and imposed upon himself and fami-
~, hoary headed and reyered
though he was, base insults and in
jury. and taking meat and corn and
wheat, and whatever their voracious
appetites called for. But this was o
long time ago.
To one OF our cand datts for repre-
sentative who is still subject to the
action of the so called corrupt de.
mocracy, this offers an excellent OPP
portuDity, or will he march right on
with hardness of heart and repro.
bacy Of mind and still refuse to be
purified when purity is so literally
offered. OF course this noble band
did take from the candidate referred
to a mule, bride and saddle, and did
go to his house headed by colored
individual who presented a six
shooter as authority, and unwarranta-
bly, searched and abused his premls-
es, and caused him through fond
ness for his life to absent himself
from his home and fireside, and
during his absence one of his neigh
bors with a colored squad went to
his house and raided his pear trees
and other fruit aud treated his wife
with contempt, and to-day this same
neighbor is an active member Of the
band that proposes to purify said
candidate. These things were done
of course, but then it was in '72,
and also in time Of peace.
One of our candidates for sheriff is
in the same condition, still going on
refusing publication. These puri-
iiers at time when said candidate
was under the yoke of bondage did
go to his. mothers and by force did
drive her cattle to the Stewart
slaughter yard, and did kill and eat
them. But that was in ~.
A portion of this noble band of
reformers and purifiers was with an
other band that took two as good
men as ever trod the soil of Liberty
township and near RIsseIlville,
made their wives widows and their
children orphans as they passed the
never to be forgotten signal Ozark
as Egypt" Egypt has no eyes"
But that was in ~.
Some democrats have already ac-
cepted of the reformation and have
been washed. heard, one say that
he was a democrat, and his vote was
recorded against the ticket, that he
had belonged to rings and cliqnes,
but had asked God to forgive him.
This old man made bright pro
fesslon.
These reformers have given some
of the reformed democrats who have
come out of the so called corrupt
democracy the highest positions
within their power, which of course
was accidental. When the most
active and numerous element of this
reform party was in power OF course
our assessments we're very high.
But this was In ~, and it must he
remembered that the assessor got
per cent and the higher the assess
ment the greater the per cent. We
may also be allowed to remark that
the first corrupt democratic legisla.
ture that met in '73 took off 65 per
cent. OF the assessment made by one
Of these reformers. A b. OF F.

To Democrats throughout the
county, we would respectfully sug-
gest line of activity, conservatism
and earnest work. There are good
many honest democrats who just
now think they will act with the b.
OF f. ticket, which good conserva
tive line of argument and reasoning
may bring back to the folds before
election day. Kicks aud cutting and
saying hard things in tie main, is
not the best remedy to get men to
change their opinions. AS general
thing they toll better than they
drive. The truth, however, in all
cases is to be presented, but it ought
to be done dispsssionately. We can
see no reason under the sun why a
democrat shoul3 at this time wish
TO separate with his party. This
new independent party certainly can

THE PLATFORM.

we present below q lew OF the
principles OF the democratic party
as promulgated Ia its national plat
form, covering the subjects OF re-
form, the tariff, labor and free and
untrammeled elections. These pub
lish the faith and purposes of the
great democracy in regard to these
great underlying subjects Of Ameri-
can freedom and prosperity. We
would like to print the whole plat
form, but haven't space this week.
THE democracy pledges itself to
purity the administration from cor.
ruption, to restore economy. TO revive
respect for law, and to reduce taxa
ton to the lowest limit CONSTANT
with a due regard to the prcserva
Lion OF the faith Of the uatlon to its
creditors any petitioners. Knowing
full well, however, that legislation
affecting the occupation Of the pco
Pile should be cautious and conserva-
tive in method, not in advance of
public opinion but responsive to its
demands, the democratic party is
pledged to advise the tariff in the
spirit of fairness to all interests; but
in making reduction in taxes it is
not proposed to injure any domestic
industries. but rather to promote
their healthy growth From the
foundation OF this government taxes
collected at the customhouse have
been the chief source OF federal rev
enue. Such they must continue to
be. Moresver, many industries have
come to rely upon legislation for
successful continuance; so that any
change OF law must be at every step
regardful Of the labor and capital
thus involved. The process of re
form must be subject Id the execu
ton to this plain dictate of justice.
All taxation shall be limited to the
requirements OF an economical gov
eminent. The necessary reduction
in taxation can and must be effected
without depriying American labor of
the ability TO compete successfully
with foreign labor, and without I'M
posing lower rates of duty than will
be ample to cover any increased cost
of production which may exist in
consequence Of the higher rate of
wages prevailing in this country.
Sufficient revenue to pay all the cx-
penses of the federal government
economically administered, includ.
ing pensions, interest and principal
OF the public debt, can be got under
our present system Of taxation from
custom house taxes on fewer import
ed articles, bearing heaviest on az
ticles Of luxury and bearing lightest
on articles Of necessity. We there
fore denonncs the abuses of the ex-
listing tariff, aud, subject to the pre-
ceding limitations, we demand that
federal taxation shall be exclusively
for the public purposes, and shall
not exceed the needs Of the govern.
ment economically administered.
We believe in a free ballot and a I
fair count. and we recall to the mem
DRY Of the people the noble struggle
OF the democrats In the Forty fifth I
and Forty-slxth congress, by which /
a relunctant republican opposition
was compelled to assent to legisla-
tion making everywhere illegal the
presence Of troops at the polls, as the
conclusive proof that democratic
administration will preserve liberty /
with order.

Had the Dover, Pope county, Con
vention purposely set out to defeat
the democrats of the county, they
could not have accomplished it more
etfectually than by the passage Of the
subjoined resolution:
Resolved 3D.: That none OF those
democrats be allowed to participate
in SAID primary election who have
gone into the independent political
movement of the b. of f. of this
county unless he shall renounce his
political connection Herewith"
That domineering, arrogant and
stubborn spirit which has character
lied few self-styled leaders of the
party, crops out In the foregoing
resolution to the point Of madness. =
Atkins Reflector.
Well, perhaps the democratic con-
vention ought to have sent for the
greenback apostle of the Reflector
and submitted the arrangement Of
its platform and rules TO him. In
such an event, we might have had
rules which wonld have admitted
parties into our primaries who were
not in utilization with the democratic
party. But in his absence the party
in It's convention undertook to ar
range matters so that a democratic
primary should be participated in by
democrats, or those and those only
who expect to act with the party in
the general election. The Reflector
nor any other man of ordinary intel
ligence will contend that party
has not a right to protect itself from
those who would impose themselves
upon it for base purposes. Besides
no gentleman would want the oppor-
tunity, or take advantage of 1t if he
had it, TO participate in any primary
election or convention of party
when he did not consider himself in
utilization with it. 1t is past the
comprehension of reason how any
one could object to the rule in the
democratic party that would simply
require the assurance of good faith
on The part of those who are to par
ticipate. The democratic party pro-
scribes nobody, no more than any
other proscrbes them. Its doors
are Away $ open for recruits. All it
wants to know is that those who
come, come with good intentions.
And this howl from our neighbor is
simply gratnitous waste Of breath.

the counsel that he had slept only two hours last night. The curiosity of the audience was intense and at the rustic or commotion ct the door, there would be turning of heads and stretching Of necks. At las the jury filed in at 9:57 a. m. and as they seated themselves the silence was oppressive. After the usual ques> tions, the prisoner was ordered to stand up, but was so weak that he had to be assisted to his feet; the foreman then announced the verdict and the crowd which with difficulty had been restrained during the day, gave vent to approval in loud cheers which the immense crowd outside took up and answered back and an- other cheer went up from inside. Finally order was restored and the prisoner remanded to jail until to- morrow, when he will be examined by committee as to his present mental condition. Mrs. Mutt and Lizzie were not present, they re- mained at the residence of Mayor Brown, where tue glad tidings were quickly conveyed to them.

FROM a private letter to gentle man here m Phoenix, from Donald

FROM Prescott comes the cheerirg intelligence that articles 6ss incor- poration of--a railroad company formed for the purpose of building railroad from Maricopa to Phoe : nix, have been filed with the secre~ tary of the Territory.
