TIE Citizens and Taxpayers party met at Masonic hall last night and placed in nomination for School Irus- tees for School District No. l, H. $. Ste yens. c. E. Sessions and Mrs. F. \. Fish. These persons were nominated by exclamation, 1t having evidently been prearranged, notwithstanding there were a number of others put m nomina- ,iop. This party organization had its birth in the late special grand jury room, or if it would please the grand iurors better. will say the result ot their tabors upon that occasion brought forth the new party. We do not say ;ha. those who first conceived the Idea were prompted by selfish motives. They may have had the purest motives; may have conceived the idea that because they fouud something not according to thelr notion oI conducting public affair thai ,bera WAS something rotten in DeumaFs, and the thing to do was to dig # ont, or if there was no digging, take command and ruu the machine 10 suit themselves.

Ii commenced by getting signatures to some kind of pledge; then c,rculars were issued appealing to what they conceived reason md what others thought passions and Pre!udices' Roth had the effect of calling a meeting, where number of citizens gathered There were present some of our best people. It is hard, however, to deter

There were Democrats and Republicans in the meeting The Republicans, however, seemed modest and took middle and back seats; Democrats rushed to the front and the first grab they took twelve

 New Orleans Deutsche Zeitung: We think just as little of the platform of the Democratic convention as We do of the candidates. The main question, which undoubtedly will divide the cam psign III the North. Is avoided in an un- worthy manner. by which nobody will be fooled. With the old. oft-repeated declaration against sumptuary laws, the Democratic party will not draw one German Republican over, because they have only lately made tue experience m Ohio what such Democratic promises amount to. We will discuss other faults and weaknesses of the Democratic ticket and platform later. To-day 1t may suffice to say that neither one suits us, and that the success or such Demo- cratic candidates on such platform looks to Us more than doubtful

THE Mormon question iu Arizona IS becoming seFidSs matter. This sect, which defies social and statute law and which contends that by Divine law they practice the crime of polygamy, IS crowding into Arizona. It Is well to understand this fact. Chief Justice Howard, recently in an address, said:
 When God created these mountains and filled their bowels with the most precious of metals, when he created these valleys and covered them with beautiful yerduTe, do you believe that he did so that a pOlygamous priesthood should enter here and drive back the American influences which alone made 1t the home of cultured and prosperous communities? l say to you. fellow cln zens, that It is not only the uesIgn of that foul and interruptions priesthood to se:ze upon this Territory and those adjoining IL and blight and curse It with the spirit of priestcraft and persecution, but that 1t will be an accomplished fact unless there Is n rising of the people ot this Territory. without regard to politics through their Legislature, to free them selves from the impending danger. l need not 20 back and turn over the dark leaves of that priesthood to satisfy vou that there IS danger. l need not 90 to the Mountain Meadows or to the other scenes of darkness and carnage to show YOU their deprsvity and the moral deIormity that has actuated them since it has found q foothold on this con- tinent.

YEs, the New York Times endorses
 Grover Cleveland for President. It
 would be a surprise if the Times dld
 not strongly endorse NIT. Cleveland.
 The Times is principally owned by En-
 glish capital. English statesmen favor
 the Democracy; they have always sym
 pathized with that party. The Demo-
 cratic party has been the free trade par
 ty of America, and the English long
 years ago gave it encouragement. There
 has existed a bond of sympathy and
 friendship for long tune between the
 Southern Democrats and the English.
 The aristocracy of the South and the ar
 istocraey of the North sv long ago as 1921 formed a lasting friendship through the
 medium of slavery and King Cotton.
 England encouraged slavery and when the war 10 perpetuate that institution
 began England sympathIzed with the South and gave her all the encourage ment it was possible. The Democratic party in return since the war have ad- vocated free trade. To say that the Democratic party is essentially the En- glish party of America is not going, we think too far. But the people of Amer lea are opposed to an English party m this country and will down such par ty at every election to come as 1t has heretofore. The English have been bold in their endeavors to get posses sion of this country through its ROths- childs and the Democratic party. They have sent and will send large sum of money Co this country to defeat the Re publican party and esp ecially James G. Blaine who IS an AMERICAN, every inch. They hate Blaine as Thomas Jefferson used to hate lhe English England is
 fighting for free American ports 50 she can food this country with her manu- fsctured stuffs, her surplus railroad iron, steel, etc, reducing wages to a few shIll- ings day, shutting uD manufactories all over this country and throwing out ol employment millions of men, wom- sn and children. This is why the New York Times endorses Cleveland. The English lords and Lord Cleveland eau shake hands, and the latter can turn the state affairs cf his country, in a measure over to the lords of England. The Democratic party IS the English party of America. England loves it, fosters 1t and furnishes brRiIs and money to keep It alive. The Democratic news papers of the country are chucklng over the support of the New Ysrk Times. They are welcome to 1t. To win through journal of the character of the New York Times. would be a greater disaster han 10 lose the battle. Tbere would be degradatiou to an American rather than triumph in such u victory. The English in their anxiety to win in this fight have shown their hand too ea;ly ID the game. Their hatred for Bluiue is real and they do not take pains to conceal 1t. They hate him because he is an American who will fight for Americas rights and interests, and who ever stands guard over the interests and rights of this country must ever find foe in Eng land.
