ERODE AND STATEHOOD,

The enthusasm that Is displayed wherever Colonel Brodie goes m this territory cannot convey any other meaning than that the people are in sympathy with his candidacy. Itis not human nature for people to enthuse over one whom they in tend to antagonize. Col. Brodie IS not an orator and makes DO attempts to convince the people that he Is at home on the stump. He maintains that if elected he will make a good agent of the territory at Washing ton. and a good agent Is what We need. We do not require an orator for the best orator in the congress without a vote would cut but an in- different figure. Colonel Brodie knows, ss all people know who are acquainted with Legislation in Wash ington, that the most effective worh- CTS in both houses are not those who have a reputation as speakers. There are men in the senate and the house who never make speeches who vet exert a tremendous lu- duence in behalf of their constI- tuents. These are men who attend committee meetings and who shape Legislation without appearing Tn the public eye to any extent. To ac- complish such work requires high order of ability and knowledge Of men, and human nature. It Is truth fully said of Colonel Brodie that he IS one of the best mixers Tn the southwest. He meets men, makes good impression upon them. and they are ready to do him a friendly turn when opportunity offers. Such a man could do Arizona world oi good at Washington. Col. Brodie a common sense republican, stands ou a common sense platform, and be will be elected on the common sense issue of statehood. Once elected and with a republican legislature to point to as certificate Of earnest ness of the people of Arizona, be will have no difficulty in setting the statehood machinery in motion. Every Arizonan ought to stand by Colonel Brodie in this emergency. IT he should be defeated statehood would be set back ten years at least. Republican.

IA HINT THE WISE.

Now, a word as to MT. Lawrence. h the first place he is and has a. ways been a republican. It is more than likely that with the exception of sheriff and district attorney MT. Lawrencs will adhere to his party when he mes 10 vote.-Jerome Reporter.
 The above organ of the Copper company very unwittiugly showed the hand of its master and confirms what the JoURNAL-MINER has alleged all along, that the company will use all means in its power to elect the sheriff and district attorney. Its en- ployes may vote their convictions for all other officers. but if they wish to hold their jobs they must vote for ITS candidates for sheriff and district attorney.
 The Reporter further says: "In this absession MT. Lawrence will enjoy the companionship of many good republicans. who have declar- ed themselves against Burns aud Collins"
 Just so. 4 hint from the com pany's organ to the nployes of the company. as to its wishes, is sup posed to be just as good as a kick with a frozan boot. The above con taius the gentle hint which il dis obeyed will be followed by the kick after election.
 Now voters oI yavspai county, what special interest do you Opine, the Copper Co. has ;n these two of fces' Hung juriesi Avaunt the thought, Is its special interest in these offices on behalf of the work lngmeD, or the taxpayers of the county, or in the interest of jLsticei Hardly. That it has purposes of its own which it hopes to serve through the election of these officers admits of uo doubt. and those purposes bode no good for the county.

YAVAPAI COUNTY VS. THE COP
 PER COMPANY.

John Burns has lived in this coun- tv long enough to demonstrate that he is capable and competent to make an efficient and honest sheriff despite the terrible efforts of the United Verde Copper company toI defeat him. He has proven himself to be friend of the laboring classes too. during his residencs here what ever charges may be trumPed up against him from the past. It may be pertinent to ask right here of those mouthpieces of the United Verde Copper company, which are printing the campaign documents prepared by it. when did their mas ters. the L. V. C. Co.,. become the champion of labor, either OrganIz ed or unorganized! What has the United Verde Copper company ever done for the lsboring classes that It should be looked up to as an oracle on matters pertaining to the welfare of the toilers' 2 Have the letters hich this company is having pub ished in an attempt to prove that John Burns is not a friend of the laboring man been secured and pub lished solely in the interest of that class of people, or has the company a direct selfish interest in trying 10 defeat Burns and hope in this way to work upon the prejudices ot the Iaborieg people, and influence them to help this company in defeating him. Voters of Yavapai county, at whose instance was that Lawrence letter written, and who secured lts r, 'ication? Who secured that Calderhead letter stating what John Burns did years ago, and had 1t pub lished? Was il the laborlDg men or was It a powerful corporation who has said that 1t would spend SlO,OOO to defeat John Burns for sherifI Has the company, which Is working so vigorousls now to defeat John Burns for sheriff, ever been the special friend of the working peo- ple. that it should now appeal to them, through partisan press, to vote according to its dictates, or at tempt to instruct them who thelr friends ara and who are their enc mics?
 N These are pertinent questions Tor every voter 10 ask himself. The United Verde Copper Company has undertaken the task of defeating John Burns and will spend a small fortune to accomplish the result, II necessary. It Is and will Econtinue to use every means al its command 10 prejudice voters against his sup port and try to use the voters of Yavapai county 10 accomplish its ends.
 The die has been cast, and the issue formed by this powerful cor poratioa, which Is now posing as the friend of the laboring man. The race Tor sheriff has resolved itself into Yavapai County vs. The United Verde Copper Company. Which shall he the winner at the electlous IL Is for the voters to decide.

One of the most scurrilous srti- cles, aside from that Lawrence let ter, that has appeared during the campaign, was published in the Courier 8 few mornings since. It related to Governor Murphy's trip to meet Col. Brodie. The governor is submitted to the vilest sort of abuse on account of the kindly and friendly act toward Col. Brodie. Democrats had hoped that Governor Murphy would be cold and indifferent during the cam paign, when they could have sccus- ed him of not supporting the repub- lican candidate for delegate to con- gress. Because he did not do as they wanted him to, but travelled several hundred miles to meet Col. Brodie aud assure him by words as we'll as acts, of his loyal and unre- served support of his candidacy, he he is roundly abused and all manner of epithets applied to him. The hopelessness of the democratic cause is apparent from the vIndic- tive malicious methods which are being used against Col. Brodie as we'll as his supporters.

HlsToRrY OF YAVAPAI BONDS.

Tho JoURxAL-MINER Is in receipt of very elaborate article entitled,
 History of the Ya,apai Bonds It is very ably prepared and IS exactly what its title purports-a succinct complete, detailed and impartial history of those bonds from their earliest inception down to the pres ent time. Not only dOos the article contain a truthful history of the bonds but it also refutes some ot the campaign lies which have been cir culated in regard Co them. One ot these malicious and false statements which have been circulated, IS to the effect that F. NJ. and N. O. Mur- phy had purchased these bonds at a low figure and have since been try ing to appreciate their value. While the ones who make this statement know it's falsity, their object Is to get others to believe 1t, and thus create a prejudice against their pay ment as we'll as against the MessrS. Murphy. This false statement IS refuted in the following unmistaka- ble language
 And here let it oe said, and every upright citizen of Arizona who be- lieves in justice and honorable deal ing take notice: Neither Frank Murphy nor N. O. Murphy own a dollars worth of YavsPsi County bonds, They do not now, and never have, directly or indirectly. owned a dollars worth of these bonds. And the statements that have been re- peatedly made by democratic speak CTS, and by democratic papers, that \. O. Murphy had purchased the bonds at e nominal price and that \. O. Murphy had put the legaliz- ing act through congress because of his brothers or his own financial in terest in the bonds, are maliciously and crin.inally false; and If the per sons who have been circulating these vile islanders do not know 1t, their ignorance IS inexcusable; and if they know it, they have earned the con- tempt of every honest citizen, and they have not helped the democrat ic party. Will reputable and hon. orable democrats defend such vic ious methods, or will they rePudiate the falsehoods of some of the would be leaders,"
 Another false statement to the effect that no request had been made for the funding of these bonds IS also refuted by the record of the loan commission.
 The document should be read by every voter of the territory as there is no attempt at concealment Of any thing in it. aud every one shoulI be- ccme familiar with ali the circum- stances and all the facts in connec- ton with this question, rather than to be influenced by malicious, mis- leading and false statements con- ceruiDg it.

APERTINENT INQUIRY.

Our contemporary this morning speaks of a letter alleged to have been written by the late Captain O'Neill from San Antonio urging his friends to work for Wilson. While of course not questioning the genuineness of this assertion or the genuineness of this letter, Col. Will son was scarcely talked of as can didate when the Rough Riders went to Cuba. But admitting that no mistake has been made in this mat ter, is there any friend of the late Captain O'Neill in this county, or in this territory, who has any doubts as to the position he would take were he alive today, as between sup porting Col. Wilson, who has al ways opposed him-Opposed him as a republican, and later opposed him as a populist; and ID support ing Col. Brodie, who was always his personal friend, and who never made any active opposition to him politi cally. V ho selected him to assist him 10 organize the Arizona battal- ion of Rough Riders, and used all the influence at his command to se cure for him the captaiucy of the company, who messed with him and chummed with him in camp, who shared the same privations and faced the same dangers ou the field of battle with him?
 This thing of dragging tn, name of dead man into political cam paigu to try to make political eapi- tai out of it, is a very delicate ques- tion and one which common decen- cv and respect for brave man would suggest be omitted from 1t. But since the question has been raised and the issue made by the other siue and apparently by a rela- tive of the deceased, or at least with his consent. it Is pertinent to ask in all candor. admitting that such a letter was written under conditions entirely different from those exist ing today, whether if alive today, it is reasonable 10 suppose that Cap tain O'Neill would send the pOliti- cal utterauces ringing through the territory: "I hope that my friends will do all they can 10 elect Will son" The question is submitted 10 his friends for each one of them 10 answer individually.
 Col Wilson and t.- party which is supporting him today were al Tays the political enemies of Cap tain O-Neill. while Col. BrodIe was always hIs warm personal friend |. While a generous man. was 1t 8 trait of Captain O'Neiil 10 urge his friends to stand bv and support bis political enemies or did be not rath- er stay by his friends and urge h.s friends to do likewise?

HARMoNIOUSLY rNCONSlsTCT

One Of the blanks of tue demo cratic platform reads as follows:
 We srraigu the republican office holders Of Arizona for the defeat o' the home rule bill, which. pending statehood. is necessary to our a4- vancemeut as a territory, because It gives the people. the taxpayers and citizens the right to choose their own executive and administrative officers
 We arraign the democratic party for trying to defeat statehood, which is the only genuine aud un- adulterated form Of nome rule" 10 be had by their frantic efforts to de feat Col. Brodie, m whose election the only nope for securing state hood for years to come, lies. Dem ocrats urged home rule for political effect only. They talk statehood, yet oppose the only feasible way of securing II.

TOUCHED A sENsITN E SPOT.

"The J.-M.'s insinuationN Aoou' hung juries' seems to be a enee, ton on every officer of the col Vs anu were the Courier to publish sue . stuff. ye editor would be hustle u on to jail for contempt, but the gol' I1Ies have more license. of course. Ahe J. Nj. hung jurS' iDslnuations are certainly a reflection upon the h. n- est citizens of this county who hay . the misfortune to have to do jury duty."- Courier
 The JIM. has had no iDsinuatioH. about "hung juries." It state ind plain faced type without any insln- uation whatever, that the United Verde Copper company had had pretty good luck m securing hung juries, and wondered whether 1t would have equally as good luck with jury of 4,0OO voters. The of- 6cer of the court or the poor junior tunate" honest citizen of the coun- ty who has to do jury duty, must have a very tender conscience II he can see any insinustior in the asser- ton. Of course if the the JoURSAL- MNER were to publish one tenth part of the comment of honest citi- zens in regard to these hung jurles its editor might be hustled od 10 jail for contempt or charged with libel. This ''hung jury" subject is not a new one to the people Of this county by any means and our cons contemporary need pot feel so 'touchy" on the subject.
 Will the United Verde Copper company get hung jury" or a verdict in favor of its candidate from the votersi That is the ques- ton now, and no insinuation in- tended.

Democrats do not want statehood,

Democrats do not want statehood, whereby Arizona would get three votes in congress. They admit that Wilson cannot secure it. Many of them admit that Col. Brodie stands a good show to secure it, yet they cling to Wilson and oppose Brodie. Their statehood talk heretofore has been for political effect only. Ari- zona will never have a vote on free silver legislation or on any other legislation until she secures admis- sion as a state, when she will have three votes. All this campaign talk then about the moral effect that the result of the election of Wilson will have on the east is simply SO much wind.

ACHANGEiS NEEDED.

Our contemporary is making a vigorous defense of Johnny Munds against all sorts of imaginary charges. Among other things it un- dertakes 10 say what be will not do if elected. If Munds is elected 1t IS reasonable to presume that he will conduct the sherifs office on prac- tically the same lines that 1t has recently been conducted. That the expenses of the office will not be re- duced in the least and that it w.ll be run for all the fees that is possi- ble to be made out of it rather than in the interest of the tax payers. A sheriff can exercise great discretion in the conduct of the office. He can pile up fees, and they may be legiti- mate fees too. perfectly legal, or he may by good judgment and the use of proper discretion serve the peo- pie and the ends of justice equally we'll by practicing economy in the office aud at the same time make a good salary out of it for himself.
 If a prisoner escapes from jail he may be able to get the county to pay for his recspture or he may do so at bis own expense. The charge that previous sheriffs have prscticed economy in the management of the office has never been preferred against any of them and it is doubt ful if such a charge could be sus- tained by an examination of the bills on file.
 There is no reason to believe that by continuing the succession in of- Zee of another deputy, a custom which has obtained for some time, that there will be any reform Tn this matter.
 John Burns is pledged 10 reform ia this matter. It IS for voters to determine whether they want to foot the bills at the rate of thousands of

Here is a pretty good campaign argument and one which will recom- mend itself to intelligent and think ing voters. It is at the same time a piece of simple statistics; "For the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1898, under the operations of the Dingly act, the exports of manufscturrd articles for the first time in the his tory of the United States exceeded the imports. Tue value of the ex- ports of this character exceeded the imports S5s,sS0,2ls. In 1885, under rule, we imported $12l,- 513,7o3 more than we exported, and in 1886 sl04,759,734 more than we Every farmer as we'll as every mechanic is interested in this. As the demand for our manufactures increases idle skilled labor is em- ployed and the demand for the ne- cessities of life which the farmer produces grows larger"

.AFEw POINTS FOR DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF YAVAPAI COUN-
 INTO CONSIDER.

1. A vote for Brodie is a vote Tor statehood.
 Whyf Because he is politically in sympathy with the present sd- ministration. Wilson is not.
 ?. \ vote for Brodie is a vote Tor the re-estab!lshment of FoIt Whip pie.
 Whvf Because his gallant par ticipation in that little affair down in Cuba has made him solid with the war department, and be- cause from his extensive army eX- perience, military education and his f.. miliarity with local conditions and requirements, he can consclen- tiousIy recommend and urge the measure. Aud if Brodie recoms mends it, Lieut.-Col. A. O. Brodie of the United States and Santiago will get it. Wilson might get 1t too in the neck.
 3. A vote for Brodie is not vote against silver; nor is a vote for Will son a vote for silver.
 Whyi Because neither could have any voice in the matter as territor- ial delegate in congress. Any fool knows that.
 f. Your vote for Brodie means that you have the manhood aud pa triotism to recognize and stamp with your approval the brave and unselfsh devotion to country shown by the little band of Arizona heroes who helped to make immortal his tory" Will you-Arizona demo crats-be outdone in broad Ameri- can patriotism by the republicans of Alabama who so gracefully ral- lied to the standard of grand old Joe Wheeleri If so-if you will just scratch your heal and try to tell us, honestly, what you expect to gain by it.
 If Wilson cant get you statehood, food Arizona with silver dollars, or restore Fort Whipple-aud if you are honest. you will have to concede that be can't-then what in the name of Tom Parish can be do, that Alex O. Brodie can't do just as well, or even a little betteri

The Jerome Reporter affects sur prise because the JoURNAL- MINER made mention of the fact that H. J Allen, financial agent of the United Verde Copper Company, recently paid some $l4,000 in taxes 10 the county treasurer. The JOURNAL MINER has no fgh, 10 make on this company except in regard to any intimidation of voters that may be made by it, and in this tt will not go outside the path of truth and jus tice. It has repeatedly said that the company has 6 perfect right to use moral suasion with its employees, just as one individual has the right to try and persuade another into his way Of voting. But because . com plny even doss this'it is no reason why the voters of the county should sanction it by endorsing the candidates of the 'mpany's choice. When the company goes outside of moral suasion though and uses in timidation and threats of discharge, attempting to force its employees into voting according to its dictates and not their own then the question takes on 6 different phase and is open for condemnation and cen- sure.
