THE success or Gov. Foster at the election just following a Presidential campaign is a rare political phenomenon in late years and indicates that Repub- licanism is gaining, At the State cleo ton in 1873, immediately following Grants second election, the Democrats succeeded in electing William Allen Governor and again in 1877, the year fol- lowing Hayes election, Bishop, Demo- crat, was also successful. This time Gov. Foster is not only reelected, but by q majority largely in excess of that which he received two years ago. There IS nothing in the result of the Ohio elec- .ion upon which the Democracy can base any predictions of speedy Repub- ican dissolution. On the contrary 1t shows vigor and vitality which indicate fair prospects of future victories. The election Is very discouraging to the New York Democracy.

A MILITARY supe at Prescott tele

A MILITARY supe at Prescott tele- graphed the following:
 The course of General Willcox in the late Indian troubles is highly appreci- ated in Northern Arizona. By his prompt course Northern Arizona has been saved and the war ended.
 General Willccx' control over the h. dians reminds us of the man who was boasting Of the obedience of his dog. He ordered the dog to "go out doors" but the eur insisted on sllulking under the bed. SO to make his boast good the man added, Cor mde, the bed" General Wileo1 set out t1 subdue the Chiri- cahuas and restore thcm to the reserva- tion, but the Indians concluded to go to Sonora. Now, judging from the dis patches sent by the military supes, the public would think it was the especial duty of the military to drive the Chiri- cahuas into Mexico. It is a disgrace to the country that the Indians were able to pursue their journey by easy stages and with a loss of only one buck-killed by cItizens-lrom the San Carlos reserva- ton to the Mexican border. and to at- tempt t0 boast of the matter as a bril- liant military achievement is simply dis guStIng.

An Officer Shot and Killed.
Prescott 3liuo-.l


 c. J. Dare, a courier, arrived in Pres colt this morning from Flag Stan, bear ing dispatches to Mrs. J. 4. Bryant of the wOunding of her husband at that place on the I7th, while in the discharge of his duties as Deputy Sheriff. An in terview with Mir. Dare eicited the fol- lowing particulars:
 A man from San Bernardino named Miller, alias Grizzly, had threatened the life of railroad contractor King. who swore out a warrant for the arrest Of Nil Ter and placed the same in the hands Oi J. A. Bryant, railroad contractor aud Deputy Sheriff. A man by the name os Holmes, a Deputy |. $. Marshal from Albuquerque, armed with Remington rife, accompanied Mir. Bryant in mak- ing the arrest of Miller. Bryant read the warrant and commanded the &C., cused to surrender his pistol, winch he pulled, shooting Bryant twice, one bal passing through the breast and the other through the abdomen. Holmes, the as- sistant, was posted behind d tree, and like a coward allowed his brother officer to be murdered. The assassin. after mortally wOunding Bryant, took his arms, and then demanded of Holmes bis gun, which the valiant [. $. Marshal threw to him, and begged mercy at Lis hands. Miller, after coming of yictori- Ous, mounted a fine horse and started of into the mountains, waiving his hat at the enraged people of Flag Staff, who followed in hot pursuit. The Deputy Marshal also left 70 keep from being lynched by the citizens, who were right ly incensed at his beastly cowardice. It is thought that Miller will be captured. and 1t is to be hoped that he will never be brought to the county jail for safe keeping. Tie him with a stout piece of hemp is our advice. Mir. Bryant was not dead when the courier left, but he cannot possibly survive. He was an honest law abiding citizen, with an ex- cellent wife, and to be thus ruthlessly shot down while performing his duty seems too bad.
 Flag Staff has a reputation for rowdy- ism equal to that of any place on the and the sooner those blood-in- their-eyes heroes are killed of, the bet ter for the place and the whole country. We repeat if Miller Is captured don't bring him to Prescott.

The San Francisco Stock Exchange says Judge Benson has formed syndi- cate to buy the Grand Central mine. There is nothing wonderful in that. The only question Is will the Grand Central sell for the price offered. We think the mine is worth more than has been offered for 1t. At the same time it might be beneficial for our camp should the nego- tion be made, as it would bring in New York and English capital to an extent heretofore unknown. The gentlemen purchasing the property through the representation of our old townsmen, will induce other capital to come here and invest in properties, which may prove as important as those now paying large dividends Nugget
