TREACHERoUS REFoRMEES SHOULD BE
wtrt'IIEn

81 note that great stress was laid on the fact
of the Governor and myself agreeing TO an
equal division, and the proposal TO substitute
fair or equitable for equal was rejected
very danger OF which spoke in q previous
Interview OF betrayal of the Reform move
ment under the guise of pacitication. 1t is
well known that there are men holding posi-
tions in the Reform movement who have
been opposed to almost everything we have
accomplished or undertaken. In fact they
are ltetOrmers only in name, and for us TO
agree to an equal division without conditions,
aud then have some of these men elected As
ReformerS with The almost absolute certainty
that they would align themselves i'm the con-
vention with the antis would be TO surrender
the control of that convention before it is
elected.

DEMOCRACY AND HARD TIMES.
The term of the present congress is
drawing to close and the country is
beginning to feel easier. Never in the
history of America have representa-
tives persisted in disappearing the
people to the extent that this congress
has done. Every pledge made when
Cleveland was elected has been broken,
and if the president had had to be
elected last fall, Cleveland would have
been retired to private life with his
congress. After the fourth of March he
will be more harmless, Republican
congress will be in power; the business
men of the country are waiting for that
time; they are afraid to do anything,
so long as there is possibility of more
Democratic legislation. So soon as the
present congress ceases to exist new
enterprises will be started, merchants
will increase their stock and our CAPT.
talists will commence to reinvest their
capital and thus business will gradually
get better.
The Democratic party has brought
everything down to the lowest point !;
we have cheap goods and cheap labor,
but the laborer lacks employment, and
cannot buv cheap goods. With the
beginning of next month, we may look
for a steady Improvement. better en-
ployment for our workmen, more bust
ness for our merchants, and more in
vestments for our capitalists. This is
not the opinion of THE REPUBLICAN
only, but the general opinion expressed
by the leading newspapers and business
men of the country. We believe the
exit OF the Democratic majority at
Washington will be the passing away
of dull times. and the commencement
of brighter future for this country.

the valley had been slandered. DR..
Ford who was interested in the trans
action and has invested thousands OF
dollars in the city hunted the slande.-
er down and in consequence is made
the victim of a vicious personal
assault.
There is no wonder that the people
were indignant. If the community was
not peaceable and law abiding one
the people would not have been salts
fed with mere indignation. We agree
with the Gazette that this city will not
tolerate bosses and bulldozers, whether
they have been here for twenty years
or for one. Neither will the people
tolerate slanderers of the valley, ever
ready to intimidate would-be investors
unless they themselves are bringing
about the sale.
1t is time for that species of real
estate business to cease and now that
the Ford incident has suggested the
possibility OF such an evil public
opinion will pull it up by the roots and
drive it out of existence.
While DIR. Ford's experience since
his residence in Phoenix has been OF
a somewhat exciting character, he has
invested heavily and will undertake to
build up the city, in which effort be
will have the the active support of the
people, the Gazette and any bulldozer
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
So far as THE REPUBLICAN is con-
cerned it will continue to stand for
decency regardless of the threats of
intimidaters, and even at the risk of
mourning the displeasure of the Gazette.
Occurrences like the outrage on Dr. Ford
will continue to be made public and the
guilty persons held up for the inspec-
ton of the people. That is our mis-
zion on earth. And we shall encourage
immigration and the investment of
capital, for it is only by this means
that the old timers may enjoy the
fruit of their years of toll in Arizona.
The old timers and the new timers
should join hands in building up the
new Arizona and in protecting her
good name against evil tongued per-
sons.
But in the meantime the more
Fords the better for the terri
tory, and this paper wants to 60 on
record now and always as opposed to
slanderers of the Salt River valleys
fair fame and in favor of men like DR..
Ford who are not afraid to invest their
money in the city and valley, and who
are willing to protect the country's rep
utation even at the risk of personal
violence to themselves.

PHOENIX. FEBRUARY "a. 1895.
A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
is TO 1.

The Gazette processes to be surprised
that THE REPUBLICAN should consider
the assault made upon DR.. Ford few
days ago of sufficient Importance to
notice. THE REPUBLICAN in turn con-
fesses surprise that the Gazette con-
sidered the matter of SO little conse-
quence to the people of the valley that
it did not devote even line to the &C.
currence. We are also surprised that
the Gazette should rush to the defense
of an outrage that is condemned by
every citizen of Phoenix. We confess
surprise, indeed, that the Gazette should
in one breath declare that it is tired of
"bulldozers and Bosses" and in the
next condone an offense of that char
acter. So the surprise is mutual.
If the Gazette does not know of the
circumstances. which led to the malici-
GUS personal assault upon DIR. Ford it
should inform itself. 1t confesses
ignorance inexcusable and lamentable
for newspaper which makes pretense
OF giving the news, or of building up
and developing the country. The edi-
tor of the Gazette should read The Re-
PUBLICAN and keep informed of the
events of the day.
The circumstances which led to the
open and notorious assault upon DR..
Ford were published in full in this
paper day before yesterday and the
public indignation which followed the
intelligence was complete.
Aside from the fact that young man
had assaulted an old man while a
companion had kept the crowd away,
there was another feature which appeal
ed most strongly to the business sense
of the community. A capitalist who
proposed to invest in the valley had
been thwarted and driven out. He had
been bulldozed and intimidated, and
