along in the same Peoples party boat

along in the same Peoples party boat fwhose candidates you are vilely aud | dishonesty attsckingl Was it for money | or for what that you were Peoples party man? Why were you padding | with more than human efforts 10 carry | the Peoples ticket? For what purpose? Were your motives unselfish? Were your so called Democratic ideas yet asleep or did your selfish nature for money and power crush out every Dem ocratic principle out of your unreliable heart? And If you are not satisfied with this fact, can give you and the people of Graham county few inside tracks of your politics, and show why you are a politician and for no other purpose but your own selishness and your own pocket-book. You seem to attack Mir. Fitzgerald more than the balance of the unsatisied Democrats Why not attack the leaders of the Mexican population who are more against your ambiguous designs than anybody else? You must be afraid of Mir. Fitzgerald's influence; or, is it your unreliable political ways that warn you against any honest and upright Democrat? There IS no man who can boast of a clearer Democratic record in Graham county than the so much slandered MT. Fitzgerald. It may be the presto change of 1890.
 And your eager desire fer his good will show that you are afraid of him and every other honest Democrat. Why will you have him go and bs removed from your ticket, to rid out few candidates and put others in their places; for what purpose? For no other reason than this: You, in your heart, know that your ticket conceived in sin and brought forth in inlquity cannot stasd the argus eye of the honest Democratic voters in Graham county at the next election.
 You the champion of doubtful nature of the Democratic party seem. to attack the candidates of the Peoples party and specially the Democratic faction. Let me again remind you of your doubtful political heart; it is true, your own sell fishness makes you change your polit- ical exterior according to the change in the political horizon, but it behooves people that live in glass house not to throw any stones at hls neighbors. Now, Mir. Editor, let us see how the candi- dates of tee Peoples party compare with your candidates:
 You state that MT. Kolb writes of himself or puts up money to have 1t written for him. His legal attainments are of high order. venture to say that his legal talents are of the same high order as those of his opponent. You further state that Mir. Kolb was a candidate before the Democratic con- vention. He undoubtedly was candi- date for the district-attorneyship, but seeing that to have the nomination he had to sell his body and soul to you and to swear the full-oath: "I do sol emnly swear that whatever money, brain power, or political influence I possess or in future shall acquire, shall be sub ject to the unimpeachable decision of my supreme ruler and benefactor the chairman of the Democratic party, the arch-mugwump of 1S9O-Mr. Kelley presto-change."
 Let me remind the voters of Graham county that Mir. Kolb if elected he will not put the county to the expense of several hundred dollars every term of court to have MT. Barnes of Tucson to come here and prosecute our criminals as report says Mir. Jones is pledged to do, if elected.
 The second candidate you try to in- iure in your editorial is Mr.. Hyram Weeeh, candidate for supervisor. You wish to impress upon the voters of Gra- ham county, that through the special effort of MT. Weech, the county indebt- edness has greatly increased Would you be willing so as to publish a correct statement of the county finances during ths time that you had your fingers in the county pie, and how much you have helped to increase the county debt, while you in return gave the county ab- solutely nothing, or nothing that was necessary for the honest administration of county affairs, and also if there has been any reform in regard to expendi- lures for printing.
 Next in'llne of your assault comes Mr. Al. Brewer, the Peoples candidate for legislature. The only reason the editor has for not supporting Mir. Brewer, is that Mir. Brewer is a gentleman and pays no taxes. We know Mr' Brewer to be gentleman who is highly educated, an honest and upright man and besides not having required a. large fortune always works for his living and pays hls debts and that he is very we'll fitted to represent our people in thes Booming leg islature,
 Against the Peoples candidate for Probate Judge the Hon. John Blake the editor seems to be still more agres- sive, John Blake has occupied the po- sition as probate judge in Graham county for the last four yeaIs. lie has fullflled his official duties with the greatest honesty and integrity. In re- gard to his ability the editor himself, I think has not enly no doubt, but knows very we'll that the People candl> date is not only highly fitted for the position but also that his opponent Mir.
