10 the Voters of Mohaue Countu.

Gentlemen and Feliow Citisens: Being now 8 candidate for the Terri torial Council, and desiring your support at the polls, ] deem It my duty in justice to my friends and myself to state my position.
 It has been whispered around that l am "gold bug"
 To this I reply that all the little say. ings of my lite Of thirty.eight years, are invested 'n Mohave county and my lot is with you.
 If the enactment Of free silver coinage law would be beneficial to the people of this country, and which I believe 1t would be, Wall Street excepted, why would it not be to my benefit as well2
 Who would do me the injustice to charge that l would favor any cause or thing that would prove detrimental to my own interests and to that of those among whom hvs?
 Reason answers, none, excep. a few who may be inclined to accomplish my defeat at any cost.
 This being the case am frank to sc. knowledge that believe in the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the present ratio of Is to l, by independent action of the United States.
 Ii elected to the Council. l will use every power at my command to defeat the desire of Utah to change the boun- diary line between Arizona and Utah, whereby Utah would acquire valuable portion of both our county and that oi Coconino.
 During the last legislature, former resident of Utah, but now . citizen of Apache county, by name Crosby, in. troduced memorial, asking congress to change the boundry between the terri tory and Utah, stating in his speech on his memorial, that that portion of Ari- Ions lying north of the Colorado river, was worthless and inhabited by lawless people.
 To this took exceptions and the mat. ter was referred to myself and Mir. Green. law of Coconino. as a special committee.
 In our report on the same to the House, we recommended the indefinite postponement ot the Crosby memorial and introduced one in lieu thereof, pray. ing congress to allow the original boun dsry line. Our memorial passed the house ~ith bat one disse oting vo,ce; but to my surprise, was killed in the coun. ell, with the assertion by one or more mem bers of the council that that portion of the territory north of the river was of no benefit to us and that it was occupied by lswless set of Mormons.
 Investigation shove that our county and Coconino, both receive considerable taxes thereirom yearly, with no expense except the running of a little school about six months year.
 As the line now stands that wonderful freek of nature, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, of which we are all so proud. lies wholly In our territory. which, fl the boundary is changed as prayed for by Utah, making the river the line, we would lose one half of this great won- der.
 As to the other matters of Legislation effecting the interests of the county in any way, will say that such would re- ceive proper treatment at my hand. / Very respectfully,
 o. D. Nj. GADDIs.

Buckey ONeill.

Tuesday Buckey O'Neill, the populist candidate for congress, arrived in King man and was warmly greeted by his many friends. Buckey has always re. tained warm place in the hearts of old timers of this county as memory oi the olden days when be used to visit Mineral Park as court reporter and ran with the boys. In the evening he spoke to 6 well filled house and received many plsudits throughout his address. The audience was made up of democrats, populists and republicans and the ap- plsuse was unstintsd. There was pain. ful lack of management by the local pop ulisis, but that was to be expected from the novices in control Of the machine. The general impression is that Buckey will fall short of his vote two years ago by fully one hundred and possibly more. And yet there are few people here who would not like to see Buckey Tn congress. He Is sn indefstigable worker and 1t is too bad to find him on the losing side.

Last night gang of robbers made an attempt to hold up east bound passenger No. 2, at Rio Puerco. The train crew opened fire on the robbers and the leader was instantly killed. The passengers turned out and kept up fire on the out laws until they were forced to fee. When they rode of a quarter of mile they were heard to call the names of two men, which leads to the supposition that another one of the robbers was either killed or badly wounded. Recep- tions like this will have dampening effect on the ardor of train robbers.

money Wasted.

There Is general complaint about the
manner In which money is squandereCl in
some respects In this city. For instance
on Saturday last the street hands clean
ed che cutters on County street from
Dinwiddie to Washington. They were
In terrible condition. and several cart
loads of dirt were taken out of them
and was raked up on one side Instead
OF removing the dira in the afternoon OF
the same day. 1t was left there all day
Sunday as an eye-sore to persons going
to and from church. and to strangers
who might pass that way in a street-car
Sunday night u drenching rain came
and carried portion OF 1t back in the
cutters. Monday and Tuesday came
and still the dirt remained unmoved
and the rain of yesterday has about
carried all OF 1t back The city paid
three men Sl.7o day to remove this dirt
and Will have to do the same thing
again. On Washington stree. It is the
same way, the gutter having been clean
ed on Saturday. The street-carts pass
ed on Monday. took the. dirt out the bar
reis and boxes, but left the din that
had been piled up still standing. This
IS useless waste of money, and some ac-
ton should be taken to prevent such
things.
