w. H. Burbage'

We are pleased to announce the nom- ination of w. H. Burbage for the office District Attorney of Navajo County. We predict his election by as good 8 majority, comparatively, as he receiv- ed at the last election.
 Mir. Burbage fulfilled the duties ol the office in this county Tn a manner which has never been excelled, always alert to the best interests of the tax payers, never failing in wise and con- sistent advice in all matters pertaining to the county government.
 As business manager of the HERALD, and as Commissioner of Immigration, his sound judgment has ever been at- tended with success, being an old resi- dent and taxpayer the voters of Maya jo county should give him their univer- sal support.

THE Democratic ticket nominated last Tuesday is one we can we'll be proud of. and should receive the hearty support of every democrat and every voter who favors just and economical administration of our county affairs. The candidates are all representative citizens and tax payers, who have per- sonal interests as we'll as the interests of the county at stake. Every faction and section received fair and just con- sideratlon. A feeling of good will pre- vailed, and all little personal quarrels were amicably settled. There will be no rusty butcher knives dug up this fall, but every mau in the party will work faithfully for the success of the ticket. Our enemies are astute and cunning and will try all kinds of schemes to break into our ranks. Do not let them fool you. We have got to fight hard to win, but if every man in the party will take the interest which he owes to himselfin the cause of good government we are sure to elect almost the entire ticket.

THE OUTLAWS.
MORE TROUBLE ON THE LINE.
Two Bandits Killed at Las Palomas.

1 | For the last several days many ru- mors of the whereabouts of the No- gales bank robbers have floated about. However, when these rumors are traced to some reliable source. it is found that with every repetition the story was ex- agerated beyond belief.
 The robbers having become cognizant of the fact that the sheriff's posse have returned, and they are coming from thelr mountain businesses and becom- ing bold. have sent word to different parties that they were about to start an annihilation bee, and portion of the the county was to be depopulated. Blsck Jack has a special grievance against Sheriff Fly, among other things, because the sheriff has the favorite horse of that noted parsonage and rides him on all occaslons.
 Should the robbers become too ven- turesome it IS needless to say they will be given an opportunity to brush with posse as the officers are constant ly on the lockout and are kept posted. One report circulated is to the effect that the other robbers chased into Mex lco have joined the two near Mud Springs, and, with several other roman tic cowboys who have since joined them it is feared they contemplated hold up of an s. P. train-the band now numbers twelve we'll armed cowboys. Apparently the s. P. anticipate such an attempt as they have increased the guard on the division.
 LATER.-Oficla advices received by the Mexican Consul at Deming, from Mexican custom house officers at Las Palamos, give the particulars of the raid upon the custom house there Mon- day by a band of armed men, number Ing about fifty in all. The bandits were resisted by the custom house off. cers and guards. The battle lasted sev- seven hours. Two of the bandits were killed, two of the Mexican employees at the custom house were mortally wound ed and several slightly wounded. The bandits were finally driven of and re- treated across the line into New Mexico and last night encamped in the Forida Mountains, about ninety strong. Gov. Alum ada, of Chihuahua, has troops en route to Las Palamos. The white men III the gang are supposed to be the leaders of the border bandits recently chased by the United States Marshal and his troops. Robbery is supposed to be the motive. although it is claimed that it is the result of the border agit- ation by the supporters of Santa Tere- sa. The custom house force numbered twenty-five men.-Prospector.

It is reported on good authority that the government of Mexico has made 8 requisition on the United States au- thoritles at Washington for the extra dztion of Santa Teresa and her father, Tomas Urea. on the charge of melting the recent trouble at Nogales, and be- ing parties to the fight and the robbery.
 We do not believe the United States wlll honor the requisition of the Mexi- can Government in this matter, and de- liver up these innocent parties to be sacrificed to blind prejudice. malice and bigotrV.

Apache COunty's Resolution on
 Finance Adopted.

PHGNIx, A. T. Sept. 22.-The Repub- llcan Convention of Arizona was in session today at Phenix. The silver men were decidedly in the minority and in the caucus were so outnumbered that the action on the platform was practically unanimous. The platform assails the record of the democratic party, warmly advocates statehood, comments the labors Tn congress of Delegate Murphy, advocated a tariff for protection, particularly upon wool. and upon finance has the following:
 "We endorse the national republican platform as enuIciated at St. Louis without any reservation whatsoever. While we believe in bimetalisn, we be- lieye the republican party is the only true friend of silver aud will legislate in such a manner as will be favorable to the coinage of silver without dis turbing the business interests of the country. We regard the silver plank in the democaatic platform as subter- fuge, invented to confuse the people and divert their attention from the true issues before them in this cam palgn, which is legislation on the tar if question"
 The resolutions were adopted amid great applause, on y two votes being cast in the negative.
 For candidates for delegate to con- gress, T. w. Johnston, of Yavapai, nominated A. J, Doran, and Col I. F. Wilson. of Pima, nominated l. T. Stod- dard. The result of the vote stood as as follows: Doran, 63; StOddard, 39. Doran was then declared the unani- nous choice of the convention.-Ex.

There are several kinds of campaign bugs this year, viz:
 The Is to l men are silver bugs, the prohlbitionists waterbugs, the women suffragists lady bugs, the sound money men goldbugs, and the mugwumps are humbugs.-Chicago Tribune.

In this campaign of education few seem inclined to go to the geldbug school. The masses are for silver and thev know they are right. Those of of them who do not yet know why they are right are busy finding out. When the gold advocate honestly sets about discovering why heis right he becomes a free silver man in a very short time.
