Arizona republican., 1901-11-19


 this paper: but anyone that is low enough to syTpathize, even indirectly
 with the kind of men who assassinate presidents or indorses the eachings Of such men, or compliments the position taken by Wellington (we will not call him senator). need not look to the Re
 publican for consolation. And we con fess that as concerns such questionable characters and those lending or selling their services to them, The Republican will find it difficult to treat them with the consideration they may think they
 deserve.
 When the telegram complained of
 was received. excitement and sorrow filled every honest and sympathetic heart. And, coming as it did from q reputable citizen. and The Republican being familiar with the soclalistic and anarchistic mouthings of the party to
 whom the telegram referred, as evi- Genced through his paper and other wise, which gave the message every appearance of consistency, published it. It was stated. however. at the ! time. that it was hard to believe that
 any sane man could be so depraved as to give utterance- to such expressions. If we have done anyone an injustice
 we are sorry and humble; but when we are asked to submit to blackmail we most respectfully but firmly decline; and we will continue to handle anyone engaged in the business without gloves.
 r. .-e,-,ire +o To ,,ro,.ar I,o.,- ,,,--,I, St. Charles has been damaged. and to
 be seen how much the attorneys real ize. If damages are to be measured by notoriety and prominence, the 2tohave county editor and those associated with him may conclude before they are
 through that they are being over-paid. '- There is another class of so-caIled at- toraeys, even worse than the ordinary
 blackrnaiIer who are a curse to Ari- zona. Sorry to say they are to be found in every community. but Arizona has an overdose Of them. We refer now to the low-down political schooner who is utterly devoid Of principle. and whose services are always available when any dirty political job is to be engineered. Such creatures have no re- gard for the truth. do not hesitate to rI1isrepresent or lie in their attempt tn deceive those who are. net familiar with the true situation.
 It is claimed, and there are many people throughout the territory who would not hesitate to vouch for the statements, that 'Sittin' Bull Wilson Of Tucson and the Tammanyite poiiti- elan from Yuma named Ives. belong to this class. They are. however. thor oughly understood in Arizona. and it is only 9 matter of time when the people they are trying to deceive outside the territory will come to realize their utter worthl@ssness and irresponsibiI- ity. Such men never hesitate to assail the character Of reputable people in their efforts to gain scme little politi- cal advantage. They rarely. if ever. cucceed-at any rate only InOmentari- ly. Just now these hirelings are doing the bidding of certain political para sites and are attacking directly Or in directly nearly all. if not all. of the :eioraI officials holding commissions from the late president. To the credit or Arizona it can be said, however. that these gentry are not endorsed by decent democrats nor any of the better re- publicans.
 Arizona is getting hit pretty hard by these self-appoiuted. irresponsible po- Htioal guardians of territorial interests. Their work will prove the most serious obstacle to overcome in our fight for statehood.
