POLITICAL FORECASTS.

Figuring out the probable result of the national election just now seems to be a pleasing pastime for politicians. The results vary to a great extent, depending upon the wishes of the man who does the figuring. McKinley's strength in the electoral college has been esti- mated as high as 292, with 57 vo;es doubtful. Bryan statisticians, on the other hand, make estimates of an almost equal majority for their faYorite. At this distance from the center of the warmest of the cam paign, it is difficult to form a correct estimate of the result, but from a close perusal of information given out by both sides. as we'll as from personal information from parties who have visited the east, very conservative estimate of the result, gives 2l0 electoral votes as absolute ly certain for Mckinley, and l55 as reasonably certain for Bryan, leav- ing S2 votes as doubtful. Of these S2, Mckinley will only need If to secure his election. while his chances for securing 29 of them are cer- tainly better than those of his or the election of Me Kinley there seems to be no reason able doubt at present.

MARk SMITHS INcoNsIsrENcr.

We understand that Mark Smith is pleading the baby act and trying to get votes through sympathy, on account of having been removed from office. When the facts are known relating to his removal, the small following he now has will probably desert him. It is charged that when he went to Washington to assist in the removal of Governor Hughes, he represented to Secretary Carlisle that the democrats of the territory were badly disorganized, and that if he could prevail upon the president 70 remove Hughes and put in a sound money democrat, he Mark Smith could take a sound money delegation from Arizona to the convention al Chicago, and harmonize the party in the terri tory.
 While President Cleveland aud Secretary Carlisle are not interier- ing with politics as a rule, (beyond giving expression 10 their honest views on the money question:, it is apparent that they will not tolerate deception, if reports be true.
 Fancy Mark Smith making silver speeches in the trritorv, after hay ing made the above representations to Secretary Carlisle.

The owner of q mining claim
 should consider we'll the importance of his vote at the coming election.
 What this section of Arizona needs
 more than any thing else at present
 is capital to develop our mines.
 Not only Is every prospector and every claim owner interested, but every miner has a personal interest n the election of delegate. as the more mines there are working. the greater the number of men who will find employment Capital, under the most favorable circumstances, is difficult to procure for investment in territory. The man. then, who stands the best show of securing statehood IS the man who will best serve the interests of the whole peO- pie, while to let it be known that populist has been elected as dele gate from this territory. would re- tard the development of our re- sources for years. No.better illus tration Is needed of this than a cir cumstance reported m a PheniX paper two years ago, when Buckley O'Neill was running for congress.
 He had been east for several months trying to interest capital m an en- terprise in the Salt river valley. After months of work, he succeeded in getting a gentleman to make a visit 'o Phenix for the purpose of Investigating the enterprise. It SO happened that on his arrival there, he heard Mir. O'Neill deliver speech, or chanced to read one of his articles or speeches, and the paper in question stated that the capitalist took his departure with out even making his investigation. If a single speech of a populist could have that effect, what must the election of a Populist as dele gate to congress have. And this, no; because il is Buckley O'Neilr as an individual, but as O'Neill, the PoPulist. There are many people who would like to vote for him per sonally, but who cannot afford to jeopardize their best interests by so doing. Let every man consider this question seriously and ask himself ii ne can afford to cast his vote for a candidate whose election would retard the growth ol the territory.

MT. pIIIon's Side.

J. r. Dillon, who was the subject of communication which appeared in the last issue of the JoURNGL- MINER, claims an injustice was done him in it, by the assertion that he was ejected from the hotel. He says such was not the case. MT. Hickey corroborstes this and states that while he did not eject him, he stepped between MT. Sanford and Mir. Dillol and said to the latter: This thing has gone far enough now, and l don't want any more of 1t in my house" and that deputy sher- if Mund then took Dillon by the arm and remarked, "come on Joe,' and they went out together. Mir. Dillon also denies having made any motion as if to strike Mir. Sanford. While the alleged discrepancies are very slight, MT. Dillon is entitled to the explanation.

COSsTANTINOPLE, Oct. &.-A report
 that trouble of a serious nature was
 brewing here has so often been sent
 out that any fresh announcement to
 that effect is looked upon as having
 little or DO foundation. but in spite of this 1t is but right to state once
 more that everything points to fur ther very serious trouble is preparing on all sides throughout the Turkish empire. The ball was set rolling Wednesday last, when the Sultan signed the two trades levying a poll tax of i've ,pisstres a head on all Mussulmaus and increasing the taxes on sheep, public works and educa- ton one to one and half per cent, the funds raised to be devoted to military purposes. This caused the representatives of the powers to send collective note to the Porte, couched in the strongest language, calling attention to the danger the armlng of Mussulmans was certain to create, and pointing out generally the critical situation of affairs in the Turkish empire. Large purchases of arms have already been made and the danger is increasing hourly. The Porte today sent reply to the col lective note of the ambassadors. As usual 1t was evasive.

True as Gospel.

The canvass of O'Neill during the previous and present election con vinced thinking people that he is one of the most gigantic humbugs that has ever sought AD office in Arizona, a man who stops at noth- ing in his efforts to mislead voters He Is farmer to farmers, a miner to miners and a gambler to the sporting world. Such q pretender is justly deserving of rebuke that will last him for the balance of his career. His shrieks of reform in the rural districts are painful in the light of history, but the people are fast becoming acquainted with the gentleman's professions of virtues, and are as fast preparing to admin ister severe political drubbing to this highly moral citizen.-Gazette.> :

o'NEILL's RECORD DISCUSSED.


 The PheuiX Gazette publishes the record of Buckey O'Neill as Il re gently appeared in the JoUsNAL- MINER and in discussing 1t editon ally, very pertinently says:
 The Gazette today publishes an article from the JoURNAL-MINER, Of Prescott, which, in many respects, is a remarkable document It Is a fact, a revelation, and puts to shame and flight the monstrouS claims of O'Neill as a 'reformer. This article will open the eyes of the farmers and miners of Arizona to the dou ble dealing of the man, and forever put a stop to his pretensions of run ming for congress in the interest of the people
 1t IS seldom that such sn expose ever follows candidate, especially a man who has so persistently lad claim to being s friend to the tax payer and sn enemy to politicians. The Gazette has known for years that Buckley was a pretender of the most pronounced type, but we con fess the record published by his home paper, surprised us as to its magnitude, as We did not suppose any living individual had cheek enough to go on the stump in the interest of reform in the face of such a record. Mir. O'Neill has pulled on the reform string so long unmolested, and had fooled the public So thor oughly, that he really began 10 believe that he was 8 reformer. The Gazette has no desire to discuss tLe record, but submits to the consid- erstion of the men of Arizona, whom he asks to vote for him for congress in the interest of reform, and if they think he is the kind of material that rsiormerS are made Of, why, vote for the gentleman, but We ask MT. O'Neill, m the name of common decency, to stop his ridic- ulous and presumptuous plea of reform and in the interest of the tax payers, as such a sham plea is sn insult to their intelligence. Tbe gentleman has 8 right to run for congress, and fool the people If he can, but he has no license or right to throw stones at reputable citi- zens standing on such a record as is shown by his sets of the past four teen years"

A Card.

To THE VOTERS OF YAvAPAI CoUNrY:
 On the campaign l have every. where said that Hon. C. P. Hicks, socially and as a business man, is an accomplished gentleman and that as an officer he IS ambitious and courteous. The point which make is against a principle advocated by him and not against the man. When an officer advocates a principle which is detrimental to the school system and uses the machinery of his offie for that purpose, I take the position that the man in control of such machinery should be an advo- cate of just and liberal school laws.
 What 1 do say IS that in his last report to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, he made the following recommendation The efficiency of schools could be in- creased by amending the law in relation to the number Q! children required on petition for a new school district, making the number correspond with the average that is required to keep up a daily average attendance of eight pupils for five months, WHICH AVERAGE IS ABOUT FIFTEEN IN THIS COUNTY.
 If such law were to be enacted it would prevent the isolated mining and agricultural districts from form ing new schools under existing con

This is a time of national peril, when the very existence of the nation hangs in the balance says our contemporary. The only peril threatened our nation is that of electing a democratic president and of being subjected to another four years of democratic misrule. Even this peril is now very remote. as
 patriotic men of all parties are rallying to the support of Me Kinley in the interest of the nations honor and the perPetuity of our free institutions.

pr. Ford, chairman of the repub- lican territorial committee. and Judge Armstrong, chairman of the Maricopa county republican com mittee, yesterday nailed the Ga zette's little scheme to gain sym pathetic votes for its pet, Marcus Aurelius Smith, on the grounds that he had lost his position, etc, in a very neat manner. On the announce ment by the Gazette, they at once forwarded a telegram Co the chair man of the republican congressional committee in Washington. who pro- ceeded to investigate, and found that the whole thing is a hoax. That Ellinwood had tSlegraphed Attorney General Harmon in the matter, who replied that Smiths case was a parallel of the Clayton case, but that there were no com plants against smith, and he would not remove Smith without further information. Smith, therefore, has Hot been removed as announced by the Gazette, nor is it likely that EllirwoOd intended that he should be removed, but that he should make political capital for Smith and work the sympathy racket cn the people of the territory. In the it looks as though Ellin- wood had got himself into a hole in attempting to work snide scheme on the people of the terri tory.-Phenix Herald.

 My failure to be present at such times and places was due to the fact that l have been under treatment by Drs. Purman and Martin at their private hospital, viz: The Alhambra. at Phenix, Arizona. for ulcerated sore throat, and under their advice l was compelled to avoid speaking in public.
