IT is a significant fact that the
friends here of Mr.. Stevens are
devoting most OF their attention
to attacks upon Mr.. Davis, aad to
attempts to belittle his chances of
election. The conflicting nature
of information received from all
parts of the Territory makes it
difficult to decide how the matter
stands. Each writer seems deters
mined to represent things in &C.
cordance with his own wishes.
But, as Mr.. Davis seems to be the
candidate now most generally and
most vigorously attacked, it is
easy to infer that he is now the
man most feared by partizans of
other candidates. In spite OF all
assertions to the contrary, Mr..
Davis will get a large vote in Yu-
ma County.

GEN. SHERMAN has written letter in
favor Of the s. p. Railroad. We are
glad Of that; and here is where we differ
from the greenback and all other parties ;
we favor the building by grants of land
and other subsidies. That has been the
policy of this country for $50 years, and ii
has proved a great success. In the early
history of the Eastern States they granted
lands if men would settle them, if
they would build vessels, run mills, teach
school, or do almost anything for the
public good. So the county has helped to
build roads and bridges; SO the state
established schools and set railroad trains
in motion; and so the nation favored
turnpikes and canals; and run railroads
from ocean to ocean. What has answered
so well for the old States should not be
denied the new. All the Southern States,
from the Atlantic to Louisiana, want This
road; Texas suffcrS for it; Arizona and
New Mexico and Southern California
would be made by it; through it new
territory would be gained from Mexico;
and the commerce and industries Of the
Union be assisted. 1t is a stupid piece Of
nonsense TO refuse 100000 acres OF
land which is worthless now to cor
poration whose existence would enhance
the value Of the million acres along its
track. No private individual would play
that dog in the Manager, and no country
can prosper running on so narrow guage.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia letter frCm Salt

Mormon priesthood and Democratic lead

New Mexico with Mormons has just come
to light. Large numbers of the Saints
have already been quietly einigrating
thither upon the order of the leaders, and
many more are preparing to 30 during the
winter and spring. \ large number OF
Mormons in the Southern States are also
emigrating to these new territories. The
plan, as reported from Mormons in high
standing, show that j. Proctor Knott, of
New York, and Benjamin Franklin, OF
Missouri, maturcd the scheme, in connec-

delegate to Congress from Utah, and Dele

Utah so largely outnumber the Gehtilcs

The Indian Question.

We publish the following extract from
a letter written by St CLAIR bearing, Chief
of Indian Police, San Carlos Agency, to
the Tucson Citizen, for the purpose of
showing that the Chief is not well posted.
He says: 1.-THE Indians at Apache, Globe,
McMillen, etc, are with rare exceptions
allowed to go (trom the Reservation-Ed.)
at the written request of responsible per-
sons, who desire to employ them, and in
my opinion such opportunities to learn
something of the domestic comforts Of
whites, are the most practical lessons in
civilization to which Indians can be sub
jected." The fact is, that Indians are al
lowed to go from that Reservation without
written requests for laborers from any one,
and in proof of tbs, we will state that in
numerous Instances we have seen numbers
(meE, women aud children) pass through
here, on their way to the hills in quest of
acorns and other wild food One time, in
particular, we noticed upward of tour
hundred passing our Office from the
Agency in the direction of Salt River.
We are informed that few days since
San Carlos Reservation Indians were seen
IN New Mexico, and would have been
fired upon had they not made the fact
known that they were travelling by per-
mission of the Agent, and exhibited passes
conirmatory of the statement.- Silver

II is pitiable to see the Office of
District Attorney going begging,
as it were; to be picked up, just
rs an Indian picks up cast-of
clothing from the street. At last
election the Office was secured by
a person who chung to j. NJ. Re-
dondo as a burr does to a sheep;
the sheep jumps over a fence,and
the burr goes with it. RedOndo got
some 100 votes; the burr got 90:
both were elected. The reputable
lawyers of the county decline to
accept nomination for the office.

Mr.. H. N. Alexander has consent
ed to qualify and serve if elected,
but refuses to take any part in the
election. Lawyers often prefer to
have some shyster fill the Office
of Prosecuting Attorney; it gives
them greater certainty of securing
acquittalss and adds to the profits
of their practice. If this be their
true reason for refusing to take
the office, our lawyers show more
shrewdnesS than public spirit.

WE had hoped to be able to
keep out Of local politics at this
election, and that the cries for
"reform BODIED some good to
the people. But when a group
of eleven men met at Mr..
Schulz's house and made nOmi-
nations for eight Offices from
among their own number, and
then raised an cutlery against an
imaginary "ring;" and when we
saw the names Of their candi-
dates; then We began to fully
realize the hOllownesS and hypOc-
risy of these shouters Of "refOrm"
and "anti-ring." AS SO many of
the electors of this county are
new men here, It seemed proper
to show up the antecedentS and
true character of some of these
candidates. Reflection, however,
shows US that the public has had
a surfeit of personalities, and that
new residents would be apt to
class our warning with the SLAM
ders that have been so freely cir
culated among them of late. The

LATE advices from Prescott in
dictate disposition to drop one
candidate, or two, and concentrate
the vote upon one man. Camp
bell has many bitter personal ene-
mics in Yavapai County, whom
1t will be hard to induce TO work
for his election. The opposition
to Davis is not SO bitter. The
tone Of Woolsey's supporters
shows that they had as lief drop
him as not. Yavapai is strongly
Republican; SO is Davis. If Davis
is the man upon whom the Yav-
apais concentrate, the other
candidates may as well fold up
their pocket books. Evenfriends
of Stevens seem to admit that
Davis will stand second at the eli
ection. The struggle is between
Davis and Stevens.

THE vote of Yuma county bids
fair to reach $50. Registration
and Declarations of Intention to
become citizens have kept Clerk
and Recorder busy this week.
When a barge-load of would-be
citizens has been marched up
under guard, as it were, to be
made into electors, it was all right;
even though few of them could
tell their age, where they were
born, speak a word of English,
and none could write their names
or tell how they were spelled.
But when some man, who has
lived years in the country and
knows something about the can
didates, came up for registration,
then arose howl of corruption"
and Reform" That some men
have been registed who were not
entitled to to that privilege is
easy to believe. We have heard
of three such cases already, and
are likely to hear of more. But
when man Swears that he has
been in Arizona a year, he will
be registered. Grand juries can
dispose of him afterwards. 1t is
no business of the Recorders.

There was foreman Watson giving orders

..ruE HORSE,
Is n Noble Anfmaf-wfen he fs Used
Right.

Main street was thrown into a terrible
excitement yesterday by the appearance of
an animal that resembled a sort of a cross
between a dromedary, a mule and Goshoot
cayuse. The furry commenced between
rival a~uctioneers, at the corner Of Main
and Dateman streets. Each had what they
called "a horse to sell. Auctioneer Keen
got the inside track; riveted the attention
Of the crowd on his Thoroughbred, AID he
scarcely halted for breath for the space Of
an hour, az Io dilated on the inestimable
qualities Of THAT thar boss" As Tom
Kean don't get the names mixed) re-
marked, she was what would be termed a
three-cornered horse, IN En~gland"-thatis,
his ribs stood put like an old-faslioned
hoop skirt at the bottom, and his spinal
column rolled up like the hog-back at the
foot OF the Humboldt range: he resembled
a black bass with fonr pine sticks stack
into him. Keen had an excellent rawhide
lariat around the beasts neck and then 8
haif-hitch about what had once been tho
Roman nose OF the animal. Finally the
horse-jocksys got anxious to ses him exer-
t.Sti, anu Attii iAsDtbtta u 5tSQ tC~I,ll
animal, took a turn about the horn Of his
saddle and started toward Palisate. Keen
gave the word to his riding animal and he
commenced to oxcavate on Main street, in
front of tine Parker House. Graysl stones,
Stag and iiue dust were torn mp by the
powerful horse and cast two stories high.
But the saddle held, t9le lariat was
firm, and when the subject for sale got
ready to move, his head looked like a
wasr's body. Keen was exuberant when
he got tie thing in motion, and rang
his bell and shouted all about his six
y~ear-old sound-eye, limb and wind
etc, and the throngs on either sidewalk
shot it back at him. Dumb beasts looked
upon the object at he latter end of the
lariat as a camel. or something OF that sort,
and 20-nulo teams rushed into d~ry-goods
stores in terror cattle teams stampeded
as onlyTexas bulls can go, and dogs rushed
bowling under the houses. A party who
says he saw Keen turn tie horse at the
Eureka Consolidated reservoir, declares it
very neatly done-the riding animal was
hurried up a little, and he just swung the
plug at the end Of the rope, and met with
40 accident save the denolishing Of the
pump house. Before Keen started out
some one had offered him Sc 80 for the
nplfS' oh His return t1p son't ia'Stious
chap raised him five cents, just to keep his
courage up, and on he went toward the
Richmond, shouting 80 So" We have no
doubt bu. what Keen knew his business,
and when he got the plug warmed up he
probably sold for 6 couple hundred. The
last time we saw him pass the corner he
amblca along about as spry as 2 dry-goods
box in a Yep ". A bottle of Hostetters is
often encouraging to q six-year-0id" like
that on exhibition yesterday.

probably became lonesome, for an Friday

several little articles of value. She had

THE woRKrSGMEN.
They Permanently Organize at IA
Opera House Last NisEt

BY 8 o'clock last evening nearly all
Of those who at the first meeting had sspnt
their hands to the plow'' by signing their
names, were in the hall. They were late,
and some missed it altogether by the
change Of place Of meeting. The COM
mittee to arrange this matter had pub
lished the District Courtroom as the place
OF meeting, but owing to the Print case
being up for an evening session they were
forced to seek other accommodations, and
Mr.. Bartlett came to the rescue with an
offer of the Opera House. The gallery was
crowded with spectators.
The meeting was called to order BY the
temporary Chairman, Orrin Miller.
The objects Of the organization were
read in Introductory remarks to the Con-
stitution, and then the temporary Secre-
tary explained that whereas laws are liable
to be enacted in our Legislative halls dctri-
mental to the interests Of w~orLingmen,
this body deem IL polite to arrange for
emergencies, and SO on. His explanation
OF the objects in view by organizing were
looked upon favorably, and some gentle
man at once moved that a recess of five
minutes be taken, that those who desired
might put their names to the Constitution,
and several did 80 on the moment.
After the recess the minutes Of the first
meeting were read, aud then the Associa-
ton proceeded to an election of permanent
officers to hold Office as provided by the
Constitution.
Under the name Of Mechanics and Labor
ers' Union Of Eureka, they proceeded to a
permanent basis OF e.ecting the following
named gentlemen as officers:
President-Mr. S'oss.
Vice-Presidsnts = Me5srs. Faulkner,
Brennan and Mau in.
Secretary--Mr. Bell.
Trcasurer-Mr. McDcrmut.
Sergeant-at-Arms-T. Mcmahon.
The election Of officers was followed by
wide awake speeches from Messrs. Miller,
Harris and GarYin, which closed the exer-
cises Of the evening. 1t looks every much
ly' like a solid Institution.
Messrs. Miller and McDermott both
spoke very earnestly against permitting
political issues such as indorsing cam
didates, running a ticket, etc, and after
the debate a resolution was passed to the
effect that the Union was not a political
organization.
