 present administration seems to be hitting every community in the republic, and Arizona is the last mark it has picked out. Geronimo aud his band have left their mocca. sin tracks on the prosperity of the territory that will take years to obliterate, and now virtually send ing him and his cut-throats again to menace our people is cruel and at the same time a dastardly piece of official work,
 The Gazette says that Mir. Hern- don has healed every faction in Ari- zona. II the number of sore heads to be seen in this community, aud the remark of well-known demo erat who was asked to take the stump for him, but declined by say ing, "rm sick. goes for anything SO early in the campaign, this smooth individual wlll find that his candi- daey has incubated several indiyid- ual factions that will be hard ele- ments to handle next November.
 We regret exceedingly the con duct of Preseottites in permitting John C. Herudon to arrive in his mountain home without some ac- knowledgment being shown him as the democratic nominee for dele gate. Mr Hsrndon should have been accorded a hearty reception by all, and the good will of our people shown without any political signif- canee for that matter. While this paper can not support Mir. Hern- don, we welcome him home, never theless, in a spirit of good will for the man and pride for the city.
 Arizona does not cut much of a figure in administration circles, even if she has an unterrifed democratic constituency, and Zulick, the big gest of them all, does not seem to carry much weight either The whole territory protested against the removal of Geronimo, and the appeal was needed to the extent that two of our most important military posts were ordered aban- doned, along with the order fer Geronimo's removal. And still the great democratic party is our friend aud the last territorial convention approved of Cleyelaud's course. Bah
 The democratic platform declares its fealty to the workingman, while the representative Gazette and the gubernatorial Star have succeeded in reducing the compensation of their employees to a sum which the cowed serf of Europs would shun. Helpless females receive the munifi- cent sum of 55 cents a day for ten hours work on the Star, while Dun bars Disgrace promises more but pays less. While these starvation wages have beea inaugurated by the democratic papers above re- ferred to, their prices for advertis- ing, subscription, etc, have remained unchanged. If it is true that "char- ity begins at home" the ameliora- ton of the workingman is very distant if the true feeling of repre- sentative democracy can be taken for a presage of what is to come.
 Several years ago in Prescott, dur ing a democratic convention, finan- cial matters were deeply expressing that body. When the platform was handed in there was column after column of figures which were to be given to the public as showing the extravagance of the republican party. When the measure was about to be adopted an Irish dele gate arose, and addressing the meeting said, "Gintlemen, don't monkey wid fggers." His talk had the desired effect, and this clause was thrown out. Before the cam paign is over on delegate there will be some people hereabouts who will wish that the array of figures in the territorial democatio platform had neser been mentioned, for it gives the other fellows such a brilliant opening that some one will get very sick of the proposition.
 The filthy aud disgusting conduct of the democratic platform commit tee in incorporating 8 personal abuse clause in their document against Governor Murphy is being condemned to-day everywhere, and even in democratic circles in this city their action is not approved. When mud-slinging has to be incor- porated into the principles of q party, and but one man made to bear the burden of its spleen be- cause he is the nomiree of that party, it is time all fair-minded men took hand to condemn such cow ardly and unwarranted acts. The republican party as a whole is large enough to bear the evils of its fol- lowers, if thoa are any, but when an individual Is attacked in the das- tardly manner the democratic plate form has selected, the sentiment of all fair-minded men will be ex- pressed in vicious" hostility to such an uncalled- for course.
 People from Southern Arizona say the utmost enthusiasm prevails
