Bisbee daily review., 1904-04-30
na,c reason to hope that it cannot be worked on May IA.

get Tar chance they may block the game. and the syndicate nay not have
 40 delegates, rc- even half that num-
 Der. and this syndicate may get a les son And if this fails then the lesson
 will only be delayed. It will be taught
 Iiost emphatically at Tucson on May 2s.
 It is true that the. disorganizing re- organizers have their followers in other
 counties, and l could name them all :
 The Tucson Citizen, and Judge Rouse
 in Pima; Elenwood in Yavapai, and
 Dr. Whiteside in Mohave, all pap
 suckers under Cleveland. and who
 hope to be pap suckers under his sub stitute.
 If the Bisbee Review and its man
 agers do not believe in the Kansas | City platform why do they not come
 out in the open and say so? The an swer is easy. They dare not do it.
 They know that the Kansas City
 platform has been promulgated and re-
 affirmed by two national conventions. and has been three times reaffirmed
 by the Democracy of Arizona in con yention assembled, and that it is the political confession of faith of more than four-ffths of the Democrats of Arizona, and of Cochise county as well; and that to attack 1t would leave them with less than a corporars guard of Democrats. But they dis credit it insidiously.
 For more than year the Bisbee Review has been publishing the syn dicate literature of the reoganizers, and of the Republican press as well. never failing to repeat the malicious and scurrilous falsehoods of both against William J. Bryan, the greatest living apostle of the Democracy of Jackson and Jefferson.
 Some of Packard's friends have de nied that he, in the meeting of the Territorial Central Committee. ex- pressed himself as favorable 10 CIeve- lands substitute for President and op- posed to William R. Hearst. as re- ported by many members of that com mltiee, and repeated in the Phoenix Press. but though almost two weeks have elapsed I have not heard of his denial; but notwithstanding this. if Mr P~2kard will now come out and declare that. if elected a delegate to the St Louis convention. he will Joy. ally support the Kansas City platform and a candidate for President who by his record can stand on that platform. will not only vote for him as I have always done. but I will also try to get him as many votes as I can by argll- nent and persuasion.
 Respectfully yours.
 JAMES REILLY.
 The esteemed gentleman from Tombstone has. by his open letter, read himself out of the Democratic party of Cochise county, and for WHY? Because, forsooth, the gentle man was not allowed to control and dictate the actions of the County Cen. -ral Committee. which met in Bisbee 1 on April 23, and to put through a con- cocted scheme planned and arranged | Dy a private caucus, to which only a | favored few were invited. or wanted | present..
 The gentleman from Tombstone | leralded his coming beforehand in an | open letter, published throughout the | ,ounty, in which he advocated the i election Of delegates in a mass con. i 'ention and expressed himself as op- | posed to the committee making the appointments, according 10 the prece | lent followed in this county for years | past.
 The gentleman from Tombstone was in fayor of convention at the ime he left Tombstone for Bisbee and n this point he was sustained by the ull committee, who in all their pro ;eedings, endeavored, as nearly as possible, to follow out the recommen- iations of the Territorial Committee, y which authority the Central Com nittee of this county had been assem- oled. And what were the recon nendations of the Territorial Com nittee on this subject. The official all states as follows: ]
 THE RESPECTIVE DEMOCRAT. C CENTRAL COMMITTEES OF THE SEVERAL COUNTIES OF THE TER ABE DIRECTED TO GALL COUNTY CONVENTIONS FOR THE AMONG.
