Howler contains the following editorial
note: "With a ghouiish glee seldom
equalled in Arizona journalism the
putty-iaced editor Of The Paralyzer an
nounced the other day that we we're
dead and printed our obituary, The
only possible excuse that he had for do
ing this was that we had not been in
AlBlodgett's saloon during the last few
days. But he knew very we'll that this
was because we were temporarily indis-
posed, having gone TO Tombstone few
days ago and renewed some acquain-
tances. We are all right now, however,
and when the galoot Of The Paralyzer
turns in his toes, 1t will give us great
pleasure to say that his memory will be
most cherished by those who knew him
least"

THERE are but two things the Re-
publicans can do; they can vote for
All Taylor, which would be very hon
orable, but nothing OF importance
would happen to ALI or to the Republi-
cans. The Times would favor the
election of one OF the progressive
Democrats-Porter, Phelan or Col. Col
yar-rather than Harris Democrat, as
the people OF the State would gain by
it. We do not know whether anything
Of the kind could be done, as we are
not aware of the complexion of the
Democratic members.--Maryvuie Times.
The complaint seems to run in the
family. The Times man and his friends
ought to vote for Colyar, one of their

Phelan think Of being put in the same
political class with ALI Taylor and the
