A NICE CROWD or RrrrnLIoANs.

Oyerwhelminglya silver precinct this morning and figures and figures but fnrgets Co compare the HerndOn- DNeill majority uf 1891 over Murphy with the Smith-0' NeiIl majority Of 1896 over DOran. In 1891 the combined majority over Murphy was 520 and it is admitted. that the silver question did not influence the vote. In ls96 the cumbined majority over DOran k lUsj. an increase ut i9 votes over the llerndnn-O' \vll vote, and that in- crease indicates tle strength of the silver sentiment in Arizona, admit ting. as our cutempurary must, hat the old influences Of 1891 were just as potent in lSy6 as they were then and lu fact soiIie of them were vastly more >O. For Instance the entire A. r. \. vOic Of lle territory, not actively par t~an in 1891. entered into the contest This inc anG cast its vote for smith ipnnG ln the Pima county and Cuehisc ,punIy 70 C, where nc secret iS made nf hat fact That vote alone accuunt> for the j9i increase on smith. Phn. nix Herald.
 I he last three sentences above show whut the A. P. A. outfit has done for the republican party in tlfc territory. And it also shows that republicans outside Of Pima county are "0nto the combination. It is justas TIE OASIS asserted before the election As now run in Pima county the al- legged republican party is not the republican party: it is the A. F. A. party. And when tue X. F. A. can not dominate republican cOnyen- iion and control the nominations 1t does not hesitate to slaughter the tirket. The way Doran has been served illustrates. The boss A. r. A. of the territory was in the territorial convention at the head of an A. r. A. delegation from Pima county. To the convention he presented St0ddard for nomination as delegate in congress. Stoddard was defeated; and the A. F. A. crowd went home and slaughtered Doran at the polls. Right here at Nogalcs there is evidence that not one of them voted for Doran; since the election some of them have admitted it; and at Tucson therc is similar cyi- dcncc. As the Herald asserts, no secret k made Of the fact; not only in Pima, but in Cocbise county also.
 And evidence is coming that in the cast the A. P. A. attempted to slaughter Mckinley. tis well known that long ago Mckinley and Mark Hanna refused to accept the A. P. A. dictation. And on that account the vote of the order was thrown against him in Chicago, St. Louis and else where. Oh the A. P. A. crowd are a nice lot of republicans

A FEW ARE UNHAPPY.

The number Of original Mckinley men has rapidly increased in Arizona sinco his nomination. and since his election they have multiplied still faster. Coconino Sun.
 Remarkably true. But among them are very unhappy lot. They com prise those who turned down rcsolu- tion of instruction for Mckinley in the territorial convention. and who ruled out of order set of Mckinley resolutions in Nogales mass meet ing. And they all want pie. They will be apt to get 1t with the records they have made staring in their faces.

IN ANOTHER column is presented the message of Mayor Avery as adopt ed bs the Town Council of Nogales, Monday evening. It will he read with interest as showing good ana effective work done by tue council and the work yet contemplated. The few who have devoted so much time to standing around tue streets and 'yapping" to strangers about the short comings of council are requested to read and ponder. The town board makes good showing. and there Is no doubt that the showing will improve. Every thing cannot be done at once, and with limited revenues work has to be done as money comes in. The most necessary is first essaycd and com pleted. In it's turn everything will receive attention.

A PROMINENT political prognostica- tor in Tucson, variously known as Sitting Bullr or Edmunds Act" is quoted as saying that the regular re- pubIicans of Arizona will hold no cau- GUS or conference until after the Me KinIey geese have gathered and had their quack." Whether it will be "a caucus" or "a conference will depend entirely upon the method of spelling preferred by Colonel zabriskie.

A Brave Governor.

Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, has wor

He discharged his duty as Governor, regard
less OF the strong appeals In behalf Of Ar
thur Hayne, who had slain comrade, and
had been sentenced to death. The courts had
been appealed to with no avail, and the
Governor OF Georgia did his duty. Past OBJ
servations Of the workings of the South Caro-
lima Governors lead us to believe that If AR
thur Hayne had been tried in this State. he
would have been promptly acquitted. or Il
convicted he would have been pardoned, and
as a result he would now be citizen.
Juries in this judicial Circuit have not con-
victed more than two or three white men out
OF perhaps a hundred murdeEers, and iu
these exceptional cases, the courts have been
kind enough to order the necessary number
OF uew trials TO secure acquittals. Georgia
white men who contemplate murder ought to
move to South Carolina, where they may
plead self-defense, or use the hip-pocket ar.
gument This advise 10 white Georgians
does not apply to negroes. A negro who com.
mits murder In South Carolina is likely to
fare no better than a white murderer in
