A Plain, sound Talk.

To THE VOTERS OF CocHIsE Coz The Democratic County Convention held a. Tombstone the 9th inst saw fit to bestow upon me, by exclamation, and unsolicited, the honor of the nom- ination for the Territorial Council. As it will be impossible for me to meet personally many of the voters of the county, l shall endeayor by the means of this card to state as concisely AS I can, for the benefit of those l do not see, what I conceive to be the most important measures that should ad- vocate in the behalf Of the people of our county, irrespective of party, Tn the event that am elected AS their representative in the council.
 u) I regard AS the first need Of the county the enactment of meas ure by the next legislature of the ter ritorv which will abolish in the future the necessity of our citizens being re- quired to go to Tucson, at great ex- pense to themselves. to serve from time to time as witnesses and jurors in the United States district court. This is not right, and should be resist ed as a great wrong, and as needless and unbearable injustice to the people of Cochise county. The Revised Stat utes of the United States provide for the creation of the judicial districts and the assignment of the judges by the legislature, and it is my belief that the convenience of the public and the economy of the government demand the establishment of the U. s. court at Tombstone, which l pledge myself by all honorable means to bring about
 CD am opposed to county divis ion under present conditions, anc shall oppose any measure to that end
 (3.) am in favor of every possible retrenchment in territorial, as well ai in county affairs, and pledge myself to favor measure repeating the act which created territoria board of equalization. l believe thu duties required of this board should b' transferred by law to the board o supervisors of the various counties o the territory.
 While l deem it now only necessar, to state my endorsement of the fore going measures as probably the mos prominent issues at present befor' our people, further pledge myself t' jealously guard every interest of th' county if elected to the legislature and to do all l can for the common good of the territory.
 Respectfully,
 c. N. BRUCE.
