WILL WORK AND VOTE FOR
 MURPHY.

Lullck'S fplsslOn to ArlZ0na IS explaln- ed The territory must go democratic in order that he may be governor again. Arizona's New Jersey politician comes to the land of sunshine and silver to fill the vacancy that will be caused by the removal of Gov. Hughes if Arizonas delegate should be by the grace of the popular vote of the territory be selected to represent us in the halls of congress- The popular vote which means the laborer, mechanic, miner and farmer, the merchant and banker; in fact, the vote that represe nts the material inter- ests of the great mass of the people irrespective of party affiliations, accord ing to the old times, which have be- come oblIterated through wanton, reck- less and the baldest of recreataDcy on the part of the so-called democratic party's bosses and leaders. Why are the great mass Of the democracy drifting to the peoples party? Why do the honest democracy, which represents the best, noblest and highest impulses of pure Jefersonianism resent as they did in the election for city officers in this city last spring by electing a full re- publican city ticket if it is not because they are tired and weary of the yoke that they have bearing, placed on their necks by a clique who claim to be demo- crats, but who have ever since they have been identified with the party have led it into snares and pitfalls, and are now leading 1t into sn abyss of ruin. This same element now wante, and have gone to considerable expense to bring here, ex-Gov. 0. Meyer Zulick for the purpose of throwing the novel and ouestunable support of a New Jersey statesman, of the Senator McPherson stripe, (vIz. anti statehood and auti- silver) to brace up their fast waning power. What spectacle We are to toe balance of the country to be led to the ignoble pen to be slaughtered in cur hopes fer relief in favor of those who only have what pecuniary gain is offer red by the ambitions.
 A leading democrat and one of tie most wealthy and public spirited citizens in thIs city, said: '1 cannot support Hernaon because of the element which I recognlze and know to be innimIcal to the general welfare of the people of the territory. This element to my certain knowledge has disabled our business standing abroad through libel, islander and other nefsrious methods to satisfy personal pique and revenge. Not satisfied in that line amongest them selves, these same crowd in order to cling as power behind the throne are endeavoring to boost into office people that will have to be their creatures. I, not only as democrat but as one who recognizes Arizona as land of wonder ful resources, in which I have cast my lot, intend to support Oakes Murphy; first, because I belive him to be an honest man vilely slandered for political purposes; secondly, with the balance of the people of the territory owe him B debt of gratitude for the good be hes done us, both as an official and as private citizen. In proof of that it is only necessary to allude to the fact that in this year he through his wonder ful indefagitable energy has brought S4,000,000 to aid our languishing trade and industries. This, I am sure, will set at rest any doubt in the minds of all who have at heart their own interests, s we'll as of the territory's. taking every thing into consideration"
 Those who doubt that such person exists, who has ever been a loyal and is one yet democrat, can address to Hop. James 4. Fleming, late territorial tres- surer for particulars. K.
