Arizona weekly citizen., 1894-10-27

THE following notice of the situ ation in Pima county was plainly written but the compositor made it Pima county instead of Yuma. We are pleased to note from the Star, however, that Piml is in prosperous a condition and We think We remember that 1t WAS largely under republican rule tbst it became so, notwithstanding the Stars denial. The item noted, however, should have read as follows: "The affairs of Yuma county have for years past been man. aged by republicans. The result IS for the first tune in years the county rants, has $500 in cold cash in the duced 30 per cent. Turn the ras calls out"-Phoenix Herald.
 DEMOCRATIC opposition has kept Arizona out of statehood. The opposi- tion of that party to our admission as a state is hidden by great noise but the cold dog fighting fact remains that they have kept us out. They had big working majority in both houses and could have opened the door to statehood in day had they inclined in that dIrec- tion, but they were not and it is the worst kind of rot to tell people other wise and expect then to bellve it.
 THE New York Tribune publishes 8 book in two short sentences. It says: "In Herrson times there was abundant work, with wages rising, part of the earnings went into the savings-banks and the interest WAS not drawn out. h Cleveland times there is not enough work to go around, aud much of it ID factories is on half time; wages have fallen and gre going lower; and the in- terest CD previous savings is needed 10 keep body and soul together.
 WHAT does it benefit people if cloth ing is cheaper, providing they have TO money to buy it with? In the language of well known Tucsonite: If steam boats were five cents apiece ard you didn't have the five cents; what are you going to do about lt?"
 THE imperative duty of every self respecting citizen is to vote against the candidate for office who has nothii g better to offer in exchange for suffrage than drink of whiskey. It is de5esing and degrading to pull down American citizenship to so tow level.
 As the election approaches we see an era of better times dswning on the coun- try. The stagnation that has prevailed among business enterprises bids fair to be broken, end with the republicans once more in power the nation will go on as of old.
 ROYAL A. JOHNSON the republican candidate for treasurer, IS a valuable citizen and one who has contributed much to the benefit of this town and community. All that he has is invested here. This is bis home.
 THE democratic ticket Is said to be financially em barraesed. The country has been in that condition ever since that party accidentally hoated into power.
 SCHUMACHER is bluff, shrewd man, with aggressiveness enough to make him strong. What @ splendid super visor he will make.
 "CALL him off," cries the suffering democrat, "he is making votes for Mur- ply"
 THE popularity of the republican can- didates is spreading epldemically all over the county.
 THE Tucson democracy are trading off their Nogales brethren for less than cost.
 TOUCH the button with your ballots and the republican nominees will do the rest.
 THE republican wheel men are mak- ing splendid race.
 WHIsKEY and wind are but poor cre- dentials for office.
 DEMOCRACY is an expensive luxury.
