 Is Campbell subsidtzing News l Pnpers2
 The Sentinel mentioned the arrival here, and shipment to Prescott. of a job press, paper cutter, type and other appurtenances of job printing office that must have cost about $30OO by the time it reaches destination. All the packages were plainly marked, and way-billed, to John c. Campbell, Pres. colt, A. T. We intimated that it would be graceful recognition of vigorous "puffing," for Campbell to give that material to the Enterprise newspaper, regardless of whether he is elected or not
 In its issue.D the s1st ultimo, tha, J paper says:
 If we are not mistaken, the job of flee referred to, already belongs to the Enterprise, and IS SO consigned. Mr. John G. Campbell stated this morning that he had no press or type on the road, that he had never purchased a dollars worth of printers material or had any interests, monetary or other wise, in such purchase, and that if any consignment of such had been made to him, it was without his knowl- edge or consent"
 THE CITIZEN omits the way-bill which involves rule and figure work in the precise form of the way-bill and shows eight cases shipped by Painter & Co.,, and marked U. G. Campbell, Prescott, A. T."l | Now all this looks as if somebody is ashamed of something; or as if somebody is foolish enough to make Campbell a sururise gift of $3000 worth of material, or as if the same disregard of truth here crops out, that has so far characterized all utterances in Campbell's behalf, politically. The first and third hypotheses are probably correct; though shame is, perhaps, al novel sensation to the parties under discussion. It is not bribery, or any thing very criminal, for Campbell to hire the Enterprise to violate pledges made to Woolsey, in consideration of the latter's legislative vote to move the capitol to Prescott, instead ot to Phe- nix; nor to hire it to make ridiculous statements about his capacity to fill the position of delegate to Congress; nor to pay it to make incredible asser- tions about his political strength at Prescott and elsewhere. We have known Campbell to do bigger things than these, and without a blush; sol have others. The second hypothesis is not tenable: Painter & O., is an old firm and has sold too much printing material, to be giving away $3O00l worth of it to the wrong man. Camp bell ordered it and rays for it, and he knows it; so does the EnterpriseI know it.
 A prominent worker for Campbell wrote us as follows and we still have the letter:
 eff The Sentinel will work for Campbell it can make some money, | otherwise ne will spend hIs money on NIT. Purdy's paper"
 This last has evidently been done.
 A well-known newspaper man was sent over to start newspaper in Mo- have county. He WAS to get help from the local residents to start a county paper; and was then to receive money to run it in Campbell's political in- terest. The stopping of the Signal and McCrackin mills let the bottom out of that project.
 Such evident proof of substituting | newspapers to bolster up weak can didaie dissipates all confidence in their statements, and gives rise to suspicion that the Tucson Star is also paid fur its ! kindly mention of Campbell. Stevens friends do not object, because they have no fear of Campbell; .hey want him to run, and pick up soch votes as might otherwise be given e q more formidable opponent.
 Arizona has little use for a can didate that hires newspapers to islander his opponents and to publish false hoods for him. If a man cannot be | believed as a candidate he cannot be trusted as Delegate.
 Nice lot of "reformersr Nice lot of organsr'
 If any one is deceived by hired state ments of Campbell's political strength, let him look at the vote of Yavspsi county at the last election. Campbell ran against Cook, Buffum and Ben Weaver, for the office of County Treas urer; he got the smallest vote of the four, getting about one-tifth of the en- tire vote. Does that look as If he can carry his own county. Not muchl
