LITTLE BIRDS n THEIR NEST SHOULD AGREE.

The Dem-couboy organ at Tombstone is tearfully jealous of our morning con- temporary, because the latter is evil dently mapping out tho policy of the party in this Territory. It spitefully re- marks:
 The Star Is a sort of political-monop- oly lshmaelite. It's course helps neither it's party nor the railroads, and injures both. Too much of a good thing is worse than nothing.
 And in the same issue the Dem-cow- boy organ goes on and praises the mo- nopoly plank in the Democratic plat form in the following paragraph:
 The platform of the Democratic party of Arizona advocates friendly attitude towards corporate investments and pri- vate enterprises. That is, it advocates justice for all, and special privileges for none.
 The Stars course is consistent with the Democratic platform. which was made up of the utterances of that pa- per, and the Dem-cowboy organs attacks upon is is a left-handed way of going back on tho platform. The Phenix con- vention adopted almost verbatim plat form which was prepared in the office of our morning contemporary and put in type, and We are quite certain submitted to the inspection of a prominent rail- road official, before the convention met As the editor of the Dem-cowboy organ was a member of the convention which adopted the platform and gave it the label of Simon pure Democracy, 1t is a little late in the day to squeaL
