and his law. Colonel Harlow, of No gales, could not come up to the stand ard prescribed by Allen T. Bird for the republican candidate for congress in Arizona, towit: That he should possess both eloquence and dough, and dropped out of the running. All the time the laymen were smelling the political woods for an available candi- date. Murphy had Morrison up his sleeve He was not troubling himself hunting a candidate. He did not plo- pose to allow Murphy to be left out of the campaign this fall and this he made manifest when he made his DO litical record an issue by having it en- dorsed in the territorial platform.
 Murphy has held his position .as supreme dictator and boss by forcing the nomination of his personal repre- sentative; Morrison will defend the Yavapai bond legalization; he will en- dorse the legalizing of the Pima coun ty bonds which republicans are now asking congress to relieve the county from paying; he will er- dorse everything that has the Murphy brand upon it, and why should he not; he's Murphy's man and that Is the only reason for his nomination; if any other would have pleased Mur- phy better Morrison would have been shunted to make room for him.
 One reason which probably caused Murphy to pick out Morrison was his well known hatred of the Mormon people. The Mormons have soaked Murphy every time they have had an opportunity and he no doubt wanted to hand them slap in return by nominating the most notorious Mor- mon -hater in the west. That man IS Bob Morrison and he went on record as such in the Arizona republican con vention in 1890 when, as chairman or the committee on platform and reso- lutions, he reported to the convention and secured the adoption of the fol lowing resolution denouncing the Mormon people, who undoubtedly have done more to reclaim the deserts O. Arizona than any other class or creed. Here is the resolution report ed by Mir. Morrison and adopted by the republicans in 1890:
 "The history of the Mormon church in the United States means an eccle- siastical control that has ever been aggressive, exacting and tyrannical and whose boast has ever been that the Mormon church and people do not and will not assimilate with the peo- pie of our country; whose dominat- ing tenet is polygamy; whose doc Urine is to segregate its people from all others in their, affairs; who vote as one man under the dictation of its priesthood and only for those who may be used for its base purposes; that as a people they are un-American and disloyal, and for less reasons than these the Chinese have been refused citizenship and are excluded from our country; that the Mormon in our midst is constantly increasing; that the evil of their lives is blot on the i good name and fair fame of our terri tory, and that if we allow this vice to continue, we can hope to harvest from this vice only evil; and therefore, we the republicans of Arizona in conven. tion assembled, do hereby demand of congress that before it adjourns il shall pass the bill now pending before
 it, known as an act for the 'Purifica ton of elections in Arizona
 In due time we suppose Morrison and Murphy will take the stump; it Is very likely that they will have to go it alone. Republican orators in Ari
 zona have long since exhausted their wits in the defense and praise of Mur
 phy; there's nothing new in his his
 tory or record that could add anything
 to what they. have said time and again, and they will mostly likely re
 main at home. In the mean time Ari
 zona will remain true to the demo
 cratic faith, but Murphy will file the
 nomination of Morrison with Mark
 Hanna as evidence that he is yet the
 supreme boss of his party in Arizona | In Maricona couaty q counle of ex.
