Arizona republican., 1896-07-21


 material constantly on hsnd. Experienced we mine owner in Arizona who would ex press himself in that manner. If so, we would like to know who he is and from what part of the territory he comes. The Times, which is in the hands of monopolies, if it desires to keep its present circulation in lAri- kona, had better make its goldbug ar guments from another source, rather than libel country where 1t receives good support.
 | Border Vidette: The Phoenix Ga zette is too anxious on Mark Smiths l behalf and it's actions are liable to in jure his chance for delegate.
 Florence Tribune: The many friends of Buckley O'Neill throughout Arizona are highly pleased with his action in coming out fat-footed for Bryan and Sewall If he runs for delegate to congress this fall on the Populist ticket, it's dollars to doughnuts he l isn't the last man in the race.
 
 Border Vidette: Now is the time 1 for all friends of silver to show their hands. The issue is clearly defined, and there is no middle ground We must be on one side or the other; sup . port the interests of the working mass es or be against them.
 Bisbee Orb: The silver bolt is now on its way with sufficient headway to carry it through the golden walls 1 which have been built around the gov ernment at Washington, and Novem- Der next will see the white metal where 1t should be, one of the coins of the United States, as provided for in the constitution.
 Border Vidette: In a recent edi- torial the Los Angeles Times asks why the people of Arizona when they can pick up big nuggets of gold and float copper mines for $50,000,000 should want silver "Gold and copper should be good enough" says this wonderful production. Applying the same kind of logic to California we might ask why, when Los Angeles has so many frozen oranges to sell, she would want bread? A big nugget is very nice, but 1t is not convenient for each person in the community to clip off his share. It passes into one mans hands while a hundred are hunting for silver quarter to buy bread. Moreover, The Times is about the last paper in the United States from which Arizona cares to receive advice on the money question. The name Otis is synony- nous with ridiculous when money questions are concerned.
 Florence Tribune: The money sharks are claiming that free coinage ! of gold and silver would bring finan- cial distress upon the country. Great Scott! Could the distress be any greater than it is now?
 Lordsburg Liberal: Aside from the silver question and the tariff question l the young men of the west will look with satisfaction on Bryan's nomina- tion All of the voters who have been born during the past forty years re- member that one important question !, always to be considered about presi- dent1al candidate was his war record i. This class of voters are too young tc have taken any part in the war or to remember much about it and they have not enjoyed listening to wal stories and seeing men put into re. sponsfble positions and called on to decide important questions simply be- cause they 'tfit endurin' the war , Here is candidate who was only thirteen months old when Sumter was i fired upon. He has no war record , The question of how he stood during the war will not enter this campaign Border Vidette: It is a noticeable f fact that all the Democratic newspa. pers in the east that are jumping the ! party nominations at Chicago are , owned by the millionaires. Williams News: If the present con- dition continues to exist in favor o1 } free silver the local candidates in Co. conino county, not free silver man will stand about the same show fol office that the devil would among the heavenly hosts.
