ARIZONA SENTINEL.
SATURDAY, = OCTOBER 26, 1878
THE friends of Mr.. A. E. Davis

THE friends of Mr.. A. E. Davis
have been greatly surprised by
the rapidity with which public
sentiment is turning in favor of
his election as Delegate to Con-
gress. This change is difficult of
explanation, but its occurrence is
now too palpable to be denied.
His fitness for the position has
never been questioned; but his
friends, for a long time, agreed
with even the opponents Of Mr..
Stevens, that the latter gentle
man would control the Territory,
and that other candidates had no
chance of defeating him. It was
conceded that no candidate could
be elected unless he had plenty
OF money and would spend it-as
if Arizona votes are merchandise,
to be bought and sold! One month
ago Mr.. Davis could not have
counted on more than fifty votes
In Yuma County; to-day his
strength here is formidable, and
is increasing. There is strong
opposition to Mr.. Stevens in Pima
County; for time this opposition
supported Mr.. Campbell, and it
looked as if he might get at least
400 votes IN Pima County. Since
then that opposition seems to
have soured" on Mr.. Campbell
for some reason, and has been
favoring Mr.. Davis, as the candi-
date most likely to beat Stevens.
In ether parts of the Territory
the anti-Stevens men are also
showing a disposition to concen-
trate their forces in favor of Mr..
Davis.
The very vindictiveness with
which Mr.. Davis is now being as
sailed by the less reputable jour-
nails of Arizona, confirms other
indications of his growing
strength. His friends are now
warming up to the work with re-
newed confidence that, in the
election of Mr.. Davis, principle
Is about to gain a substantial vic
tory over money, over misrepre-
sentation, and over political man
ouvering.

ABANDONMENT Of mail service on Route
4O,105 has cost the people Of Signal and
McCrackin loss of thousands of dollars
1t was October 18th before any one up
there knew that the McCrackin Company's
drafts for August expenses had been dis
honored at San Francisco, although the
schedule time for mails, when carried, is
about 1O8 hours between San Francisco
and Signal. Oyer $4,000 was paid in
drafts for labor and supplies before any
one there learned that said drafts were
not worth the paper they were written on.
The McCrackin mill was shut down Oct.
18th; yet it took the news ten days to get
to Yuma-200 miles. Service was aban-
doned for over three months of the old
contract on the same route. Did our Del
egate, Mr. Stevens, fret about it? Not
much. Let's vote for him again

Stock Phrases q la Commune

The debates in the Senate and the
House during the present session have
been remarkable for many pcculiarities
of which the constant use of stock phra-
ses and epithots is one. The speeches
on the usury bill, the university bill,
and the bond debt have been especially
remarkable for the frequent occurrence
OF these Gpithets. 1t is characteristic OF
the demagogUe and the communist to
make use Of violent terms whose strength
is intended to make up for the weakness
OF the argument. EHTOr anna minStr0t,
and tbs most handy weapons are nick
names and striking epithets. This ac-
counts for tho tiresome iteration Of such
terms as 'the bloated bondholder;' "the
lloated a~ristocrat'' with this ~ alternate
,--"glove-handed aristocrat;' 'the pool
taxpayer and several others. The i'm.
FASHIONED orators among the Repudia.
florists warm the ConsolidatiOnistS not &c
pay the debt because by so doing they
will be working in the interest of 1.-THE
bloated ~bondholdcr.". The university
bill is opposed. because it is in the inter.
est of 'the bloated, g~love-handed aristo.
Gratis" And as for "the poor taxpayer
he is the most distinguished and bcs>
cared for man III the State,-he has q lie.
gion of champions. 1t is to be hoped
that such c~ommunistic and popularity.
hunting expressions will never be heard
in our Legislature again. Our people
wish arguments and not n~icknames, i'll
tcllisent deliberation and not indulgence
in violent language "full of sound and flu.
ry, signifying nothing" 49," -..

ssThc Great Southern Cotton CultlVn
tOr.5

4 few DAYS ago VIC received n printed
sheet with the above heading, and just
below the heading the name Of "Edwaru
II. Sutton, invcntor,' Below the
name was the cut of plough
beam and handles on two wheels. one
wheel under the beam where the handles
were united, and the other under the
point near tho clevis. Between the
wheels were two upright shafts passing
through the beam, and each flattened in
to the shape of a Sclapcr at the foot.
The "C;reat Southern Cultivator Com
panv. Washington, ID. c." says on this
sheet that this implement in the cultiva-
ton of cotton will do the work of ten
, men with hoes. Appended to this assert
ton is Il certificate Of Ex-Governor Brog-
den, of North Carolina, saying that he had
examined the implement, and doubts no
it is Il good thing. Another certificate
from an officer in the Department OF
Justice at Washington d. c., (a nice place
to go to get a recommendation FOR Il
plough says he has examined the model
of this plough invented by Sutton, q
col0rcd mun of North Carolina, and
therefore commeYds it to the farmers and
planters Of the South.
On the reverse side Of this sheet is the
lOlloW Ing lctleIS.
"Permit me to call your attention to
! this improved invention as a valuable ac-
uuisition to the cotton cultivators. Your
very influential position as president O
the Agricultural Societies of our State
will enable You to present the same to the
farmers. and shall he pleased to furnish
it to any at the low price Of ten dollars,
We shall be pleased to have you exam

A Farm Of Seventy.Five Acres.

During the Congressional recess we re-
ccived the following letter, prelaccd Will
an apology for troubling us, and winding
up with Il vote of thanks if we would re.
ply, &c. When we received the letter
Il young friend happened to he near t.
whom we read it and asked his opinion
Said he, THAT is just about the area

"year as bad Il vear as it WAS. My cotton
"crOp paid the expenses of the farm, anC
''laid in my groceries for this year, and
"have considerable corn, peas and fodder
"for sale. killed my W meat and am
cont of debt"
Now as nearly as we can rccollect these
were his vcritable words, and it tells the
whole story quite succinctly. And upon
his report we would say TO II CORES
poldcnt that we think it is an easy mat
ter to live comfortably and keep out OF
debt and possibly lay up Il little on his
farm of sevenly-tive actcs, especially if
he will practice economy and attend to
the business himself; but if he delegates
his business to another, and makes All ac-
count at "tlle store" there will be no
money in his farming.
We propose 10 say something moro in
detail upon this subject mex week:
"Give me your opinion as to whether !
can hope to make a support for my family
Off 4 farm of about s~evcnty-ivc acres of
cultivated land, of good quality, situated
within three miles Of the railroad, in Il
healthy location in the interior of the
State. I have been educated as a mer-
chant, but owing to the competition Of
business find it most difficult and irk-
some to make u support. My fondncss
for agriculture has always been very
great, and ] possess considerable informa-
ton on the subject derived from books
and observation. My policy would he to
avoid cotton, and to devote my energies
to the cultivation of hay, corn, oats, peas,
wheat, potatoes, turnips, carrots and fruit
and the rearing of poultry, hogs and
calves. My policy would be, by all means,
to live off my farm, and to buy only the
few luXuricS that cannot be grown here.
I should enforce the most absolute and
mcthodical economy in every detail, and
every item spent or received should be
accounted for with rs usual accuracy rs |
