The weekly Arizona miner., 1870-10-15
Various Matters.

We returned, last week. too late 10 thank those l gentlemen who wrote for the MINER during our long absence, but We now do so and most heart 1 ly, too Col Henry 4. BigelOw has won fame, !. fl not fortune, by tue able manner in which be | edited the paper, and the contributions Ot Judge Nm. J. Berry speak very highly for his talent aud culture writer. Mir Ben 4. Weaver, our trustworthy foreman, aud his assistauts-all good prlnters-perforned their part well and faithfully, and are entitled 10 our consideration.
 POLITICAL. When Se arrived hcaig, the political pot was boiling feresiy. The Democrats of the county had met in Convention, and nominated 6 ticket, which, we are free to say does not give entire sat isiaction 10 all professed Democrats,-yct it is composed Of sturdy, honest, intelligent Demo csats, and merits the support Or every member Of the party. Such being tue case the MINER calls upon all Democrats and Conservatives 70 support tEe ticket; to pay no attention to the talk oi the Opposition when they charge that, should our ticket be elected, the good Democratic people of Wickenburg and Salt River. Wiii use their power 70 divide the county, or move the county seat Having unbouDdcd faith in the honor honesty and intelligence of the people of Nickcnburg and Pb9nix, We scout this charge as untrue and founded upon narrow-mindcd preiOdice. When The new road, Utd Black Canon and the Agua Trio, Is completed to Salt River, the farmers Of that section will be within lees than one hundred mics of Prescott, and the interests Of tue pco- pie of both sections will be stick together un. der one county organization, awhile longer. We will need their surplus grain, flour, etc. and thrv OUT lumber, potatoes, etc Likewise, we know that the people Of Wekcpburg would sooner come here 10 attend Co their county business than go elsewhere. Therefore, we cannot believe thai any very great efforts will be put forth 10 the next Legislature 10 divide our county.
 At the time of starting on our trip, and long be- fore, we were honestly Ia favor O! holding a mass convention and selecting good men from both par. ties, tO till the offices But now that the people Of the two most Important counties in the Terri tory have drawn party lines, no recourse L. leit us but 10 take the side of that party whose prn- cipics revere. MeanWh!e the column. oi inc MINER will be open Co all parties who may see tit 70 employ them in c legitimate way.
 The proceedings or both Democratic conven- tions appear in inll on the outside Of today Q paper.
 That of Pima county deals squarcly and hon- estly with issues nOw before the people; thanks the hard-worked, poorly paid soldics Of the Ter TitoTy Tor their efforts in defending citizens from hostile sayages; and places in nomination for Delegate 10 Congress, PETER R BKADY, q man every way qualified 10 hil the position, and who has been prominent citizen Of the Territory for nearly twenty years. That he will win the race is, to us quite certain for Eaoe hitn to be the most popular man in Pima county and he Is sure Of carrying Yayapa by good majority Having formerly resided in Yuma county, he h certain oi receiving a large vote there; well as in Mohavc and PahU counties, whose people are Demo cratic. To crown all the Tucson Ari-onan, whosC editor, Mir. DOoner, became dsgusted with Inc friends and packers of Mr. McCormicS, fwhc have heretofore controlled tue papcr) for refusing him permiton to publish the proeccdings of th5 Pima Democratic Convention, even as m advcr tiscment, has cut loose from tbe Office.hOldlns faction or eaTpet-baggcTs, and now supports th, Brady ticket in his paper. In feiutation of th, base islanders set aiioat by McCOrnck's imported strikers, agalnst tue character of Mr. Brady, the following from the Ari-0nan, while it wac in ih, interest Of Mccormick, will give all who do mol happen 10 know Mir B., good idea Of tho kind Of man he is. Says McCOrmlck's organ of Sen af Hr I4nf Aaff skies:
 The rival candidate, F. K. Brady Rsq, Is | gentleman whom we very highly prize, not onl, on the grounds of intimacy, but likewise for hl, intelligence, integrity and highly social qualifca tions all ths Is true of Mir. Brady, and slandel alone can assal his character oH these grotFuds
 Citizens or fArlzona-DsmOcTats and Couserva lives, such IS the man you are called upon te support TOT Delegate to Congress, aginst sehcIn ing, corrupt member Of the Imported ring that hal manipulated and plundcred the Territory ever since its organization; man who sold hitnsel ana ih.s portion of the Territory for the ollie O DelesNte' when he secured by said sale and ilega votes man who has turned rood men ont o once, aud appointed 70 dured williams 10 ll thci places man Who has done nothing for this DOT ton Of the Territory, and but li'te for any other man, who iD aspeech in New ork, asserted tha the old citizens of the Territory were made m, o persons who had fled from Justice. n man who claims 10 have no political opinions vet ia every thing to all men, You know both men; von knoa what MT. McCormck promised to do befoEs Iasi election, and you also know that be bas dOus nothing Then, choose ye between the two men but, before doing SO, ponder upon what we bay, said, and may say. The time is at hand when fine people of Arizona can triumph over their malig ners and oPpre.sOrs. and they should see To l that their fair Territory Is set alright, and freed rom the rule Of soulless political adyenturers.
 He who ialters In bis duty nos, or bends tho knee 10 the Mccormick elan, writes himself dowt an enemy 10 Arizona, and foe 10 honesty.
