EDITORIAL NOTES.

Fort Worth, IS said to be worth Sl,OOO,OOO
 Train robbing in Arizona is a cap ital otfense. It would not be a very bad idea to enforce the law to the letter.
 Senator McFherson has not de- cided to put his cook on the stump this fall, to tell about that sugar speculation.
 Anson H. Smith of the MohAve Miner announces himself as an independent candidate for the terri torial council, on his @free coinage" platform.
 Wonder how Mir. Herndon's anti corporation speeches sound to the ears of the corporation managers in whose employ he is and whose attor- ney he has been for years
 The democratic convention yes terday adopted plank in its plat form, recommending the repeal of the license tax, imposed upon merchants by the last democratic legislature.
 It is refreshing to see the number | of old time republicans, who have 1 been more or less dissatisfied for l several years, falling into line this | year, with their coats of working ] for the entire republican ticket.
 It is really cruel on the part of i those hard-hearted editors who l criticize Mir. Cleveland for not nlakr ing public his private opinion of Hills nomination. If he did. it couldn't be printed in afamily news- paper.
 Mir. Cleveland's letter of con- graduation to Senator Hill seems to have been lost in the shuffie. And by the way we are also reminded that Zulicks congratulatory letter to Mir. Herndon has not yet been seen in print.
 The New Jersey syndicate that proposes to dredge for money lost in the wreck of British man of war in l7SO may not have money to burn, but it evidently has money to sink; and it will not take long to sink it, either.
 Voters can make no mistake by voting the republican ticket. 1t is difficult to convince many of them. who have heretofore voted the democratic ticket, that a serious mistake was not made two years ago, by too many people Vot- ing the democratic ticket.
 The republican party is a party oi principle and not of policy and promises. While it would have to be more than human. not to have made any mistakes, its policy has been such that under its control of of the government, the whole people have been prosperous and happy.
 The platform adopted by the re- publican county convention yester- day has the true ring to it. It is concise, yet pointed and explicit, and deals with facts and sentiments which must meet with the approba- ton of conservative voters.
 Running an anti-corporation cam paign with corporation lawyer at the head of the ticket, is the singular and anomalous feat which the democratic party in this territory is attempting. But then nothing staggers that party as consistency is the last thing in the world which they think of.
 The Courier says: "This Is democratic year and November will be the most democratic month of them all" Just what our contem porary bases the above assertion on, is difficult to determine. The cleo tions in Oregon, Maine, Vermont and Connecticut, certainly do not show it.
 Mir. Herndon will part with some of his views on tariff reform to night no doubt. It is rather difficult for a democratic orator to know just "where he is at all the time. In the national democratic convention of 1888, we are informed, MT. Herndon was supporter of that democratic protectionist Mir Cor man for chairman of committee on platform and resolutions,
 "Our country cousins will note how the Prescott ring got in its work, seven nominees for Prescott and four for the balauee of the county" Courier. Prescott ring indeed Prescott had eleven votes in the convention out of eighty-fve. Outside precincts had seventy four votes. Such twaddle about Pres colt ring controlling the convention in the face of such facts is worthy of utterance from a five year old boy.
 Our contemporary Is making des- perate efforts to make 1t appear that w. E. Hall, republican candidate for probate judge is a new oomer and stranger here. The fact is that he has resided iu this section for six or eight years, having been absent for only a short period dur ing that time. This fact is we'll In,,,,v, &o Sha ad;tOr of fha N,,,.:<. |
