CANT PULL TOGETHER
The Contrast in Political Sentiment of ErizOna's Two Leading Com
 mOnWealihs.
A "Community of interests" Shat tered by OemagcguerT
 and Deceit.


 has been fruitful of errors. Aside rem county interests, which prevail ! according to the belief and senti- men. @. men who are surrounded by ! conditions which face their respect i've counties on this and that quss- | tion, men may for a time be swaySa | by this and that issue, all will reasonably admit. But ID the cass ! of the election of delegate to con gross, it was not for a moment be-
 l.eved that the candidacy of a nom lnee like that which presented itself { mol. A- O. Bsodie on one hand and [ Col J. F. Wilson on the other, would have terminated as 1t did in HavaPai and MaTicOps counties. In Mir. Brodie Yavapai presented a man whose political life was without stain, as an indueement to the voter. More than this NIT. Brodie was rated by all political classes en- gagged in commercial Persuits in Tavapai as friend of the nan who toileu and a benefsctor of the in- duslrial interests of the county he
 was selected from to make the polit- ical race.
 So apparent did the average eiti- zen of intelligence consider his can didaey from the stand point of future benefit and progress in mines and mining, and the far reach IBg effects his name would have been associated with Arizona's min eTal interests among the capitalists of the outside, and likewIse as a military hero, serve 10 make Arizona abroad the center of attraction to the investor m other channels, 1t seemed then but vague to believe that his own cOurty would be the first to crush him on the issue of politics and rebuke him ar the men behind him for what hs los and could have done for Ihs ning in terests of his county. But .t was SO and if the results of last T a-dav go for anything they car lly show that the majority O. he s-aOp.e of I avaPai prefer political to that industrial advancement &sEy con- tend, however, that a DO Il prin- ciple like that of free silver is more sacred 10 them than the b.. ing up material interests, that rank partis- anship mus supplant ths cummsFc- ial existence of us all, and that iaucles must prevail over facts, and SO ou. Worse than this a handful of men in Arizona must dictate to the wealthy and powerful of the na- ton that the red flag of hatred must sceye aside the symbol that would elevate and enrich us all.
 Take the returns from this coun- ty which today is striving to make capital its harbor of investment in mines, especially, and On the other hand on the question of delegate listen to the echo of Maricopa, the banner county in wealth. population and likewise intelligence of all Arr zona. Reflect on the two common wealths, reader, not as partisan dItchas. but as reasonable thinking men, having at stake your commer cial life ss well as mine, and then, in view of even the political cCndI tions which prevail sohdly in the nation. and by which even Arizona must abide for two years more at least, notwithstanding who is elected, take your choice again, and we would ask in all sincerity what will Arizona profit and especially Yavapai county by its conduct of last week, even in the angelic cause of silver. Maricopa. true to its in- stincts, and true also to its belief in the future elevation of its indus trial interests, now so plainly before us in a magnificent and modem built city, felt the touch of it's pulse by signaling for more, and gave to republicanism its support For ne other reason than it meant supren- acy tU all Arizona, and locally to its own interests. COcoDino too, cen tributed, in the same unselfsh way to the republican delegate, but elected it's county democratic ticket. Yuma. Pinal, Pima and Cochise came forward likewise with brokaA county tickets, as their choices sI home.
 The people-of Arizona at large, and especially in Yavapai, have been buucOed, then, again and heeced by  political pirates and jawbone bush whackers in such a maaner as has never before prevailed. While we care Eot, personally. what Wilson or Brodie may be to the silver or any other issue oI national import, vs hold and cling to Arizona neverthe- les, its progress and Prospegity-in a sense be6ttiug the time 1 2olit- lcal opportunities that s0C-~ pre- sented, irrespective Of ans srsonal motive.
 We say, then. that -i ai 5unties in Arizona 10 sUffer tea aarosst and reel it's conduct the koen>r-. YaEa- pa leads. and of all cO-lties in Arizona that interpret by vote the cleanest conception 0f rdslitJ 70 al Arizona, MaricOpa leeds. + is SO, aud wg Haunt in tha lace of the victor and ais ballots, i ' IS not so. More than this, the nation at large knows Il and tune will bring it home 60 every door in Arizona as a piece of political folly that putrid partisansbip only knows.
