DREW THE MASK FROM THE EDITOR OF THE MINER.

THE EDITOR OF THE MINER.
 The Reviews expose of the cheap Republican trick of the evening Re publican organ, which is at present pa rading before the people, a wolf in sheep's clothing, evidently hit the right spot.
 The Review repeats the charge that the attempt of the evening paper to launch an independent" party ID Co- chise county is a Republican trick, TO draw enough votes away from the Democratic party m this county 10 insure a Republican victory 2t the next election. This Republi- can plot was conceived in the mind of an astute Republican politician of Co., Chise county, and was definitely decid- ed upon at a meeting of the hepubli- can faithful, held at Phoenix last Janu- nry. The Miner is being used as the instrument for launching this scheme in Cochise county, and it's editor has Teen promised a front seat at the Re publican pie counter if he can deliv- CT the goods.
 or course it hurts some. iu his frantic appeals flor the people to rule themselves" to have the Review let in the lnelight but as much as we admire the ambitions of the editor of cur esteemed contemporary, it would Hot b. proper to longer allow our readers le be deceived by the motives that u-derly the new party move ment that has reached Cochise coun- ty thrOugh the columns of the even ing Republican organ.
 II our readers will remember. the evening paper at the last election was found in the C. o. p. column ar 80 much per line, and there was an awful row raised in the Republican Centrai Committee until the Miner bill was paid. After it was all over and th- Democratic party again plac- ed in control of affairs in this county. with an able corps of officials at the head, some of the Republicans thought the money paid the Miner was thrown away. They wanted to rapudiate it, but then it was that the brilliant scheme of an independent" party was conceived.
 For the success of the "independ- ent" party headed by the evening or gas there is no hope. It comes at a t'me when the county's affairs are being managed by an able corps of officers; it comes at time when tax s.le property is increasing. and the tax rate decreasing; it comes at a time when there is a clean. business like administration of public affairs, and the only excuse on earth for the launching of the independent" party in Cochise county. is that attributed by the Review. an effort, as a last re- sort, to break the Democratic strength Of this county and an attempt to foisI upon us 9 Republican delegate to Congress Joint statehood and all.
 The editor of the Review believes fin the principles Of the Democratic party, and when the Republicans have Tepudiated Roosevelt. who is attempt ing to put in force true Democratic principles, the people will turn again to the foremost Democrat of the coun- try. w J. Bryan, snd place him in the White House, with a Democratic Congress. to give the people those re- forms and laws for which they clam CT now ia vain. The Democratic par ty is the party of the people. and the principles which brought forth this party will endure forever.
 There have been political parties in the United tSates since the Decla. ration of Independence. There al ways viii be political parties. These parties are founded on principles, not by politicians. and 10 party's princi- pies conte nearer to the true desires Of the people than the Democratic par ty, which has been arrayed against the trusts and the high protective tariff for the past twenty-five years.
 There will be independent parties spring up in the future, ss in the past, but they must come before the people with set Of principles, specific and in detail. and not confine their platform to glittering geoeralities.
