A Question of veracity.


 It becomes our "panIul' duty to into. the readers of the MINER that there mo-, ists, between the editors of two proinipen, 70, journals-the Tucson Arizonian. and s.. Nr ego Bulletin, on the one part and Govoraa. A. P. K. Stafford, on the other part. . ons ton of veracity, and that in our opins,, ., Governor has convicted, or can conyic, ,r aforesaid sheets, of deliberately. wilfullv ,.s @ maliciously misrepresenting him. pl, that, our readers can form their own on,, " after perusing the following:
 HsArY.-it Is reported on the s,rea,.u.,
 ford, Governor Of Arizona during bis iasN st st San San Diego. has declared his in,ea,is 'si1 become champion Of the 3jth paralIsi | We recollect that while on his way ,o gaue he expressed himself very warmly in nA the sgd. and we leave our readers to dras own conclusions In regard to the policv h Ner m tends pursuing In Washington.

 ArisoHda. The MINER copied the above extrsc, bo, , the San Diego Buiitii', and said, ayor V. ? don't believe that our Governor declared Ri, ! intention to champion any particular Tout.
 but have an idea that his visit to Cep,r,l Arizona opened his eyes, and he will, in all probability, be found working side by side
 with the intelligent, honest men who favor
 the building of Southern Pacific Rslro,d
 upon the shortest and best route--wbieh ,u
 know, is the 35th.n While not prepared ,o :, assert, ilatfootedly, that Governor sasord b,, iaborcd for the Thirty.fifth, his recent letter
 to'the Arisonaa, which we print below. proves
 conclusively that ,be ArisOaaa and Brlaia Il have misrepresented him. Bui, here ]. tAe ', letter: l. WAsHISGT0x, January q, lsTa
