(From Sundays DaIIv)

Editor Journal Miner:
 Friday evening, at Dougherty's hall. in the presence oi a large audi ence, we had the pleasure of hearing Judge James Loy deliver his initial speech announcing his candidacy for attorney general of Arizona. Judge Loy read his platform consisting of ten Democratic blanks, every one ol which hit the bulls eye. As each plank was read, the applause was vocifcrous. He then expatiated on each plank in his platform and defined his attitude on all public questions
 Judge Loy held his audience spell bound during his address. His de- nunciation of political barnacles, pro- Huns, dough faces, porch climbers, etc, elicitcd thunderous applause. His last plank, "Loy and Law En- forcement," capped the climax, and when he announced same, he re- ceived an ovation.
 Judge Loy announced that when he is elected attorney general, county attorneys will have to enforce the laws: he says, they will have to put something over the top, and deliver the goods
 His dissertation on political barna- cles and the pie-counter brigade was received with tremendous applause, showing conclusively that the voters are determined to emasculate all chronic political leeches, and scrape from the ship of state all political barnaclcs
 Judge Loy is certainly sui gen cris; the nc plus ultra of politics; the political Napoleon of the hour. He intends 10 Hay and expose all legal quidnuncs who aspire to be attorney general of Arizona. Judge Loy says that mo longer should Arizona $ fame be obscurcd by legal tyros, who. instead of attempting to practice law, should be spreading guano on some barren field"
 Judge Loy informed us that, like Scipio, he is going to carry the war into Africa: that his platform is a gatling gun on wheels, and loaded to the muzzlc: that he is in the fight to win; that Arizona must be redeemed from the incompetcncy of legal dunderheads, sour dough politicians, cvancScent statesmen, unmoultcd of iicc-scckcrs, and all antc-diluvian fos- silS and undevcloped protoplasms of the Palczoac age.
 From the foregoing it must be ad- mitted by all. that Judge Loy's plat form and speeches will undoubtedly rcvolutionizc Arizona. He is filling a long-fclt want, applying his eau tery scething hot right on the car bunclc: he is after barnacles with long teeth, and when the avalanche of votes in his favor for attorney gen cral is counted, the political hotsam, jcttisonned from Arizona's ship of state, will then be their only coign of vantage and retreat for supcr-annu- ated political gargoylcs as they arc tossed by the pillows and washed to unknown shores.
 We were cntrauccd by Judge Loy's s great speech. In it we discovered the sunshine and the shadow that chased each other OCT the billowy fields; the dew of night, the breath oi June, the carol of the lark, the wealth of summer and autumn'S rich content" we bchcld vcrdant fields bright with the flowers of the white suphorbia, the blue gcntian and the purple balm, and matted forests where wild squirrels lcaped and chat tered, and where fcathcrcd songsters trillcd thcir matin songs; we saw in the distance green field on the desert where bloomcd our long wished-for rose.
 Yours for "Loy and Law Enforce mcnt"
