majority. their leglslatien generally va, of such a character as in reality has proven more expensive to taxpayers than the extravaganza of their predecessors. That party, therefore. goes before the people w'th.pledees of reform unfulhlled. and the independent vote, which put them in power two years ago. will rele- gate their ticket to defeat this year. The outlook is now favorable for the success of the republican ticket not only in this county. but throughout the territoy. Republican candidates are pledged to correct the evils of legislation of the Fourteenth legislature. and to this end should receive the hearty and solid sup port of every man who is not irretriev- ably bound to party.
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1888-10-31

The claim repeatedly made that the
 democrats have a majority in Yavapai county does not seem to be supported by results of election since party lines have
 been drawn in this county. By refer. ence to the past elections it will be seen that the republicans have always elected a far percentage of their ticket at least and in some instances majority of it. This demonstrates that the independent
 voter holds the balance of power in the county. In not.a single election since the organization of the two parties has either one gained an unquestionable victory. The result has always been divided and showing unmistakably that the balance of power was in the hands of the voters allied te neither party.
 For this reason and for the further reason of the superior fitness and qualifi- cations of the republican candidates the prospect is excellent this year for the elertion of the republican ticket Two years ego on account of great howl about republican extravaganza and lib- eral promises Of the exercise of more economy if the democrats were success full solid democratic delegation wasI elected from this county to the territo- rial lesislature.

FRAUDuLEsT REGISTRATION

By reference 10 affidavits publisht d ln this issue, 1t will be seen that crime against free vote and fair ballot has been committed in thIs county by fraudulent registration. Just 10 what exten: this has been carried on cannot now be de- termined, whether these three names mentioned in the affidavits cover the extent of 1t, or whether false regis tra- ton has been carried on indefinitely. The revised statutes says that "No persons name must he entered by the recorder unless" "In other cases upon the affidavit of the party that he was born Tn the United States and will be an elector of the county at the next ensuing election"
 Notwithstanding the above plain pro- vision of the statutes governing county recorders. here are afiidavits of two men who say they had not been in the territory thirty days when ;he,r names were placed on the great register, and that they were placed there without their consent.
 The penal code of the revised stutu,es says:
 "Any officer who willfully enters the name of any person no, entitled to reg istration upon the great register or roll of electors IS punisha- ble by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars or by imprisonment in the county jail or territorial prison not exceeding one year or both"

CIVIL sEsv,cE REFORM.

Next to its free-trade policy, the pres ent administration IS pledged to civi service reform Its idea of reforming the civil service IS to discharge republi cans and replace them with democrats not sparing women and children as vii be Seen by a circular recently issued which We produce below as follows:
 Confidential.

For DeIeoato co Conaress.

The b tier aspersions and radical mis' representations of the centortionist on the morning contemporary concerning Gen. Wilson, the republican candidate for congress. simply display the devo- tion of the writer to . prospective sub sidy when MT. Smith arrives in this city tomorrow. Notwithstanding these va, porings the public of this county is not likely soon to forget the connection Of Mark Smith with the attempt to wrest from certain settlers m this valley the titles of their honestly acquired property. Of course MT. Smith did not put in a personal appearance, but his name and moral support were permitted to be used and had he been a resident of this city he would have been in the active prose- cution of these cases with his firm.
 Again, it is no secret that the real work in cougresf, for which MT. Smith gets credit, and for which he reads the speeches. has been largely done by atter- neys paid to look after the interests of the people of Arizona. We all remember how quickly the character of the news concerning MT. Smiths position on the land court bill changed when indignation meetings were held in Central Arizona denouncing that measure, measure that MT. Smith was reported to have supported when the bill was first presented. What was it that thus suddenly wrought this apparent change ot heart1 We do not desire to detract one iota of real honor from MT. Smith for what he really did. but we object to having bis failures and weaknesses buried to the people under a cloak of demageguery that would not fail to make him the demi-god of the Huachucas If it were ample to do SO. There are some of these things that MT. Smith will doubtless need to explain to the people of Maricopa county before the 9th of next month--Herald

like to ask NIT. Walker and his organ,
 both, why 1t was that after Judge Wright said that common decency would suggest that no bondsman of MT. Cook remain on the grand jury dur ing the examination of the Cook case that Mr. Walker did not retirel Again our contemporary effects not to believe that Henry Sides has held for five or six years, duplicate tax receipt, for taxes paid twice for the same year. As his postoffice address has been given and we here repeat it IS Payson, Arizona, hescan be written to and the truth of this verified.
 The New York Herald, one of the most rabid and bitter paitisan supporters of Cleveland, very frankly admits that
 "unless some extraordinary change occurs between now and November 6, Harrison will go down to High Bridge with something like 10000 plurality, and if New York can overcome that Cleve- land IS all right Ii not he will have to pack up and come back to Buffalo. The republicans are making a fierce, in telligent and so far successful fight. It was mistake for Cleveland to raise the tariff issue. The surface argument IS all in favor of the republicans, and that IS the argument that catches the coun- trYmen."
 A naturallzed Britlsher, of Southern California, wrote recently to Lord West, British minister at Washington, asking advice as to what candidate he should vote for ii the interests of his parent country Lord West replied at length giving reasons why he should support Grover as the friend of Great Britain. The affair has created a gen. tune sensation in both Washington and London, and may result in Minister Vests retirement The intimation that the letter may have been a forgery IS best denied by West himself who acknowledged the genuineness of ii, while the editor of the JOS Angeles Times has the original letter in the British minister's own handwriting
 The affidavits published in our issue of Thursday caused considerable com ment When the law provides very clearly just how a mans name may be placed on the great register, It IS an inn possibility for a name to get there ille- gally if the recorder or the registration officer does his duty except through perjury of the man himself. Here, how ever, we find the names of three men on the register who had not been in the county thirty days, two of whom swear theirs was put on without their knowledge or consent. That there has been something radically wrong in the recorders office where these names were registered IS very evident, and this illegal registra- ton calls for an explanation from Recorder Horne as well as an inves- tigation by grand jury.

the action of the king. It is learned to night that Queen Natalie's advocates, finding that metropolitan Theodosios has already consulted with the patriarch
 at Constantinople and great Archbishop of Carlovitz before dissolving the mar risge, has submitted the decree and will go to Bucharest to deliver the divorce papers to Queen Natalie. It is stated that divorce stops the allowances to Natalie. The ex-queen has, however, an ample private fortune.
