PLATFORM.
Adopted by the Democratic Convention of
Graham County.

Graham County.
We your committee on platform
and resolutions beg leave to submit
the following platform for adop-
ton by this convention.
1st. We the Democratic party
of Graham county, Arizona, in
convention assembled do hereby
reaffirm our faith in the long
established principles of the party
as declared by Jefferson, proc
laimed by Jackson and taught by
a long line of Democratic statesman
laboring for the common veal.
End Resolved further, that:
We accept and endorse the
National platform of the party
adopted at Chicago in July, 1896,
as one of the grandest and most
patroltic declarations of modern
times, plain in terms, fearless in
Expression and throughly Demo-
atlc in sentiment, it fervently
peals to the better judgement of
the intelligent masses of our land.
Bird Resolved that we earnestly
endorse the nomination of VIM. j.
Bryan and Arthur Sewall for
President and vice-president of the
u. s. and declare them worthy of
the enthusiastic support of all
voters of the country.
4th Resolved further that: We
especially declare ourselves in
favor Of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the long
established ratio OF l6 to l,
independent of the action of any
other nation on earth.
9th Resolved furthur that: We
are unitedly in favor of an income
tax law whereby aggregations of
wealth wrung from the hard hand
of toll may be made to bear just
preparation of the burdens of
government and thereby Tighten
the taxes borne by the common
masses Of our country.
9th Resolved further that; We
declare ourselves opposed to the

election will be safe guarantee
that the public funds will be strictly
accounted for and carefully gual d.
ed.
Wiley Il. jones, as a filing tribute
to the able services rendered the
people of Graham county, was
selected as District Attorney. He
has served the people in this capaci-
ty for the last four years, and an in
vestigation of the record he has
made is all that need be said or
done.
When he is elected for the third
time the peoples interests will be
as carefully guarded as they have
been IN the past. This county
never had a truer officer.
The recorders Office will be
filled for the next two years by
Pedro Micheleua. Mr.. Michelena
has served the people Of this
comfy on different occasions as
both an appointive and an elective
officer, and always rendered that
service in a way which was a
credit to him and his constituents
He will take pride in the record
ers office, and one wishing to in
spect the records can always do Sc
with no trouble at all under his
able management. He is a tax
payer, and an old resident of this
county.
W. W. Damron was selected fol
the Office of probate judge. Mr.
Damron is probably as we'll known
as any man in the county. Three
times has he been elected to public
trusts. Twice as treasurer and
once as probate judge, and each
time he acquitted himself honorably.
And in electipg him again to the
Office of probate judge and county
school superintendent, the people
are making no experiment but
simply doing honor to tried and
faithful official.
In the selection of supervisors
great care was exercised to select
representative men, men who had
been successful in their own affairs
men who are thoroughly com
petent to administer the public
affairs of this county and guarc
the welfare Of the people and care
fully expend their money, so as tc
do the most good to the greatest
number, and when II. G. Day and
David Matthews were selected a |.
this was secured.
This is a ticket of which the
Democrats of the county are
proud to present to the people fol-
their endorsement at the Novem
Der election, and in doing so are
confident of the success of the
party

THE CANDIDATES.

At the Democratic convention
last week, one of the strongest
tickets ever put before the people
Of Graham county for their consid-
Grafton was nominated and there
is no doubt as TO the election of
every nominee.
After careful deliberation more
than so representative Democrats
decided that Hon. Dan III. Ming,
of Ft. Thomas was the man
to head the ticket. Mr.. Ming is a
life long Democrat, a champion of
free silver and a representative
citizen, having lived and fought
the battle for civilization in this
country for more than 10 years.
When Mr.. Ming goes to the
council next winter he will be for
those measures first, last and all
the time, which are best caulculated
to promote the welfare of the
people of Graham county.
The two men selected for the
assembly have lived in this valley
for great number of years. Mr..
Skinner having served honorable
terms in the two last Legislatures
is of course, better known. He
served the people so we'll the first
time that they saw fit to re-elect
him, and his second term was no
less CONSPICUOUS for the amount of
good accomplished than was his
first, and the people have determln-
ed to send him back again.
Mr.. Rodgers is the embodyment
of honesty and integrity, thorough
ly competent, as was shown during
his service in the Legislature a
of years ago, to which
position he was elected from this
county, and it is only fting
tribute to the confidence reposed in
lim that he should be reelected to
he Legislature.
A better selection than Billie |
for sheriff could not |
nave been made. He is familiar
With the duties of that Office al
hough this is the first time he has
,ver been presented for an elective
,ffice. He is an old settler here,
laving been in the stock business
or years, and the people of Graham
county can rest assured that when
Mr.. Birehfeld is elected he will
erve them faithfully, taxes will
,e equitably assessed, with favors
hown to none, and the criminal
lasses will find Graham county an
Unhealthy place to live.
For treasurer no more COM
'etent or Trustworthy man could
ave been selected than Burwell B.
adams. A sterling Democrat,
thoroughly competent, a success
ul business man, and an old
esident of this county. He has
cted as clerk Of the District court
or about three years. He is
.ccommodating and a pleasant
to deal with, and his
