FRUSTRATED FROM BLEEDING

Monday morning while Fred. Wend-
heimer, an old resident of the town of
Milford, was unhitching his team at G.
Otto's place, on First street, he was
taken suddenly with severe hemorrhage,
vomiting a great quantity of blood and
becoming quite Frustrated. The services
of DR.. J. A. Masterson were procured for
the sufferer, and at one time it was
thought he was dying, but under the
treatment he received he rallied, and
has since gradually gained in strength.

Hon. Mark \. Smith and Charles NJ Stratss Esq, nominees of the Demo- cratic Territorial Convention at Tucson were in St. Johns on last Sunday and Monday to fill an appointment in their canvass. A large gathering of voters assembled at the Court House to hear the gentlemen discuss the issues of the campaign. Harris Baldwin, Esq, acting as chairman first introduced Hon. Mark 4. Smith, Democratic Candidate for Delegate to Congress, who briefly out lined the necessities for national legis- lation relating to the Territory, the rights and wants which should be asked of the general government in behalf of the territory, and the duties and quali- fications of territorial delegate. He favored Photographic survey of the ter ritory and an appropriation to test the feasibility of sinking artesian wells to reclaim the arid deserts of the territory, reduction of the area contained in ln- dian Reservations, so as to reduce the homestead ngh ts of the Indians to a limit not exceeding that of citizens and bona fide settlers; he advocated the Op- ening of this surplus portion of the res ervation to settlement; a survey of lands so as to bring about confirmation ot territorial titles, and opposed confir- nation of large land grants to the injury of actual settlers Mir. Smith is lawyer of ripe experience and an intelligent ob- server of our territorial necessities. His views were expressive of what the peo- pie most need and desire for the terri tory, and Apache county will not fail to contribute her share in his election.
 Charles NJ. Strauss, Democratic can didate, for Superintendent of Public In- struction, was then introduced, and he entertained his audience in a brief ad- dress, recting the duties and necessi- ties of public education, his own zealous interest in the cause and determina- tiOn if elected toprotect and foster these vital popular interests
 MT. Strauss was evidently selected fer the position upon the principle of the fitness of things, and his hearers by the respect and attention shown him en- dorsed the intelligent judgment shown in his nomination. He will have prac- tically no opposition in Apache.
 Local speakers followed the candi- dates ,and the meeting finally adjourned with Smith and Strauss almost unani- nous.

On the 4th day of October 1886, a con
 vention was held at the town of Winslow m this county for the purpose of renom- mating set of officers to be voted for by the people on the 2nd day of Novem- Der 1886 and who, if elected, shall serve the people of Apache County during the years of 1887 and 1888. Many character istics were obserable in that convention which entitled it and its work to the confidence and respect of the voters of the county. Conspicuous among it's features was the harmony and unity of purpose and action which pervaded its whole history, unanimity of thought and intention which demonstrated the crying existence of evils to be corrected and good to be accomplished. Timely notice of such convention was dissemin-:: ated by the press of the county and del egates. representing the best element of every faction in the county, were chosen by the several precincts to represent that spirit of progress and reform which has Its home among the people Politi. cal party/creed was ignored, factional animosity was forgotten and race pref erance lost itself in the spirit of county

The voters of Apache county are not deluded by those islanders which the emissaries of crime are endeavoring to circulate concerning C. F. Owens. The delegates to the Winslow Convention mean business, they were men of delib- eration. intelligence, prudence, rehec. ton and saturated with the wish to re- deem this county from the infamy which through official misconduct, has over reached and disgraced it. Those dele gates have wrought we'll and nobly and no dree of calumny, voiced by the imps of iniquity in this county, will dissuade the voter from electing the man whom the WInslow Convention said is worthy of honor, is worthy of trust, because of his wish and ability to regenerate and disenthrall from impending disaster the best and highest interests of the people Vote for c. P. Owens, the Winslow del egates knew their business and duty.

John B. Milner said in hIs speech O l October 30th that the object o
 the Equal Rightsa was to secure
 equal representation from the three
 factions who compose the voters oi Apache County. In furtherance of this
 scheme, he says, his "Mass Meeting selected the best men from the Nor
 mons, Gentiles, and Mexicans, and John B. Milner and Joseph Crosby were tie choice as the best Mormons. Will the Mormons agree to this? Do or can they endorse Milner and Crosby as their best men? Milner said they selected the best men, and he and Crosby were the choice. Is Crosby better man than John T. Lesueur?
 Tell us how many Mormons were present at the Mass Meeting?" Let them all answer. Why did the meeting not endorse John T. Lesueur? The whole business was fixed up by Milner, Crosby and Hubbell, and they don't care cent for Mormon, Gentle, Mex ican or anybody else, if that illustrious trinity can be elected. We believe that Thos. Perez, Jose Garcia, Alejandro Peralto and few other Mexicans stand just about as we'll as MT. Hubbell, are equally as strong with their own nation ality and much stronger outside, and yet Mir. Hubbell is chosen as the best man among the Mexicans.
 We don't believe Milner and Crosby are the best men among the Mormons, and we do not even believe they are men. We have too much respect for the large Mormon population of Apache County to think so. We do know that I.esueur and 4. V. Greer would be first class representative men among any people, and We gre going to stick by them until the end of the CANVASS

In recent harangue John B. Milner complained to his audience that he had been exempt from that spanking which his compadre, J. L. Hubbell, has received during the pending campaign.
 So its a ''spank" you're hankering after, Sister Milner, is it? Just wait, have patience, there is great big num- Der three hundred "spank" waiting for you on the 2d prox.

Jose Crosby made his little speech on the 3Oth and got so eternally mixed up with equal rights and other people, $ rights that he quoted Bible stories from the Third Reader, and told the people that Solomon had commanded him al- ways to go ''the whole hog or none. !" This he said was equal rights.

It is natural and most surprising that the Spanish voter, by reason of race preference, should favor J. L. Hubbell, but in many instances watch the eye, the pocket, the stable, the sheep fold and cattle herd of the American who opposed c. P. Owens. Keep an eye on his movements and his branding iron.
