PROBATE COURT-PARIsH OF ST. Ian

Arizona republican., 1896-06-27

Owing to the plank adopted in the National platform and the driving out of the party of Teller and his asso- ciates, the control of the United States senate will be lost to the Republicans not to be regained for four years, at least. If Mckinley and a Republi- can house is elected tariff bill carry ing out the protective feature of the platform will be introduced It will be impossible to put it through the sen ate and all such legislation will be blocked because the Republican party has driven away from it the western states, each of which has two United States senators, whose votes will be needed in making a majority in the senate. A full recognition of this sit uation does not seem to have dawned upon the average Republican, but it's significance and import cannot but be Seen
Arizona republican., 1896-06-27

There is but one important differ ence between the bolt in the Republi- can party and the one in the Demo cratic party-for the contemplated ac- tion of the Democracy at Chicago is a bolt and nothing else. If the Demo crats in their convention declare for the free coinage of silver they cut loose entirely from the past tenet of the party on that question. The Demo- cratic party is and has been a goldbug party. It has done more to fasten the gold standard upon the country in three years than was previously ac- complished in twenty years. The diff ference between the two sets of bolt CTS carry with them a majority of the voters, in the party and much of the party machinery.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

T. Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits."
Arizona republican., 1896-06-27

Some party organs which pose as newspapers, have already begun to try to drag the tariff issue into the cam paign Everybody knows that there is not the remotest possibility of any change in the tariff laws with the United States senate made up as it is now. It is also we'll understood that 1t will take at least four years to change the complexion of the senate in way to permit of tariff legislation unless silver shall first be restored to coinage. Why thus presume on ignor- ance which does not exist?

mittee proceeded to fill the vacancy by selecting MT Catron, but as the New Mexico delegates opposed to the latter objected, MT. Catron withdrew in the interest of harmony and MT. Solomon Luna was finally chosen.
 Tucson Star: The Republican party has got rid of its white elephant-sil- ver-but the elephant has taken with it several states which make the Re publicans very Respondent indeed. Holbrook Argus: It will soon be in order for certain of the press to begin their vituperative announcements that Senator H. M Teller is morse thief that he is refugee from jus i tice," etc., etc.
 Nogales Vidette: Tom Parish has ! received his commission as treasurer of Arizona and the oath of office has been administered to him. Now if MT. Cole will quietly step down and out l the people of Arizona will gladly say amen.
 ]. Los Angeles Record: Of course a prodigious effort will be made to be- I little the effect of the silver split in the Republican party. Of course Mo Kinley may get away with all combined opposition. But there is no man alive who knows that he will. There is no man who can know much about how
 far reaching the silver split extends

an advance of 25 per cent in the pro ducts that we sent abroad last year, would there have been any occasion for Mir. Cleveland to issue any bonds last winter2 And in that event would not the farmers have had a little profit on their work? In that event would the man who hoards money in the New York bank or in safety deposits, and gets rich by simply it's increase, as represented by the fall in property, would such man leave his money in the banks or would he go and buy property and put it in active use?
 That he cannot go out now and do such a thing is the reason the banks are stuffed with money. The final conclusion of The World is, with the rest of them, that with silver remone- tization, gold would be driven out of circulation Where would it go, Eu- rope? If it should, that would of itself cause an advance of 25 per cent more to the gold of Europe, the price of products, measured by gold, would ad- vance, and gold would lose one-fourth of it's present purchasing power.
 The World reasons the matter through from special pleader's stand point, and there is no possible sense in it's argument.

In the case of Rogers, the stage rob Der sentenced to be hung, there seems to be good grounds for executive elem ency. Rogers did not commit murder and even the old doctrine of "an eye for an eye, etc." does not apply. Be- sides those who know say that Rogers is a young man and lacking the nat ural instincts of the criminal. It is in cases like this that executive elem ency may well be invoked.

This will be a rare opportunity for ladies to obtain some very excellent values at manu- lecturers figures.

In central and southern Arizona two crops or more of nearly everything is produced each year. This being true it is not wonderful that one should
 need two or more crops of some kinds of wearing apparel per year in this same locality. This is particularly noticeable in straw hats. No one can expect to make one straw hat do him
 through an Arizona summer, It is just about time now for the second crop and Alkire's have them, white for the harvest as it were, in fact the har- vest has already begun and the very low prices at which Alkire's straw hats are marked will make this second crop go even faster than the first crop.
