 Mr. Herndon left Prescott as he entered it it-quietly and smoothly.
 The republicans of Arizoua are for free silver, and there arc no long strings tied to it either.
 A democrat remarked yesterday, " Thank God tho present admins tra,ion can only get it's fins on our military posts"
 The fight on sheriff in democracy, it is said, has narrowed down to Ruffner and Genung. What about the silent candidatei
 Colonel Wilson is now delicately referred to as the power behind the throne" Physically, the oft defeated platform moulder is out of sight.
 Colonel Wilson sprung the bung- hole-story upon the unsophisticated voters of Mohave county. This IS sn educational campaign.
 Some surprises are in store for democracy in certain offices, and when the anarchists get their bombs ready look out for an explosion aud a sudden stampede.
 When 8 man builds himself a home and a reputation in Arizona he shough be sent to Congress. ac- coEding to the Courier.
 If the earth wobbles little for a day or two, don't get alaFmedl 1t is only Colonel Wilson travelling back and forth over the A. < r. road.
 There is a newspaper down on the Rio Salinas that is sitting serenely one the political fence. "Get up. you seu of a gun, and show your hand"
 The Courier says: "Mr. Herndon is right; mines should be taxed" " We will see how many miners and prospectors will agree with them this fall,
 There is but one way to handle a criminal, whether he is high in off cial life or low in private life. It is through the courts. Party plat forms won't work, and the most ignorant voter will say so.
 Budd, the democratic candidate for governor of California, whose other name is "mud," is hoo6ng 1t from town to town. Here is pointer for Herndon.

 Quite a number of prominent democrats have announced them selves for Oakes Murphy. thereby desiring to show their disapProval of the methods used against him in platform and press. Decency will always win.
 Mayor Parkerson, who presided at the sugar planters convention m New Orleans the other day, stated that the number of illiterates in Louisiana had increased in the last decade from 5QOO0 to 5000. When democrats fall out, the people begin to learn the truth.

 A party of California mining ex- plorers recently wandered to the Funeral mountains, in Southern Nevada, and came near perishing from lack of water and the intense heat. Another instance of hunting for a lost mine of fabulous wealth
 South Carolina democrats in con vention last week refused to endorse Cleveland, coming out boldly and defantly in denunciation of his gold bug and monopolistic princi- ples. It is useless to say they are right, buf they differ from most ol the weak-kneed democratic conven- tions nevertheless.
 Frank Daggs, heretofore one oi the strongest propounders of demo cratic logic, who ran for the council in Yav4pai few years ago, has come out hat-fUotedly for republi. canism. Mir. Daggs once was a wealthy sheep man; now he isn't He says in the Flagstaff Sun that .
