ONE ARRIVING SINNER
 CAUSES MORE JOY, (MT)
THAN WOULD BE FELT BY THE
 DEMOCRACY.
Over the Ninety and Nine That Went
 Not Astray.

There was as much unbridled joy last night in the democratic camp | over the accession of the Arizona there is in a household when an
 unbidden polecat establishes himself
 under the dining room floor.
 Most of the democratic leaders re- garded the bombastic announcement by the Gazette of its flop, as the
 premier joke of the season whereby climatic conditions have been some what modified. But some of the more matter -of-fact could not be brought to look at the affair as a joke. Said one inhospitable demo- crat of the intrusion of the Gazette
 If Akers has come into the party he has come without an invitation"
 Another. who afterward admitted that he could not see what harm the Gazette could do the democratic candidates by its support of them. at first said in pretended anger: "I see in all this a low down re- publican trick, matched by the lead CTS. They barred Akers from the convention for the purpose of forcing the Gazette into the democratic par ty. Something's are unfair, even in war. For instance. it is against the rules of civilized warfare for a belligerent to have clothing infected with smallpox or other infectious disease, surreptitiously. smuggled in to the army of the enemy. There ought to be rules governing political rfa fn ,nIr sible A party that will descend to such a trick as that played by the republican convention last Saturday will do anything Forcing the Ga zette upon us in this way is an out rage against every rule of decency. It's no better than cowardly assas sination'
 John O. Dunbar of the Democrat doubtless knows now just how the elder, dutiful ard hardworking broth CT felt when the Prodigal returned. Though nobody has fallen on the Gazette's neck yet and sent out for the fatted calf. MT. Dunbar will probably fall on it's neck with club | as the days go by The Gazette and | the Democrat, it is generally believed
  in the work of reform.
 Republicans are finding something | to smile at in the Gazette's high | sounding notice to the republican | reading them out of the | party, and in the subsequent edi- | torial declaration that the Gazette is | for the democratic ticket and the | party afterward The amusement of the republicans is heightened by the | recollection of the strenuous efforts | of C. H. Akers up to the time of the | party caucuses, to secure some sort | of recognition by the party; of his | promises to the leaders to be good and henceforth to take orders from the party if he were allowed to go to the convention from his pre- cinct, the second ward.
 The overtures were rejected and as a precaution against the entrance of Akers to the convention by the back door, that resolution was adopt ed. early in the convention last Sat urday, barring out holders of prox- les from precincts in which the hold CTS do not reside.
 Said one republican last night: The whole republican party of Mariccpa county has been read out. |, Here is a case of a tail trying to III wag the dog And. such a tail as t is too. bobbed to such a stump III hat it looks like an unsightly ex- ,resence, a wart'
 The flop of the Gazette was no where unexpected For months it | lad been a down and out member III If it's party and after the passage of he statehood bill. supposition grew nto runor that the paper would make an effort to break into the lemocratic party. It has not really broken in. It could not do that without the consent of the party but t can, and has attached istelf to the 'arty in spite of the democrats who annot help themselves.
