Arizona democrats have read heir New \ iork brethren out of Ihe party, for th cir failure to insert a free silver pl snk in their platform.
 The quest ion for the voters of this county , decide at the polls IS shall Yavap al county be redeemed from democT atie rule or shall things De permitted to go CD as they havei' The taxpay, ITS have it in their pow CT to secure a county government in their own interests by electing the full republican ticket.
 Ysvapai county, since its earliest organization, has only had two re- publican sheriffs. The present year would be a good time to change the order of things. The law of sue cession which has obtained so long in that office should be broken for the good of the county.
 The closing words of President McKinley's address 10 the commis- sion now engaged in Investigating the conduct of the war indicate the attitude of the president, and of the republican party-"If there have been wrongs committed, the wrong doers must not escape conviction and punishment
 Down in Marieopa county, demo crats openly boast that they can buy enough Mexican votes to carry the election. This is a serious re flection on that class of citizens who will probably resent it by voting against their self-styled purchas- CTS.
 The tone of the German press has changed very radically of late to- wards the United Stutes, while that of France is commencing to veer around some too. German papers now urge it as a duty for the United States to retain the Philippine islands. They claim that Germany has no designs whatever on the islands and does not want any of them.
 Republicans, do not neglect the opportunity of having your names on the great register. There are only few more days when the reg ister will be closed and if you have not registered this year you will be unable to vote, and republicans cannot afford to throw away any votes this fall, when a victory for our party means so much for the territory-when it means statehood and prosperity, honest and intelli- gent administration of affairs both in the county aud the coming legis- lsture.
 The new hattleship Illinois which vas launched recently will be the biggest and most powerful and probably the most effective battle ship in the United States navy. Larger than the Iowa and heavier than the Oregon the Illinois is still so designed that she will be able to enter any harbor open to smaller battleships, while iu the matter of speed she will rank with any of them.
 There still remains au opportunity for the young men who did not get chance to go to war to show their patriotism by voting for the brave men who went to the front in hu- manity's cause. Vote the entire re- publican ticket and thus put the stamp of your disapproval upon the sneering and ungrateful manner in which the democratic party in this territory has treated her loyal sons, who fought and bled that human injustice and heartIess tyranny might be driven forever from our continent. These men can be relied upon to not betray us, and certainly they are worthy of the support of every liberty loving citizen.
 Democracy finds itself this year on the silver question very much like it did in 1888 on tho tariff. Eastern democrats that year were bowling for protection or else were very mum on the subject, while westerners were rabid free traders. This year the democrats of New York and other states are silent as the grave on the silver question, while their brethren in the west are making that the Shibboleth of the campaign.
 Our contemporary opposes the election of the republican candi:: i: dates for supervisors on the ground that they are from Prescott. Of course this is about as near the po- litical mark as it ever hits. Mir. Howell is DO more a Prescott man than is Mir. Beatson. He lives about twenty-five miles from town and is a rancher by occupation. Where Mir. Beatson resides is not known to the writer of this. MT. Dumas, we are told, is engaged in the same bus mess that Mir. Howell is-that of ranching.
 The republican territorial conyen- ton of New Mexico met at Albu- querque recently and nominated Pedro Perea for delegate to con-
