A. B. Kempton and his two
daughters, Misses Laura and Z!-
pab, were visitors IN the city on
Wednesday from Eden.
Mr.. Kempton say, the crops in
the vicinity Of Eden have been
good considering the long droutb.
This is accounted for by the fact
that they received a fairly good
supply of water, through seepage.
lie also reports that the ward is
in excellent condition, all the or
Ganizations working nicely.
One night last week nearly every
person in the town met at the
meeting house to tender a farewell
party to L. NJ, and Wesley Colviu

ception to David Rogers and fam.

singing, speeches and recimtions
was given and delicious refresh
ments were served. The two Col
vim families have moved to the
Tonto dam, and the Rogers family
has moved to Eden from Pims,
Mr.. Rogers having purchased the
Levi Curtis farm.

IN POLITICAL CIRCLES

The Democratic political pot in
| Graham county is beginning tC
boil. And yet there Is apparently
no reason for this for it is general
| ly understood that the Republi.
cans will place no ticket in the
field this year, although they may
awake later and attempt to do
something.
| Democrats are coming to light
in all quarters. So far the only
pronounced aspirants for legisla-
tive honors are Hon. II. B. Rice
and Hon. w. T, Webb, although
numerous democrats are advocat-
ing Wiley b. Jones for legislative
honors, that gentleman having an
nounced that he will not be can
didate for district attorney.
Jim Parks is so far the only can
didqte for sheriff. There are others
mentioned but none have as yet
got to the surface.
Two names are announced for
superyoirs, Baylor Shannon and
B. Il. Bi1lingly. G. NJ. Layton is
also being advocated. All three
are successful business men.
At least two names will b. pre-
sented to the convention for dis
trict attorney, Charles L. Rawlins,
the present incumbent and Judge
Edwards. Frank LANES name is
also taxed of in connection with
this office. II is understood that
if the Republicans nominate a tick
ct Lee N Stratton will decline the
nomination. In such an event i'll
will give clear field to Attorney
Kearney, so far as the nomination
is concerned OF course the eloc
tion will block ! is progress
While there are no announced
candidates for school supcrinten-
dent, it is said there viii be four
names for the convention to choose
from. VIM. A. Moody, the pres
ent incum bent, A, G. McAlistei, of
Solomonville, Tbeo. Shirley, off
Metcalf and Jos. H. Lines, of Pima.
If the way the wind blows is
any indication Nit Simms will re
ceive the nomination for recorder
by acclamation, as will also Judge
P. @, Little for probate judge.
The treasurer's office seems to
be the one most sought for this
year -Four prominent democrats
are already candidates, with sew
eral others prospective Those in
the field now are j. G. Robinson,
Ben r. Clark, Geo. Carlton and
DR.. Burtch.
Judging from the class Of men
whose names will be presented to
.he convention that body will have
no difficulty in presenting a ticket
20 the people that all can conscicn-
.iously support.

THE PLATFORM ANSWERS

IHE TLHITUnM hNOVLnv
The IMorenci Leader of July 10th
reproduced the editorial of the
GUARDIAN of July Sth in which
this paper advocated the nomina-
tion of W. R. Hearst and comments
on it by saying that this paper can
support the nominee only by swal-
lowing its words. Evidently Bro.
Cleveland has not read the Demo
cratic platform, written and agreed
upon by democrats from every
section of the United States. We
commend it to bis careful consid-
GRAFTON. This platform covers the
whole problem and the democrats
can afford to accept the nominee,
whoever he might have been, upon
such pledges. And in this con-
nection we may add that Demo
Gratis carry out the pledges made
in their platform. Mr.. Hearst was
our choice and we did not believe
that the Cleveland wing of the
party would accept such plat
form, pledging the government to
the suppression of unlawful com
bines and the emancipation of the
people. But they did agree to it
else Judge Parker would not hav Q
been nominated. Even now Judge
Parker is not our choice nor the
choice Of a vast majority of the
Democratic party, but the platform
upon which he is running is so far
superior to the Republican plat
form that the people can afford to
accept him.
We reproduce few Of the
planks from the Democratic plat.
form which are enough in them
selves to commend the ticket to all
Democrats and even to honest Re
publicans, such Republicans as
Bro. Cleveland is known to be:
"The Democratic party has been
and will continue to be the consis-
tent opponent of that class of tariff
legislation by which certain indiv-
iduals have been permitted,
through congressional favor to
draw heavy tribute from the
people. This mon
strous pervasion of those equal OPP
portunities which our institutions
were established to secure has
called what may once have been
infant industries to become the
greatest combinations of capital
that the world has ever known"
"We recognize that the gigantic
trusts and combinations designed
10 enable capital to secure more
han its just share of the joint pro
luet Of capital and labor, and
which have been fostered and pro
noted under Republican rule, are
. menace to beneficial competition 4
