class of chahf. Mr. Stewards bank
 ing business has not been forgotten
 by the people, Murphy's loan com
 mission, extravaganza and mlsrule
 to say nothing Of his violation o
 his oath of office, and the law or the question, should be sufficient cause for every intelligent voter, be he democrat or republican, who, has any desire 10 see our taxes re duced and bonded indebtedness de- creased, should be emphatic in turning him down on the 9th day of November. Publice xtravagance in officers is to day one important cause of hard times. When a pub lie servant reaches down into our pockets and takes our hard earned money to pay for extravagant rail road tripsto eastern cities, that, tests his political principles far greater than campaign talk. When the peo- pie employ an officer they give him all the salary he justly earns and every cent used by him extravagant- ly, y,thatis not warranted by law is so much mouey stolen from eonfd- ing people, and should be sounded with no uncertain ring. "Where mans treasure is, there is his heart also"
 Mir. Murphy in order to catch Mormon votes apologies and says, that he has repented of his sins since his nomination, ,and promises in the future to be a friend to the mormons. True repentance comes from a slncereS desire to be better, not from a morbid desire for pollti- cal spells. Had Mir. Murphy made these declarations two years ago, they would have been revived inia different light, 1 guess he forgot. We say to MT. Murphy, our only means of judging the future is by comparison of the past.
 We are all familiar with his at tempts to shack!e the Mormon pop ulation of Arizona with political disabilities. Just how republican Mormon can vote for Murphy we are unable to understand. Should Mir. Murphy receive a majority, is he not, after the votes are counted, ] liable to dim the lpster of our star by test oath? On the other hand J. c. Herndon is, and has been a man to whom the oppressed might confdingly appeal, for assistance whether he be Mormon, Jentile, Jew or Mexican. The writer we'll re- members the manly stand taken by the Hon. J. c. Hernd0n some years ago, during the Mormon" trials at Prescott. It was not popular then to defend a "Mormon." Mr. Hern- don was not then asking for politi- cal office either but simply doing his duty as a man who loves free dom and justice.
 I would say to a democrat who contemplates voting for "O'Neil, '" that you are throwing away your vote. Mr.O'Neil has not the slightest chance of being elected and if he were elected, what could he do for us, with a democratic majority in the House, ,and Senate, and a presi- dent of the same political faith. He could do this he could draw the sal ary and have an enjoyable time at our expense. Only this and noth- ing more"
 Murphy must carry his gall with him to say the least when he tells US all the mean stories about Cleve- lands killing silver, being responsi- ble for the drouth, and hard times in general. and charging the Demo cratic House and Senate with all sorts of improper legislation. Does he expect an intelligent voter 10 be- lieve such thin stuff? Mir. Murphy wants us to believe that by abusing the party in power they will grant him extra favors.
