BRYAN? NO!

MT. Bryan has been teleraphing to
 the newspapers again. His latest ef- fort is to The Examiner of San Fran cisco. and starts off by this statement:
 T have DO doubt of my election and I
 base my confidence upon the fact that the free coinage sentiment is growing every day." It may be growing every day, but not Bryanwards. When MT. Bryan began his campaign he was doubtless the idol of thousands. On his first speechmaking trip he was ac- companied by a number of party lead CTS. After the New York speech they all got themselves home as quick as possible and seem to have dropped from sight. The voice of the sincerest of the white metals friend, Silver Dick Bland, is not being heard in this cam paign. Even Senators Stewart and Teller seem to have sUbsided. Vice President Stevenson was the latest to bob up, but the one telling hit that he has made was when that platform broke down with him in Iowa the oth- CT day and the fact was telegraphed broadcast. Even here in Phoenix  there is another striking example, in the present territorial treasurer, who has been a 4ffeIong Democrat and fol

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

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 a 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 a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits."

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Mesa Free Press: There is some little talk again about the extension of the s. F., P. & F. road to Tucson and Cal abasas. All these railroad lines serve to open up the country and insure its development. There is much mineral country contiguous to the line of this road and the development of the min eral veins woul dbe largely accelerated by the construction of this line.
 Tucson Citizen Under the new man agement ithe Phoenix Republican will from now on be Republican in policy as we'll as in name It will be val uable addition to the ranks of Repub- licamism in the territory, and can be depended upon to fight on straight Re publican lines. The National ticket appears in its proper place in the issue of Sunday morning.
 Tucson Star: Now we may expect a red4hot Republican journal in the Phoenix Republican as it has been severed from the Democratic flesh pots.
 Prescott Journal Miner: An exchange says that "ithe only part of Bryan that belongs to the 'toiling masses is his mouth" In this he is not unlike Want Office O'Neill, alias "Buckey.''
 
 Tucson Citizen: Phoenix Democrats must be bad lot They are certainly i'm sorrowful straits when they canno either decently listen to an opponen, or stay at home The exhibition they made of themselves on the occasion O. MT. Johnston's speech the other even ing would not be excusabGe upon any other ground than that they were "Phoenix Democrats"
 Tombstone Prospector: The candi dates for county offices are springin, up in all directions and the people wil soon have an opportunity to inspect a handsome and willing lot of patriot as the widest imagination could paint Thus far a number of most excellen gentlemen have been mentioned ant there are more to come.

A PATRIOTIC STAND.

Indiana is one of the doubtful states which Bryan organs have lately been declaring would go for free silver" Upon what authority these claims are based has not appeared, but probably upon the same authority as all their financial arguments. Chas. L. Jewett is a prominent Democrat of this doubt full state, Indiana, has been chairman of the state committee, led his party to victory many times and as a legis- lator was stalwart and potent leader. He is, however, a patriot who loves his country above his party. Accordingly, he cannot support the Populist-Dem- ocrats, neither can he throw his vote away on the Palmer and Buckner com bination when the Nation is passing through time of trial. In closing a recent speech at Columbus, Ohio, he explained his position as follows:
 "To my mind the future prosperity of this great Nation will be most sure l ly reached by system of sound money
 a tariff sufficient to produce revenue adjusted in the interests of our own citizens, and a vigorous foreign policy
 which shall make reciprocal trade not only an advantage to US, but @ neces- sity to all our neighbors upon tihe American continent and among tht western seas. Such a policy will
 carry the flag and the commerce O.
 Our country around tine world. Al

 it now stands for all these things. I

made great sacrifices to do so. It sac rifced the support of states rather than retain them at a price which it scorned to pay. Laying aside old quarrels, forgetting old differences and coming with unbiased minds to con sideration of present emergency, it must be admitted by candid men that, either from choice or through force of circumstances, tlhe Republican party today struggles for the best interests of the American people Its platform is distinctly upon the questions that are now agiating the public mind. Its candidates manfully accept that plat form in all its integrity, and stand to- day for that which is most laudable in politics, most conducive to the public peace and the preservation of the pub lie honor. At least, believe these things; and, so believing, give to this party my vote and cheerful support. I do not overlook the tremendous price which every man pays who prefers his country to his party, and who allows his patriotism to come between him and his formed political associations. It means that he must abandon all hope of political preferment, and for ever lay his ambition upon the altar oi his country. Those who are not will 1 ing to make such a sacrifice may fol low their own course; I have chosen mine. Believing that, SO long as pres. ent conditions exist that it is the duty of every patriotic man to support the
 Republican party and its candidates
 I will do so cheerfully and without the
 slightest regard ito personal conse
 quences. May you do likewise. w,
 will march to the music of the Union
 and our high purpose shall be ons ] country and one flag, now and for ever"
 These words by MT. Jewett will b,
 approved of by every owner of prop
 erty in this broad land no matter t.
 what party they belong. His position
 is that of every country loving citize1 who believes in the perpetuity of tn Union and the extinction of clas hatred. His influence is great in hi
 own state and will make itself fel
 during the remainder of this campaign
Arizona republican., 1896-10-07

A Democratic campaign orator in a recent speech at Tempe laid great stress on the theme that the interests of lArizona came before everything else. That if free silver would make Arizona prosperous the balance of the Union could take care of itself. This may be good campaign ammunition but we doubt if free silver would do Arizona good if it brought about a National panic, besides, does not this doctrine dangerously resemble that taught by John c. Calhoun?
Arizona republican., 1896-10-07

years a prominent mining man. He made one free silver appearance and then appeared no more. MT. Bryan's vote-making qualities can be best de- termined by the election results in cer- tain New England states. The Boston Post, rabid anti Mckinley sheet, has this to say in a recent issue:
 ''Mr. Bryan may be badly managed. The energy expended in his eastern tour unquestionably has been wasted so far as practical political results are concerned" No one who has care fully read the papers lately will doubt this.
 MT Bryan is yet young, he has been dazzled by the crowds that have gath cred to hear him speak. These gather ings, however, are hkened unto those that always greet a circus. Americans are curious if nothing else, but they are also intelligent, they respectfully listen to the flow of words, but know that they are not words of wisdom. An extremist will always have followers, but demagogue's reign is short. Be- fore his nomination, an extremist, MT. Bryan has rapidly descended danger ously near Debsism. That explains the quietness of the best men of his party. That is why there is lack of Democratic sinews of war. The great 1 agricultural class which is the back bone of this Nation, will not risk the keeping of their homes in the hands oi this man. The laboring masses know that his doctrines are dangerous to their welfare. The platform upor which he stands assails the very foun. | dation of all government, and the safety of wealth. It has taken but { l few weeks to come to full realization of the danger of all this. The Repub lican campaign managers wisely de cided in the beginning to give MT Bryan plenty of rope. This cours, was the very best that could have beel adopted Many pronounced free silve advocates, residents of Arizona, wh, have gone east this year, have returne' convinced of the error of their ways Because a person is not Popocrat 0 a Lunycrat it does not follow tha they are goldbugs. Republicans ar i not goldbugs this year any more tha any other year. The Republican part has always done all that has ever bee
 done for the white metal and are it only true friends yet. Major McKinle has always been a bimetallist. No on
 believes for a moment in the exclusiv use of any one metal as none.
 Republicans of Arizona, be not afraid

 Jr., will be the next president and wit

The Kansas City Star says: An other plutocrat has joined the McKin- ley ranks. He is J. J. Hagerman, a millionaire Colorado mine owner. The discovery that he is a plutocrat was not made until he refused to contribute to the free silver Democratic cam paign fund.

 MT. T. B. Wiley, 146 Chambers St., New York City, says that Ayers Sar- saparilla cured him of dry and scaly thumor, from which he had suffered in- tolerably. He adds: T have not now a blemish on my body, and my cure is wholly due to Ayers Sarsaparilla."
 Constipation is usually habit of the body induced by prolonged inattention to the calls of nature. It is condi- tion so perilOus to the general health, ! that it should be relieved as speedily, but judiciOusly, as possible. People who have allowed themselves to be- come costive and irregular usually try f to remedy the evil by the use of violent purgaives, and the result is that the bowels become weakened and the dis order all the more difficult of cure. The medicine best calculated to pro- duce natural movement and at the same time to strengthen the bowels, is Ayers Pills. When taken according to directions, the result is always bene- ficial A few doses gently stimulate the bowels to healthy action, restore their lost tome, and promote easy evac- nations. No other pill so well supplies the demand of the general public for a safe, certain, and agreeable family medicine. Physicians recommend them. They received the highest awards of the Chicago Worlds Fair Commissioners.
