As loon as the Republicans thaw
t.t tii i
out
ww iui)(u will ue upcueu.
JNo wonder the Bepnblican papers
are complaining o f the apathy of their
partisans.
Since Graver Cleveland became an
assistant Republican, no decent man
need be ashamed to be called a Dem
ocrat.
-We had no idea the campaign sheet
published on Bailey street made any
pretense of being a newspaper. We
imagined it was only a parody.
' To nse his own words, Editor Bants
"has been sold, shackled and delivered
to the Shylocks of Wall street and
their side-partners in Europe."
'GojrgBHOB Stokx of Missouri lays
the only solitary issue before the
country is free silver, and he is going
straight ahead in his State talking 16
tol.
Sats William J. Bryan : "Keep the
silver issue at the front until it is
settled." That will be the slogan in
Arizona. It cannot, it will not be
silenced, by any subterfuge or false
issue.
' Tbebe are at least two of the candi
dates on the Bepnblican ticket who
will move out of the county this fall
in case they are not elected, and one
will move out if be is elected. It is a
"hard old ticket.
The Phoenix' Bepnblican calls on
every member of its party to contri
bute money to the campaign fund. It
eesas to be the Hanna plan over again
to defeat the will of the people; but it
won't work in Arizona.
Doh't fail to give our next delegate
to Congress, Hon. J. F. Wilson, a
grand send-off at ths meeting in Flor-
next Thursday night. Let us
show him that the Democrats of Pinal
never sulk In their tents.
It looks bright for the entire Demo
rstie ticket in this county to be
elected. The ticket is far superior as
a whole to that nominated by the Be
pnblteana, and for that reason, if no
other, it will be successful.
Those Democrats holding positions
under Cleveland two years ago, and
who "took to the woods" rather than
declare themselves for Bryan ao4 free
silver, could be engaged in better busi
ness than questioning other people's
democracy.
The Phoenix Herald and Prescott
Journal-Miner are complaining of the
apathy displayed by the Bepublicans
in the present campaign. It is a hard
matter to whoop up the faithful on a
war issue when not an old soldier is
holding a Federal position in tU territory.
Skhatob Qoat and his son were ar
rested in Philadelphia the other day
and held nnder $6000 bail to answer a
charge of using state funds for indi
vidual purposes. Their trial will be
had before the next term of court
at criminal sessions.
The Democrats of Maricopa county
will hold a grand rally in Phoenix to
night at which out next delegate to
Congress, Hon. J. F. Wilson, will
speak. Other orators who will address
the meeting- will be Mark Smith, E. E.
EUenwood and Frank Cox. The Demo
crats there are enthusiastic as they art
here.
The Tribuke was complimented two
years ago for the decency of the
campaign it conducted. - It will adopt
the same cou rse at this time, and noth
ing that might offend the most fastidi
ous will appear it its columns. When
it has dirty linen to wash the laundry
work will be done in the back yard,
and its personal grievances will be
settled on the street.
Oub Bailey street contemporary has
a thrilling account of a race between
the "dems." and the "reps.," in which
the legislative nominees on both sides
are represented as men who expect to
make enough in sixty days to last them
two years. As Kehoe gets paid for
representing the Republican side he
ought to know what he is talking
about ; but the Democrats disclaim any
such intention. '
Attkstios Is directed to the adver
tisement for sinking wells at the
Buttes, in order to ascertain the depth
to bed rock. This is a part of the
preliminary work for the construction
of the Buttes reservoir, for which
$20,000 was appropriated by the last
Congress, and means more for our
valley than anything that has been
inaugurated since its settlement.
Those who have earnestly worked to
secure this appropriation can certain
ly be counted on as the true friends of
Pinal county.
If the voters of Pinal county believe
that Dr. A. C. Wright will more
honestly and earnestly represent them
in the Legislative Council than his
opponent they should by all means
elect him. The latter was chairman
of the Committee on Platform and
Resolutions in the Democratic Terri
torial Convention, and is largely re
sponsible for the platform of principles
upon which the contest is being made,
That platform stands for free silver,
economy and reform, and should appeal
to the masses for their support.
The Republicans of Arizona are
making a vain attempt to elect their
ticket with a hurrah for patriotism
and the old flag. But how can they
get around the fact that, although it
is nearly two . years since McKinley
was elected President, not a solitary
old soldier is holding a Federal poei
tion in the Territory of Arizona. The
tin-horns, camp bummers and star
routers hare all been recognized, but
the Union soldier has been strangely
ignored. We wonder if .they eaa
whoop Brodie into office with such a
record.
This year the election of a Demo
cratic legislature is of more vital im
portance than ever. An executive now
holds sway in Arizona who controls
almost every disbursement of tax funds
collected for territorial purposes, and
also the amount of the same though
hit board of control, board of equaliza
tion, county immigration commis
sioners and auditor. The Democratic
party is pledged to modify our statutes
in such a manner as to permit the peo
ple to have some voice in the manage
ment of the territorial affairs. (Phoe
nix Gazette.
While the Final eounty Republicans
favor the single gold standard la their
platform, the Mohave eounty Republi
can convention adopted the following :
"We believe in the free and unlimited
coinage of illver, and hereby declare our
fidelity to iu uee a standard moaey, and
we are In favor of it coinage at all mint of
the United States on an equality with l-old.
at the ratio of IS to 1. without reference to
the action of any other nation."
It is a hard matter to tell where
these Republicans stand, and the re
sult is the party is split up. On the
other hand, the Democrats are har
monious and enthusiastic, and there
isn't a doubt as to how they stand on
every question of vital Importance to
the people.

J
Is his book on "The Laborer and
His pay," Saville Johnson says:
'I do not believe in cheapness, either
in what I have to sell, my labor, or in
what I wish to buy,
"If I boy a shirt for fifty eents, some
poor slave has toiled in rags and
poverty to sew its seams, and with
every stitch is woven in a human tear
or a human sigh ; human blood has
worked the button holes; and the
thought is never out of my mind
when I put it on or take it off, that I
am wearing out, not a shirt, but some
poor, weak, oppressed human life. J i
"Cheapness walks hand in ' hand
with poverty and degradation. '
"Cheapness ruins its men, prostitutes
its women, and starves its children
bodily and mentally. '
"Cheapness means days and nights
of never ending, grinding toil for
labor; and for the rich and indolent,
self indulgence, revelry and merry
making. It means the elevation of
hoarded and interest bearing capital
and the ruin of labor and its partner in
toil, active capital." ,
PROSPERITY PROMISES.
IFrom the Phoenix Enterprise.
Two years ago, in keeping with the
misrepresentation and coercion then
extant, the Bepublicans of this terri
tory promised with the election of
McKinley there would be a flood of
capital rush to Arizona to invest. The
Bio Verde canal was to be constructed
at once, the cost to be ,2,600,000. The
Hudson reservoir at Ton to Basin was
to build at a cost of $8,000,000. There
was to be a completion of the Wolfley
canal and the South Gila reservoir,
while Wade Hulings was going - to
finish the canal contemplated by the
Pennsylvania Irrigation company.
At the time one of the loca papers
said all that the Pennsylvania Irriga
tion company had invested was 2.50
for a sign. Now even that sign is not
visible. Not one of these projects
have been furnished. The Arizona
Canal company, the big institution
then existing, has gone into the hands
of a receiver. The people have felt
the pangs of pinching poverty keenly,
and but for bountiful crops and good
prices, occasioned purely by local con
ditions, there would have been distress
out here in Arizona, the land of bound
less resources.
In the meantime, during these two
years wages have been reduced, the
territorial bonded debt, under the
beneficent influence of Republican
admisistration, has been Increased by
1500,000. The rate of taxation has
been increased and a band of the most
unscrupulous men in all the west have
exclusive control of the territorial
government. . This baa aroused the
people to an extent never before known
in this territory. Party; lines are
yielding, and there is to be a deter
mined effort made at the polls to wrest
from the wreckers the scepter of power
over the finances of Arizona.'
Colonel J. F. Wilson, his name a
synonym for honesty, honor - and
equality, has been nominated by the
silver men as their delegate to congress'
In every county in the territory the'
people have nominated men. for, the
legislature pledged to abolish the laws
creating the board of control and
other appendages of corruption. The
people will prevail, and, regardless of
politics, the pretenders will be banished
from power.
The Coal Fields.
From the Tucson Star.
The Tucson Land Office has received
the plat of the coal fields which has
been offered for filing, but which will
not be officially filed until the expira
tion of at least 30 days from the time
of receiving ths same. In harmony
with this instruction the Begister and
Beeeiver have fixed the 19th day of
November, 1898, at 9 o'clock a. m., of
that day, when the official filing will
be made. Until that date nothing can
be done, as we understand the instruc
tions, by which title can be obtained.
Those who are now in possession of
claims can proceed with exploration
and it may be locations now made might
hold. But the local Land Office will hard
ly accept any filings or take any cogniz
ance of any claims which may be made
until after November 19tb, the date of
the official filing on the plat.
Two rears aero the Vermont democ
racy failed to give unqualified indorse
ment to the Chicago platform. The re
sult was that Vermont's democracy
was buried from sight. This year the
Vermont democracy stood squarely
upon the Chicago platform and the
result was the smallest Republican
victory in many years. And yet there
are some gold advocates who have de
luded themselves into the belief that
silver is a dead issue. World-Herald.
