Arizona weekly citizen., 1888-09-08

1T ie tcaliy poinlul 70 me hepuplobu element of Pima county to witness the | Star mans oontortions ln his effort to apologize for the action of the Terri torial Democratic convention in voting down resolution endorsing the Demo cratic national administration. We don't blame the Star for being desirous of escaping the responsibility of grind ing the national administration under the heel of the Arizona Democracy. IL will prove 8 very grave responsibility and no act of our Territorial Demo crecy ever equslled the voting down of this endorsing resolution In sudscity- and nothing hitherto done by this en- frightened CD body. has injured the Democrats of Arizona one-tenth as much ss turning their back on Grover Cleveland, though it is presumed they did it st Mark Smith's bidding. as it was unquestionably his convention.
 Our morning contemporary in labor ed editorial this morning says the con- vention endorsed Cleveland. for they adopted the following resolution: Ike solved, that the platform Of 1888 Of the National Democratic party be endorsed and adopted ss the platform of the Democratic party of Arizona The citing of this resolution as sn endorse ment of Clevelsnd's administration
 would invite the smile of sarcasm on 8
 boy of ten years old. The weak in'
 tellecs that would digest 6 statement
 that the endorsement of the national
 platform, is an endorsement of ClsSe-
 land, is even susceptible of believing
 that the editor of the Star is an upright democrat and Sch ssAklins would be c ft subject for the lunstio asylum The national platform is prepared Tor l, I the endorsement of Mr. Cleveland dur , ing his canvass, as much as for the en- |, dorssmsnt of the Democrats of Arizona If is his dictated besoon light snd he is supposed to steer as near the goal ss
 consistent with Democratic conscience.
 That Cleveland and the Democracy of
 this Territory should both endorse this platform is really strange coincidence , As the Territorial Democracy is railing if no. original, and it is 10 be wondered st that they should descend Co stand on , A leyeI with President Cleveland, m en- . dorsing c platform which promises SC , much and means so little. The Editor , of the Star cannot escape facts publish i, sd in ,hs Stsr of the 4th instant. lt is thus stated, ~thsi Samuel Purdy intro |, duced q resolution endorsing the Ns-
 tiorsl and Territorial administrations, and pledsing to each the individusl

 above resolution is not plain English and if its voting down is not public |, fsct, then the CITIZEN is willing to stand corrected. What 6 veritsble piece Of tomfoolery for the Star to undertake to
 belle its own records, especially when the whole Territory IS oognizsnt or the fact that the resolution ends nins Oleve- lands administration was .qusrely voted
 down. The facts eonpot be suppressed
 and the unterrifed of Arizona will see | if heralded sll over the country that to
 them vss left the honor of giving Cleve

 emsnsted from any of the Democratic
 conventions in this whole broad land. Think of that democrats in connection

 great political battle. In many instances
 Cleveland shares his strong prejudices,
 and if he is no, preiudiced against Mark
 Smith and the Arizona democracy after
 this last exhibition of their harmonious
 love, it will be because his wings have
 commenced to crop out, snd he has no
 more use for the White House. The
 Star man must stand by hIs own record |
