ORGANIZE THE PARTY.

ORGANIZE THE PARTY.
 There is no denying the fact that the Republican party in Arizona needs or ganizing. There are too many factions and too many cliques for the good of the party-too much jealousy, too many plotters and too many midnight eau cuses for Republican success.
 The party in Arizona has been sadly neglected by both the National and terri torial committees, and with neither head nor tail, it is going to the dogs as fast as it can, to the infinite delight of the enemy, the Democrats.
 It is to be regretted that party rep resenting the grand principles of Repub- licanism should thus be left to shift for itself in what is destined to be one of the most important commonwealths in the Union, and all because of the machi. nations of mslcoutents, disreputabe schemers and disorganizers.
 The dilemma ought to have been taken by the horns long ago, and the
 
 cratic wolves in Republican sheep's clothing should have been fired from the ranks of the party bodily.
 Before the Republican party can hope for success in Arizona there must be a political house clean ing, and a general shaking up. Certain alleged Republicans, now clothed with brief power, must either act with the Republicans of the terri tory or get out of the Republican ranks, and surrender to others the insignia of authority which they now dishonor.
 This paper believes in calling spade a spade, and it has no use for that kind of a Republican whose pleasure is in downing some other Republican, and whose chief occupation consists in posing as boss, or in presiding at a midnight caucus, called not for the pur- pose of defeating the common enemy, but rather for the purpose of matching schemes and devising plans to injure some reputable Republican, who is too respectable to lend his aid to the mar plots, or attend their meetings.
 Is is the recognition by the National committee of these kind of Republicans that has made Arizona Democratic and if continued will soon hand it over hope lessly to that party. The Republican party must be organized, differ ences healed and concessions made, but the work must be undertaken by reputable and popular member of the party and not by schemer who is distrusted and despised by even those who claim to be his friends.
 Itis perhaps not too late to redeem Arizona from Democratic misrule, but heroic work is necessary, and when the National committee meets next month it will have no more important question to consider than the organization of the Republican party in this territory. The best and wisest men of the com mittee should give the matter their gravest consideration and not refer it to irresponsible persons whose personal ambition and personal grievances are of more importance to them than the suc- cess of Republicanism.
 One of two things must be done either the National committee must undertake to organize the party in the territory in an intelligent manner, or the question of organization must be ha Ha1 hn al tee and the National committee take it. hands off.
 The party must be organized, but it can never be accomplished as now contemplated by the National commit tee, and if that committee insists upon the present arrangement it will not only result in the utter demoralization and disruption of the Republican party, but even the last vestige of Republican ism will be swept from Arizona. The true and time-tried Republicans of the territory are not ready to place anyone's collar around their necks, much less that of a trickster and schemer who could not be elected to any office by the people and who is denounced by all of his former political associates in the east as disreputable and unreliable his only object being to serve his own selfish purposes.
 The Republican party of Arizona must and will be reorganized and it's banner carried to victory, but it can only be accomplished under new deal and with safe Republicans at the helm.
