WASHINGTON Democraty Do wen

The democrats have taken our advice
and put out clean, reputable, strong
ticket for the county Offices. They
have done themselves great credit for
discretion and sagacity in recognizing
the fact therepublican ticket is strong
and popular one and any scalawag COM
bination against it would be the guar
antee of a republican victory that
would be 'out of sight" The time
has passed and like the water that has
turned the wheel, will never return,
when a mere party endorsement is
taken as CONCLUSIVE evidence of can
didate's integrity and efficiency, and
hence in local elections especially the
party harness fits a large number of
voters very loosely. This is true alike
of the republican and democratic par
ties.
Party leaders have lost their power
over the commonality. They are no

Col. Nimson Gained.

Last week the employees of the E.
7. & w, N. @. Ry. purchased a very
handsome gold headed cane from Hope
Bros, Knoxville, Tenn, aud having it
appropriately engraved took it to
Cranberry and gave it to Col. Nimson
as token of the esteem in which he is
held by his former employees. The
cane was presented by Capt. W. P.
Miller, and Col. Nimson has responded
in the following letter:
Cranberry, N. c., June IA, 1900.
To the employees of the E. Il. & w. N.
r. r., gentlemen and fellow en-
ployees:
l have received the beautiful gold
mounted cane you have forwarded to
me as a token of the kindly feeling you
express in your letter accompanying it,
and | hereby return my sincerest thanks
for the same.
wish to impress upon you my APP
probation of this good feeling, and to
assure you that 1 prize it above all 9TH
or incidents Of like nature in my life,
because Of the rarity of such mutual
good will remaining after so many years
of association under circumstances and
conditions tending to bring about more
or less estrangement.
During the last ten years 1 have had
many letters from railroad men and
others congratulating me on the eff.
ficiency of the men in the employment
of the company, and some of them
making inquiry as to how the company
secured the services of men so univer-
sally trustful and of such high charac
ter. My reply has always been thai
the men themselves attended to that
and sooner or later found themselves
relieved of all untrustworthy and un
congenial CO. workers.
shall always prize, above all have
this beautiful cane, because of thu
source from which it came, and viii
never see it, or think of it, without the
deepest feeling of thanks, and the hope
that naught is in store for all of yor
but good health and the prosperity yor
so we'll deserve, by the ability ant
faithfulness with which you have al
ways served the company in the past
and am certain you will do in the flu
ture. With my most earnest concern
for your future welfare, I remain,
Your best friend,
G. H. NIMsoN.

A SEVERE MANAGEMENT.


 Cochise county filed report in the district court which is one of the most scathing documents of the kind ever emanating from a grand inquest: It deals most mercilessly with the sheriff of the county, and with the district attorney, accusing the former of consistently and hab- itually neglecting his office and the latter of having ordered the jailer to permit Stiles that access to the jail which resulted ill the escape of desperate criminals. The sheriff is severely censured in the report for absenting himself from the territory and from the United States without leave, and demand is made that he resign, failing in which the board of supervisors IS recommended to institute proceed inps to have the office declared vacant. Coming, as it does, from a grand jury consisting of men who are generally considered Sheriff Whites friends and political as- sociates. the report is a most sis ni6cant document. While, they are first taxpayers of Cochise county his neglect of his off :ial duty they feel has affected them I, taxpayers has increased the burdens ol government in which they have to
 bear a share-and their report IS q
 sti ong protest against such con dition of affairs. They ask very plainly that MT. White step down
 ana out of the office he has neg
 lected and make room for someone who will attend to its duties. The facts are that in his acceptance o
 the secretaryship of very ricl
 mine in Mexico MT. White assum ed duties and responslbilitie' ! which prevent his doing his iul
 duty by the people of Cochis

 leave the management of import

 But the demand of the gran' iurv of Cochise county is only common dem md arising from th
