TELLER FELT LONELY.

A Chicago telegram of October l5 says; The particulars of breezy passage between Senators Jones, of Arkansas, and Teller, of Colorado, have just come to light.
 Senator Teller came here Thurs day night to speak at the free silver meeting which was arranged by the Popocratic committee to take place al , o'clock at Tattersalls, in hopes lt might draw a crowd from the big parade. Senator Teller was adver- tised as the principal speaker, and Jones depended upon him to draw the crowd, At 9:3O o'clock Senator Teller had breakfast and was in fine spirits. At 10 o'clock be saw the assembling hosts of republicans. Then he saw the hotel crowded with his old colleagues aud party workers. IL made him blue and Respondent. The parade started and as the first band passed the hotel it was playing The Red, White and Blue, Union Forever" When the sound fell on Mir. Teller's ears, he grew pale. It was the same tune the band playtd d as he marched out of the St. Louis convention, followed by his few sup porters..
 The Colorado Senator stopped talking to friend, and. as the band played on, tears came into his eyes, and he completely broke down and went 10 his room. It was too much for him.
 At noon he sent word 10 Senator Jones that he was too Ill to speak at the silver meeting. Jones got the message, and flew into a rage. He came over and stormed and iumed with Mir. Teller, but the Senator refused to speak. Then Jones tried 10 ma some oue To take hlS place. There was no one in town. and Jones had to go to the meeting himself and make the speech. No one missed Teller. for there were few at the meeting and they did not pay much attention to Jones. At lunch tune Senator Teller was wall auOuOh to leave his room and go to lunch and he spent the afternoon and evening with old time republicans, for silver men were scarce. The refusal of Teller to speak at the meeting, after he had been adyer- tised for days, made Jones very angry with Teller, and there was another lively scene when tn sy again met

SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE CONSID-
 ERATION OF JOUR MARX"
ICoNNUNICATED. l

CONMUNICATED.
 Marcus Aurelius Smith, of Cochise, Pima and Maricopa counties, is the nominee of the office holding branch of the democratic party of Arizona.
 He Is the special candidate of the federal treasury wing of that com bine of which Secretary Carlisle is the chief, and the accepted mouth piece of Cleveland. His affiliations while in congress, it is alleged, have always been with the gold wing of his party.
 He has been, and is now consid- cred, a doubtful quantity on the money question, and yet he claims to be, and is masquerading as the special champion of free silver.
 Heintroduced and carried through congress the Arizona funding bill, which makes the territorial indeb.- edness payable in gold for the next fifty years. Was this in the interest of free silver, or of Wall street, which he now so loudly proclaims againsti
 He Is crying out against the bill leasing school lands. Has he for gotten the bill he introduced during his second term in congress, proyid- ing for the leasing of university lands, but on account of the fight of the press against what was then known as the Zulick- Smith scheme, the bill was smotheredf
 Why was It that while the settlers of Southern Arizona were fighting | for the creation of the land court, Smith did all in his power to defeat | the same, and did succeed in elimin- hating Arizona from the provisions of the bill, and at the next session of | congress, Arizona was again incor- porateC in the law, but only against his most violent protest, and yet, in the face of this, he expects the farmer of Maricopa, Graham, Pinal and other counties, which had been covered with these fraudulent land grants (which this same court has so declared) to support him for re- election. Had his views and efforts been respected, the land grant barons, especially Reavis, would have still been threatening the set tiers with his monumental fraud.
 How can Smith face his record on the Wham robbery case, and claim the suffrage of any honest man or citizen of Arizonaf For, be it re that while he was dele gate in congress, and as such dele gate was sworn to uphold the laws and the constitution of the United '

In the face of this record, is there an unbiased and intelligent man, who has the welfare of the territory at heart, who can accept his present declarations as sincere, or who can conscientiouSly give their support to him for the responsible position ot delegate to congress7
 Is 1t not apparent to all that his present utterances are as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, simply the utteranees of political dems- gogue, who, having lived for four teen years as parasite on the pub lie, desires still further to retain his hold on the public treasuryi
 Who can fail to realize the incon- sistency of his record, with his pres ent denunciation of the "criminally extravagant and wasteful manner in which the finances of Eavapai coun- ty have been m:smanaged in the pastf'
 If there has ever been an official m Nayapai county who has extracted from the "toiling masses the mag nifcent sum obtained by him dur ing the two years he was sheriff, We have failed to find a record of it.

A few remnants is all that will be l.; of t4e 2opulist party after cleo ion.
 Senator Butler, who is managing the Populist campaign, is only 8 years old.
 Buckley O'Neill is making 6 "cir- cular' campaign. Buckley always was stuck on open letters.
 Tom Watson is just commencing to realize that he has not been trested fairly during the campaign.
 According to the latest informa- ton, Jerry Simpson IS booked for another certain defeat.
 It is evident from the announce nent that Senator German will take the stump for Bryan that Bryan has paid the price demanded by Cor man.
 And now the popocrats have been convicted of putting words in Pres ident Lincoln's mouth which he never uttered. And yet honest men are asked to vote that ticket.
 Bryan accepted the populist nom nation all right, but he didn't sc- ceps Tom Watson. Who would blame Tom Watson for refusing to accept Bryant
 The popocrats are advertising their alleged lack of funds with a persistency which convinces most people that they have money to spend for corrupt purposes.
 A. J. Dorsn is the true friend of the masses of Arizona, and miners and working men should rally to his support. No man need be afraid that Honest Old Jim Dorau will ever betrsy the interests of the working man.

The contention has been made that MT.

Note the significant coincidence m the above figures between the tax roll of the county and Mir. ONeill's individual assessment. The assessment reached its high water mark, according 10 his figures, in 1890. IL will be noted

Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1896-10-21

Right hero 1t will be we'll to note another significant coincidence. That in the year 1890, when the county's tax roll reached its high water mark and Bucky O'Neill's In- diyidual assessment reached its high water mark, he also reached high water mark on his raid on the county treasury.
 During the two years which he was sheriff he drew from the county treasury a snug little fortune, or the magnificent sum of S38, ,S45. .97.
 How many of the ''toiling masses" of this territory, for whom he ex- presses such profound sympathy and commiseration, have been able to secure such a prineely sun within a period of two years, by the sweat of their browi
 But the above sum does not repre- sent the entire amount which he has received from the people. It only the sum received direct from the county treasury and direct from the tax payers of the county for criminal business. The civil business of our county affords a handsome revenue to the sheriff, for mileage, the service of papers, and other fees. Just how much this amounts to there are no means of as the accounts are kept with the individual litigants and do not appear on the public Some parties, we'll posted n such matters, and who have had

that his individual assessment also reached high water mark the same year His individual assessment de- clined in about the same ratio that the county tax roll did, until the yeac 1883. when the former not only touched low water mark, but like waters in many an Arizona stream, it sank beneath the sands and dis appeared from view entirely.
 While his name does not appear on the tax roll, MT. O'Neill has the reputation of being as comfortably fixed at least, if not more so, than be has ever been at any previous time duuug his residence here.
 The aggregate of his assessments during the seven years his name appeared on the assessment rolls, or during the entire fourteen years residence in this county, 1t will be seen amounts to S5,209, and the total taxes paid, the rate being three per cent, for these years have amounted 10 Sl5I71 or an average of Sll.27 per year during all these fourteen years.
 Just think of the onerous burdens which have been imposed on this ambitious and aspiring statesman! Just think of the expressions he has suffered during all these years. Why. to be compelled to pay,ELEvEN DOLLARS AND TwENTY-sEvES CENTS A YEAR, just for the privilege of living in Arizona, IS enough to lmpel any man to run for congress.
 Query-How long would 1t take Yavapai county to pay those r. X A. (. bonds, of which Mir. O'Neill SD touchingly speaks, if all her citizens could so successfully dodge taxes as hel AgsIn. NIT. O'Neill has spent considerable time in figuring out the approximate ultimate amount oi these bonds. Can anyone figure out how mnch of them he will pay ai his presen, rate of taxationi
