 But on Saturday, after five busy days we can almost hear q wire crying out to give it rest. It seems to oppose us. It IS rebellious. Singular. you say? Not at all. Just nature"
 Not bit of it. Put a tired out man against a tired out wire and you'll do mighty little business. Put a tired out man against a rested wire and you'll fare nearly as i'll. Put a rested man against tired out wire and you will work him to death in no time.

 One of the famous railroad mag mates of the present day owes his rap i'd promotion to the head of q great system of roads to the fact that he kept his trains on time. Other men could not understand how he did it until he explained that he not only gave his train crew rest, but never all lowed his engines to get tired. Even then some of the smart ones smiled. But they'll all come to his theory in the end.
 This will be different old world when it is generally understood that the metals get tired as well as the hu- man beings.

The Dying Senator.

Senator Hanna has been given up to die. There has been fear from the be- ginning that he would not recover from his illness, notwithstanding the state ments of his physicians, which amounted almst assurances. At his age typhoid fever is usually a deadly stroke.
 Hope was abandoned last week when after a swiftly rising temeprature he was struck by a chill which it was thought marked the end. His reaction from that brought a ray of hope, but not a very strong one, for there was ever the possibility. even the prob ability of it's recurrence.
 Now the end has actually begun and hope has been abandoned.
 There have been, within fifty years, only two men in American public life whose approach to death has been ob- served with so great feeling. One was Garfield and the other was MKinley Lincoln died within the half century, but he was dead before the country at large had heard of the tragedy at Ford's theater.
 We may add that there have been few men in American public life who have occupied so much of the favor able attention of the nation.

One of the specifications made hy ter Talbot is that he has been seen with man from Cincinnati by the name of E. R. Crenshaw, who is said to have been sent to this territory to oppose any movement in behalf of President Roosevelt. We have not had the honor of meeting Mir. Crenshaw. and we do not know what his errand here may be. Soon after his arrival, working for an instructed delegation to the republican national convention. announced that MT. Crenshaw had told its reporter that he was the sworn enemy of MT. Roosevelt. The Gazette also claimed 10 have had from MT. Crenshaw that his business here was to keep the republicans of the terri tory from voting for Mir Roosevelt. If papers and if the statements are true the opponents of MT. Roosevelt in the east were lacking in wisdom in their choice of him as agent, for as has been said his consorting has been al- together with the men who are labor ing for an instructed delegation. He, at any rate, could have received no encouragement from Mir Talbot, who is an avowed Roosevelt man. But we have only the unsupported word of the Gazette that he and MT. Talbot ever me-.
Arizona republican., 1904-02-15

We have elsewhere alluded to the cinnati, the supposed agent of the Roosevelt element in Ohio. and the supposed particular agent of George Cox. It may be interesting to learn how MT. Crenshaw proceeded on his mission. He made inquiry for the Hearst man of the Phoenix Enter prise and disclosed to him the nature of his secret err&nd. The meeting is said to have been a convivial one and the Hearst man is said to have been loaded to the gunwales with informa- ton, etc. He was nigh to bursting with the intelligence that an instruct ed delegation was threatened, but he experienced some relief when the En- terprise came from the press on the following afternoon. The Enterprise has referred to this information from time to time since then as exclusive, but it was not, for the Gazette par ticipated in 1t. The Republican was the only paper in town that was "scooped." It was not aware of the presence of MT. Crenshaw until it's contemporaries had conferred with him ss to the best way to beat Roosevelt. It knows he is here now only through the kindness of its democratic and re- publican confidants.

i F. NJ. Murphy before the people of this county and the territory as con tamination. Every man, woman and child in Arizona knows MT. Murphy, and if any one were asked who has done more for the development of the territory than any other man, the answer. we believe. would in every case be- Mir. F. M. Murphy. The Gazette in its issue of tomorrow can not suggest the name of any other man who has done so much. We should be pleased to have it make the attempt, and if 1t should do so We would be pleased to have it be specific. We do not think the citizens of Phoe- nix and the residents of Maricopa county wifi believe that MT. Talbot has disgraced himself, or that he has done anything to- forfeit the high opinion in which he is held, by any asso- citation he may have with MT. F. NJ. Murphy.
 The Gazette discloses it's cause of uneasiness; it's fears are not we'll grounded. in fact not grounded at all. It believes that the object of those working for an uninstructed delega- tion is to secure control of the patro- mage of the territory. Its vision is ob- scured by patronage and graft which. while not necessarily similar, mean the same thing to a newspaper of the perverted morals of the Arizona Ga zette.
 We do not think. nor does anybody else but the Gazette believe, that the patronage will be moved within the four years succeeding the fourth of March next. MT. Roosevelt will be nominated and he will be elected. There is no reason to suppose that he will make any changes in the appoin- tive official list In this territory, whether he receives the support of an instructed delegation or whether he receives the support of an uninstructed delegation.
 If any of the gentlemen who are laboring for an instructed delegation, are doing so for the purpose of hold ing their places. they ought to be de- posed for taking so mean view of the situation and for holding the president in so. low esteem. But we think the Gazette Is practically alone in that groveling view.
 It is with qualification that we say We believe that the assaults of the Gazette upon AIr- Talbot are not in- spired by any one of influence outside of the office of that newspaper. And there is certainly no one of influence within the office. The course of this self-invited advocate and this self elected organ of the territorial admin istration, must be very embarrassing to Governor Brodie, Territorial Auditor Nichols and other honorable gentlemen who differ from us honestly on the question now before the republicans of the territory. and who do not think We are scoundrels because we differ from them and who we not think are scoundrels because we cannot agree with them just now.

A VIlIainous Assault.

Some of the newspaper readers of Phoenix and vicinity. but fortunately very limited number of them, are be- ing treated just now to the most con- tetnptible specimen. of journalism ever put on exhibition in this part of the country. The Arizona Gazette seems to be incapable of understanding that 1t is possible for men to differ honest ly as to any proposition. It is unable 10 see above the level of the muddy puddle in which it stands and whose banks bound it's political horizon.
 The republicans of the territory are divided on the question Of choosing q delegation to the republican national convention. Or, we may say, they are not divided on the question of the choosing Of the delegation, but upon the course 10 be pursued after the delegation has been chosen. A very considerable part of the party believes that the delegation should not be in- structed. Another considerable part believes that it should be instructed, but all the republicans believe that the delegation should cast it's vote for President Roosevelt. The only point of dispute, therefore. is regarding the matter of instruction.
 In this case, therefore, there is noth- ing material depending, so far as Mir Roosevelt is concerned. but The Re publican along with, we believe. ma jority of the republicans of Arizona, is opposed to the principle of instruc- tion.
 That, however. has nothing to do with the matter in hand; we are deai- ing with the infinite eontemptlbility of the Gazette. In a recent issue it made a villainous attack upon MT Walter Talbot who has been put forward as candidate for delegate from this county. It charged him with subser- viency, intimated dishonesty of pur- pose and hinted that he had not long been a republican. Before going farther we would again remind the people of the county that MT. Talbot has pub licly said that he is for Roosevelt and
 
 he would vote for him. Does anybody who knows MT. Talbot believe that he would do otherwise? While we are asking questions we would also ask. If question of veracity were to arise between the Gazette and MT. Talbot which would the people of this county believe? We do not mean some of the people, but all of them, including the Gazette and its friends. Nor do we mean any particular question of verac- ity but any one. We believe that the Gazette in the innermost recesses of it's heart would believe MT. Talbot rather than itself
 The scurr!lous assault which it has made upon a gentleman, than whom none more fully enjoys the confidence of the community. can in no way in jure him. His place here is too we'll fixed He has been for years as active in the party as a good citizen should be but he has never possessed the activity of the giafter.
 A most ridiculous feature of the at tack made upon Mir. Talbot consists in the association of him with MT. F. M Murphy. It happens that MT. Murphy and MT. Talbot are opposed to the hampe.ing of the delegates to the na- tional convention with instructions. There is ground for association there. The ridiculousness of the thing is that the Gazette should attempt to pat Mir.
