Arizona republican., 1894-11-01

in the Republican ticket is superior to that of the Democrats and to advance sound and logical reasons why there should be change in the political and personal complexion of our county off clals. Even the most prejudiced of our political opponents will certainly give us the credit of sincerity in all of this and admit that it is both our right and duty to be loyal to the principles we profess and the men we advocate for office. We cannot do otherwise and be sincere, for we are firmly convinced that the Republicans have the best of the fight this year and that there are more good and convincing reasons why we should succeed in this contest than there has been in any campaign we have heretofore gone through with for many years in the past.
 There is no necessity for any argu- ment upon our part to prove that there are large number of the rank and file of the Dem ocratic party in Maricopa county and all over the United States who are seri- l II hnI party has pursued and who will not be sorry if the leaders of that organization are taught a wholesome lesson at the coming election, which cannot be taught them in but one way and that is by substantial defeat. It is useless for the Democratic organs in Phoenix to disguise the fact that many Democrats in the city and county are greatly dis pleased over the manner in which our local affairs have been conducted and they, too, will not indulge in any seri- ious expressions of grief if the local Re publican ticket wins the fight this time.

As every ont knows there is and has been for year; past the greatest dissatisfaction regard Ing the practices of certain officials o Maicopa county This is no ldlt charge of TIE REPUBLICAN, but we simply reflect a large majority of publit opinion in reiterating statement tha has been so universally expressed.
 The people have not been pleased with the course our members of tht legislature have pursued, and now ex press willingness to see able and in telligent men chosen as our law maker who will understand the necessities o the county and be enabled to accom- plish much good for Phoenix and Mari copa county. Knowing these facts tC be true and understanding their i'm portant significance, the Repu ublicaI convention was careful in choosing man for each one of the legislative posi- tions who would meet the requirement. of the situation.
 7 THE REPUBLICAN appeals this year tt intelligence, not partisan prejudice We have from the beginning of tht campaign viewed every feature thereo from calm and dispassionate stand . point. In presenting to the voters O Maricopa county and the territory the manifold reasons why tht Republicans should win this year we have of course still retained our party zeal and still have an abiding faith in it's living principles, but wt have seen the necessity in the present contest more than ever before of ap pealing to intelligence and reason, anc of conducting the campaign upon the broad ground of the commonweal in stead of permitting ourselves to bt blinded by the seductive charms O 1 .,nl;tionl Pnforr,, in ,,norn
