see Ludt uuSC V ASSs" 6Os sA1S "O'"> VI it." We'll we shall see, what kind of bomb MT. Strauss is loaded with.
 "A lie we'll stuck to is better than the truth" it is the motto apparently of the Flagstaff Democrat. It started out with a malicious falsehood against certain legislative candidates on the republican ticket in hopes of betteripg its candidate for the legislative council, and with bra zen effrontery still keeps up,. in an insln- uating way, its assertions although its cd itor knows there IS not word of truth in them.
 Twelve thousand people greeted lanes G. Blaine in Indianapolis. As all his engagements except two have been cancelled it looks as though ln- diana was considered safe for the repub- cans. Another feature of the campaign is that Governor Hill, of New York. has been sent to Indiana indicating that the former state is hopelessly republican while ''lasl ditch" effort will be made to turn the tide for the democracy in Indiana.
 "While laboring men" who received salaries of from SIS to $I5o per month in the south during slave times were those engaged in slave driving princi- pally. They worked with whips and thongs. MT. Gunton knew what he was talking about whsn he wrote, that de- mocracy and cheap labor went hand in hand. As an evidence see New York City under democratic rule. Instead of the employment of Irishmen there as for merly on public works cheap Italian con tract labor is employed. This may be democratic economy" but it IS dem- ocratic cheap labor as we'll.
 It was ominously reported on the streets on Saturday night that a private telegram had been received at the dem ocratic headquarters, from Newark, New Jersey, that the city had increased its democratic majority by five hundred votes. It turns out, however, that the increase reported was loss Republicans carried eight of the fifteen wards and the democratic majority was reduced from 1895 in 1887 to 57o gain to the republicans of nearly 500. Thus it is one by one the different states show the trend of public opinion, and foreshadowing the certain election of Harrison.
 Our contemporary says if O Neill is elected sheriff it will be because demo- crats support him. It is somewat notice able fact this year. that even in national affairs as we'll as local large percentage of democrats are supporting the repub- lican nominees. In the former casesit is because the republican party are out spoken in favor of protection to Amerl- can industries. In the latter it IS on ac- count of the superiority of the ticket placed in nomination by the republican county convention. The republican county ticket clear through, from top to
 bottom, is a good one, worthy of sup port from all classes of voters.
 Our contemporary denies having tried to create a prejudice against Prescott in 6 recent paragraph published. It was working, it claims, solely and disinterest- edly for the welfare of the republican party, claiming that enough offices were not given to outside precincts. We would like to ask this new champion of the republican party what names were presented to the convention from outside precincts for either of the offices men, toned. It is time enough to "kick" when there is good legitimate "kick" due. The f.ct is that the nominees ac- cused of being from Prescott were nom- mated by exclamation without opposi- ton.
 MT. Walkers mouthpiece says it "is waiting patiently for Judge O'Neills or gan to deny that he received 5000 from the subsidized railroad" We'll. as there was nothing dishonorable in the trans action. neither Judge O'Neill nor his friends will deny it. The transaction was simply this: Judge O'Neill pub lished a very ably written pamphlet on the resources of Northern Arizona, and the subsidized railroad" subscribed for 5000 worth of copies of it. Notwltts- standing this fact and the further fact that Prescott's business men aided the enterprise. Judge O'Neill was cut of pocket several hundred dollars in adver- using the resources of the territory.
 Our democratic contemporary of Flag staff IS a sort of echo to the democratic daily of Prescott. A recent number of the latter. in which the defeat of T. J. Eaman, before the republican conven- ton for councilman was tearfully related affected the loachrymcse glands of the former and it asks the JoURNAL-MINER to tell why "honest T. ]. Eaman was not nominated" This is the simplest thlng in the world. "Honest Thomas" got left from exactly the same cause that defeated Honest James R. Lowry in the democratic contention. Neither o; them received quite enough votes. Sheepman Daggs, the boss editor of the Democrat. beat Lowry, while Miner Moore got more votes than Eaman.
 GA brief, but concise and peculiarly interesting communication from MT. ]. L. Fisher, of Prescott. democratic candidate for the assembly, Is on our desk, publication of which IS neces- sariIy delayed until next week. The derived from the docu- ment are novel. and some of the ideas unprecedented. However. voters will be given ample opportunity to draw from it then own conclusions. s."-Flagstaff Democrat. The above was no doubt pub lished for Mir. Fishers benefit. but as that gentleman is now in San Francisco the Democrat will fail Tn its object The impression derived from a num- Der of m;ssires received by candidates from the editor of the Flagstaff Demo crat are neither novel or new, but ex- pressed by single word.
