afford to keep books on cut rate sales

AN AMUSING INCIDENT-The. En-
terprise in yesterdays issue. performed
its peTfunctory party service of pre-
senting Il heavy editorial on the sub
1cct of the recently chosen democratic
candidates for city councilmen. In
doing so it sets forth at length the
virtues of o. w. Lawrence as the can
didate in the Fourth ward. Unfortu-
nately it was A. II. Lawrence who was
nominated and The Republican in it's
issue of yesterday morning inadvert-
emily made a mistake in confounding
the initials of the two men Knowing
that the Enterprise reads The Repub-
lican with religious regularity this
announcement is made that the demo-
cratic organ may discover, even though
Il he at late hour, just who its can
didate really is.

THE LATEST ISSUE.-The latest
issue brought forward by the local
democrats who favor Cleveland rather
| than Hearst is that of water supply.
They point to the spring and summer
of 1884 when Cleveland's first boom
assumed proportion, as a precedent.
| During that season there was an I'M
usually long period of high water in
! Salt river, the ferry boats running
both at Phoenix and Tempe all through
| the month of July. Another rema rlI-
able year was 1886. right in the middle
! of Cleveland's administration, when
| both the Salt and ella rivers were
| bank full for months. Henry Morgan
says he ran his ferry boat on the ella
for six months during that year. These
facts ought to insure a Cleveland dele
CATION to Tucson, from Maricopa
county, but they probably won't for
the Hearst boomers will never take
water.
