plete refutation OF the misrepresenta-
ton Of the platform adopted last
week:
"After the abolition Of the com
tract system by the constitutional
enactment, on account of the fact
that there was q great number OF
contracts which had previously been
entered into for the labor of convicts
for number Of years, no serious at
tempt WAS made to adopt the state
account plan until Hon. John P. Alt
geld, the present governor Of the
state, took his seat in the official
chair"
This report was signed by the fol-
lowing republican representatives:
William c. Aikens, Addison B. Hal
lock, James P. Fletcher, Edgar C.
Hawley and A. j. Olson. The COM
mittee was appointed to break down
the governors policy Of doing what
the republican governors from 1886
to 1892 had failed to do. Failing to
find the facts for an attack on him it
was compelled to drop the matter
with the above frank admission.
Then, too, when the governor
called the extra session of the legis-
lature he still had this convict labor
question in his mind and in the call
asked the republican legislature for
Legislation on the subject in these
words: The enactment of such
Legislation relating to the employ
ment OF the convicts Of this state
as will be an Improvement on the
81 stem now in vogue and will re-
lieve outside free labor of competi-
ton with labor without doing vio-
lence to the taxpayers, if such sys.
tenn can be devised"
He was thus not only in favor OF
doing away with the contract system,
but he urged the legislature to give
the state a system better than either
the contract system or the state &C
count plan. Now, with such 9
straightforward, honest, able and
conscientious record as that, we
should like to know how alleged
reputable republican leaders Car
stoop to such misrepresentation n:
they have done in their state plat
form. A republican committee o
the last legislature refutes in n
open report the charges of the plat
form and this refutation is based or
Gov. Altgeld's whole public record
on this important subject, a RECORD
that republicans as we'll as public
records prove. 1t is because o
such misrepresentation that John Z
Altgcld is enicared to the people.

Nor. INSTRUMENTATION.

The republican leaders of Illinois
have gotten so far along in their
policy OF Wholesale misrepresenta-
ton that they do not hesitate to
stoop to it even in state platform. In
their state convention they stopped
to this low misrepresentation:
I'VE arraign him" Gov. Altgeld)
for his failure to keep his ante
election promises To prevent the
competition Of convict with free
labor"
Now, Ms n matter Of fact. Gov. Alt
geld has bent all his energies to car
rying out his ante-clection promises
so far as the law would permit him
TO do 80 and the gentlemen who
wrote the above plank in the republic
can platform knew it perfectly we'll.
They also knew that although the
people in 1855 adopted n constitu-
tionsl amendment to do away with
convict contract labor the republican
state officials before the amendment
took effect sought to nullifv it by
making contracts for most OF the
convicts which ran TO October. 1894.
They knew. too, that the republican
party utterly ignored the will of the
people and failed to take any step To
carry the expressed will Of the people
into effect.
Gov. Altgeld on taking his seat at
once began to respect the will Of the
people MS expressed in the constitu.

KICKERs KIcKERINos AND KICKER
 fTOS.

The supporters of the east of socks and underclothing party of Nogales may be classified as 'kckers,F kick erlnos" and "kickeritos."
 The first named the "kickers"- are the four or five tax shirkers and dodg- CTS, who have kicked up all the bob bery miSled their fellow citizens into joining them to fight the town, and put the taxpayers to an unnecessary expense to an amount which would have paid the regular expense of the town nearly year
 The 'kickeruOs" are those who have been led oiT into this fruitless and ex- penslye folly by the four or five des- cribed in the preceding paragraph.
 The 'kickeritOs" arc those who are fighting the council under cover treacherously and secretly. They hung around the outskirts of the Citi- zens convention, and one of them was heard to say to one of the prominent "klckers;n "We'll just keep close and fight like hell against the council The same man has assured all the members Of the council of his support, but has done everything he could to make votes against them. Various are the causes for the attitude of these men. Some Of them are actu- ated by a personal feeling against one or more of the couucilmen; and to gratify that they would willingly sacrifice the public good Again some of them are playing for position in another and closely approaching political contest If the "kickers' win they will throw their hats into the air and say we did it' hoping thereby to acquire a prestige to use in the other contest. 1.-the council wins they will assert that they contributed, and try to play the harmony dodge asking q share in the coming distribus tion, because they stood in.1

 But this great gain to American in- terests in South Africa is d decided loss Co the same interests in Sonora, and while compimenting Colonel Rob- erts upon his advancement to the post of increased honor and emolument, the people Of Nogales cannot help re- gretting the change which takes him away.

MAYOR nrRRrRA's MESSAGE.

MAYOR HERRERA's MESSAGE.
 Any citizen and taxpayer who can
 read the message presented by Mayor
 Herrera in the columns of TIE OASIS last week and continue to support the
 "kickersn in their uncalled for fight against the municipality, is certainly possessed of mental strabismus and
 moral obliquity which are out of place
 in a modern community.
 Mr. Herrera effectively showed that the present council essayed and sue cesSfully executed the dinlcalt task of improving the sanitary condition of the town and extirpated small pox and diphtheria: and that to accom- plish that herculean work cost but a little more money than 1t did to de- fend the town against the machina- tions of the men who sought to have the courts intervene to prevent the council from obtaining the money necessary to secure the sanitary safety of the people of Nogales. Mir Her rera put it with remarkable clearness and appropriateness when he wrote that "of the sl665 expended by the council nearly eleven hundred dollars had gone to fight the three pests small poX, dlphtheria and the kicz- CTS" And the taxpayers can read in that message that while it cost but a fraction over five hundred and eighty dollars Go squelch the small pox and diphtheria, it cost nearly five hundred and two dollars to squclch the "kickers."
 And but four CT five men have done all this about two and one.half per cent of the total number of taxpayers. Had they kept still the other twenty two and one half per cent who have not paid would have as readily paid as did the seyenty-tiye per cent who walked up and settled their taxes without murmur.
 Now TIE OASIS does not believe that the citizens and taxpayers of No- gales win permit this little coterle of men to lead them to their own detriment. The very platform of the kickers shows the iusincerity of the leaders whatever may be the views of the rank and file The last resolution looks to a possible disincor- poration of the town. That is just what their leaders desire Co bring about, and they do not hesitate to say so in private. Mr. Pasaholy has re- gently so declared hlmself Messrs. Peck and w. N Cummings have both so declared themselves to the editor of TIE OASIS; and it has been the bur den Of the cry of MessTs W. \. Cum mings and T. F. Brown that the town is too small and has too little taxable to support town govern ment By a clear statement of what has been expended in q legal battle by the kickers, Mayor IIerrcras message has exploded all that All right minded citizens will agree that eXtirpation of small pox and diphtheria alone has been worth all of the Sl, ,G65 allowed by the council for all demands.
