of Signal and vicinity. Some have the
audacity TO intimate that one of these two
wrote that letter. Poor Davis, who thinks
that as ali American citizen he has right
to ask the suffrages of his friends for d
position honorably aspired to ard never
supposed to be within the gift of one
man like some seats in the British Paflia.
ment, must learn hereafter to conclliate
the "powers that be-" before launching
himself into the pool of politics. Both
MI. Cory and Mr. Behan have heftre been
known rs politicians and Office holders In
| Yavapai and Mohave Counties. The for.
mer, in one of his confidential, affable
moments, is said to have declared that,
"As goes VIM. Cory, so goes the County"
Not content with their edicts as to Dele
gate, they must, forsooth, look after small
Ter game, trying their hands at making
Sheriffs, Recorders, etc.
For Sheriff there are now in the field
Mr.. Comstock, present able and efficient
incumbent, aud Mr.. Grounds, who would
undoubtedly suit the cattle men and few
other of Mohaves rich nabobs. Itis un-
necessary to say that our luminaries are
for Grounds. Perhaps the most exciting
contest in the County is for the Recorder
Wright, present incumbent and friend of
Cory, and J. e. Potts. Of Signal One of
said luminaries declares that his friends
control eleven votes, not one of which
shall be given to Potts. Another one
gays that Clark's precinct will cast thirty
or forty votes, and that Potts shall not re-
ceive one of them. as he shall be there
himself, to look after things.
Another Office over which there will he
some controversy is that Of Member OF
the Assembly, the sspirants for which, l
am informed, are Capt. Hardy, of Hardy
vile, and Messrs Street aud Behan, of
Signal.
To this wsyfarer it locks as If Mr.: Davis
will carry Southern MohaVe by a very
large majority over Mr.. Campbell, the
only other candidate spoken of here, and
that only IN limited circles. He would
not only make good and true Delegate,
but would be an honor to himself to his
County sud to his Territory. Can the
same be said Of all the other candidates ?
do not think Grounds, with all his fast
mustangs, has any fast enough to over
take Comstock In the race for the Bhriev-
atty. In fact. it will be walk over for
Comstock. The contest for the Recorder
ship will be closer one, as both candi-
dates are popular, honest, capable, quail
hed In every particular, and each has
friends who will leave no stone unturned
to secure success; the result is uncertain.
Capt. Hardy is likely to be elected to the
Legislature; Mr.. Behan is an old resident
and otice-seeker, who has friends as well
as opponents; Mr.. Street is mparatively
a stranger in the Territory, having resi-
dence qualification only by stretch of
Imagination.
Signal looks dull to what 1t did a couple
of months ago, many citizens having left
here. Every one feels the effect Of the
continued idleness of the Signal mill
However, Signal is probably now seeing
it's darkest days. as it is reported that Il
bonanza has been struck IN the Nc
Crackin mine, which will be milled as
soon as properly developed for extraction.
