JIM BARK's POPULARITY.
How ii Win Well Nigh Cost Him a
Five Dollar Bill.

Coast stories are in order now and
they are beginning to make the rounds
The latest one is of peculiar interest
Just at this time when nominating con-
ventions are inorder and speculation is
rife as TO who will be the party stand
ard bearers in the coming struggle.
A party of PhoenicfanS were lined up
in Los Angeles the other day in front
of a wet goods counter in the Hoffman
house when man, Il stranger to some
of them suggested that the crowd
might be sociable for a few minutes at
least at his expense. After the soda
water had found its natural receptacle
and the cigars We're lighted the crowd
resumed its former converSa ton which
seemed to be on the subject of Arizona
politics. One of the party had just re-
ceived a copy of the Phoenix HERALD
announcing the nomination of d. L.
Murray for sheriff by the democratic
convention.
The stranger ventured the remark
''Well they have nominated the best
man they had in the county any way,
and he is likely to make it hot for
somebody" well that may be said
another member OF the party but 1
have just got a five dollar bill l would
Ike to bet that if the republicans nom-
ludte Il Ce1ldlu uldH tllstl nave uedTu
of. can name. but never have met, he
will skin D. L. Murray alive"
"Who is .it?" asked the stranger.
''Well, put up your money was the
reply.
"Oh I don't want to rob you said the
stranger. land will not bet, but I'd like
to know who you have in mind"
''Well'' said the thoroughbred repub-
lican, IF you will not bet l do not mind
telling you it is Jim Bark caItleman.
Everybody knows him but me and
from what 1 can learn he viii run like
Il jack rabbit and jump every demo-
cratic fence nthe county"
1t was several days before the strang
er found out that Harry George was
the man who wanted to cover every
California dollar he could find backing
ID. L. Murray and it was not until yes
terday that Mr.. George found out that
Jim Bark was the man who refused to
cover his money.

not more than we are now paying those

filed the claim that it had forced the
war on the republican administration
but its record in Congress where it at
tempted to preventitby refusing funds
is too paIpa bic to permit of the origi-
nal claim; its cry of sixteen to one is
growing feebler day by day as silver
gradually rises under republican adj
ministratiOn and the theory of the fl
nancial plank of the st. Louis platform
of 1896; dollar wheat didn't work
worth a cent; general misfortune to the
farmer did not come and good crops
and prosperity ensue Notwithstanding
the war AS Il last wall of despair
the party leaders are now attempting
to make it appear to the public that
1.-The war is failure Some of us
heard that same wall thirty years ago
and more; it is old and decrepit and
coachers The war a failure? Is there
sane Spaniard, even, that will claim
the war is Il failure ON the part of the

that would claim such a proposition
anywhere in any civilized country? No
indeed! There is nobody on earth but
a desperate office holder finding him
self out of an office and likely to stay
out that would grasp at such a straw
That seems to be the position of the
democratic leaders who are raising
the antiquated cry "the war is a fail
ure.'
