The Arizona sentinel., 1874-10-24

fqfestS of Mir. ROWell Tn the Ter r;torv. it IS true that they are in thts county, (that is when his lfain is in) but what are those ;nferests? Are they of a nature to entitle him to consideration afthe hands of the people, to the expense of better man: We think not! The sole possessions haf Mir. RowelI lie in his mules and his wagons, and, therefore, are of sueh a nature that in few hours the county can lose GU interest Tn lhis fairs by the loss of his teams. i fAll these facts are we'll known to Mr. Powell, as they are to all 1 the community; and it can be but a matter of surprise to ail that a man claiming ordinary intelli- gence, could openly make asser- tions which nine -tenthS of his hearers know t0 be false. The only charitable interpretation that can be given to such action, is that he is insane on the question of going to the Legislature. Let us consider little on this intense, ail-ahSOrbing wish of Mir Rowell t0 attend especially this session of tie Legislature. What can be his reason? Is there capital to he re-
 moved and money to be spent to d. if? pr is it that he has promis- ed Pima county, his immense @ Influence to keep it at Tucson? There must be some reaSOn!-it is 1 not the hOnOr!-nOt the pay! i What object then can he have in i view?
 The Board of Supervisors of Pima county have paid MT. R0Well 300 dollars, for 0SSisti1ag Che District Attorney. Is this a bid for him? There is no doubt
 but that the good, simple people Iof Pima county have listened to the beautiful simiIe, of MT Powell referring to the "herd and the Shepherd r'
 This brings us to another con- sideratiOn! Will the voters of f#ina county give credence at <':e polls, to the report given
 erDad among strangers, that they
 re a vOiceless, opinionless, unin- tellIgent herd, to be driven any,
 wher or everywhere by Mir. Rowell and seven or eight other herders he can hire for the occa- sion? MT. Powell took good care, at the above mentioned meeting, to offer no explanation of his re- marks at Tucson, until it was de- manded of him. and then what was his explanation? what did it amount to? Literally nothing as an Explanation, but most dam hing proof of the worst that had ever been asserted. The sO-called Explanation is signed by Robert Crandall, and AIeck McKay, of Tucson, and purports to give the exact language of Mir. Rowell. Let us publish this language. Mir. Powell stated in public sa- loon in Tucson, that "such was the little interest taken, in Yuma county, in the election for Delegate to Congress that if @ live man visited Yuma, he could, by judicious use of money, secure the services of eight men he could name, who could herd the rest of the voters to the polls" George Cooler, Of Tucson, remarked. of thai is the case, Mir. Powell, thank God, 1 don't five in Yumav'
 The explanation goes on to state. that MT. Powell then qualified his remarks by an assertion that he meant that money had to be used in the hire of buggies and of h0res." Who are these eight men who can get into buggies and on horses and herd the vo- ters Ot Yuma county to the polls? No one knows but Mir. Powell !!
 MT, Powell, at the close of his speech, asserted that ha may have Slnned, and if he had, he asked to he forgiven; and immediately after his apologies, declared that ne hd6 nude those. remarks and he still "struck to them."
 In conclusion, sir, We peg leave to state, once more, that our only object in asking a place in your columns, for this communication. is to give to all a true interpreta. tIon of the merits of the so-called meeting of WOrkingmAn
