THE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.

On the evening of June 5ih, in response to call for meeting of the Republicans of Prescott, some fifty assembled in the back rooms of the ;azerac saloon, and after con- sultation, resolved to form a club and sd- journed 10 meet June 18th al Kelly's Hail Al the adjourned meeting seventy one per sons signed an agreement to support the nominees of Republican couveniion,to to be held at proper time, and ihen proceeded 10 form a club.
 The necessary officers having been chosen, the club elected "Committee of Five" to which was entrusted the dury of preparing an address to the voters of Yava- pai county to prepare the basis for election of delegates 10 a county convection; 10 call such a convention; to correspond with well known Republicans and Republican com mittees of other counties, and endeavor to arrange for united action in holding a Ter ritorial Convention.
 Other committees were chosen and call made for funds, subscriptions were freely made, and cash as cheerfuIly handed in. The Kelly Hail was hired as headquarters or the YavapaI Republicans and use of the club until Nov. 18th; leading newspapers of both party political sentiments were subscribed for, and to-day are to be fould in our reading room, which is kept open day and evening. A stirring address was iasuai sa ha nubItN ;n .k. n ., AND WEEKLY MINER, and on seperate slips, lJ00 of which were distributed throughout the Territory. The address, though only q cali for e county convention, was mailed, with a short personal appeal, to persons in every election precinct known to the commit tee Tn Arizona. The number of responses, ,and their character, was most unexpected and encouraging, both in regard to county and territorial organizations, and consequently a second address was issued and distributed Tn like manner.
 As result of these efforts our county convention has been held and full ticket tor all county officers and members of the legislature placed in the field; a county central committee of nine members was elected and has entered actively upon the dis charge Of Its duties.
 We have advices from six of the seven counties in the Territory that they have de- termined to elect delegates 10 a Ter ritorial convention to be held at Phenix August 23d, where Delegate to Congress and a Territorial School Superintendent will be nominated and a Territorial Central Republican Committee elected.
 The response from all sections to the first movement towards organization shows that the moment was suspicious and the field ripe for the harvest.
 The scrub-racing for office which has prevailed in the Territory for years past, had engendered a feeling of disgust and suspicion, and a consequent general desire that officials representing the public and executing the laws should be encircied by ;he restraint of an organized party, winch ever political sentiment may predomInate
 The public is congratulated on the fact that the earnest lively action of the Republicans thus far in the early stages of this campaign, the character of the candi- dates placed in nomination by the conyen- tion. and the evident determination to give the ticket hearty support, has already had & good effect in causing the Democratic par ty in this county 10 institute careful en- quiry as to who their best men are to be nominated in opposition at their coming county convention. Thus 1t is rendered certain that We shall have officers for the next two years who will certainly be elected on the basis of fidelity to some known party principles, and with the faith of that party m their honesty, integrity and ability.
 The labors of the "Committee of Five being now ended by the perfection of the organization, and the election of d county central committee to supercede them, the committee will tonight render 10 the club final report and ask to be uiaCharged.
