LET WISDOM PREVAIL.

llDefdl nlhucu pcISOl, having dU
heart the success ofthe Democratic
ticket cannot fail to regret the
editorial language of the Bulletin
asst week following Immediately
upon the adjournment Of the
Democratic convention.
The precinct of Clifton is the
banner precinct in Graham county
and we must look to that precinct
and other large ones for Il strong
vote to insure the success Of the
Democratic ticket at the approach.
ing election. The Democrats Of
Clifton at their primary mass
meeting adopted certain rcsolu-
tions expressing their views upon
certain matters in which they
were interested as voters Of the
county and residents Of Clifton
precinct. The discussion Of all
resolutions adopted by the county
convention is certainly to be eX.
pectcd, but it was certainly intcm-
peratc to criticise the action Of the
Democrats Of Clifton in their pri-
mary mess meeting, as that is not
an issue before the people.
The county convention has nom
mated four candidates from Cliff
ton precinct and seven from that
end Of the county out Of Il total Of
twelve nominees. The loyal demo.
Gratis Of Clifton certainly have a
right to present to the Democratic
convention Of Graham county,
their views upon the matter Of the
education Of our children, or any
other matter ofpublic consequence
That precinct above all others in
Graham county has the right to u
respectful hearing before a Demo,
cratic convention in Graham
county. Her loyalty in the past
should hc Il guarantee not to be
questioned. The BuRetm has per,
sonaI interest in the Democratic
ticket this time but every think
ing person will say that the success
Of the Democratic ticket depends
largely upon the loyalty Of those
persons who have been loyal to
the ticket in the past aud stead
fastly opposed the efforts Of all
malcontcns to defeat it al
{, the polls Above all things har
mony is essential TO Democratic
success in Graham county. Let
the Bmittn invite the aid Of the
steadfaSt supporters Of Democracy
| in Graham county. Democratic
success MUST come, and it WILL
come, in Il great measure, from
those whom the Bulletin has op
posed up to the meeting Of the
Democratic convention. These
are true words; they are plain
words, but success to the ticket is
what we want. The success Of the
ticket in Graham county must not
be ieopardized by the hot headed
incorporate words Of any one
Let the campaign be urged by
those whose loyalty to the ticket
at the last election will bring to
the Democratic ticket support
whicl will be sorely needed as the
campaign wakes warm.
The Democratic committee OF
Graham county, the executive
committee, and the officers of those
committees must see rs best they
can, that any attacks upon the ex
pressions Of Democratic individ
, uals, Democratic precincts, OF
Democratic communities, as tc
matters Of public interest, shall
not not countenanced, for a mo.
ment to stand as the wish of the
Democracy Of Graham county.
Clifton, the banner precinct Of
Graham county, has the free right
to give expression to her views
her delegates were men of worth
and loyalty; Morenci, with her
large delegation had the right to
that respectful consideration which
she received, and no one will be fol,
lowed or endorsed in any effort
that may made to thrust criticisms
upon either ofthose delegations, or
any other delegations where the
Democrats have expressed their
wishes or views by resolutions or
in any other way.
