Democracy of Arizona, and now thaf
 the Convention which sat in Phenix
 on the Eth of the current month, ha,
 rendered its verdict against him, wc
 reproduce our statement of almost
 three years ago in order that thought. less politicians may see themselves as in looking-glass: "The Democracy oi Arizona who publicly wined, toasted and dined c. Meyer Zuhck, as Cover nor of this Territory, will probably
 live to regret it. However, It is char actsristic of. Arizona politicians to go of half-cocksd, and we predict that those same eulogistic gentlemen will see their error, and yet sit heavily down on the subject of their adora- tlon."
 Although there was a very strong nndercurrent of disapprobatien of Zu- Ilck in the party less than a year af- terwards, yet in the Territorial Demo- cratic Convention, September Eth, 1886. the Strauss rpse, ,ution was adtpt- ed, winch sverred 'it6at the people lof Arizona are under everlasting ebliga- lions to our Governor, c. Meyer Zu- lick, for the initiative, and to Grover Cleveland and L. Q. c. Lamar for hay ing made final settlement of the In- dian question in this Territory" L.. c. Hughes, who was given the pro- ceedings of the convention to print, knowing the reference to Zulick lie, dropped it from the report, but Her bert Brown, of the Citizen, ran the resolution down, got it, and published it, to the dismay of the Democratic party, which has since been regarded as beam in the political eye of Strauss, the Caleb Quctum of the Ter ritcrial Democracy. Strauss is every thing by turns, but nothing long. and for that reason it is confidently ex- pected that he will cease to straddle the political fence since Zulick met his Waterloo in Phenlx on the Eth. There are other jackdaws of the party who have occupied the top rail of the fence separating the Democracy from the Zulick wing, who also will be forced to roost lower, and on the Democratic side, or find themselves in contempt of the great principles of the party enun- eiated in 1916, when James Munroe and Daniel D. Tompkins were the can didates of the party winch then for the first tune took the name of Dem ocrats.
 The sequel to the bad blood in the Democratic party engendered by inz tolerant acts of Zul1ck, eliminated ip the recent Convention in the election. of George G. Berry, of Tombstone, and. John c. Herndon, of Prescott, avowed anti-Zulick men, as delegates to the National Nominating Conventiong which sufficiently marked the hlgh wall and deep ditch dividing the wheat from the tares to satisfy the ultras of the opposition to the gubernatorial squad. By thls triumph the rigor of opposition was so relaxed that S. ". Pomeroy, of Graham, and Frank Cox, of MaricOpa. were permitted, as were the bound boys at the husklng, to slip in as altsrnates, as an evidence that thls little war in Arizona politics had dwindled to a calm, and no sooner was it supposed that She demon of dis cord had been knocked on the head than he was seen to rise in the Con- ventiou, wink at Little Steve" hur- rah for Jim Coyle, and offer a resolu- ton endorsing Zulick and his coherts. At first this audacity was productive ot the eloqueuce of silence; a deep hush prevailed everywhere except up on the lips of the reader of the resOlu- tion. But it was net to be always thus. The charm that welcomed hal cyon peace proved evanescent as troubled dream. The interim between its reception and the cry of kick it out, can better be described by the twinkling of an eye, and in obedience to the request, the resolution to en- dorse Zulick was instantly rendered as llfeless as a salted herring. It was showed under by vote of 63 to 1-| Johnny Behan, an appointee of Zulick. cast the only vote in bls favor.
 This result, if closely studied by the Prescott Courier, Zulick's enlightened grandmother, will carry conviction to it's benightsd pretentions that neither 1t nor ZulIck is the guiding star of the Arizona Democracy.
 Citizens of Arizona will commend
