A Surrender

The democratic members at least five of them, were we think convinced that the of party regularity not at issue all; that controversy was not between republicans and democrats but between the Huntitcs and the anti Huntites There are not nine of the former in the senate but there enough them, aided by the Western Federation of Miners to scare the anti-Huntites into submission.
 In the preliminary voting the antis made a brave show of independence. With the aid of the republi- members they defeated the Huntes and fright ened them but they themselves the issue the only that could count, lay down in surrender to the Western Federation
 There is thing think they have not taken into The Western Federation has no politics It happens now to be it has been throughout the regime of former Governor Hunt, ranged on the side of democracy.

The select committee report framed with consideration for the sentiments of the five It was designed to humiate them slight ly possible; conceal far as possible the fact of surrender It contained spacious appeal delay in the circumstances which surround guberna- torial situation.

 We do not believe that the ant-H Huntites played good politics, for the democratic party for them selves. There several thousand democrats n Arizona, than there Western Federation members to be reckoned with later.
 We do not that these thousands of anti Hunt democrats are concerned at the fortunes of these nominees of Governor Campbell or of any appointees he might name.
