Hon Tom Parish, chairman of the
democratic territorial committee,
thought the funding law good enough
to vote for it as a councilman in the
Sixteenth legislature, but during
this campaign he has had his stump
speakers bowling against the PROPOSE
ton and denouncing 1t in bitterest
terms. Tom was fully as responsible
fer that law as any other man in the
territory and the scoring the law is
now getting at the hands of democra-
tic stump speakers must necessarily
be d scoring of Hon. Tom Parish.

phe political bosses Of the county
democracy have concocted a scheme to
issue a circular denial of the J. L. b

Alexander letter a fraud upon the

siderable vote in this dishonest man.

fraud, is just as he wrote it, and the
original of which is in Colonel Bro

"Wilson will carry one county, re-

eagerly questioned one of his hearers.
''Mohave'' said the newspaper man.
"Oh, he'll carry Graham county," re
piled they, almost in concert. They
had been surprised into an expression
of just what they, as democrats, antic-
fpated-two counties in the territory
and both of them not carrying suffi-
cient vote to give a possible chance for
a Wilson majority in the territory.

Some of the most dastardly reports
concerning the republican candidates
are being circulated by word of mouth
by certain democrats of the county.
For instance, the story has been set
going that Mr.. ]. W. Benham is a COM
inon drunkard rolling in the ditch
Now the facts are Mr.. Benham is prob
ably the most temperate man in the
county. as he does not and never has
touched liquor or tobacco in any form,
simply as matter of preservation of
physical health and power This is
but a single instance in which these
democratic politicians seek clandes-
timely to undermine the characters of
good men and to impose on the credul-
ity of those who do not distrust the
honesty of the men tlrus imposing on
them. Some of these men are known
and if there is not future accounting
for defamation of character we miss
our guess.

There is a danger that there viii be
a congestion of voters in Phoenix on
November Sth, owing to the fact that
thousands of country people will come
to town on account of the circus and
to get election news. The board of
supervisors should at once ask through
official publication that voters deposit
theirvotesin their home precincts be
fore coming to the city. If any large
number of the outside voters should
not do so the chances are that there
will be a great many votes that will
fail to get in ait the polling places in
this city. Under these conditions the
looseness and incompetency of our
election laws in failing to require the
voter to vote in his own precinct is ap
parent, and the time seem to be at
hand when it is necessary to protect
the voter by such requirement. If the
the law remains as it is there is now
probability that considerable num-
bers of voters might be deprived of
their votes

Mr.. Charles Counselman, of the Chi
cago board of trade, gives the fol
lowing as a business mans view of the
political outlook: Just as soon. as
this election is over and the country
feels once more safe. by reason of the
success of the republicans, there is go
ing to ensue an era of the most Won
derful prosperity in our history. The
success of the republicans this year, l
deem vital, for it viii mean the perma-
nent elimination of the distributing
question. If the democrats should
happen TO carry the house they will
feel encouraged to once more try TO
rouse the people with the fallacies that
failed in 1896. That would mean a
check on returning prosperity, for the
mere supposition of danger of a de
graded currency makes business men
timid.

The present situation on the Yava-

Gratis are endeavoring to make much
against the republican party and in
cidentally against Colonel A o. Bro

gress, is shown by the carefully com
| piled history of the facts in their issue
and funding which was entirely
regular and promoted largely by prom
inent democrats of Yavapai county
and leading citizens of the territory
The original county bonds We're sub
scribed for by almost every prominent
business man in that county The
funding was also a legitimate and
Straightforward. public piece of bust
ness confirmed by the territorial legis-
lature in the seats of which sat and
voted for the measure the delegation
from Yavapai county, especially the
democratic portion of it. The board of
supervisors applied for the funding of
those county bonds into territorialzfive
per cent, bonds. Subsequently, pretty
much every business man of Prescott
and the county petitioned the legisla-
ture to memorialize congress asking
for remedial legislation that there
should be no question of the legality
OF funding those bonds and Governor
Murphy, acting on that memorial, Sc
cured such legislation by congress. An
attempt to enjoin the funding of the
bonds was denied in the Supreme
court of the territory and question of
the legality settled by the same
court The bonds were finally
funded. Every step from the
first TO the last was legitimate
and approved of by the democracy of
Yavapai county as well as the re-
mainder of the citizens of that county
up to a certain point where the demo

tempted to have the debt repudiated
on the ground that the railroad com
pany had failed to carry out its side
of the contract, in fact had collapsed
and the railroad ceased to exist after
being in operation seven years. The
cause of that collapse was largely the
fault of the people of Prescott, who
courted another road, failed to support
the road they had and had lobbyists
in the Sixteenth legislature during the
whole term in an attempt to ''cinch''
the road they had. Democrats of that
county are fully as responsible for the
situation as anybody else in that
county and that they should attempt
to saddle the whole matter onto the
