Where we're the democrats in Maine

l6 to /! Well, now! 1t was worse
than that IN Maine.
Dame Rumor says that Mark Smith

II any one says "Arksnsas" to you,
answer him with the magical word
"Msiue."
Ton Watson "sabe's" a whole lot.
He said Sewall couln't Gerry his own
family, and certainly no one will dispute
it now.
1t can't be that they ever heard Of
Bryan down in Maine. II they did.
somebody must have told come hard
stories on him, judging from yesterday c
result.
OF course. everybody knew Maine
would 60 republican. They knew it all
the time. The democrats all knew that
the majority would be 1900, but they
didn't like to say 30.
They never did thing to the DEM
ocratio ticket in Maine. 1t was rine
day for epublicans and they were all
out. The democrats had their crowbars
out and were prying the Gun up out OF
the fog.

WHEN Maine voted for Governor il

WHEN Maine voted for Governor in
Septem Der, 1892, just before the presid-
ential election OF that year, the re-
publican majority was 1851. Last
week the New York Mail and Express,
commenting On the possibilities Of an
increased majority, this year said that
# she didn't do lots better than in 1892,
the Pine Tree State would be invited to
step behind a screen aud blush for her
self. Maine doesn't have anything 10
apologize for. It she bushes it is for very
10Y.

PINAL COUNTY REPUBLICANS.

The Platform Adopted by Their Re-
cent Convention.
We, the republicans of Pinal county
in convention assembled, hereby renew
our faith in the long time honorsd prin-
ciples of the republican party, that es-
sentially American party which has
stood for good government, untarnished
honor at home and abroad, in war and
in peace, and as delegates believing We
voice the sentiments and feelings of our
constituents, present the following plat
form for the careful consideration OF
every tax payer and voter in Pinal coun-
ty:
lst. We believe that home resources
and home industries should receive
careful recognition, bringing prosperity
to our own doors, and thus in working
from q common centre benefits How
alike to the masses; therefore We de-
mand prompt, positive and specific leg
isIation upon the water question, and
such modification OF existing irrigation
laws, that the consumer OF water shall
no longer be al the mercy OF water mon-
opoly, DO matter how styled.
ID. We demand legislation that shall
afford relief to cattle owners, that butch
er and cattle laws shall be codited so
that the depredations upon cattle herds.
which are manifest and Recognized, shall
cease, and full protection be afforded this
industry.
80. We believe the present rates OF
freight and passenger traffic ss levied by
the railroads of the territory are practi
cslly pronibitory, and force the pro-
ducer into involuntary copartnershlp
with such corporations, who enjoy the
profits hnd take none OF the risks; there
fore we do demand such suitable leRisla-
ton which shall remedy these existing
conditions.
4th. We believe that the tax payers
of this county have patiently submitted
to the wishes of the tax eaters sufficient
ly long, and hereby demand that our
representatives in the legislature shall
use their exertion IN behalf OF the en-
actment of new laws, and the moditica-
ton OF such former legislation, that
shall simplify the duties of the boards
of supervisors, in that they will remove
all am big uity, with view OF simplify
ing their duties and specially appertain-
ing to and bearing upon the matters OF
fees, perq uisities and duties OF county
officers; and further demand that our
boards OF supervisors etop all leaks in
county expenses, call halt on all kinds
of extravagances, and thus express the
belief that the local government OF Pinal
county need not again cost its heavy
burdened tax payers $4,000 per an
mum.
5th. We demand the unrestricted
coinage of gold and slver--whIch is
true bimetallism-at the existing legal
ratio Of l6 ounces of silver to l of gold,
and that it be made full legal tender
for all debts, public and private.
9Th. We favor protective tariff, one
that snail protect in every sense the
wages OF the American workingman and
artisan, ard as we'll protect the pro-
ducer whether be be a farmer, miner,
builder, manufacturer or stockmsn.
7th. We feel that Arizona has cause
to lament in that she is denied state
hood, and demand that our delegate in
congress "keep everlastiugly at it," that
this wrong, needlessly imposed, may be
quickly righted.

NOTHING NEW.

Everyone, long ago, has accepted as
true the old saying that There is moth
ing new under the SUM-" Our conditions
and surroundings may change, but their
changes seem to be nothing more than
a repetition of occurrences that have
taken place for sges. At recent mass
meeting of democrats in San Francisco
expression was given to sentiments
which were as thoroughly un-American
ia tone and sentiment as could be ex-
pressed In language. The warp and
woof OF the speeches were composed of
expressions like :hese: "Will you settle
this matter by the ballot or by the
swordf" "When the physical strength
of the classes is brought against the
physical strength of the masses the
former will be crushed like eggshells. "
"As in July, l776, the American people
adopted q document setting them free
from tho yokee and chains OF slavery
that they had borne hitherto, so in July
o. 1896 the American people had placed
before them q new Declaration OF
Independence, setting them free from
yokes and chains just as CALLING"
while the War OF Independence
brought upon our ancestors their Sara
toga, their Camden and the pangs OF
starvation and of upshod bleeding feet,
IN the end 1t brought to them their
Yorktown. So it may be in tnis new
war"
No better reply to these and all such
revolutionary ut;erances could be found
than the following from speech OF
Daniel Webster, delivered in January
1884, at time when the money question
was distorted ano twisted by demago-
CUES just as it is today for personal
political advantage. The gsest CON-
moner said:
Mr. President: Ga the great ques-
tions which occupy US We all look for
some decisive movement OF public
opinion. As l wish that movement to
be free, intelligent and unbiased, the
true manifestation OF the public will,

appeal, which l perceive is about to be
made to popular preJudice-another
attempt to obscure all distinct views of
the popular good by loud cries against
false danger. and by exciting the
passions of one class against another. l

In San Francisco, last Saturday,
preparations were completed to bury
Matthew Roach. The funeral process
sion was well on its way TO the cemetery
where the yawning grave was awaiting
its victim, when it was discovered that
the corpse WAS not Roach at all, but q
man, who resem bed him so closely
that Roach's forne- business associates
had no trouble in identifying him.
Roach was missing for sometime, but
instead of being a candidate for funeral
honcrs, was an inmate OF the hospital,
and has nearly recovered. The dead
body, supposed to be Roach's, was pick
ed up on the beach.

OfInterest to Bicycle Riders.

There can be no question that one
Of the most important parts Of bicycle
is the tire. 1t has to bear the brunt Of
the work. is constantly coming In con-
tact with destroying elements, and
generally receives the least care from
the rider. The Importance OF the work
it has to do was early recognized by
makers OF bicycles. however. and they
have given much attention to this i'm
portsnt adjunct of the wheel.
There are today, perhaps, thirty differ
ent styles of bicycle tires on the market,
sll OF which vary in detail. As to their
various merits, theories are of little
value; 8ciusl experience is the only way
to determine this question. Unless an
article gives fatlsfaction, demand for it
coon ceases. After test OF over six
years, during which time double-tube
and aingle-tube tires have been market
ed, at leest three-fourths OF ell the
riders IN this country today demand
Rud ride double-tube tires.
The Leading firm in the United States,
and in fact in the entire world, in the
mac lfacture OF double-tube tires. is
Morgan il Wright, Chicago. Their
history is interesting. The fine pneums-
tic tire-the rsgs-snd glue kind-was
giving trouble. and Morgan & Wright
stepped in to fill great public want.
They furnished o tire that could be
easily taken from the rim to be repaired.
That was the principal requirement in
those days, besides the usual require
ments of speed, durability and comfort.
That wss several years ago. Single
tube tires hsd been pushed in Europe,
and were failing, and the same effort
was being started in this country. The
Morgan & Wright deuble-tube tire
quickly proved its superiority with
the result stated above. The quick.re-
pair inner tube, which is this year a
standard feature of all of this firms
tires, has made the position of double
ube tires practically invincible, by
making it quick and easy for the riders
to secure, st the roadside, a permanent
repairs thing admittedly impossible
in the majority Of single-tube accidents.

The Bicycle Races.

Some very good riding was done at
Union Park this afternoon. The
crowd in attendance, however, was
small. Possibly too many other at
fractions would account for this fact.
The first event was y mile race

The next 3 mile juvenile race, won
by Seth Orndorff: Frank Smith second
and Jimmy Gordon third.
A "a mile handicap race for boys re-
