THE DELEGATION AND HANDOUTS.

If the Territorial Convention at
 Tucson wishes to muzzle and clamp
 mouth their delegation to the Nation
 al Convention, it is to be presumed
 that with a majority in the convention
 the six honorable gentlemen, who will
 represent" the Democracy in it's Ma
 uonal council, will be properly sealed
 up, and shipped east. as a consign-
 ment of ossified representatives with
 about the same influence in what will
 De done at that convention. as Satan
 would have at the seat of the White
 Ihrone. Of course, whatever may
 be done at Tucson, will affect the Ma
 tional election in the proportion of
 a dewdrop on the face of the Atlantic:
 still it would be to the credit of Ari.
 zona Democracy. and to the best in
 terests of the Territory. to have her
 delegation go uninstruc.ed. Unin
 sructed, they would have some
 respect shown them. They might be
 interviewed, and solicited to do some
 thing, and thereby work in some thing
 Arizona is vitally interested in. but
 It Will be farce to think of six dele
 gates going there, their mouths seal
 ed except to sputter that they wer
 shipped to announce they were ore
 fixed Democrats from Arizona. and
 were all fixed" before they left home If there is any earthly reason fo sending an instructed delegation to St. Louis, will some person kindly pro- duce it? As far as has yet beeI shown, the only VISIBLE reason ad 1 yanced, has been the "unselfsh" time expended by some hired men from ! Phoenix principally, who discovere | that other sections of the Territory did not know what was aiIing them l and that an injection of "Hea-stism' would fix all their troubles. They did succeed in squirting some of the virus into a large number of people Who have pretty good hold on the public teat at present. and who have made their living principally from that source, and are still anxious to keep off thc terrors of work, in any form They did not stop there. but abuse came too, and about everybody that refused to be stampeded at the vulga sight of a bank-roll, and the bank rolls hired emissaries.
 It is imparting no secrets to say that one of Mir, Hearsts direct travel ing pocket-book carriers. (not of tn hired brigade), early sought the Re view office in aid of his side show like the advance agent Of a Floto cir GUS. The Review stood then. as stands now, for an uninstructed dele gation to St. Louis because the in fluence of an uninstructed delegation IS. and must be more and greate than one instructed for a candidate who has the same chance of being as the man under tn headstone in the Bisbee cemetery ha of returning to life No persol knows who the nominee at St. I,oui will be. The ''pre-fxed Democrats seized upon the name of Parker, an, III who are not in favor of rushing to the Hearst pie restaurant, were by Hearst mouths christened Parker Democrats. The Democratic party not confined to Judge Parker. It ha any number of good and available mel who would represent the banner. O rue Democracy anywhere in th world, as candidates for the presiden cy, and who would successfully lead a wining fight against the common enemy, on the Republican side, and free delegation would act with hon ssty and intelligence in that conyen ion, capable on the ground, of iudg ng what was best for them to do on behalf of Arizona There are other Democratic in this county than "pre- iX" Democrats, men who are no iwed at the sight of money bag de irving money bags, men who have stood by the party until the have 'rown gray in the service, and who Ire still to be found on the firing line. These men refuse to have hired emis- 'aries pin buttons on their coats and nave crammed down their throats. in 'tructions to support a pro-candidate, who has an army of men from the ills of Aroostook county, in Maine. to he Golden Gate in California, going bout with check-book in one hand md trunk full of handbills in thel ther. exploiting to the skies what the ;heckbook owner has done for the Common people" What a horse hat common people" is to get on
