To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN:

To the Editor of THE RErUBLcAN:
 It seems that the Democrats are lay ing their wires and fixing for a great future. In this little county of Mohave there seems to be determination to control. A start was recently made to purchase and establish an organ. After several breaks they finally purchased the Mohave County Miner, which had been up to this time neutral paper. Anson Smith and w. G. Carlton are to handle the paper. It is rumored that several tmugwump) Republicans have gone over to the Democratic party and put up to assist the organ or help run the mill to grind out Democracy.
 There has been hint going the rounds of the press that the Democrats would retaliate or run things Democrat towards during the coming Legislature. Rumor has it to the effect that when the Legislature meets a cry will be gotten up for reform. Petitions will be sent in from Democratic headquarters and law will be passed early in the session abolishing the offices of Attorney General, Superintendent of Public h. struction, Commissioners of Immigra- ton, Geologist, Live Stock Sanitary Commissioners and other offices. If the Governor vetoes these acts they will be passed over the veto. "We Democrats mean business and reform, you know" Of course there will be kick, but to show that they are not 80 little and mean as the Republicans are they will again en- act these laws Co take effect on Febru- ary 1, 1893. Then the Democrats ex- pect to have President and Meyer Zulick again be appointed Governor of Arizona, and his friends, oi course, be rewarded accordingly.
 Marcus Aurelius, as he spoke his piece during the fall campaign, prophe- sled that the Republican party was on it's last pegs and would soon peg out and be party of the past and Democracy would reign supreme. Marcus prophe- sled in Phoenix that he would be elected by a larger majority than ever, but in this he did not guess right.
 Should the Sixteenth Legislature abolish the office of Attorney General, Little Steve and other defaulters may go unpunishe,d. Of course, they want an Attorney General in 1898. in order to prosecute and prosecute the Republicans as they let go and out of office.
 During the session of the Fifteenth Legislature an effort was made to suppress all facts and crimes of the Democrats. When the Ways and Means Committee tried to get resolution through to in- vestigate, the Democrats would get up and protest. They would not allow the reports of the auditor or treasurer to be read. Tn Arizona, as it is throughout the United States, they may be com pared to the Goddess of Justice with the justice left out they go it blind and pre- fer to do 80. The Democrats like to charge the Republics rs of wrong doing, but they never convict them. But don't they do a lot of kicking and growl- ing. That old fossil of the Courier curses all mankind that leans toward Republi- can principles why don't he curse God and bite himself and die? If he was a competent Democrat he would be able to lie his party out of bad jobs and thieving tricks but he eases the wrath by cursing and kicking the Republicans. He has not the ability to tell a cunning lie but admits all charges by calling parties names that dare to accuse the great Democratic party or their leaders of stealing.
 The ten acts, that have been brought to light, that were not signed by the Governor were, some of them at least, slightly altered since they left the Coun- cil. There were alterations made with some of the acts that were passed by the Fifteenth Legislature. The law making the Sheriffs of second and third class counties, collectors, and it's taking effect January 1, 1891, instead of on and after its passage, was work behind the screen. A few years since law was passed providing for the issuing of bonds for building court house in Phenix. I was told by responsible party that clerk was bribed, and he changed date, so as to make the law a nulity, and the matter had to go over to the next session.
 In the Fifteenth Legislature two acts were changed or patched up to suit cer- tain parties. The resolution that was afterward vetoed by Governor Zulick was so altered between both houses and the Governor that it amounted to noth- ing. The president of the Council noticed the fraud in time. When new resolution was drawn up and passed it was vetoed.
 can point out several changes in acts that were made after they left the Legis- lature. The act making the Governor Librarian am told was made to suit Governor Zulick. In the Fifteenth Legislature move was made to have the laws that were passed to take effect on and after their passage, to be printed at once in an official paper, so that mem- bers could see their work before the Legislature adjourned, but as usual with the party that prefers to go it blind, they opposed it, and it went by. Won't or will the Sixteenth go it blind? We will wait and see. H.
