 ALBERT BREWER the Peoples candi- date for legislature, is one of the bright est men in the county and knows all the needs of Graham county. He makes friends wherever he goes and only the most partisan misrepresentation can de- feat him. A better man was never nom- mated on any ticket in Graham coun- ty.
 BOYLE and Bennett, the Democratic nominees for Supervisors, are prominent only in the delinquent tax list of Ora ham county. Here is the way tho Bull letin puts them before the people in s recent issue:

 Ar no time in the history of Graham county has the need for men thoroughly competent for position been so great. The county cannot at present af- ford to experiment. with new and untri- ed men. As the days go by Arthur Wright's popularity increases. The more the people see of him tte better they like him. Mir. Wright is a man of honorable ambition and will make 8 rec ord as sheriff of which he and his friends will be proud. Democrats who never scratched ticket in thelr lives before. openly announce their intention of supporting MT. Wright for sheriff. The facts are conceded that he will car ry the Democratic stroAgholds.
 Two years ago Geo. H. Kelly, the pres ent Democratic boss. supported the peo- ples ticket. Will MT. Kelly tell the peo- pie of Graham county in what particu- lars the Democratic ticket in 1892 is su- perior to the Dem ocratic ticket of 1890. Was not the ticket in 1890 nominated fairly in a convention representing all parts of the county? And was not the ticket in 1892 nominated by delegates who did not represent six precincts of the county, the delegates from which precincts withdrew in consequence of fraud and trickery. The Democratic convention of 1892 was harmonious, and it's actions was satisfactory to every person except Geo. H. Kelly, who had not bossed the job, Kelly, however, 1 was elected chairman of the Democratic Central Committee for the campaign of 1S9O He accepted the position and used all of his powers to defeat the ticket. He placed himself under etern- al obligations to persons who would vote against men whom he is now support ing. Will Mir. Kelly please tell the pso- pie of Graham county what has caused hls change of heart.
 THERE is a persistent effort on the part of the so called Democrats to ob- scure and mystify the issues in the pres sent campaign. Certain men who are aspiring to senatorial honors in case Arizona should be admitted as State, are making every effort to elect Demo cratic legislature. The legislative ticket is notoriously and contessedly weak, and tLe people of Graham county who are grooming under excessive taxation and desire the passage of laws to smeliorate their condition have, in view of the weakness of the Democratic ticket, made no secret of their intention to support the Peoples legislative ticket. To de- feat this the ring bosses of the Graham county Democracy resort to all kinds of misrepresentation, and this is done, too, by men whose position should place them above such artif1ces. MT. Norris deliberately stated the other night in 8 speech at Stafford, that the Thirteenth Legislature which passed the test oath was Republican legislature and there fore it would be unsafe to elect man of Republican proclivities to the legis- lature, The journal of the Thirteenth Legislature shows that the council con- tained eight Republicans and four Dem ocrats and the house contained twelve Republicans and twelve Democrats. On the final vote every member of the council both Democrats and R5pub- ticans except Bailey who afterwards changed his vote for the bill, and in the house ten Republicans voted for the measure and seven Democrats. It was not in any sense a party measure and was not so regarded. There are two gentlemen of Republican proclIvities on the Peoples ticket and the fslsehood was intended to defeat them. MT. Norris falsehood was promptly exposed and the Mormon people are so indignant that any man should so undsrrste their intelligence as to attempt to palm of upon them pslpsbls lies. They see the 1purpose and despiss the means, and their rebuke to such political char latans and mountbanks will be terrible. The Democratic managers in Graham county are acting on the supposition that the Mornons are fools. The Sth of
