Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1898-11-16

do not consistently see uOW ellHSA of the two papers above can have the nerve to pay election bets by advocating such a measure, m view of the fact that the main support oi democracy in the last election was given liberally by railroad interests in Yavapsi, GiIa and Graham counties. They are taxless creat- ures today, and will be taxless like wise in this democratic era. A lit- tie buster nay for a tune prevail m legislative charnsls, but ID the end the railroad influences will know tha, the demoarstic legislature will lay down to them again as usual. Mark this.
 Yavapai republicans appear to have knifed Brodie; the only county republicans in the territory to thus treat the head of the territorial ticket. Yavapsi is a republican county.-Phenix Herald.
 The JoURSAL-MINER has been try ing for sixteen years to prove that Yavapai county is republican, but has never yet been able to do so. It has on one or two occssiOys given maiorities for individual republi- cans, but has never shown up good and strong as a republican county. This is the truth of the case as It exists. We quite agree with the Herald, though, that 1t should have shown its appreciation of and grati- tude to Col. Brodie by giving him good majority.
 Now that election is over, quite a number of business men suggest that a meeting be called at once, committees be appoipted and ar engagements be made to receive all the Rough Riders of Arizona in Pheni1; give them a banquet and show our appreciation of what they did in Cuba. Those who are push ing the matter suggest that Cover nor Murphy and Mayor Adams call the people together at an early date. All Arizona can then unite in the uon-partisan welcome to the heroes of San Juan.-Phenix Enterprise. The most acceptable locality for Yavapai Rough Riders to visit would be New York or any other eastern seaport, in view of the fact of election returns in Arizona.
 Now that election is over, and Wilson is the next delegate to con gress, it would be we'll to have Col. Brodie join Colonel Wilson in a pull for statehood. Let an approPria- tion be made by the next legislature to pay the expenses of Colonel Brodie and a citizen democrat to go to Washington and join Wilson in securing the passage of the much desired enabling act.-Tucson Star. This is another democratic proPosi- ton of gall. If Colonel Brodie IS so powerful now even in defeat to assist MT. Wilson to secure state hood, where in hades, does Wilson, who is elected, come in anywayi Hurrah for Wilson and statehood.
 The arrant rot which the Enter prise of Pheni1 is dishing out to the people since election, and which 1t is trying to jam down the throat of Col. Brodie and other Rough Riders, in an effort to pull them to Pheni1 and have a banquet, is indecent and scurrilous. If Col. Brodie and com rades are good enough after cleo i ton to receive consideration for their heroic deeds, they should have been treated likewise before that political event occurred. Another sickening proposition is that of the Courier to make Col. Brodie gover- nor of Arizona. If Brodie is good enough to be governor of Arizona, and not good enough to go to Con- ] gress, We would ask that sheet where Is there any consistency in the latter being recognized in the face of his republican principles, and on which he was defeated a few days ago. The proposition of these two sheets IS like unto dog chewing it's own vomit.
 . The "Tooter' still has steam up. The more it kindles up the fire of discord and difference among our industrial elements, and widens the breach in business channels, draws the line tighter around the masses and the classes, the greater will be the results in injury to the county. The disposition of loyal Arizonans is to attract capital to our section, not to crush it. If it is wrong to exempt a person or a corporation from taxation lay the question be- fore the courts. But for Gods sake don't cut the throat or throttle the fife out of Ysvapai among the in vestor aud homeseekers of the out side by creating the impression that Arizona has gone to the dogs. Rath- CT than do that, turn the territory over body aud soul to corporate greed. Throw of the mask of per sonal spleen and spite and give to all the world such an impression of the beauties of Arizona that in dustries will thrive where personal and political spite no" has wide channel to wallow iu.
