THE TERMINATED CORPSE

The Shameful Manner in Which the Bones
 of the JefferSOnianS We're DeSeCrated
The Men Who Were Put Down and Out Years Ago Yesterday Took Full Control o Party Affairs in MaricOpa County

back and transfer its thanks to Senator Joseph B. Foraker, the man who iu spite of the president had given Arizona the chance of saving itself.
 The resolutions recounted the ire quent and eminent services of Delegate Smith in behalf of the territory and also reiterated that Bryan was the bull wark of the country against the en- croachments of corporate wealth or would be a god bulwark if he were giv- en the opportunity.
 Recurring again to local affairs the platform set forth two resolutions in serted into the report at the request of George Purdy Bullard. the sole pros pective candidate for district attorney. One of them related to the collection of delinquent taxes. The resolution pledges the nominees of the legislature in the event of their election to secure an amendment of the law by which litigation for the collection of these taxes shall be instituted by the office of the district attorney without any j. expense to the delinquents The other resolution provides that the mem bers l Of the legislature from this county shall i endeavor to secure a law by which jus
 tices and constables in cities shall be paid salaries in lieu of fees and. by 1 which al fees allowed by law and oth- ] CT sources or income from thosn offices shall be turned into the county treas ury. Another resolution provided that
 the live stock laws of the territory
 should be so amended that they would | confer no privileges on any class
 though at the same time affordirg all : necessary protection to the live stock interests.
 WHERE TROUBLE AROSE. l That was all there was of the original report but Eugene Brady O'NenPs pockets were bulging with documents which the committee had refused even ! to look at and his heart was surcharged
 with emotion because the committee ] was neglcting this opportunity to right
 all human wrongs. With tears in his voice MT. O'Nein demanded a three cent fare and lower freight rates He ! wanted the Arizona rangers. the stand ' ing army Oi Arizona, abolished. and he ! demanded a memorial to congress urg- ! ing it to repeal all present arrange
 ments with the Santa Fe Pacific under
 which that road is getting off by pay
 ing a tax of S175 mile.
 MT. O'NeilTs suggestions were adopt ! ed as a part of the report but before ! the adoption of the report itself, Charles ! Woolf of Tempe, objected and said that
 all that matter had been threshed over
 in the committee and that it had been ! the consensus of opinion Of the com
 mittee that the report as read was long ] enough. He would not say that MT. ] O'NeiII's reform measures were without
 merit. As to the proposed railroad fare
 and freight resolution MT. Woof said 1 that he had understood that the inter ! state commerce commission would look
 after those things in the territories and
 it would be in bad taste to infringe
 upon the duties of the commission. Concerning the Santa Fe Pacific tax
 MT WOolf said that neither he nor the other members of the committee were informed as to the circumstances Of the arrangement between congress and the railroad and they had therefore re- trained from putting in. As to the
 abo ,itiOn of the rangers MT. Woolf had
 been informed that that organization was much in favor among the stockmeh
 of the southern part of the territory. It was true that Maricopa county re- ceived little benefit from the rangers
 but it was not to be presumed that all ! the benefits provided by law to be paid
 for out of the territorial treasury were
 intended for Maricopa county.
 I sam F. Webb supported the O'Nei resolution with reference to the rang
 CTS. He knew of his own personal knowledge that they were an immoral lot and that there was intemperance among them. He had seen one or them
 drunk and he had heard of another that was as full as a goat for twenty
