 Tucson Is the natural political center
 ot Pima county. It acquires that dis;inc
 non oy reason of the fact that ;t IS the,most | central point and because It is the nome
 or The Pima county contingent of perips-

 ~hlle there few days ago looking a. the
 old pueblo's beautiful htIle tree planting
 and other bOomlet=. snatched from fleet lng Times buttoEhole bOguet few DO
 lltleal and other buda.
 The hr5t political bee that comes buz
 zlng around tells yOu plainly that 1T he
 Arizona delegates to ihe National De
 m'cratic convention don't give President
 C'eSeland to understand that he wa-
 irsading on marshy grrunG when be
 made C. Meyer Zllick governor of Arizo-
 DO, itis not the fault of ucson democrats.
 They will sit down on Zulick with an un-
 anlmity that will reduce the gubernatO-
 rial stomach to the condition of thrice
 used postage stamp.
 As regards county politics not much Is
 being said, but there are lot of felloNs
 peeplng out from under the political counterpane and trying 70 look just as
 genial as IL IS possible for human being
 to look. They have not yet doffed the dude uniform and douned the simple gsrb of tbe rsncher and miner, but they grab the toIl-corrugsted hand o' the cosntry clOdhopper with a muscular vim born of good feed, and drink not obtained Et a milk-maIds' convention Neither have they as yet put up private bulletin boards m the saloons. but the rural politician has only tO scrape the | Norway nails in bis shoes on the court | house threshold when be IS at once sur rounded by c0terie of smiling gentle | men, who st once convince him that be ] ought to be in congress instead of fol- | lowing flock of sheep around over the | mesgs picking mp snd filing away in a barley sack newborn lambs, or punch Ing the hair of the breech end of be burrC. loaded with picks, pans and So- nora beans. The first question they will ask Is the condition of business ID your nearest village and the probable increas e ID population since last year. If Mrs. ! ClOdhopPer happens to be a daughter of the land of iseveral-days- they will ask you If her father, her uucles, her
 ousins aud aunts have moved up from Sonora yet, and whether or DO, they have their names on the great register, fL1 nAE AAAA-AAElk EAAALEAr tA tue HAUL | 'fthe free and the home of train robbers md railroad wsshouts. IT Mrs. Clod- l hopper Is not a flower plucked from the Earden of fsqui wars, bandits snd con- . 'enient jAils for gringo officials, they Vill congratulate you upon the the rapid ,rowth ot high-stOned society in your : lommuoity and diligently inquire after , he little ClOdhoppers, and whether or loi their intellectual target Instructor iss sense enough Co leave his or her oom when SD earthquake enters, If : here is no Mrs ClodhOpDer snd you are z ne who Rlides elOwn liies rugged tream alone, spend your evenings in the l.lage ginnery playing freeze Out' for iX blI whisky, you will be told all about D he Ellded palaces of pomade, paint and [ where you can 20 and "see the i2htE" aiter the mIlk maids convention a ; over.
