 Will the voters of this county re- ward the men who have labored to advance this section and succeeded in bringing in capital for investment in many enterprises that are now noticeable, or vii! they tura back and follow in the old beaten and worn-out track of supporting a man on the iimsy ground of political principle Tho nominee of the re- publicans for delegate to Congress has been a stayer witl. Arizona, and the good work he has done to ad- vance our interests stands out boldly and plainly as deiying oontradie ton. We believe in men being legit- innate citizens, and when they come before people to seek aid in their political ambitions, they should have something more bona fde to work on and draw on than politi- cal pull.
 Chief Justice Baker also seems to be innoculated with the fever that Arizona should send a democratic delegate to Washington, so that the dominant party will not chop" on the admission bill. When the judi ciary of Arizona commences to monkey with the political buzz-saw on any political proposition what ever, and lower the dignity oi their calling to the common rut of a striker, the manhood of our people should De plainly asserted at the polls in severe object lesson Baker went to Washington 10 pull the statehood string, presumably for the benefit of the people, but in reality for himself, and in doing SO he associated common political schemes with the only sacred insti- tuition we have. When we have to mix up these two elements it Is time statehood was lost and courts abolished. The ministry will prob ably be the next source to draw on to go to Washington and fight for the cause.
 "And the State of Maine, which has had no increase in popul ltion for about thirty years, sends m an increased republican majority."- Courier. And the State of Alabama, which still persists. through fraud and violence, in rolling up it's tre- mendous democratic majorities in the face of the fact that through northern influence and northern en- terprise of a republican nature it has been redeemed from an age of so called chivalry and incidence to one of manufacturing and produc- ton. Returns from the recent state election in Alabama show that the populist candidate for governor Captain Kolb, aided by the repub- licans, carried every county in the state in which white voters were in the majority; but in the black coun- ties the democratic vote was so inn mense as to more than overcome the fair vote boiled elsewhere. In one county particularly the democratic majority was 3l4 more than the en- tire population. counting men, women and children, which shows that the democrats have tired of white supremacy and now claim their principal support from the negroes. This may be waving the bloody shirt" but the beauties of that ensanguined garment can not be too often described. At any rate there is one pleasing feature about the affair, the populists have been compelled to take some of the med ieine the republicans have been swallowing for years.
 The nomination of ex-Goyernor Murphy for delegate to Congress on the republican ticket has been made. It is no surprise, It is but the ful- filling of sacred obligation the party owed the man in recognition of his services to the territory as a private citizen and as its highest official. The selection of Mir Mur- phy is one in which wisdom was displayed, and it may be said that for the first time in its history man has been chosen by the repuh- lican party against whom not q tinge of reproach can be advanced Looking backward on the career of the nominee as private citizen of Yavapai courty, We find him one of our foremost and most energetic promoters Of enterprises that owe their realization to-day to his strong will and persistency. As an official of the territory, his acts were such that the petty jealousies which ex- isted between communities and the encouragement of sectional hatred were wiped out, His official life. as a whole, was such that when he retired the good will of even his political enemies was liberaly ex- pressed. His nomination now. at the close of pure and clear career. is but due him, and barring no man, his old home should now come for ward with ringing voice and give to him the endorsement that is due.
 Cattle are being driven over the boundary line in Soqtha.n n Arizona from Mexico at a rapid rate under the new sus sar-coated tariff bill. and the customs officers are being kept busy in consequence. The ranges of Northern Sonora are crowded with cattle N ic accumulated into vast herds w-.,te the Mckinley bil practically restricted their importal tion. On the range they can be- bought in unlimited quantities for s per head Mexican money, or S2.5O American money, The duty under the new law is 20 per cent. ad valo-
