WILLIAM c. DAVIS.

Eve ry body in Pima county knows Wm. C. Davis and what they know of him is good. As jourpeyman, merchant, stockman, mining man or capitalliss he was always the same good natured open handed, progressive citizen. We have known Mir. Davis for nearly twenty years and never knew aught of him that was not commendable, and it afford us sincere pleasure to announce that he has consented to head the county republ chn ticket fer the legislative council. No man can command better or stronger support, nor can the county with its large and varied interests find more capable OF more energetic supporter. No man has striven to develop the mineral resources of Pima county or has invested more money in such l8udable undertakings than Mir. DavIs. At present hs is conducting large mining interests in the Harqua Hala country. He is likewise heavily interested in good old Pima where his home has been since the sixties" He is safe man and with such representa- tion at the head of our legislative delegation Pima county will command the respect to which she Is entitled.

ROBERT H, PAUL

Ever since MT. Paul came to Arizona
 the CITIZEN has had much to say in his
 behalf. That he deserved it can be
 truthfully said, for whether as shotgun
 messenger for the express company, sheriff cf Pima county, or United States
 Marshal for Arizona, be has been tte same fearless and indefatigable officer, and it gives us pleasure once more to bring bis name before the country. There IS nothing weak or vacillating about him or his administration, for he is bold, fearless and the very personiti- cation of good officer and what good officer should be. Indomitable of will, large and strong of frame, be has ever been terror to the evil doers of the more of whom he has brought to the bar Of icstice, it can safely be said, than aay other man In Arizona. That he has again consented to run for Sheriff is a matter for congratulation by all good citizens. He is stslwart wher- ever duty calls him, and when he again assumes control of the sheriff's office it will be warning for the vicious to cease their evil doing.

VICIOUS AND UNWARRANTED
 ATTACK.

The democratic territorial platform makes very malicious attack upon Elk Gov. N. o. Murphy and accuses him of venal extravaganza in connection with the Loan Commission. Of course every one will understand that it is done for political effect, yet it is inexcusable and extraordinary to assail candidate in a party platform.
 It is charged that it cost the territory S2S, 900 to sell Sl600,0Oo of territorial bonds, and that SlS,000 of that sum was illegally expended. Everyone familiar with the subject knows that it required three and one- half years of earnest e;- feet to make the sale, during which time Congressional ajd had to be Invok ed, the bonds engraved several times to satisfy technical obj ctioIs, and great many trips necessitated to Eastern markets. It is also known, and can be proven, that Gov. Murphy expended far more from his private funds than he ever was paid for t5e work. It Is con- ceded, too, that to him is principally due the credit of selling AIizona's 5s at par, aLd thereby establishing an indis- putable credit for the territory in the face of many obtacleS and when many 1 of the best financiers iu the territory declared that it would be proper to sell the bonds at 95 per ct., or discount Of S75, ,OO0, and even more, rather than not sell them, in order to reduce the terri tory's interest account. The fact re- mains, teo that the bonds were sold, and at par, and Arizona's annual interest account reduced S45,000, this peculiar platform says at total cost of S28,OOO, and since he left office, more than year and half ago, no bonds have sold not wlthstanding the great use therefor. | Comment seems unnecessary.
 It is known that Governor Murphy received but very small part of that amount-by no means as much as he ex- pended for the taxpayers relief-while bls malicious defamers declare, if not specifically, by strong inference, that he took S100 salary for four years, which the framers of the platform must have known was false. Whatever compensa- tion Gov. Murphy took, and he was le- gally entitled to what he received, we

How men who are honest in all the ordinary walks of life can stultify them selves tbe moment they enter democratic politics is a something not easily ex- plained. Take, for instance, the heavy weight democratic politicians of Pima county. Their hostility to both territo- rial aud federal administrations were noted and notorious. No words that ceuld be coined expressive of disgust have been left unsaid. Every qualify ing adjective that would lend variety or add tone to their deep disgust with the powers that be have been used. No time was out of place, or place out of keeping, to show the contempt felt for the cuckoo element of their own politi- cal faith. This was done as late as the very day they left for Phenix. But vixen in convention they either saw a transfguration, or else they deliberately and wilfully stultified themselves, as they fell over one another, peeled their shlns, grew hoarse of voice and sore of throat in their efforts to endorse the very administration they had howled and sworn at, told ugly stories of and hinted darkly at the deep damnation that awaited their taking of. If such is

Are the preildices which some people cherish against what is good for them. They reason. as our old friend Artemus Ward says, thusly: ''So and so has been taking medicine for long time and isn't any better" They only know of indi- vidual cases. Many cases could be cited, to their astcnishment, in which Hostet- tees Stomach Bitter's has brought about complete change in the physical con- dition of persons suffering from general Ill health. This thorough stomachic, bfsidee having the general recommeoda- tion of the medical profession. is voiced by the general public as the possessor of qualities as aJ invigorant and restorative of health not found anywhere else. In bodily troubles caused by the liver, stomach and bowels, in instances where rheumatic tendencies are experienced, and when the kidneys are weak, it is the true resort

THE Democracy was elated over the withdrawal of several candidates from the republican ticket, and were loud in their exclsmations of delight over what they were pleased to call the breaking up" of the good old party in Pima. But now they are winking the other eye and tears of regret glisten on the face of the withered dame. Tie republican execu- tive committee, using the authority vested in them for that purpo e, met yesterday and filled the vacancies. For councilman Mir. William c. Davis was put forward, and for the office of sheriff Robert H. Paul. Two men better qual- flied for their respective places are not to bs found anywhere. That they have immensely strengthened the ticket is everywhere conceded. Democrats aud republicans are of one mind on this proposition, and democratic declarations that they will vote for them are numer- ous and assuring. Not only the republl- cans of Pima county, but citizens gen. erally are to be congratulated on the good work of the committee.

REPRESENTATIVE GRosvENoR, of Ohio who took an active part in the Maine campaign, thus sits down on the demo. cratic attempts to belittle the great republican victory: Contrary to re- ports as to the lack Of organization among the democrats iu Maine. the democratic party made a strong cam paign. Thsir most popular man YVES pltted against MT. Reed for congress, and he discussed the tariff question on every stump; their candidate for govern or made a thorough canvass of the state, as did host of lesser lights, and the populists delivered more speeches than did all the other parties com bined. This shows that the republicans had no walk over. The main question dis cussed on the republican side was the tariff On that we maCe our fight. The Hawaiian affair entered into the campaign, but d.d nJt cut much of a figure. The live issue was the tariff, and but little else was talked of" Gen. Grosvenor believes that the example of Name and Vermont will be followed by | the entire country, excepting always the southern states, in Novem Der, and tbat the election of a republican president two years hence is as certain as that the sun will rise tomorrow.

GovERNoR HUGHES will be smothered in a smile as big as barn door when the democratic convention closes its la- bors in Phenix today. He is koown to to have that body we'll in hand, and the opening and closing paragraphs of the program will be the endorsement of his administration. It is said that Judge Barnes and Jim Finley will wet nurse the first in tears of contrition, and that NJ. G. Samaniego and Fred G. Hughes will proclaim in a husky voice the total and abiect submission of the cookie burrs. This proclamation will have 8 tendency to keep down expenses below the receipts.

The Wom on Know Best.

Much comment has been caused by the official reports or the United State: and Canadian governments, in which are presented the evidences of the superior strength, purity and whole someness of the Royal Baking Powder
 It Is true tat the good housewife lcoks upon concentrations of the Roysl Baking Powder from scientists and official sources such as these very much like ''the gliding of refined gold" Her practical experience long since taught her m the most convincing way the great usefulness and superiority of the Royal article. A higher proof than this she does not want and cannot have. Yet it is pleasant for her to realize that the facts established by these great comp, tive tests, these scientific examila- tons made under direction of the gov ernment, exactly par llel those she had before worked out in her own common sence, practical way.
 It does not appear that any baking powder, when !resented In competition with the Royal, either at the govern ment tests before Worlds fair juries, has ever received favor or award over the Royal or made en equal showing in purity, strength or wholesomeness.

Graham County News
Graham Times

At Bowie Tuesday evening several Graham county democrats were taikipg over the work of the convention at SolomoDville that day with Captain Tevis. The latter said: There was one county u Arizona, that I was will ing to bet will go democratic this year and that was Graham. Now I will not bet. You will not elect a man on yonr ticket"
 THERE is no discount on the fact that Governor Hughes has given Arizona s remarkably credltable administration. Now it remains to be seen whether the territorial democratic convention will endorse that administration. If 1t dos 8 the party cannot refuse Mir. Hughes further preferment without self-stultifi cation. If 1t refuses to endorse him 1t will be clear demonstration that the Arizona democracy does not want a creditable administration of public affairs.

GENERAL THOMAS F. WILSON has handed his sisnation, as candidate for councilman on the republican ticket, to the executive committee. Candidly speaking we regret this for the reason that in him Pima county wonld .--.e had an active, aggressive and capable representative. There IS not today a man in either party who would more worthily represent the business and commercial interests at the capitol than General Wilson. This much even pro- noupced enemies must admit. In with drawing from his candidacy he loyalty reaffirms his adhesion to the great prin- ciples of repu blicanism and will not sbate one jot his tireless energy ir behalf of his party and ticket.

CHARLES F. HoFF, who has done more hard work for the democracy than any other man in Arizona, was given in the recent democratic convention what Pete Kitchen got in Sonora. Beyond mem- bership on the territorial central com- mittee he was absolutely and totally ig- nored. Although he called the conven- tion to order, he was not even acknowl- edged with the temporary secretaryship. It is useless to say that he did not want anything, for the reason that nothing was offered him, consequently he had DO declinations to make. The Pima county democracy treated him in like manner. Evidently his hard work is not appreci- ated by his fellows in politics. Smile, Charley, but say nothing.
