A CARD.

Editor Ariroaa Miner:
 As an old resident of Walnut Grove, in this
 County, I have always felt deep interest,
 in connection with my immediate neighbors, in the prosperity of Prescott, as well as other
 portions of the County. But when the peo-
 pie of Prescott attempt to monOpolize and control a public meeting, called for the avowed purpose of selecting suitable candi- dates to represent the people of the entire County in the coming Legislative Assembly. attempt to, and do monOpolize almost the en- tire representation, at the expense of other portions of the County, we feel that we have just cause for feeling aggrieved, and would be fully justified in rebelling against the action taken by what appeared to be we'll organized clique that controlled the nomina- tions made at said meeting; and, from what now appears to be the feeling on that sub- ject by persons not in the interest of said clique, it is more than likely that the masses will hardly be induced to support the Ticket put in nomination by the Meeting of the I2th inst. You may therefore expect to hear by the next issue of your paper of movement of the people that will overwhelm these self-constituted nominees, and place in nomination a Ticket that will overwhelm these gentlemen at the coming election, and send to Tucson a delegation that will truly represent the entire interests of Yavapai County.
