THE Democratic party, not only of Apache county, but of the Ter ritory Is pledged to a reduction of taxation. That they may carry out this pledge, it is absolutely neces- sary that their legislative ticket be elected, and that they have suffi- cient majority to override any veto of the Governor. Our taxpayers should remember this on the 4th of November, and cast their ballots ac- cordingly. In order to reduce tax ation it is just as essential that our legislative ticket should be elected, as that the county officers should. Our officials have cut down the ex- penses of the county almost as much as it will bear, to insure good government The only way to still further reduce taxation now, is to reduce the cost of running the Ter ritorial government, which costs each county almost as much as it does to run it's local government. The only means of doing this ef- fectually and certainly, is to abol- ish all the useless offices in the Ter ritory, such as Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruc- tiOn, Territorial Geologist, and the Territorial Board of Equalization. All these positions are entirely un- necessary, but cost the taxpayers of the Territory considerable money without giving any benefit in return. To enable the Democratic party to carry out the pledges made in their platform, the people must see that they have two-thirds majority in the next legislature. If the people of the Territory are sincere in their demands for retrenchment, they will vote the Democratic ticket.

THE taxpayer. when he goes to the polls on the 4th of November, before casting his ballot, should re- member that under the administra- tion of affairs in Apache county by Democratic officials, that county warrants have appreciated in value from 50 to 95 per cent.
 They should also remember that, in the meantime, taxation has been reduced.
 They should bear in mind, that this same party has promised still further reduction in the rate of tax ation, if they are kept in power for the next two years.
 They should bear in mind that the party promised these things when they were first installed in power, that they have made good their promises, and that it is req sonable conclusion, judging the fu- ture by the past, that they will make good their further promises.
 They should remember that when the county government passed into the hands of the Democratic party that lawlessness was rampant; that the criminal element virtually con- trolled affairs that neither life nor property was safe; that the county was being robbed to an extent that would soon have produced bank ruptcy, through the bosses who con- trolled the politics of the county.
 They should remember that it was Democratic officials who brought these men before the tri- bunals of justice-sent some to the penltentlary and made 1t so uncOm- fortable for others that they fled the county and have never returned. nor will they dare return so long as that party has control of the coun- ty government.
 Before depositing their votes in the ballot-box they should ask them selves in all seriousness and candor, whether 1t Is wise to make change at this time; whether it is wise to turn out a party which has done 80 much for the county, and entrust the management Of it's affairs to new and untried hands.

THE Republicans Ill various DOT tions of the county are proposing to trade any or all their other can didates for Supervisors. There is no necessity for any Democrat to trade off a single man on the tick ct, in order to insure his election. All that is necessary to elect the ticket from top to bottom, is for every Democrat in the county to go to the polls on the day of election and vote the ticket straight-with- out scratch. Let them do this, and trading and swapping will be unnecessary. It is always the weak CT party, who resort to such tactics. No good Democrat will trade a man on his ticket. It is not Democracy to do so. Vote the ticket-frOm top to bottom-is Democratic doctrine.

Loan Commissioners,


 Acting presumably in good faith,
 the loan commissioners, designated
 i'll the Funding Act of Arizona to
 be composed of Governor, Secre-
 tary and Auditor, have authorized
 the Treasurer to advertise for bids
 upon one million dollars in terri.
 torial bonds, which bids will be
 opened upon Wednesday, Decem-
 Der 10th. The money resulting
 from such sale is to be applied to
 the funding of the county indebted
 ness of such counties as choose to
 avail themselves of the provisions
 of the act. Unfortunately for these
 loan commissioners, they have been
 somewhat premature in their off cial action and their lobors up to
 the present time are nugatory and
 void. The act of Congress approved January 25th, 1890, expressly states
 that 1t is subject to future territor- ial legislation" and therefore until 1t is sanctioned by the legislative Assembly of Arizona it is not a law.
 It is barely possible that future territorial legislation" may develop a decided hostility to that measure and the manner in which It opens the doors of the territorial treasury to discretionary lootings. It is pos sible that some of the counties whose financial management re- moves them from the necessity of averting bankruptcy at the expense of the general public, may not dis play that practical charity towards their less frugal nieghbors so high ly commended in holy writ, and re- fuse to endorse this wholesale pledge of their faith and credit and pay for the privilege of doing so. They may not partake of that liber- ality expressed in the somewhat vague authority given the loan commissioners to parcel out fat sums to favorites under the appro- priation clause by which Congress 80 kindly presumed to take liberties with ths general fund of our terri tory. They may not care to incur the risk of default Tn special in- terest tax to be levied, by some overburdened counties, or the re- pudiation of thier proportion of the debt. which might entail further and unlimited expenses of.enforced collection. Should only three or four counties desire to avail them selves of the provisions of the act, of the law is not fore gone conclusion. and in any event the expenses already incurred in anticipation of favorable legislative actio n, are unauthorized by any law and should not be made pub lie charge. The defects observable
 in the immature measure need not be discussed at this time. By dis erect amendment it may become 8 beneficial measure even though it IS objectionable in principle.-Flor- enee Enterprise.

Our Candidates.

The gentlemen nominated at the late Democratic convention are so we'll and favorably known through out the county, that we hardly deem it necessary to refer to their history. The convention showed much wis dom in selecting for the offices some of our most solid and substantial citizens, representing the various interests of the county.
 On the legislative ticket we have Hon. E. J. Simpson, who is a rep resentative cattle man. NIT. Hart a representative of the wool growing industry, and Mir. Lesueur the mer- cantile and agricultural interests.
 With these men representing us in the Legislature next winter, the citizens of our county need have no fear of any laws being enacted that will be injurious to any of our in dustries.
 The balance of the ticket is made up of men of high standing, who are well qualified for the various offices.
 It might be of interest to some of our readers for us to give brief sketch of the candidates who will be voted for in November, by the Democratic and independent voters.
 The Democratic candidate for the council,
 E. J. SIMPSON,
 of Holbrook, is the general mana ger of the Aztec Land and Cattle Company. and also a heavy stock holder in that corporation. He came to the county five or six years ago. and his upright and honorable conduct since he came among us, has won for him the esteem and confidence of all our citizens. Mir, Simpson represented this county intelligently and with marked abiI- ity in our last legislature, and the experlence he gained then will en- able him to be eyen more useful next winter.
 FRANK HART,
 of Winslow, one of our candidates for the Assembly, is an old resident nf this county, and consequently knows what legislation is necessary for the benefit and protection of our people. He has never sought office. The people, as represented in convention. called him out and placed him on the ticket, as one of the solid men of the county and in recognition of his sterling qualities as 8 man and Democrat, to repre- sent them in the sixteenth legisla- tive assembly, and be should re.

IT would be well for those who are hunting up past records. to take a retrospective view of their own conduct. There are some on the opposition ticket, whose records, if exposed to the broad sunlight, would place them in an unenviable light. The HERALD deprecates bringing personalities into q politi- cal campaign. but if forced to resort to such a course in defense of oth- CTS, will do so with ungloved hands, let it hurt whom 1t may.

of citizenship for EVERY citizen oi Arizona What do the Chairman and secretary of the Committee mean, I would like to know. Do they propose to ask that the Nor mons shall have equal rights with the rest of us, and thus uphold them in their law-breaking and licenti- ousness. 1 tell you the Republican party cannot endorse that call. It is monstrous. If they want to find out what the Mormons are let them come here and live among them as I and few other have done. I am a Republican and have been all my life, but if that last paragraph of the call is an indication of the sen tlment of Republicans of this Ter ritory, then 1 am a Republican no longer"
 And to make the thing still more clear, we will quote from another leading Republican of this county ; in speaking of the closing paragraph in the call for Territorial Republi- can convention:
 'That is the most damnable thing 1 eyer saw in call said a lifelong Republican and an ex-member of the Territorial Legislature. What right had the Chairman and Secre- tary to add such a paragraph to the call anyhow, I would like to know. Their duty is simply to call the convention. Any platform or outline of policy for the party to go before the people on, rests with the convention. Such assumption of authority is outrageous and 1 tell you they will hear from it."
 If the above is not enough to convince the most incredulous of their aims and intentions, we will refer them to the governors an nual report, in which they will find the following;
 It is recommended that the pro- visions of what is know as the Idaho Test Oath" be made appll- cable i'll Arizona.
 And to clinch the matter We will give the closing paragraph of the call for Republican, convention ill this county:
 "The cooperation is most heart fly solicited of all loyal American citizens, irrespective of party affil- iation, who favor an honest and economical administration of our county affairs, and who are opposed to the further continuance in pow CT of the Mormons."
 Could anything be made plainer than that the Republicans of this county are running practically an anti-Mormon ticket, and that they are seeking to array against them all other sects, creeds and classes. They base their hope of success on the prejudice which they imagine exists in the minds of all non-Mor- mons against that sect. They are seeking to introduce into the poli- cs of the county a sectarian fight; to array neighbor against neighbor; to toment neighborhood broils and to introduce strife and contention even in families.

Supposed to be Dead He Comes to Life


The organist of st. Luke's cathedral (Episco-
paD at Atlanta has been known until now as
Prof. Walter H. Russell. He is really Carl
Summers, who disappeared from Manchester,
Va, five years ago under peculiar circum-
stances. He was the organist of a church in
Manchester and married Miss Dorning one
OF the choir. Soon after they went to a picnic
and while there became separated. The pro-
fessor's clothing was found on the sea beach
SO it was thought he had been drowned. Soon
afterward his wife was told that he had been
seen alive ana she was advised to get a
divorce. which she did. Some time ago a gen.
tleman living in Manchester was in Atlanta
and seeing Russell on the street identified him
as Summers and told the story of his Manches-
ter escapade. The matter was quietly investi-
gated and the board of curators decided to
discharge Russell. He denied his identity to
the last, but as he was about to leave called a
friend aside and said the story was true He
said he was jealous of his wife and tried to
create the impression that he had COMMITTEES
suicide. He said he was going TO Louisiana or
Texas and there start again under still another
name.
