The Election for Territorial Delegate and
County Officials was held yesterday. The
day was sumptuousIy beautiful, and every.
thing was as peaceful and quiet as the day
was delightful. have never witnessed q
more thoroughly, orderly and we'll conduct
ed political contest than this. There was
no drunkenness, no brawling or fighting,
and although there was much feeling, par.
ticularly as to the success Of the rival CAP.
didates for the positions of Delegates aad
Sheriff, none of it was openly exhibited.
The conduct of the entire populace of Tue.

cts in the field were the Peoples and the
(so-called) Democratic-the latter the expo

ruled social and political matters and still
wanted to rule as they had ruled before
The former that of the people at large, tired
Of dictation-sick of positical merit solely-
in candidates for their suffragcs, aud deter

men foisted upon them.
Peter B. Brady (NIcCormick's opponent)
was urged by this faction to the commission
of what will prove to be fatal political
error. He filled creditably the office of
Sheriff, and could, in all probability, have
been reelected thereto, but in an evil hour
he yielded to the Establishments and mis-
representations of the bogus Democracy,
and allowed himself to bc used (that is the
correct tcrm) as candidate to oppose the
reelection of Mccormick. The result is,
he loses tho sherifalty and suffers al igno-
minious defeat.

party one. 1t is simply triumph Of the
people at large, irrespective of politics,
issues and isms, and VIC want it to be so un-
derstood. We care nothing for names Re
publican, Conservative, or Democrat; for
with US they are not tests of merit or de-

now again about to have, is Representa-

urge them.
For years We have been engaged in and
suffering from bloody warfare wagcd
against US by the Apaches. What We wish
Congress to understand is the condition

US, and not WE Gas II should be) against
HIM. Instead of soldiery maintained in
es~.ps, at enormous expense to Government,
we want an energetic army operating In

and never will have, unless matters are
correctly represented to the Executive and
Congress, and VIC have every confidence
that in Richard G. Mccormick We have the
man who knows and will urge the necessity
of an entire and radical change in military
and other matters for us. It is our only
chance and $50 mote it be-"
