WINDY BILL COMES TO GRIEF.

WINDY BILL COMES TO GRIEF.
 "Windy William" Cleary has come to grief. His employers, the piecounter contingent of the republican party of Arizona, arc sharing it with him. He has been canvassing the territory under the guise of being tho congressional can didate of the independence party: but to all persons of intelligence it was plain that he was working in, tho inter est of Cameron, and that his solo ob- ject was to defeat Mark Smith. But he has been exposed not by the demo crats, nor by the republicans, but by his own party.
 J. J. Healy, national committeeman of the independence party, seeing and knowing Cleary's nefarious conduct in working in the interests of the repub- hcans, instead of the independence party, has felt compelled ts como Out in an ol,en letter exposing him, and call ing hin. . "Judas" to his own party. The Silver Belt published this letter in full yesterday morning. But we wish to cal. special attention to few choice expressions in it: Mir. Heaiy says:
 HAVING ATTENDED TWO MEETINGS or HIS UNNog7umc. I HAVE BEEN FULLY CONVINCED THAT HIS ATTITUDE IN THE CAM PAIaN IS NOT IN HARMONY WITH THE INDEPENDENCE PARTY, BUT THAT HE IS CAMPAIGNING IN BE- HALF OF THE REPUBLICANS.
 "I FIND HIM vILLAINoUsLY AS SAILING THE DEMOCRATIC NOM INEE FOR CONGRESS, AND NOT ONE WORD AGAINST THE REPuB- LIcAN CANDIDATES.
 TIT IS 4 NOTABLE FACT THAT EVERYWHERE HE HAS SPOKEN HE HAS FOLLOWED THE TUNE or THE REPUBLICAN, sPELLB1NDERs, AND MUST HAVE BEEN COACHED IN HIS ITINERARY, AZ HE HAS VIOLENTLY AsSAILEp MARK SMITH, AND AT NO TIME HAS HE MENTIONED RALPH CAMERON, WHICH GOES TO SHOW THAT HE IS THE PAID TOOL or THE TERRI ToRIAL REPUBLICAN, MACHINE"
 This Is just the kind of scathing re- buks that Cieary deserves. He would assassinate Mark Smith politically from ambush. He hides behind the piecoun- ter fellows, and with vituperation and abuse assails Mark Smith, who has done moro for Arizona, in any one of the terms he has served in congress, than all the other republicans of Arizona. He has worked hard to place the territory in the sistsrhood of states, while they have worked, and successfully, too, to keep 1t territory.
 We assert, as we have asserted before, that no republican who has ever repre- sentsd Arizona in congress, has ever made anything more than a mere pre- teuS0 70 opb&&A otdtoAoSu ASi sno sSAAA tory.
 This letter from which We quote is not the production of tho democrats; 1t comes from the man at the head of the independence party in Arizona. Mir. Healy's self respect and the interests of his party compelled him to write it..
 This shows the people of Arizona the desperation to which the republicans are driven in their efforts to secure the election of Ralph Cameron, and thus put of for another two years the admis- sion of Arizona as state; and 1t is their duty to repudiate and rebuke party that resorts to such schemes to carry out its purposes.
 But, this must not be put down to the discredit of the hundreds of mem bers of that party who are honest and sincere in their political beliefs; 1t is chargeable wholly to the fellows who hold the offices by federal appointment, and who desire to hang on to their jobs as long as Possible. -...a.. ...
