THIS factional fight in the re-

opportunity. No such chances
for SUCCESS has been offered since
the notable campaign of 1896.
The wheel of political fortune is
evidently shifting, and the panic
of last year has shown the voters
that the republican party is not the
advance agent of prosperity, and
that tariff protection does not en-

REPUBLICAN, HOPES.

The democrats are largely in the majority in this county, and will win, unless through carelessness and mis- management, they suffer the republicans to defeat a portion of their ticket. The only dancer to any candidate upon tho democratic ticket is that he may be de- fsated by process of trading which is sure to be inauguratsd. The republicans know thev have no show to elect their entire ticket, and can only hope to elect two or three at the most; and to ac- complish this they will concentrate their efforts upon them, letting the balance of their ticket go down to defeat. It 1t now plainly seen by all who take tre trouble to notice their movements that they intend to try to land one of their candidates for supervisor, and mako & desperate effort to defeat Thompson for sheriff. Corld they do this their cup of joy would be full to overaowing. Democrats must be on the alert. and guard tho interests of their candidates. If they do this, they can and will elect the entire democratic ticket from top to bottom.

to be wondered at, as the chairman Of their committee on resolutions was the local agent of the railroad at this place, and of course has an ear open to "his masters voice" at all times.
 Hon. John Mccormick, If elected to tho lower house as he is sure to be, will stand firmly with Mir. Hunt in working for the passage of laws that will regulate these evils, and relieve the people from the onerous burdens placed upon them by the greediness of the railroad corporations. If the people elect their opponents, they will send to the legislature, men pledged to silence in regard to this matter; for, as Mir. Bryan has said, party is bound as much by what it omits from its plat form, as by what 1t contains.

 Now suppose Cameron should be elect cd, what then? The honest republicans would be disgusted at the transparency of the trick by which hs obtained his seat in congress. The democrats, tho lifelong friends of the territory, would feel sorely disappointed at the ingrat itude of our people. And the incoming democratic house and administration would lose respect for the intslligence of o-r people. MT. Cameron would find himself in very embarrassing situa- tion, trying at his present age to chang, the whole course of his life training from that of western mountaineer to the association' and competition with Q body of men specially prepared by a  long course of study, preparation and practice, to deal with governmental af- fairs. He would hardly find one man in that learned body sufficiently ignor- ant in matters of government to becore his associate, unless there might possib- ly be one from the Philippines. And OUT bright prospects of becoming star or the bsnnsr of our country, would not grow in brilliancy.

DUPLICITY NO GOOD

Republican politicians persist in pre- tending that this is not political cam- paign in Arizona but that the issue is statehood or no statehood. It is true that Mir. Cameron promises immediate statehood if he is elected, but who is there so ignorant as not to know that all such assertions. are wild, reckless, rawlings, destitute of sincerity or truth fulnsss. Mir. Cameron would if he could, but every sensible person knows that his election would not have the least influence on the question of state hood He would be just as powerless in that regard as he would be to make good his promise to have the govern ment build OFT court house, jail. etc.
 It is ridiculous for republicans to ex- pect, any one to believe in these reck- less, absurd promises, when at the same time they, themselves, insist that their party is so untruthful and unreliable that 1t cannot bs trusted to carry out its solemn pledge in the national plat form. How comes it that the promises of Arizona republicans are so much more worthy of belief than ths promises of the great men of the party when rep resenting the masses of the party of the whols country? How comes 1t that the Arizonans can claim such superior truth fulness and integrity, that they should be believed and trusted when their brethren in the great east are admitted by them to be unworthy of similar trust?
 You know very well that MT. Gamer on could not help us one iota and all these promises are vain and deceptive. You know that the republican senate cares nothing about the delegate from Arizona. The only thing they, as par tizans, arc interested in is the two sen ators that would be elected in case of statehood. They ara desirous of per petuating their power, and the pros pect of two additional democratic sen ators may worry them, but do you think that you can deceive them by the selec- ton of Mir. Cameron7 You admit the territory is democratic and would send democratic senators. Do you think those gray haired senators would not find out the truth. What would MT. Cameron say when they asked him If the territory would be democratic? No gentlemen, the ruse is too transparent; those senators would know just what means you resorted to to elect Mir. Cam eron. They would know that you ac- complished it by impugning the motives and integrity of the senate and the re- publican party, and instead of being favorably influenced, they would havc contempt for Mir. Cameron, for the base ness of the charges you are making. No, Arizona cannot afford any such juggling at this time. Safer to assert

FAIR TRANSPORTATION CHARGES


 Hon. John Mccormick, democratic nominee for the legislature, is on record in the last legislature as favoring and working hard for the passage of a freight and fare bill. He is today as strongly in favor of such a law as ever, and if elected to the next legislature, he will in connection with Hon. George W. P. Hunt, try to relieve the people from ths burdens placed upon them by the greed of the railroad corporations. He stands upon platform that pledges him to work for such measure, and being sincerely and heartily in favor of 1t as matter of principle, the people can depend upon him to make the strongest effort in his power to secure it's passage. MT. Mccormick made a splendid record in the last legislature, and with his experience then acquired will be able to accomplish much more in the next.

SHERIFF THoMPsoN's RECORD

SHERIFF THoMPsON'S RECORD.
 The way the republicans are work ing to bring abolt ths defeat of Henry Thompson for sheriff shows that they deem anything in politics to be fair. Some of the things they are saying about him are so manifestly untrue and unreasonable, that the people will re- pudiate them, and still give him their confidence and support. They know that no man in Arizona can show a cleaner record as a public officer than Henry Thompson, and when republicans and thsir candidates undertake to be- smirch him, the people will forget party lines and rally to his support. No man who has served the people as long as he as a public officer can show a clean CT record. We defy the republicans of Gila county to produce the man that can do it. He has never been de- farlter; has never been unktnd to his prisoners; has never had to shoot man to arrest him; but has always been hon orable, kind, and always considerate in the discharge of his duties. He is ons of the most generous of men, always ready to do anyone kind act. Then why should the people not rs-elect him as their sheriff. Some people oppose him, because he has done his duty un- der ths law; but when this opposition is traced, 1t will be found to come from those who have been fin imminent dan. ger of meeting the reward to which thsir deeds justly entitle them. One man in particular whom we could name, is very bitter against him, but when we inquire who he is, we find that he is one wro barely escaped the penitentiary for notorious malfeassnce in public of fee. It is not expected that sheriff will give any very great satisfaction to thoss whom the law, through him, is trying to bring to justics.
