Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1894-09-26

Mir. Herndon remarked while in Phenix that he had no record, and he thanked God for it." The same can not be said of oakes Murphy, thank God From the day the republican candidate entered Ari- zona he has worked on and up until be was elevated to the highest posi- ton in the territory. His political success is due entirely to his rustling abilities in commercial enterprises, such as bringing in men with capi- tai for the mines, railroad building, irrigation schemes and other equally good things to make the territory thrifty and prosperous While Mr. Murphy has been rustling for every body and everything in Arizona, Mir Herndon has been equally as lively at his private legal desk, and everybody knows it. One has been at work for himself, while the other has been working for the best inter ests of the territory, and We defy contradiction of it.
 "It was Missouri against Ken tuck, and Missouri got there with hands down. .7->Star.
 In Yavapai for generations it has been Missouri against the universe. We have a Missouri judge, a Mis- souri clerk of the court, and now it is big dose of Missouri delegate to swallow. It would seem as if all the woodchucks select Arizona as the base of their political operations, and they seem also to be of the Mis- souri stripe. In short, it is Missouri from h-l to breakfast in office-seek- ing. and the only democratic quail fcation seems to be, is he from Mis- souri
 It will be waste oftime and cash for any corporation candidate to run for office this year, as these are the times when Jeffersonian democracy must prevail in order that the world may know that We have a govern ment of the people and not a gov ernment of the trusts and corpora tions.-Courier.
 This is very pretty language to come from such a democratic source as the above, in view of the candi- dacy of Herndon, whom the above paper is supposed to support. A corporation candidate, we will ad nit, is bad enough, but good Lord deliver us from the clutches of a corporation lawyer, and one, also, of that agility that voters need not be reminded of.
 When the voters of Arizona read the democratic platform they will unhesitatingly pronounce it big bungling document. When they consider its features later and take into consideration the inconsistency of many of its measures, they will naturally wonder how their nomi- nees are going to run on 1t and li7e up to the provisions it contains. For instanc', ,, the Chicago platform ef 1892 had a strong free silver clause, which was not lived up to later when Cleveland went in. The Arizona platform says that Glove lands administration is approved. This is fine recommendation for J. c. Herndon to go before the miners of Arizoua on as an advocate of free silver. The people are con graduated, in another instance, over 8 partial reform in tariff matters. This feature will also be weighed for all it is worth by the wool ele- ment and the livs stock industry. With the thousands and thousands of men who have been thrown out
  of work since the "partial tariff refo m has been at work through out the land, there will be at least some sympathy shown by the work ingman even in Arizona of a kin ared nature, to condemn also this phase of the document. The decla- ration that ths party is and has been the friend of the workingman is the most fragrant and dirty piece of business yet advanced. The action of Cleveland in ordering out United States troops to shoot down men everywhere in the land during the recent railroad strike will live in hatred as long as the party lives. It was the first time in the history of the republic where federal troops were called out to coerce and sub due the men who labor honestly and industriouslY for the little they re- ceive, and the number of men in this section who were constantly under the bayonet of the federal soldier shows that the plank is a fictitious one, and one, also, that IS an insult to the American laborer. The allusion to trusts, etc, is ridic- ulous and humorous, too. If you want to make a democrat real hot. just mention sugar. The funding of the debt of Arizona is assailed in various matters, because it origin ated with the republican party. Of ! this more will be said in the future issues of this paper. The document as whole is voluminous, and about | the only things they haven't tackled | are forest fires and water spouts.
 Thank You"
