MALICIOUS CAMPAIGN LYING.

MALICIOUS CAMPAIGN LYING.
 Annsnias ard Sapphira, itis said, were struck dead for lying. Tom Ochiltree and Eli Perkins while permitted to live. have attained g world wide reputation for the same qualification, but for vil- famous, malicious. bare faced, campaign lylng commend us to E. s. Clark, who edits the democratic paper of FIagstaf. and 5. $. Aokers, the giant stockman of the MogoIlon mountains. as may be seen from the following
 "A new scheme comes to light for further ex.ortion from our tax payers. Os,ensioly, ths plan is legitimate enter prise headed by T. 5. Bullock and C. C. Bean to construct narrow-guage rall- road from Prescott to Copper basin dis tict. eigbt miles distant.
 70. cojrse no one will object to these 2 ntlemen building road out of pri- vate resources. bu, it transpires that tney have no such laudable intentio ns. In conversation with MT. s. s. Ackers, who has been fully and reliably in- formed on the subject, the groundwork for steal closely allied to the Prescott & A,izons Central vas revealed to us.
 "T. N. w. Moore, the republican candidate for the council, has entered into combination with Messrs. Bean and Bullock, pledgIng himself in the event oi ms election. to engineer a bill through the coming legislature subsidiz- ing tbe proposed road, after the manner of the Prescott X Arizona Central for sufficient to insure a fat bonus over the cost of construction. Out of this, of course. Mir. Moore and his colleagues are promised liberal whack-up.
 "Mr Moore is ably supported Tn his ittle job b, D. M. Martin, at present book-keeper for the Copper Basin Min ing company and republican candi. date for the assembly, A. T. Brann. and 1 other nominees for the assembly on the republican ticket"
 Such proposition, as the above. was 1 never even dreamed of much less talked of or thought of except in the disor- dered brain of some malicious malcon- ! content. The use of such maliCiously false assertions for campaign purposes 1 assertions, without even the shadow oi truth in them will only react in favor oi the candidates against whom they are used The legislative candidates named in connection with the above ale as honorable men as there are in this county To still further show the malicious lying prospensilies ofthis pollt ical nondesc'ipt. who edits the Demo crat, aman whom respectable democrats of Flagstaff refused to allow to vote al their primary election, see the following
 "In the event of the election Messrs. Moore, Martin and Brann, o
 Prescott, state that if s., 900 per mile is rot suffic cent to cover the expense: of extending the Prescott x Arizons Central road south, they will leg'slate tt
 have ,he subsidy increased to $6, 1000.
 This Is on par with the former, ar out and out falsehood from the frs letter to lhe fast syllable of i.. A little
 explanatory history Tn connection wltt l the above t.o false assertions will shOv exactly the animus which prompts then the source from which they came, a' wei IS the trucking servile spirit of thu
 the editorial peoE, who will sscrlhct
 personal honor, and political principle: to promulgate them.
 ] The Flagstaff Democrat, together ap
 parently with the body and soul of 1t
 editor, Is controlled if not owned out right by J. F. Daggs, the democrati'
 candidate for the council, and his owl
 unpopularity must be very apparent t'
 him when he will resort to such villain
 ous methods as the above, against hI 1 political opponent. We had hoped t
 see the present campaign conducted o' | a reasonably honorable basis, and le candidates win or lose on their persona
 merits. We appeal to the honor an' l good sense of voters everywhere, regard
 less of politics. to place their seal of cor demna,lon on the candidate who vii resort 10 such malicious tactics as th
 above, through the use of personal ol
 gan owned by him. Democrats an'
 republicans alike who know the repnt can candidates named above, kno' that there Is not one scintilla of trut
 ln either ef .he charged quoted again:
 them.
