 EDITOR ToMBsToNE-rhe most im- portant office to be filled at the conl- ing election, that of member of Terri toria1 Council, seems to be lost sight of by the people at large. 4 Sheriff does not make our laws, neither does a Treasurer or Constable. There is no principle involved in these county elections, excepting to elect men who are honest and trustworthy; not so much so with members of our Legis- lature. They should be men who are solid on the question which is upper most in the minds of all lovers of lib erty ard equality, the rights of labor, and who will defend those rights against the encroachment of that paral; zing monster-monopoly.
 The Republicans, ill the nomina- ton of w. A. Harwood, threw down the gauntlet and brought out q man who can consistently be termed a working man" in everything that name implies. The Democracy ac- ceptcd the challenge and sounded the name of L. w. Blinn, q disciple of monopoly. Has he not been a tool of the Southern Pacific R. R. Co. for the past ten years? Dare he make q move unless this mighty corporation pulls the string? Here is man who owes to the laboring men of Cochise county and to their energies all of his possessions here today, and who, whea requested by them-and they had the right to ask ito lend them d helping hand in their ende&vor to rid themselves of that menace to tn 1T labor-the Chinese curso-turned e deaf ear to their entreaties, and in polite terms told them 10 go to Hades And even to-day he employs Chinese in preference to white labor. White men and white women Of his own race walk the streets, not know. ing where the next meal Is to come from. The position of both Harwood and BIinn on the county division scheme was disgraceful, We admit that. Biinn raised the money and sent 1t 10 Harwood with instructions 10 bay votes i'll the name of lis con- stitucnts. IIarwood in the name uf his cunstitueuis spout the nion"y Hnd defeated the counly division. The only inference 10 draw from this is that Harwood will at least carry ont the wishes of his constituents, even at the cost of his own reputation, ad- hitting that the end justified the means. Was rot Bllnn deeper in the mui than Uarwood Was i2 the mire? Let the iae be drawn. Labor on one side and monopoly on the other. La b,r and capital always go hand in hand. Labor and monopoly never. Go to Benson and ask of the railroad employees who they intend voting for. "Dlinn," IS the answer. Go to Wtl7 cox and ask the slme question. "Blinn," is tue answer "gain. Why did L. ". Blinn depart fur Caiiiornia ! the next dry or two after he noni- natcd himself for the Council in the Den ocratic convention? Does NJ;
 Biinn pay his fare when he rides over the S. P. railroad? Did Mir. Dlinr have a conference with the railroa. magnates after arriving in San Fran ciscu2 "6:raws tell which way th( wind blows" Draw the veil.
