The Clifton clarion., 1889-06-05
yaughn's Letter.

l QO not understand the OlauQer- There is too much subtle casuistry iu it's arguments for one raised on the frontier. It needs men of keener thoughts than possessed by myself to sec behind that smiling mask of craft, with it's love of pelf and place and power, which has been bought with the usury of self-respect. That surging ; flood of sarcasm and wit is too much for little Nephi. Iu my notes to HE CLARION l must have told the truth about he who "bends towards knec to hoarded gold" and that was the reason it stung so. In my few plain remarks have trod on the tender toes of the twin monopolists and reused their ire snd power? Those thinly yelled reform bosses are certainly a queer pair of Johns crying ill the will derness to prophecy and usher in the new dispensation of justice and pave l'the way for Dysart's ambition. l If mistake not there is in Pima some one who will make it mighty interesting for these political pirates. It is said that the hour brings the man; so when that COW boy was advised to be arrested right there went hole ill their rotten political hulk that all the sophistry, the soft soa., and all the Bladder stock that the reform gang have got will never patch, and the one for whom the blow was struck will sign their passes to those saline re- gions of political cadavers, from which he will see that they get no return tickets.
 I was down ill King Solomon's
 domains Saturday, and things seemed
 rather dull, especially in the Court
 House. Fred Newell had gone to Tucson, subpenaed as witness be-
 fore the United States Court, and wheti
 he is gone there is no one who can
 take his place. It makes no difference
 how much trouble you give he has the
 patience of Job. Fred is one of nat ure's noblemen is the soul of honor
 and democrat.
 Solomonvilie school closed May 24th, and Miss Mary Fitzgerald left
 for Tucson to spend the vacation. : Mrs. Louisa Bolan also closed the Saft
 Jose school after very successful
 term.
 Will Smith, formerly Deputy Unite I
 States Marshal, but now special de-
 tective for the Southern Pacific raIl road, stationed at Los Angeles, psssed
 through en route to Clifton. He came.
 by way of Tidwell's ranch and learned
 tbat Cyclone Bill passed the day there the paymaster was robbed. Evident :, ly Bill, unless possessed of peculiar publications, could not have been at
 the robbery.
 , County Surveyor Brown is plating :. the townsite of Solomonville, upon
 which improvements are being stead-
 ily made. The village blacksmith is steadily pursuing the even tenor of , his way. Mir. Bessner says that cash
 is very scarce, but that he has accom-
 modated the farmers all that lay ill
 his power. He is improving his prop
 erty at rapid rate, and in short
 time his residence will be a veritabls
 Batfen'S bower.

 f I am pleased to see that the Bladder '. has noticed the cowardly attack made o on myself some t'me ago at the Gila
 Hotel by an official of the Reform
