The Gazette il muchly mistaken IN its
allusion to the MINER as "Foster Dennis
paper" This paper is in no wise ruled
nor dictated to by Mr.. Dennis. Our crit.
icism Of Mark Smith was called forth by
that gentleman's attitude on silver in the
house and was simply the only thing the
gentleman could expect from a section
where the peoples every interest is tied
up in their silver mines. Mr.. Dennis il
an ardent aemirer Of Mark Smith, con.
trsry TO the impression sought to be con.
veyed by the papers Of the southern
counties. But the fact remains, never.

bv his action on the Arizona funding bill
The Democracy Of the MINER is Of Il
much higher and purer quality than tina,
Of the Gazette. II does not damn it's
party leaders with faint praise, but crit
icises their acts should they turn aside
from the path of duty. Mark Smith has
gone astray and we consi idsr it our PLAIN
duty to point out the fact to the great
party that placed him in his present hon
orable position. We do not doubt hrs
ability, but do doubt his sincerity on the
question Of free silver. A four column
speech will not rectify his mistake in
voting as he did on the funding bill.

zona will become a void In this great
