THE republicans know what they have to face in Pima county. They know the men; they know the platform; they know the tactics which they will have to fight against. The men are geod, the platform peculiarly vulnerable, and the tactics-wsn the less said about them the better. The main point which gives the democracy courage to stand up to assessments is the hope of dissensions in the republican ranks. In this they gre counting without their host. They are putting up dummies of himsy style to batter down. The republican party has, as most all other parties wherein cliques and bosses dc not rule, had diff fences. They have been honest va riances of thought. These differences were submitted at the primary polls and they exist no longer. From now until the 18th day of November, when every vote is cast and honestly counted, the
 Old Guard will be on hand, solidly,
 shoulder to shoulder, making an in
 Vincible phalanx of voters. As the dem
 ocratic party lays the most stress upon this point, the greatest care should be taken to have it guarded. Let the republican camp be a model of har- mony, and energy. Such a spirit sill imbue all around it with fighting zeal. It will kindle fire ID the platonic breast of those independent voters who
 exercise more or less influence at all
 times. The republican voters, wrapped
 securely in their own virtue cannot be led
 sstrsy by any brass band attachments.

THE United Typotheta of America, among other resolutions, adopted, one declaiming against manufacturers who furnish irresponsible parties with print ing outfits to be paid for by so much percentage per month. Arizona should have a newspaper organization which would assist in this thing; in maintaining the prices of legal and foreign advertising; the general reputa tion of the profession, and in getting bet ter acquainted. All trades and profes sions are benefited by unions, why not the publishers?

THE following clipping from the He brew Journal will settle point in many minds as to the distinction between He brew, Israelite and Jew;
 s'Our broad national distinction gave us the name of Israelite in the time of our ancient greatness, a greatness to whice all people may at some time m the long future rise, and then we may again together with all God-fearing people adopt the name of Israelite. Before our ancestors were-in a national sense -Israelties they were Hebrews-a name which was and is today, a distinc- tion. The word Jew is a narrow name in use for separate religious distinction Nothing could be splainer to us. He brew refers to the race. lsraellte re fers to the nation, Jew to the religion

THK republicans who attend the terri torial convention have one thing to keep in their minds eye. It has been repeated often, but the truth never grows stale, except to 8 democrat. Economy, reduction of taxation, abolish nent of those offices which are orna- mental rather than useful. These are blanks which platform before the pso- pie of the territory this fall must con- tain. The record of the democratic party on Mormonism, silver and irrigation laws is enough to defeat any organiza- tion. But nevertheless nothing must be left undone. The republican party is composed of the mass, and they look to that party for relief and reform. It has not failed them in the past and there is no reason to believei it will in the future It is because the Republican party has been ever in the van, in times when lib critics were perilsd that it is looked uI to with such confidence and faith.

THE democratic ratification last night was "trooly galorious." Some excellent speeches were made filled with soft soap for the lukewarm; putty and sticking plaster for defeated candidates; and red hot grape and canister for the corrupt republican party. Hon. Charles M. Strauss committed the grevious mistake of quoting bible to a democratic audience. Judge Barnes. too made an excellent speech, but it was full of old gun-wads about republican idiocy, in compentence, ct al. The judge made the most remarkable statement that democracy had favored free coinage of silver since 1873. The fact has never got noised abroad, if they have. MT. Frank Hereford referred to the inexpe- rience of the republicans and the won- derful ability of the democrats. This argument goes for what it is worth-a picayune. Judge Satterwhite made a good speech. "pointing with pride" to the record of the party. We are glad the judge can feel pride about it. If the record were ours, however, We should prefer to have it locked up in a tin box and spoken off, affectionately, but seldom. We did not hear the re- mainiHg speeches but We presume the speakers did as their compadras, dealt in glitterlng generalities, and made their powder go as far as it would, considering the quality.

LEWIS WoLFLEY, private, according to information published elsewhere to- night. We trust the dispatches are authentic, and thero Is no reason to doubt them. The CITIZEN does not de- sire to enter into an arraignment of MT Woltley's administration now and here It is sufficient to say that the republican party IS relieved of a political incubus and that a change in the territorial ad ministration leaves no question as to { Repu biican victory this fall.

THEfollowing excerpts from an editorial from the San Francisco Chronicle is so pertinent to the all absorbing question of silver that we reproduce such extracts as will be of local interest.
 The Director of the Mint made his report upon the production of the pre- cious metals in the United States for 1889, and with this has oeen received the report of David T.1Day, of the Geo logical Survey, upon the quicksilver pro- duct of the United States for the year 1889. In view of the interest which has arisen in the silver question, some of the figures relative to the product of gold and silver and of the metals employed in mining, quicksilver, will be of interest. During the year 1886 the domestic product of gold was l, ,587 900 fine ounces, of the value of s32, ,S00,0O0 and the pro- duct of silver 100000 fine ounces, of the commercial value at the average price of silyer-931a cents per ounce of S56, 100000, and of the coining value in silver dollars of 64,646,4 ,464. As to quicksilver there were produced 5,464 flasks, or 2,024,4 ,496 lbs. in California and about twenty hasks in Oregon, this be- ing the only state which produces quicksilver in any large quantities.
 The gold and silver product was more widely distributed, there being twenty three states and territories credited with an output one or the other or both the precious metals. AS usual California leads the list as a gold producing country, with 62S,S74 fine ounces valued at S13,OO0,OOO. Next comes Colorado and Montana, bracketed, each with 169, 312 ounces, valued at S3,500,OO0, and then Nevada with 135, ,125 ounces and Dakota with 140,2S7 ounces. No other state or territory reached the 100, 900 ounce mark.
 In the production of silver Colorado leads with 100000 ounces, but Mon tana is a good second with 15, ,OO0,O00iU tah comes next with 100000 with ounces, then Nevada with 4,S00,OO0, then Idaho with 3, 100000.
 Alaska last year [ produced 43,43l ounces of gold, valued at S900,O00; and SCOO ounces of silver, valued at S10,343. Alabama, Maryland, Tennessee. Virginia, Vermont and Wyoming are grouped to- gether, thelr aggregate production be- ing 1909 ounces of gold and 1000 ounces of silver.

EVENING SESSION.
 The session last evening was well at- tended, and true Democratic Harmony prevailed. MT. Harrison of La Noria moved the convention that MT. Strauss of Tucson be made chairman of the Gen. | tral ;Committee. A heated discussion followed as to whether the convention had any right to elect officers of the Central Committee-in short lone body could not elect officers for another" !" Much Democratic sloquence flowed. After half an hours discussion, the Sec retary announced that MT. Strauss was not a member of the Central Committee, and was therefore ineligible.
 THIS MORNINGS SESSION.
 The Central committee met at g this morning and elected F. Proctor, chair
 man and c F Hoff, secretary. Nothing of importance was done, and the com
 mittes adjourned in 15 minutes.

THE person or persons who considers Arizona desert should investigate. In the year of our Lord 1889, over IS inches of rain fell, and 12 inches will insure a crop without irrigation. Farms mature in the great Salt River Valley and other valleys, some weeks before they do in California-the boasted home of fruits. About Phenix the finest crops of grain that ever laid in swath can be seen at all times during the proper seasons. What Arizona can do is proven by what she has done and IS doing. There is not more fertile soil in any portion of the United States today, and we make not a single exception, than the rich river bottoms and mesas of this remarkable territory. Held back fer years by false reports concerning dangers from Indian outbreaks, Ari- zona is spreparing to bound into the arena, and challenge the world for soil, climate, healthfulness, resources, and the influx of people, for comforts of liv- ing.
