 the A. < P. Governor Franklin. it
 will be remembered, was the Ameri- can consul 10 Pekin few years ago. This should not be construed. how ever, as a proposition of Greek meet jug Greek.
 The Gazette says a democratic legislature will fix freight and fare bill this winter. They usually do fix such thing. 4 Yavapai Coun- cilman tried that once, and succeed ed in influencing only himself.
 Phenix proposes to have 6 big silver talk, in which such sledge- hammer hitters as Smith, HerndoB, Barnes and others will appear. It will be very nice to see our John and Marcus working in the same harness for once.
 Judge Hawkins name now and then bobs up for delegate to con gress from some lonely corner of the territory. But the echo of it is not permitted fo travel very far, and is soon muZzled by the Marcus sand
 bsggers of the south.
 4 southern Arizona paper says that Mark Smith fills the bill" for delegate. We agree with that sheet. From his great inactivity for eight years, it's about the only blil be ever did fill, or has filled for the territory. In other words, Mark fills his own bill" when asked to step up. That's about all that can be said of him.
 The national executive committee of the populist part Peremptorily refuses to withdraw Watson from the ticket. h order to get populst support for Bryan. the democrats seem to have determined to let Sewsll take care of himself.
 The Ross family in this county are looming up in a political way. W. W. Ross has announced himself as a candidate for treasurer before the democratic convention. H. D. Ross, register of the land office, is in the race for district attorney on the same ticket, while John s. Ross is being spoken of as republican candidate for sheriff.

 A very prominent democrat of this section Is said to be turning his hide inside out on the candida cy of straight out and out silver democrat of the purest hue, snd is dealing in Rourke Cochran tactics of the worst order.

The terri torial symbol of democracy on that should be, fl the governor carries out his high aims in cineh- ing the convention, a big hog fat tened on the national weed of Salt River.
 The Williams conyention, it is said, will be the scene of a Bryan orstoricSl outburst that will lay in the shade any "crown of thorns or cross of gold" chestnut, and that the governor of Arizona will be the | one to electrify the populace on | Smiths candidacy. He is stuck on | Marcus.
 John Dunbar, who has held the reins indisputsbly as the ''terror of | Arizona journalism it is said, will | sever all connection with the Ga zette of Phenix, and retire to a field | where politics figure not, but where le can rake those meadows sweet with hay and wrestle against mos luitOes instead of fighting the issues ,f the ins or the outs.
 Democratic bolts are getting to 'e very common, and from the ap- of things the Williams onvention is likely to catch the yave and split itself in two over the of Mark Smith. Ari- ona democracy want DO 'cross of old" in theirs in the shape of Mark ,mith.
