"George Fl. Kelly, the editor
OF many newspapers, made IL very
good speech-one Of the best Of
the evening-but that portion Of II
in regard to division and removal
attracted the greatest applause.
Mr.. Kelly said that he had already
expressed his view favorably to
division in the last issue OF the
Bulletin, but did not propose To
commit himself in regard to the
proposition us made by Mr.. Colqu
houn for the removal Of the county
seat from Solomonville to Clifton;
that while there might be some
reason for such an effort to be
made, there conld be no possible
excuse, in Il county 10 miles wide
and 2oO miles long, for removing
the county seat from Solomonville
to Stafford, istance of only five
miles and that III the opposite di-
rectlon from the center Of popula-
tiOn."
] he above speech is reported by
the C"4psr Era to have been de-
ii cred at u "smoker" given in
Clifton last week by Supt. Colqu-
houn, as ii farewell to his employees.
No one will longer doubt that
Bro. Kelly has no use for Stafford
and would do all in his power to
send the county seat to Clifton
rather than To Stafford. If the
county seat was located at this
place it would not be long until
Stafford would be only second to
Phoenix. There is every reason
Tor the county seat to come here

In u recent interview in st.

the outlook for the Democracy
was bright and the chances of sue

very day.
"What do you think Of the So
called reorganization Of the Demo.

basis?" be was asked.
"Sound money is not the basis
on which it is proposed to reor-
ganize," said Mr.. Bryan, at is
only the pretended basis. The
men who are trying to reorganize
the Democratic party want not
only silver but other vital planks
of the platform eliminated This
was indicated by an interview
which Mr.. Hill. Of New York, gave
out after the last election. He not
only found fault with the silver
plank, but with four or five others.
The reorganizers would place the
Democratic party under the con-
troll of the great corporations and
trusts of this country"
Mr.. Bryan was asked his views

"Do you consider the present
law adequate to deal effectively
with these questions?"

this: The laws now on our sta

Washington, May 6 There will
be no conference between Attor-
ney General Knox, representing
the United States, and Attorney
General Davies, representing the
State Of New York on one side and
responsible men representing the
beef trust on the other. his de-
cision was made in Washington
last Tuesday, after very pointed
conferences at the Department OF
Justice.
The first that was known about
the astounding proposition appear
ed in New York paper this morn
ing, and was widely spread The
story was that Mr.. SuIzeberger of
;sthwartzchild & SuIzeberger had
said the price Of beef would come
down to the normal figure within
thirty days, when the grass-fed
cattle come in from Texas.
1t was clearly an attempt to
bring the attorney general of the
State Of New York to conference
with representatives of Il combina.
ton which that official will be re-
quired to prosecute criminally and
also to proceed against civilly.
Attorney General Davies, ac-
companied by Comptroller Miller,
of New York, appeared in Wash
ington this morning, paid quick
visit to the White House, and then
called on Attorney General Knox,
where they had long conference,
taking leave Of the attorney gen.

Small Pox

1t seems that hardly a town in
the county is entirely free from
small pox or Manila it b, at tie
present time.
One case is known to exist in
Stafford although the patient is now
almost well. tie is Ben Crane.
One day last week he went into
Nat Wanslee's saloon, complaining
of feeling badly and asked permis-
sion to lay down in loom to the
rear of the saloon. He was still
there next morning. when DR..
Platt was called and found that he
had small pox. He has been kept
quarantined ever since.
At Eden a mbcr of cases are
reported and all public gatherings
have been discontinued and every
effort is being used to stamp out
the disease.
Just north of Thatcher there are
four cases in a Mexican family.
The city authorities have insti-
tuted a strict quarantine so that
there is very little danger of it
spreading from there. On Monday
last it was discovered that Mrs.
Henry Moody was suffering from
the disease. DR.. Warner and
Marshal Bingham Immediately
established quarantine. The city
authorities propose to use strict
measures to prevent the spread of
the disease
People should be vaccinated as
this is a sure preventative.

THAT NOTED CASE

A great deal has been said and
pub ished concerning the acquittal
of Mcintosh charged with tn mur
der Of Reilly, some intimating
that in order to reach such de-
ciSion bribery was used. Some
people openly declare that such
was the case and that witnesses
were also Gribed, while others as
firmly declare that the prosecution
was weak, many points that might
have been brought out to show
that Mcintosh was guilty Of wilful
murder, never appearing. 1t is
said that the prosecution was in
possession Of ReillJ's dying state
ment, signed by several witnesses,
but it was never introduced in
court. 1t seems to us that such y
statement would have had great
weight with the jury.
We want it distinctly understood
that we are not defending the jury
but we wish to state that if any
person is in possession Of the
knowledge that the jury or wit
nesses we've bribed, they are equal
ly guilty if they do not reveal ii
TO the proper officials.
The people of this vally depIore
the result of that trial equally as
much as those of eastern Graham
county and yet the jury may have
been honest in its decision. We
are informed that many witnesses
did not testify to what they knew;
that their testimony, it they had
testified to all they knew, woulo
have been in support Of that Of MI
Dunuigan, and that other ey,
witnesses were spirited away and
never appeared in court. If the
Jury was honest no blame is at
tached to them; if they were
bribed, it should certainly be
proven. If anyone has this know
ledge let them divulge it to the
proper officers or keep still.
There was one erroneous state
ment published concerning Judge
Doan's order discharging the jury.
1t was published that his order ex
cluded them from ever again sit
ting as jurymen, and ordering the
clerk, should their names ever be
drawn, to cast them from the box.
This is not true. Following is the
Judges order as it appears on the
record.
at is ordered by the court that
the following trial jurors be dis
charged from further service at
this term, to-wit:
(Here is inserted the names OF
the Mcintosh jury,) and the clerk
is hereby ordered to take the /
names from the jury box" The
