 The Courier this morning says that among other things Herndon has done for tho territory he has paid his taxes. IL is a good thing J.. c. did so, or he would have had his property sold by the sheriff.
 In the midst of the peals of polit- ical thunder, in the shadowy gloom of the "man ln the moon,' there arises from the benighted sheet down the street the weep and vail of "iRah for Herndon '
 Herndon has in the democratic platform the toughest question to handle that he has ever been con- fronted with in his career as a law yer. The Arizona jury will rule that it is "irrelevant and immaterial" on the first ballot.
 Herndon and Wilson are down for a big talk at St. Johns on the 2d. When they light onto the big wool constituency in that section and attempt to ram" down the thro of the sheep men of Apache county their free wool heresy, the fur will surely fly. If there is one industry in Apache county that requires pro lection, it is wool.
 T.G. Norris, a partner of John C. Herndon, was few years ago con- sidered wealthy sheep man, but since the democratic "drap' in wool he has gone out of sight along with others in Coconino. And still Mir. Norris is aa uneompromisin g demo erat of the free wool stripe.
 If Mr. Herndon was not in sym pathy with the orders issued by his late partner, Judge Hawkins, during the recent strike, be will probably say so while making his speeches along the A. & P. road.
 The misnamed Arizona Republi- can is saying as plainly as 1t can without words, If the party wants our support, it must put up.' If candidate were wise, he would  sooner pay for the opposition of that hold-up concern and its insig- nifcant little gang of black mailers.
 The campaign of the delegate nominees is very quiet as yet. How ever, the people are earnestly wait ing for that dose Herndon so enthu- siastically promised the people while he was flushed with victory over securing the nomination. Has he weakened ' From his manner in smoothly sailing in and out of Pres colt, ho must have swallowed one of his his own emetics, and it went back on him.
 There is some regret expressed in this community over the act of Colonel Wilson in allowing his name to be attached to the demo cratic platform, particularly that clause of it which so wantonly and bitterly assshs the republican nom iuee for congress. We ara led to the conclusion, however, that the Colo nel thinks he knows what he is doing.
 Why do the democratic hench- men desire to associate Oakes Mur- phys name with the s. F., P. X P. road because his brother Is its pres ident, and why do they keep silent on the fact that J. c. Herndou is the acknowledged legal representa- tive of W. A. Clark in all that gen. tleman's business at Jerome, the railroad included. These are ques tious for the corporation haters to consider. There is decency, even in politics.
 Of all the mines operated in the United States at the present time, $6l2, ,25O represents the amount of , dividends paid by them in six months. And yet the present ad- , ministration would throttle the ' mining industry that affects thous- ands and encourage the sugar trust that has but q few to receive the benefits of its systematic robbery. } The best way to set the sign of disapproval of tho acts of the demo crats in destroying the silver, cattle and wool industries in Arizona, is to vote solidly against the democratic ticket, Show by your votes also that you disapproye the removal of troops from San Carlos aud Fort Bowie. These two posts are on the direct route always taken by reno- gads Apaches on their occasional outbreaks for the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico.
 I The candidacy of Bucky o'Neill , is definitely settled upon. He will not make the race, and gives his reasons therefoF in statement that there are two things in this life man wants-a fo. ,n5 or political hon. ors. As he has the former now, after years of rustling. he is willing to lay down the political tomahawk. Bucky will now probably take the stump for Murphy; for Herndon he can not.
