Party Lines.


 Let us divide up, count noses and see how We stand. Let us call the ] roll, sound the slogan, call the clan together in cohvention-select the best men in the party, having refer ence to capacity, fitness and hon. esty, for every officer from council man to coroner-elect them. if we can; go down with their defeat, if we must.
 If the majority of the voters of this county are democrats, or are willing to ally themselves with that party, then Democrats are entitled to the offices, and should bear the responsibility of the county govern ment. Under this suggestion, if the Democratic party selects and elects, a County Treasurer, who shall steal $12,O0O of the people's money, We know where to place the responsibility.
 If the Democrats select and elect man for sheriff, the horizon of whose official view is embraced within circle made by a Winches- ter-who is too utterly incompetent to take any paper from the court, serve and return it according to law--who is so absolutely ignorant of his official duties, as that he can not adjourn his court, then the peo- pie will overthrow that party snow under its candidates, and de- liver the offices to the Republican party.
 This drawing of lines, will cause each party to set up its best men will defeat cliques, combinations and schemers. As the thing now stands, as the boy said, nobody is responsible for nothing"
 In this connection it is well enough to add, that all waters of the county who believe that the better material for the county off cers can be found among the Dem ocrats will be cordially welcomed into the fold but we do not want, nor will the party welcome, we be- lieve, either into its counsel or con- vention men, who are professedly and nominally Democrats, while all of their interests are with the Op- posite party-all their efforts bent in the direction of striking Demo- cratic officials. Such men are not Democrats either in spirit or con duct, and we are willing that they should develop the unexpected manliness of advocating in pub lie, what they are constantly at- tempting to accomplish in secret, and go over in body, as they have already in soul, to the Republican camp.
 Mixed tickets, mongrel tickets, peoples tickets, are all very well in their time. When incompetency in office is glaringly apparent-when official corruption is rampant when there is not sufficient integ- rity in either party to honestly run the government, then it is well enough for the people, regardless of party affiliation, to rise up in their supreme power, and deliver the government over to clean hands. |
 But that time has passed in Apache county. The mixed ticket has served it's purpose.
 Let the Democrats take the coun- ty government, and steer it through 1 it's present financial condition up 10 the plane of credit where she be- longs. Or, let the Republicans take watch them, and see that they go 1 straight. In either event we get 1 he desired end-good government administered.

NJ. \. Smith Re-NOmLnated for Del
 egate by Reclamation.

we cHp the suuJolnod report 0l the Democratic Territorial Conven' tion held at Tucson from the Cliff ton Clarion:
 The Territorial Democratic Con. vention assembled Monday, Septem. Der Sd, according to call. and short. " ofter II o'clock was called to or. der by P. ]. RoIan.
 Contrary to general expectation the proceedings were on whole harmonious, owing, probably to the fact that it was, early in the proceedings demonstrated most conclusively that Hughes, Rolan and the rest of the soreheads had no earthly chance of heinz able to carry their points, and they there fore gracefully submitted to the inevitable and were among the most earnest workers fur harmony, The convention was very enthusiastic, and the hall was most tastefully dec orated.
 L. w. Bilinn of Cochise county was elected ornament chairman, af- ter which the following committee on credentials was appointed Ma, riccpa-Ben Goodrich; Apache Dr. Dalby; Mohave- w. S. Reed :; Gila-W. s. Blair; Pinal-J. P. Gabriel; Cochise-Riehard Rule ]; Graham-J. T. Fitzgerald Pima Fred Hughes; Yuma-H. Behan i; Yavapai-Joseph Goldwater,
 After the committee on credentials had reported, the following com mittee was appointed on reso!u- tons: Samuel Purdy, c. Nj. Strauss, A. k. English, G. w. Camp bell, W. T. Dalbv, w. A. Holmes, L. H. Orme, J. c. Herndon, Geo. H. Stevens and c. NJ. Bruce.
 The committee on resolutions re- ported as follows:
 Resolved-That the platform of 1888 of the national democratic party be endorsed and adopted as the platform of the democratic par. ty of Arizona.
 Resolved-That calls for holding territorial conventions hereafter be be made upon the expression of a majority 1.-the members of the ter ritorial committee designing the time and place of holding such con- and not subject to the ar bitrary action of the chairman of such committee.
 Rosolved--That the order of business of this convention shall be.
 1st. Selection of delegates to 
 2nd. Selection of members of the territorial central committee by each county choosing it's own members and selection of a chair man and secretary o1 the conven- lion.
 Sd. Introduction ofresolutions.
 4th. The selection of joint coun- ,ilmen by the northern and south ern district.
 A careful reading of these reso- utions will show where Bolan and Hughes were in a back-handed way most completely sat down up Dn.
 J. c. Herndon of Yavapai then took the floor and in an eloquent speech nominated NJ. A. Smith for delegate to congress. Hughes sec Onded the nomination. and by al rising vote Mir. Smith was nomi- hated amid great enthusiasm.
 The Territorial Central Commit tee was then appointed, with Nor -ls Goldwater of Yavapai as chair nan aud Richard Rule as secretary. The members from Graham county Ire J. T. Fitzgerald and Geo. H. Stevens.
 The convention then proceeded o the nomination for Joint Coun-
