Thompson, AZ 90
Nelson, &c 90
80 it that Thompson barely saved by the
skin ofhis teeth. We have rumors that even this was
accomplished only by sort of cLsseling foul
play and that members of the convention were so
much exasperaed by the rascaiy of their compcess,
that they they would not vote for the nominee.
We suppose however that this ire will all be ultimate
Iy merged in the greater hatred which its victims bear
towards the Administration. McGaughey at any
is used up Coon his aide is nailed to the wall
in the house of his friends. The penalty is Just,
whatever may have been the immediate cause of its
infection. 1t is bitter task but he now raise
the shout, however hoAOp it may be, for the rival who
has pushed him from place. But the result will be-
hope, as McGaughey at heart, doubt, hopes and
wishes, tO-wit, the defeat of Thompson. This will
very likely be the case if that honest faithful and
capable man, Jo. WRIGHT, should be Thcmpson's op-
ponent. MIR. w. proved an able and efficient Repre-
sentative in Congress the session before the last
and there Is not man in his district, be he wing or
democrat who had just cause TO find fault with him
in the performance of his official duties. Nothing
but miserable parzan prejudice defeated him in bis
second canvass against McGaughey and if the peo-
pie of the 9TH district true to their interests
as well to the honor and credit and character of
the State and the nation he will be preferred to
Thompson should he be & candidate against him.
There is good deal of sound about Dick, but not
much substance.
WIG FoRGERY.-The State Journal publishes the
following copy of the pretended pass granted by
President Polk to Santa Anna authorizing his return
10 Mexico from Havana:
''The commander of our naval forces in the Gulf oil
IS cd IN oh gbo,
Of General Antonio Lopez de Santa ANNA and suite
Msrico, should he desire to return 1hither.
"May 10, 1916. JAMES K Polk
This is forgery. Mr.. Polk never gave such
pass anything like it. This mode of warfare i,
however consistent with the base character of Next
can whiggery.
But if it were true, why should the Mexican wings
find fault about it Was it not proper in Presi
dent Polk as in them, 10 give laid and comfort t.
the nation against whom waging, they say
unjust, unholy and ungody war of rapine ant
conquest
The truth is, however, that the Mexican wings ar
offended at the return of Santa Anna, not because
could aid his country the battlefield but because
Is republican rather than monarchist and probabl
prevented Paroles and the Mexican bishops from es
tabllshIng a monarchical government in Mexico
This is the real reason why tory wings S
mad at Santa Annals return. They would have re
joiced in their hearts, to have seen Mexican Mon
arch in the person of of the Royal Family c
France. Rascal as Santa Anna may be, he is nc
quite rascal enough for that.
The last Sentinel quotes extracts to prove that tn
honor is not due to Gen. Taylor for the choice of tn
ground upon which the terrible battle Of Bucna Visit
was fought. Bravo! The locos are progressing
Wonder if they viii not say before long, that tn
Mexcans selected it, they said the Indians did tina
upon which the battle of Tippecanoe was fought !
Stale Journal, Nay d.
6TOur neighbor may think he can dispose of tn
matter with sheer, but doubt it, If he wishes to
justice TO ALL and give credit where credit is due he wi
not fear to give his readers the whole truth Will he
py the eridence adduced substantiae our state
Inent If he will do that his readers will see ths
we are fully sustained by il. We will say further
and in good time will produce the proof, which ma
be partly found in Gen. Taylor's own official d.
spatehes that he had very little to do in fighting tn
-. battle Of Buena Vista. Indeed he was absent fro
the Geld, at SaltiIo, good part Of the time, wit
400 men, This is the truth, and not afraid
say it, Notwithstanding the present general diSpos
give Gen. Taylor the entire credit of that tie
rIble battle.
