IVES AND THE GLUTTONOUS
ORGAN.

The Phoenix Republican continues to
exhibit it's sore spots and the marks OF
the lash inflicted by the Hon. Eugene S.
Ives Ii is difficult to blame the Repub-
lican. 1t lie suffering pain, it is aching
all over, and there are no visions OF
soothing balms and comfort on the
horizon OF the future. The walls of the
Republican are deep and full of anguish.
Poor old Lazarus was never more an
object OF pity. Its squirms, reveal in
ward torture, and are calculated to de-
stroy mirth and JOY in those who witness
them.
The suffering organ OF Murphy at the
Territorial capital charges all it's woes
and misfortunes to Eugene Semmes
Ives, OF Yuma. In this the Republican
shows that it is not entirely devoid OF
intelligence. though If it delved deeper,
and diagnosed its disease more pro-
foundly, it would probably have
reached the conclusion that Ives merely
performed surgeons part and was in
no way responsible for the malady. 1t
is an old maxim applied to the science
of medicine that desperate disease re-
qulres desperate remedy. The Repub-
| lican was rotten to the core. 1t had fed
too long on bribes and public plunder !;
1t had grown arrogant at the expense of
the taxpayers; ii had become wanton in
its depravity, and Surgeon Ives found it
necessary to prescribe modification aud
inAict sore wounds in an effo. t to re-
habilitate it in state of wholesomeness.
We haven't a doubt that it panied
Ives to apply the scalpel to the Repnb-
lican. He is q kindly man, generous
and considerate, with overfiowing good
nature. These traits are often found in
successful surgeons, and II Ives treat
ment of the Republican does not prove
successful, IL will be his first marked
failure. Ives carefully and inteIligentlY
diagnosed the disease OF the Republican,
and analyzed the conditions springing
from the malady. He found the Repub-
licsn suffering from too much Murphy,
and consequently Rluttonous in its ap-
petite for public plunder. This was
most dangerous maiady and required o
severe remedy. Ives prescribed penance
and administered this emetic--which
was not written by him

VICKERS, Republican"
This made the Republican real sick,
as the Yankees would say, but IL was in
considerate enough to put the blame
on the Doctor. 1t also was foolish
enough to make an awful public
exhibition OF it's pains and sores.
DIR. Ives, being convinced that his
prescription of publicity was not suf-
ficiently reformatory, prepared more
potent and powerful dose. He laid
careful prescription in the district court
of Maricopa county, calculated to make
the main guy of the Republican cough
up all the Territorial contingent funds
that had been gluttonously consumed
for some time previous. The prelim-
mary indications warrant the assurance
that this prescription will be entirely
effective, and in anticipation, the Re-
publican is writing in it's very worst
pains!
Ives is a most successful practitioner,
and his success with the Republican
has endeared him to the people OF the
Territory. He is man of courage and
ability. of character and public spirit,
of resource and memory, and his
operations on the Republican have as.
sured his future in the confidence and
respect of the people of Arizona.
