A WORTHY TRIBUTE.

Hon. c. M. Frazier is a warm friend of the newspapers. He was called upon to speak at the Young Mems Re- publican meeting and among other things, said:
 "One of the principal causes that has led up to Ithe fact that this country of ours is recognized as the champion of liberty is the free and untrammeled press which this republic has ever maintained. Newspapers are the great educators of people. Schools are for children, but newspapers teach men and women and they cram knowledge down our throats whether they will or not. The official who dares try to muzzle the press occupies office but once and is disgrace ito his country"

A PRECONCERTED PLAN.

The plan adopted by the bolters in Maricopa county has become quite prevalent in the southwestern states since the visit of Clarkson to the Pa ciic coast. The edict has gone out that Mckinley must be defeated at all hazards He must be defeated even if the party is destroyed. Of course no loyal Republican would engage in such disreputable business, but Clarkson seems to have selected his men with care and so far his instructions have been carried out to the letter.
 In all cases where there have been bolts, Rpubhcans have been selected to do the work whose record as Re- publicans would not stand close tn- spection; but so long as the end is ac- complished it matters little to the conspirators who their tools were. How far the bolters will go in Ari- zona remains to be seen. But one thing is sure, the real Republicans are in the battle to a finish and the finish will not even be at St. Louis. The

ENEMIES A RECOMMENDATION

Allison and other opponents of Mo Kinley urge that he should not be nominated because he is friendly to the silver cause That may be good argument against Mckinley in the east, but it will hardly answer the pur- pose in Arizona.
 If Mckinley is for silver he is the man the people of Arizona want That Allison is against silver is generally understood and that his principal SUD- porters in this city are goldbugs is also understood.
 The people of Arizona want Nc Kinley and silver, as the political pi- rates will discover before they are through with the bolt which they have organized for the purpose of defeating McKinley.

The Republicans of Tempe are not bolters and they will refuse to recog nize the call issued by the trump con- mittee.
 That the feeling of the Republicans of Tempe might be ascertained with reference to the matter a mass meet ing was held Saturday night. The meeting was called by the members of the committee for that precinct and also by the two inspectors. It was stated in the call for the meeting that its object was to discuss the question of the two conventions and decide which of them was regular The at tendance at the meeting was very large and when a vote was taken only eight favored the trump convention. All the others voted ito sustain the reg ular primaries to be held on the 10th and the regular convention to be held on the 18th.
 During the day the bo,ters had em- issaries in Tempe working up senti- menit for the trump convention, but the tried and true Republicans of that place refused to allow themselves to be made tools of and will send no dele gates to the trump convention. At Mesa and in other precincts on the south side the same feeling pre- | vails, although no formal action has been taken. But it is understood by all the leading Republicans in those precincts that no attention will be given ito the bolters' primaries. The Republicans of the south side under stand the situation fully and the bolt CTS are unable to coerce them as they are the farmers on this side of the river.
 It is Likely now that the bolters will attend the regular primaries and abandon the trump scheme. Of course lthere can be no objection to this course but it becomes the duty of tlhe Repub- licans who have remained firm from the beginning to see that they are con- ducted fairly and that the bolters are permitted to introduce none of the bulldozing tactics for which they are famous.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits."

JUSTICE OR A SCHEME?
Inspector Phepix Precinct.

At the committee meeting held on the 25th of March under a regular call by the chairman, the question of ap portionment of delegates ito the county convention was fully discussed and considered.
 The plan of passing the representa- tion on the vote of N. o. Murphy for congress was considered along with the plan of passing the representation on the vote of H. E. Kemp for the council
 sidered the two propositions of ratio whether it should be upon one for every twenty votes and fraction thereof of fifteen, or upon a ratio which would increase the representa- tion outside of the city of Phoenix and decrease the representation of the city precinct
 On these questions vote was taken and votes counted, standing with result of 23 to 17.
 Twenty y-three of the committeeman voted for the plan and representation as published in the call of Chairman McCord for primaries and convention, and seventeen voted for the plan as proposed by the Improvement com pany committee
 Under the rule in American delibera- tive bodies, ought not that vote to have settled the question? Does not ma jority vote settle a question against everybody except insurreotionists? AS to whether representation is based on Murphy vote or on Kemp vote is of little importance, for tGa Kemp vote was larger than the Mur- phy vote in the country, as well as in the city, and in all the precincts ex-
  cept Tempe and Mesa. In those two places it was the same
 The city gave S63 votes for Kemp and 768 for Murphy-or ninety Live more for Kemp than for Murphy. The country precincts (not including Tempe and Mesa) gave BPS for Kemp and 273 for Murphy, or fifty-five more for Kemp than for Murphy. It must be evident that the Improve menit company did not secede because of any injustice in that plan. Look now at the number of Republican votes of the various precincts. | Phoenix gave S63 votes for Kemp,
Arizona republican., 1896-04-07

Tempe 233, Mesa 62, and all the other twenty three precincts combined, BPS, which added to Tempe and Mesa, gave 623. ..e s...
 On this vote the regular committee gave the city forty three represent ative to the county convention and all the other precincts lthirrty-seven, to each precinct one representative whether it had fifteen votes or mot, which rule al lows eleven precincts having less than fifteen votes to send each a repre- sentative.
 We will have to look beyond the vote to explain the insurrection and ito dis cover why the Improvement company committee took eleven representatives from the city and gave ten of them to the county and threw one away.
 The change made was to give the county forty-seven instead of thirty seven and the city thirty-tWo instead of forty-three, making the convention of seventy-nine representatives in stead of eighty.
 Tempe with the same vote for Mur- phy as for Kemp lost one and Phoenix o11 of the county com bined, gets fifteen representative less. Did the Improve men company call the rump con- mittee together out of their sense of justice or to work through a scheme?
