A ISLANDER ON YAVAPAI.

F. NJ. Murphy made the next talk. He said he believed in talk, that aboHt all he ever got was gotten by talk. Re did not agree with Mir. Anderson in every particular. His talk, as usual, was made up largely of what he had done for Arizona and what he propos- ed to do. This paper has not sought to be little what MT. Murphy hes done for the real advancement of this section, and he has done a good deai, beyond question, and that good deal he would have done just as we'll had he been a democrat instead of reput- lican, and we have no reference 90 what he has done politically. Politics has nothing to do with man being energetic and progressive. Such men are found in all parties. But, every campaign, MT Murphy and his frienGs come to the front telling what Murpky has done and saying look at that; vote the republican ticket. Hoopla! see what did, what we did; vote the re- publican ticket. I built that railroad, vote the republican ticket; built that house, vote the republican ticket; i! dug that hole in the ground, vote the republican ticket. Now, had ME. Murphy been democrat and kept up his line of procedure along democra- tic lines, the people would be just as sick of it. The people are sick of it. There is no sense in it at all.-Courie..
 Coming from such a back number, and anti progressive element, the asser- tions contained in the above article are downright insult to every inter est in Ysvapai county and Prescott that desires something substantial ac complished. More than that it says to the merchant, the miner, the arti- san, each and every element that is desirious to encourage the introduc- tion of capital, crush down that senti- ment and dispel such an idea. And yet the above paper has the audacitE at this late and favorable day to en- dorse and support the candidacy of Mark Smith for congress, the greatess. burden of industrial inactivity Arizo- na has ever harbored in political | sense.
 MT. Murphy is but human, and iu his conception of what is due the people of YavapaI he resorts to the stump and selects an opportune time 10 illustrate hIs industrial regard of what is due the people. Whether sucb cenes recur Tn this election day, OF whether they have in the past at simi ar dates, only the more is it to be ad hired. Mir. Murphy keenly feels the disastrous doings of the past political y in Arizona, and he is just "keep- ng everlastingly at It.. ' He has that fight, and the people independent of narrow partisan regard demand from he man on the stump just that char cter of wholesome and truthful logic l IT, Murphy is giving the people. The I roper time to give to the bona ide | esident convincing and unanswer- l ble line of action that the day de- ' lands, is right now, and there arei y lany old line democrats that are op- T nly and frankly behind MT. Murphy r 5 he again advances the cause of this T sction in the manner he does for MT. f owler. It is high time for practical q usiness ideas to Ee entertained, not i ne scurrilous and caDkerous oozings q f political demagoguery like the I bove paper would endeavor to preju f ice the voter with on personal F rounds. Wheel into the line of pro- f ress and get out into the daylight of c doin'." "
