IHE THIRD ihlAb AND IEt EAl. There is an old superstition tlat the third trial will insure success but in the move ments of the opponents of the Territorial ad minetration il has not held true They have just gone through their thirl annual attempt to defeat the administration at the ballot box, and, in view of all the circums tances, they have experienced more complete and over whelming discomfiture than ever before. In lsG4 they supported Leib and were beaten ; in 1885 they went for Allyn, and were beaten In 1866 they rallied for Poston, and again they are beatcn-this time with the disagrea b.e knowledge tso far as the radical, are con cerned) that they voted Tor man in whom they had no confidence, and whom they open ly denounced m lSJ4 as secessionist.
 INow we do not say that PO,ton ever was Q secessionist The MINER certainly had no knowledge of such being the cass when 1t supported him for Delegate; but there caH be no better illustration of the inconsistency of the irnpracticable radicals cf this county than they have given in upholding him after Al they hare Ss:si os him izI years fas;. and, indeed, in view of what many of them said of him during the late campaign. They have shown that for the petty purpose of personal spite against the Territorial administration, they were willing to take up with any candi- date believed to be anta agouistie toit. They have set aside principle, after camorously claiming if as the basis Of their policy, and heartily co-operated with man of questioned loyalty, in preference to one never suspected of entertaining dis-unon sentiment
 v We must not be understood, when we speak of the impraeticable radicals, as referring to all Republicans. They are to be considered by themselves. although they may affiliate fsith the Republicans and be allowed undue prominence and influence in their counsels and.mtil the Republicans shake them off as unworthy allies they will make trouble in the camp. Narrow and bigoted in their view oi public questions; complacent in the beliei that they are always right, and that all who differ with them are traitors and worthy of incessant abuse ever obtruding and enforc- ing their political ideas as the only ones enti- tied to public confidence, and constantly ms- taking ra,iiealism for patriotism, It is not strange that they made objection to the lib- eral and non-partizan course of the Territorial administration; and when they found they could not control it, formed an opposition, ol which they still constitute the chief and ac- tive elements
 A meaner or more unreasonable opposition it would be difficult to conceive of. Based so far as the impraeticables" are concerned upon the false assertion that Governor Good win had been untrue to the Enion cause il the distribution of his tritfing patronage, i has been maintained by constant, gros and malignant peryersiln of facts, and tn influences of passion and prejudice, rathe than those of reason or justice.
 It is true that neither Governor GoOdwi nor Governor Mccormick have taken part i party politics. They announced, upon thei first arrival in the Territory, that they di not come here for that purpose, and they hay been faithful to the announcement; but Una they kaye at any time proven recreant to tn best interests of the general government, falseLwhoRy ad nnitriousiy Joise. Thei policy of making appointments of responsibl rnen from all parties, is the same that Pres dent Lincoln followed 'iuring the war, an the oniy one iustitiable, in our judgment, Terri5Ury; especially so in this ferritor. where party lines were not drawn, and wher if the appointments hal been conhne to members of the Republican party, tt government coull int have been promptl organized When Governor Goodwin wer fo Pima county, early in 1861, he found b' one prominent citizen who openly ayowe his sympathy with the Republican party, an he made him judge of Probate. The in practcablesn would have had the Govern' defer further appointments, however insgnii cant. until Republicans e,ald be found b' he did not conceive it necessary to wait, , long as Democrats, good ci sens, who, wha ever their political prejuiee., tsd been guilt of no disloyal aei, and wers wiling to sui sonbe to the most eiIbos le' oath of all glance. and competenr 10 td tte several oh ces. were not wanting.
