 Readers of this paper will bear us out in the assertion, that not single line or word hes appeared in it edrtorially dur during the present campaign of a per. sonal nature against either candidate on the democratic ticket or of the edi- tor of the democratic paper notwith- standing which the latter has of late devoted considerable space to petty little personal filings at us. The malice is SO apparent in them that no reply is necessary.
 Our contemporary this morning at- tempts to tell about the recent visit of candidates to Tonto basin. But while it depicts very glowing acconnt it failed to state of the meeting between an ex-sheriff of this county and taxpayer in that section who held duplicate tax re- ceipts from him for taxes paid one year amounting to about $4e. When it comes to paying taxes twice for the same year and not be able to get . re- fund the averge tax payer commences to kick.
 When Judge O'Neill in his annual report recommended abolishing the territorial office of superintendent of public schools, C. M. Straus boasted that O Neill would get the worst of it. We'll, it seems this ominous threat was based on a charge he has formulated stating that Judge O'Neill had taken money from the stronger districts and appotiioned it to the weaker. We are inclined to the opinion that investigation of the county superintendents books will reveal the fact that the school money of this county has been apper- tioned according to law.

Davis served as a member of the territorial legislature and was also a candidate for superinten- dent of public instruction. As pubic official he leaves a clean record, as . man he was honorable in all things, and in ability is qualified to fill any office. We congratulate Los Angeles on the Of such an honorable gentle man tn represent them in the important position. as supervisor of such . large county. and hope that his election may be assured.
