tudo towards at least the chief executive officer of tho county, that should cause tho writer to hesitate ero he denominates him as a "thief," a "trickster," and a member of a "corrupt ling." A manly and generous friend should not bo forgotten, much less abused, when his ability to bofriend has ceased to exist.

Oxr. of the strongest arguments against Ncuglo's election is furnished by himself and his strikers. Neither ho nor they can icsist their bulldozing proclivities, and talk as though everyone not belonging to tho "linlf-biccd" party should bo placed on a reservation. All citizens, whether native or foroign born, have, in ordinary, equal rights, and the threats mad') on tho street corners that after election the Neagleites will mako certain sons of get out in tho street" or "lcavo the country," are not calculated to inspire confidence in their candidate's ability or intention to preserve peace in case ho is elected. This is a fiee country and honest men aro not, as in IitiFsid, banished and maltreated expressing their opinion.

Tun journalistic strumpet which advocates the election of Dave Xea-glo for sheriff charges that cei tain democrats have betiayed the noinineo of their party. V'cs, and the Erii'Ai'ii could namo thoin. They were delegates to the late democratic convention, and aftcrsolemnly pledging themselves to support the nominees of that convention, now help to mako -up tho corporal's guard of iNcagle's adherents. Tun Star pays its compliments to Judge Porter in tho following roundabout way: Judgo Dibble, by far the republican in Arizona and a man whose abilities would bo recognized as lemnrkablc in any com nunity, was left out by the Phcnix convention and Porter was put tip for Congress. The lcison was simply that Porter was supposed to liavu uioucy'to buy bis way, and Dibble would not under any circumstance bare resoitcd to such means to procure advancement.

But -when tbe pinch eamo Porter went back on his financial piomise0, and the republican party bavoatlast concluded that (bey bad bargained away a ical gamecock lor dunghill, and didn't get any boot either. But if they didn't get tho boot," Brother Barrett, they got the gaff. The "half-breed" organ continues to reiterate tho canard that Carr's friends and supporters have deserted him and that ho has viitually withdrawn from the canvass. Nothingis further irom tho facts of the case. He is gaining strength every day and will go into tho office with such a boom of enthusiasm as will forever crush out "independentism" in C'nehiso countv.

CO.UIXCJ The tulo has turned. Independentism" is going out with tho ebb and in a few days it will be swallowed up in the great sea of democracy. The mass of the po-called indedeudents are almost evenly divided between the two parties, republicans and democrats, the latter having been led away for a short time by the representations of the half-breed organ. Hoping to bo-come a power in the county, it has staked all upon the cast of a die. If Neaglo falls, tho fabric is shattered; if he should, through fraud anc bulldozing, win, it will set itself upon tho pedestal of democracy as the only true exponent of the glorious principles which have been tho soul of that party through the gloom and darkness of defeat for many long weary years.

But a light has broken through the clouds. The calm, well-meaning, honor.iblo portion of the so-called independents" havo at last realized that thoy were blindfolded, hoodwinked and fooled by a mere handful of heartless, soulless, niciccnary politicians without principle, truth oi honor, who led them on, hoping through their aid to gain official posi- tious whereby they could he without honest labor, which thay t.o much despise. They realize that to elect Neagle will bo to thwait the interests of every large taxpayct in tho county, and thus retard the giowth and prosperity of the distiict. They look around them and sec the mining superintendent, the merchant, the banker, the mechanic and the laborer, who supports his wife and family by tho sweat of his brow, all opposed to the "half-breed" candidate, and see. ing this, they turn away in disgust, and pledge anew their allegiance to the democratic party.

It is the party of principle, of progress, of liberality and of honesty. Its candidates are men of energy, education, probity and respectability. They are not in collusion with outlaws or stage robbers, nor arc they bulldozers, who avail themselves of their petty official positions to impose upon the tho defenseless, and the aged, but being honorable men will receive the support of all true citizens and taxpayers who havo the interests and prosperity of the county at heart. Wn warn all democrats to boware of the fraudulent tickets which will be peddled by Neagle strikers on election day. The "half-breed" counterfeits of the democratic ticket may he easilv distinguished and no one should bo bulldozed or hoodwinked into voting them.

Tho tickets which many democrats will bo asked to vote, aro very much mixed. The sheriff, one supervisor, jnstice of the peace and constable aro wrong, and no man should vote until he has carefully read his ticket from top to bottom. Nkach.k's stanchest fiiends now admit that ho is doomed to certain defeat on Tuesday next. Realizing this, his organ Is frantically endeavoring to involve tho democratic nominee in tho disaster, and secure the election of Ward. Lot democrats remember this.

Tin: county is being flooded with a circular indorsing tho character of the "independent" candidate for sheriff. Tho circular has about a dozen signers, a tnajoiity of whom aro as sadly in need of a certificate of character as the mnn whom tliev indorse. Br.N Goodrich has made a gentlemanly and dignified canvass, and tho people will indorse his oouiso by a good round mnjoiitj on Tuesday next. Tin: trooly loilv and "independent" fences, after Tuosday next, will look as if they had been "swopt with the besom of destruction." NOTICE TO COISIERS OF WATER I TOMBSTONE W.
