HENRY WATTERsON

How can Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Journal, now sup porting Bryan. really think his election would be for the good of the country !? MT Bryan certainly has not given pub lie evidence of change of character since his characterization by MT. Wat terson, in 1896, as follows:
 He is a dishonest dodger; he is a daring adventurer; he is political fakir; he is not the material of which the people of the United States ever made a president. Nor is he the ma terlal of which any party ever before made a candidate"
 But Mir. Watterson has swallowed both Bryanism and it's local manifesto tion, Goebelism, whole. He helped elect Joe Blackburn senator, who. at the grave of John Sanford said:
 | love you, John, my friend. my army comrade, my more than brother. and hope my God will give me life ana strength to hurl your slayer CWil- nam GoebeD to the deepest depths of ponucal damnation," and who, at the grave of William GOebel said:
 harth never pillOwed upon her bos- oln truer son, nor heaven opened Wlde her portals to receive a manlier spirit"
 In March. 1898. Henry Watterson said In the Louisville Courler-J Journal
 if the democratic party or the re- publican party or the populist party snail make this GOebel conspiracy its own, 1t brings upon itself it's own de- strucuon. or the people of Kentucky are TO longer deseryfng of the right or self government which they will nave surrendered But that they have sunk to such depths of degradation neither the people of Kentucky nor the people or any other commonwealth in tnIs Cnlon have yet given any signs"
 Ioday the Courier-J Journal is the most active and influential agency of Goepellsm, and the chief organ of the Goebelites. and of the Bryanites of Kentucky.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY

Rural free mail delivery is the mos. striking extension of postal facilities brought about in the last four years. pn June 1, 1900. there were 1 200 rrra services in actual operation. and 1000 applications for an extension of the system then in process of establish ment
 The appropriations for the rural free delivery service have been increased from S50,O00 in ths fiscal year 1s97-s to S15ooco in 1S9S-9, then to $45O.OOO in lS99-190o, and lastly to s1, 750. 900 for the present fiscal year 19O0-19O1.
 Three years experience aas shown that in well selected rural districts tne mails can be distributed to the t7nmj- clies Of the addresses or in boxes placed within reasonable distance n. the farm5r's home al some Crossroad or other convenient spot al a cost pcr piece not exec ding the free delivery in many citi@s.
 It was a republican administration that conceived and executed the idea of brghtening the -home of the farmer. educating his children, increasing the value of his land compelling the ilu- p2oveInemt of the reads, and bringing him news of the markets and of the weather, so as to secure him a better price for his crops, by delivering his daily mail to him on his farm.
 Every democratic house of represen- tatives since the ida was first broach- ed of carrying the mails into the rural ist ri ,1r forty-third congress, with a democrat from North Carolina as chairman of the committee on postofices and post roads, proclaimed the plan impossible and turned it down. Postmaster-Gan- eral Bissel, Postmaster-G General Vii son and First-assistant Postmastsr- General Jones. in the Cleveland admin istrdtion, all took up tn cry of eXtrav- agance and impossibiiity of execution.
 Consequently little or nothing was done 10 give the farmers access to the mails until Cleveland went out of of fica.
 When First Assistant Postmaster General Perry $. Heath took up the rural free delivery service under the di- T. ton of the president and the post master-general in 1897, it was languish ing to the point of eXtinguishment and in few months more would have been starved to death.
 They at once graspsd it's possibilities and advocated it's immediate develop ment, and q republican congress gen. erously seconded their efforts. Under their vivifying touch it has grown un- til there is now not a state in the Hn- ion that has not felt the civilizinS and educational influence of the rural fr. e mail delivery, and not one that does not desire further expansion of the szrvice.

the only event n his favor since the
 Kansas City convention, and now that
 has been happily settled. Bryan and
 his satellites have gone up and 1own
 the country preaching the doctrine of hate and un-Americ2 nism and seeking to controvert the evidence of good times, but their work has bean hopeless
 With the possible exception of Colo rado. Idaho, Missouri and Montana, Bryan's electoral votes will come from the southern states. The Pacific coast states are for Mckinley. The Dakotas. Indiana, West Virginia, Maryland and other states which Bryan has claimed will be in the republican column. So far as the composition of the next house is concerned the only question now is the size of the republican majority.
 The Republican does not believe it possible, with the outcome in the states so apparent, that the voters of Arizona will fly in the face of their best interests by permitting a democrat to represent the territory In the next con- gress. A democratic victory here to- morrow would place Arizona outside the pale of congressional favor for four years at least. Statehood would be denied us and millions oi dollars, which only need the stimulus of republican victory to flew in this direction. would be diverted to other regions. Arizona might never again have such an op- po:funEty as is now presented to secure the conlit,On wa;ch mak $ for increlsed wealth and population.
 Every voter, no matter what his poi itics may be. who wants to sec Arizona become a state and secure the means of developing it's marvellous resources. should vote tomorrow for N. O. Murphy for delegate 10 congress. MT. Mur- phys election would give us standing at Washington aud statehood with its attendant blessings would follow.

If there is any man in this territory
 that has the record of Mark Smith down to a scientific demonstration it is Judge c. W. Wright of Tucson. In one of his speeches in the south he recalled the fact that whsn Utah was knocking for admission as a state Mark Smith refused to include Arizona in the state hood bill with Utah when requested by many to do so. claiming at the time that he could get Arizona admitted by a separate bill. 4 prominent Pima county democratic candidate in an at tempt 10 justify Smiths action, in the presence of several witnesses said that Smith was right and his reason for not including Arizona in the same bill was that the bill to admit Utah as q state carried with it woman's suffrage"

A DEMOCRATIC PREDICTION.

The news from the south, from dem ocratic, not republican sources, points to the certain defeat of Mark Smith. MaTicopa county. ghe home of the Wilson sahdbagg rs, will give two hundred majority for Murphy. Pima county is certain for Murphy. also Co., chise. Graham and Gila will give small majorities for Smith. Pinal and Yuma are doubtful. If the north does it's duty then without question Mark Smith will not stuff his oapon- lined belly with Chamberlain's luXuries in Washington at governm- Tt expense. The democratic party of Arizona will te rid of its old man of the sea- and cllansed auI purifiel will assume con trnl of the new state after tha 4sh of March next. when Bryan will be presi- dcEt and a new day will dawn upon the nation. with the people and not the syndiaates in control.-Prcscot Pros pet.
