POLITICAL.
Address from the Yavspai County Central Committee of the Peoples Party, to the Voters of Yavapai.

GENTLEMEN We have the honor to-day, to submit to you ticket, and to ask your support of the same at the election to be held on the 5ih of November next, sud "a make a brief statement ct the reasons why this ticket Is placed in the hclA. and why ve heli<ys h should De fayorably treated by the yesers of this county.
 -Four years ago the krpahitgaa organization of ths county had eceo<ne dSraGgcd and somc Of ss members uaiscd with other oatsiders who were averse io strict rartixan ,sanixAtions and placed before you, through the medium as reg nhrly called Convention, Peoples tickea oosa- posed of thc best men who could be found willing to run on that basis, selected fros she people without regard to previous party affiliations,
 The support the ticket received thea and tyu years ago, was very encouraging and ,le Central Committee had intended to call a Convrn,Iou this year, and place similar ticket in Inc neid, but, previous 10 the Democratic Convention held August 3lst, leading members of the Democratic party made point of calling upon members of the Peoples Committee and stated that, so far as they able to ascertain, the feeling in the Dem ocratic party in this county was ln favor of mak- ing ticket for county officers, and members Of the Legislature, Of our best men without regard to party, with the exception of the Shcriff. and as two Democrats wished 10 for the Sherifaty, and both preferred to submit their claims 10 Democratic Convention rather than 50 divide the party vote, Democratic Convention would be called, and asked that the Peoples Commitie would select names of men whom the Committee would recommend for one-half of the offces io be filled at the November election piedging them selves to use e,ery effort on their part 10 Induce the Democratic Convention 10 endorse such men, and then i'll up the ticket from the Democratic party and even suggested the name of . promi- nent citizen for Inc joint Councilman asking that the Peoples Committee should endorse him If acceptable, and received assurances that his name was perfectly satisfactory The propositions so made were received by this Committee with much qualification, and at meeting when ercry mem. Der of the Committee but one was represented, 1t was unanimously voted to accept the proposals made, and n list of names for half of the offices to be filled was made up and given to tue Chair. man of the Democratic Central Committee, who presented it to the Democratic Convention. The action Of ihe Peoples Committee and the names of the gentlemen for whom preference pressed was published in the MISER of August 3i. {. The Democratic Convention met on that day, and, much to the surprise of the Peoples Committee, entirely ignored our action and did not place In nomination single name sent into the Couven- lion by this Committee.
 Thcle is no question but that the gcpilcmen ib the Convention wLo had conferred with the Peo- ple's Committee, and caused the action above stated, acted in good faith, but the Convention a stormy one and they were ovcr-ruled, and a straight-out Democratic ticket so far as noui nations were made. was put up and was placed before you in the MINER of September 7th
 The Peoples Committee had determined, In
 
 leading Democrats before their Convention, to call no Peoples Convention, and even afterwards hesitated as to what course to pursue.
 The action of the Democratic Convention how ever, caused much dissatisfaction and the Peo. plc's Committee was strongly urged to call n con. vention and place m opposition ticket in the field. The latencss of the day that must ensue before Convention could bc held induced the Committed, after careful sconsulra aton, with those in sympathy with the Peoples party, to take the ticket sert in to the Democratic Convention and fill it up and present 1t to the voters of the coun- ty at once; A meeting of the Committee was held, large list of nimcs was selected of men whom the Committee were willing to endorse, and a subcommitte was appointed to interview those men and ascertain their feelings. The re- suit Is to-day given you
 Some of the men who were placed on the list sent to the Democratic Convention, were unwil- ling to go into contested election as candidates, who were perfectly willing to serve the county had they been placed in nomination by that Con- ventOn, as they would then have seemed to Dc acceptable to all parties and would have been elected without any strife. The places of those have been filled with others, who believe In tho principles of the Peoples party, viz: the selec- ton of worthy officers irrespective of party, and the rest Of the ticket Is composed of men who have worked in tho ranks of the Republican and Democratic parties heretofore, who arc fully sat. sfed that in this rrarsely settled county, where poor population has been struggling against many obstacles for years, the most desirable results have not been realized by having the entire con- trol of our county affairs in the hauds Of strict partIzan organization
 In placing this ticket before the public the Con- mittec feel pleased to be able 10 say that every man whose name Is on the ticket has declared that he will certainly serve in the office for which he is nominated If he Is elected. As a whole the Committee believe that no better ticket has ever been presented In Yavapsi county, and confident y ask that the taxpayers and voters of the coun- ty will consider without party or personal preju- dice where their interests as citizens lie, and on the 5th of November next will give the ticket a support that shall satisfy all that when good men like those on this Peoples ticket are willing to serve the people their sacrifice of time and per- sonal business Is fully appreciated.

 Chairman Peoples County Cen. Com.
