EDITORIAL NOTES.

General John B. Mcintosh, a retired army officer, died at New Brunswick. New Jersey, recently.
 Norman Buck, young attorney, was shot in the head and killed by shoe maker named Wilson last Saturday evening in Lordsburg, N. M.
 Henry Waterson objects to the pro- tective doctrines enunciated in the re- publican platform through fear of glut in the market for home product.
 Brother Hugber, of the Star, rolls that alleged home rule resolution of the democratic convention as ''sweet mor- sel" under the head line of his paper.
 Cleveland, it is ''partisanally" an nounced, does not wear number tweh- ty-four slipper. but they do say that he can slip his collar on ever his head after buttoning it-the collar.
 Both of the Tombstone papers fight shy of politics. After ali 1t IS just as well in regard to national affairs. as the territories have neither voice nor infu- ence in the election of president.
 The Tombstone Epitaph says the case of the Red Bandana vs. the Stars and Stripes will be tried during the next four months and the people will deliver the verdict on the 9th of the next No vember.
 The sentiment was very freely ex- pressed to-day by large number of citi- zens that a ''vagrant" ordinance should be passed by the city council. As that body will meet tonight it might be ap- proprizle tor them to consider the mat ter.
 A democratic paper which was re- gently expressing sorrow for the lies which would be told by republican sheets, strikes out boldly by telling two whoppers, viz: that Harrison Is pro Chinese and anii-silver.
 The republican platform IS sound on the question of home rule for the terri torres. It says pending the preparation of the territories for statehood all offices thereof should be selected from the bona fide residents and citizens of the territory wherein they are to serve"

 The Anniston (Ala) Hot Blast IS democratic paper but views with alarm the speedy gait with which its party IS rushing on to destruction. It predicts that the action of the St. Louis oonven- ton in regard to the tariff will cost the democrats a great many votes and sev- CI0I IOsesSSS"~''
 The Martin family seems to be a fayorite m Kansas for gubernatoriai honors. John A. Martin. editor of the Atchison Champion, IS serving his sec ond term as governor. being elected on the republican ticket, and the democrats thinking that there is charm m the name talk of running old John Martin, of Topeka, for governor next fall.
 History will repeat itself again thls year. In I84o Martin Van Beuren was a candidate for reelection as president of United States on the democratic ticket against William Henry Harrison, whls, and was defeated. Cleveland and the English doctrine Of free trade are p'tted by the democracy against Benjamin Harrison, grand son of "Old Tippe- canoe,' and the result will be the same- a victory for the Harrison family.
 We cannot but admire the pluck of .Arlzona's delegates at the Chicago con- vention if their judgment was not the best They attached themselves to the forlorn hope ot the Alger boom and stuck 10 i, from first to the one next to the last ballot, voting for Harrison on the eighth ballet, only attsr he had re- ceived more than enough votes on the ballot for his nomination.
 General Sherman says: ''l think there could not be more powerful ticket than Harrison and Moston. Every man who fought for the preservation of this government should vote for these men Harrison. think. will be as strong as Blaine would have been. Of course would rather my brother John had got ii, but the republican party should be the judge. and select its own standard bearers"
 The Albuquerque Democrat says that 'for the first time since I86o the campaign of this year, will be one of principle rather than of men. Of course the worth and qualifications of the re- spective candidates will enter into the | discussion, but the platform rather than | the man will be the overshadowing is- sue" The main question will not be MT. Cleveland or Mir. Harrison, but. shall we surrender American industries l over to the tender mercies of free trade
