SAYS RoosEvELT's ELECTION is SURE.
Senator Proctor Expects Him to Garry New
York State.

Senator Redheld Proctor Of Vermont. who was
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night said that
there was no doubt at all about the election OF
President Roosevelt next fall. He predicted that
Roosevelt would carry New-York and that he
would be elected IL New-York went Demo
cratic.
The drift Enthusiastically is setting in toward
the Republicans, and it indicates a Republican
victory just as certainly 1t did four years ago..
said Mr. Proctor. 1T is absurd to assume that
the business and industrial interests OF the ma
ton. after eight years of unexampled prosperity,
will try the experiment of putting the Democrats
in control The Republican administration has done
nothing TO forfeit the confidence of the people. l
do not the so-caed corporate interests
or Wall Street interests that some Of the papers
have said much about are opposed TO con-
tinuance OF Republican prosperity.
THE Northern Securities decision may have an
gered certain men. but, inasmuch il a YER
dict of the highest court there was nothing about
TO Justify the hostility of the people most in
terested in the Republican administration"

his "Commoner" tomorrow that Judge Parker
state his position on all the vital questions at

The only way we have OF judging OF the kind of

The Massachusetts Democrats declare that they

TO prevent any disappointment before the con-

AN ORGAN AND A NEWSPAPER.

The idea seems never 10 have been eradicated entirely from the minds of some people, even of the present day, that while a paper may have party fealty, and political leanings, that, it should therefore be an organ for the political crank to turn at his sweet will, and play the tune set for it by those either in party power or assum- ing it. The legitimate newspaper, with a clean and conscientious record behind it, honest in the expressions of its opinions, endeayors today to fur nish first the news and happenings of the world as it obtains it. This it spreads before its readers as facts that is discovered for the period be- tween the last issue and the present It upholds straightforwardly and con scientiously its convictions toward all that is for the public good, and es- chews what it considers is the oppo- site.
 An organ is a paper, concealing the important facts which it considers are for the party good, regardless of what the people think of the matter. Public veal is sunk in the mire of party par tisanship. News is twisted and turn ed at the demand of the party behest These are the differences between all organ and a newspaper. The Review having no favors to ask for itself oc- cupies the position of the former and endeavors to occupy a place in the ranks of a newspaper. While hon. estly striving to serve the best inter ests of the Democratic party. because that party in the past has, it believes stood more closely 10 the people, and its teachings, more closely adhering to the constitution of the fathers, it is the organ or no man. party or faction.
 This it believes to be the legitimate purposes of clean journalism, bringing DSioEe lHe people oI us CoHAnUH-t! "4- of the facts, for the edifcation of the reader, that he or she, too, may, hay ing digested those facts, form fair conclusion upon the topics of the day as presented. Upon these lines the newspapers of today are being drawn closer and nearer. and it is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when or gans will cease to grind, and the high est elements of the newspaper will oc- cupy the whole field of journalism.

Cochise County's
 Big Assessment
RAPID GROWTH OF THIS COUNTY IS REFLECTED IN INCREASED
 ASSESSMENT LIST.
Board of EqUalization Concludes Its Lsbors at Tombstone and Adjourns to Meet Again August IS, for Hear ing on Increased Assessment.

Chairman Bowen, of the Board of Su- pervisors, returned to the city last evening from Tombstone. where he has been as a member of the board of equalization almost continuously since the first day of July.
 After the labors of the Board of Equalization the assessment roll of Cochise county for the year 1904 foots up within a few thousand dollars of s7.000,000 The figures returned by the assessor showed an increase in the taxable wealth of the county for the past twelve months of s1,200.00 To this was added another s100 900. show ing an approximate increase of $1,300.- GOO since August, 1903
 These figures may be slightly altered on August 15, at which time the board will again meet fer final hearing of raises made by it at the present ses- sion.
 The increase is accounted for by the fact that mining property all over the country was assessed at a higher valu- ation; all patented mines were placed
