ARIz0NA'S WELCOME.
Territory is Prepared to Receive Los
 Angeles Business Men.

The press of Arizona has extended q hearty welcome to the Los Angeles bankers, merchants and manufacturers who propose to visit the territory in Septem bcr, on business and pleasure solely. The Coconiuo sun says that "they will receive d hearty aud most generous welcome from the business erous cities they intend visiting; q re- cepliou that will dispel any derogatOry idea they might entertain through Un- friendly or iliy-informcd sources. The visit to our territo Y Of the-e repre- sentative Los Angeles men will have q tendency 10 bring about closer business relations, and whaG the interests Of the two sections shall nave become inutual-@hicb i7 the case now, and will be realized upon closer acquaint- ance-Arizona will lind in those pro- gressing Southern Californians friends who will not be backward in extending a helping hand to a77i7l in matters de- serving"
 The Flagstaff San. after publishing the plan Of the proposed excursion, says: "The party proposes to occupy not less than twelve days on the trip, during which time it will visit Phoe- nix, Tucson, Bisbee, Douglas, Clifton and Globe, returning west via the Santa F. route, calling upon WiOslow, Flagstaff, Williams. Jerome. Prescott and Kingman. The Arizona mer- -rrart wttt cZZrcnd the glad hand and talk business"
 The Tucson Post 'goes wrong" in it's conception of the objects Of the cXcur- sion, which it says are ito appease the opposition to Senator Bard coming from some sections Of Arizona.' There k nothing political in the proposed visit of Los Angeles business men to Arizona. The trip is to combine bUsi- ness with pleasure, and there k not q political aspect to it, of any kind or description.

Behold Democrats.

We are somewhat curious to know what kind of platform our terri torial convention will adopt this fall
 1T it follows in the footsteps of the St. Louis convention, ignores the Kansas City platform and approves the gold standard. this story will go re- publican. The voting strength of Ari- zoEa democracy is composed of wage earners who became democrats because they believed the doctrines taught by that party were calculated to promote the interests and preserve the rights of the plain people. If they fad the patty Is to abandon those doctrines and embrace the political hereses of Parker and Davis then there will be d revolt that will end in defeat for Ari- zona'e democracy. The proper and only thing for Arizona democracy to do is to ignore the acts of the St. Louis convention aud reaf1irm their allegiance to genuine principles Be fo"e the lapse of the next four years, the real democrats will have regdiued control of the party machinery aud purgCd the management of those false leaders who have succeeded in betraN- ing the national democracy into the hands ol the money and other trusts.
