fTucsou Journal.


 |: is now sufficiently ascertained that fl the nomination of Hon. F. A. Tritle has not already been sent into the Senate as Governor of this Territory 1t will be, and his confirmation IS W Il assured. It may be of interest to many of our readers to know something connected with the life and character of the gentleman who has been advanced to the chief executive of tle Tc:- ritory.
 He was born at Chamberburg, Pa., AC- gust 7th, 1883, and graduated at the law school of Chamberburg in 1854. He married in 1872 sister of Col. B. H. Hereford oi this city and Hon. Frank Hereford, ex- United States Senator from West Virginia, . niece of e1-Senator and Governor Henry S. Foote.
 Subsequently he emigrated to Iowa, and in connection with the practice of the law established a bank and real estate business ir partnership with H. c. Mutt, President oi the Atlantic and Pacific railroad.
 In 1859 he was appointed by G. c. Cor penning, contractor for the Overland mail route, to proceed to Salt Lake to arrange and settle certain financial difficulties IT which the contractor had become involved by reason of Congress having failed to make he necessary appropriations for the mai service. Having satisfactorily adjusted Mir Corppening's affairs, instead of returning tc Iowa he continued his course to Nevada and identified himself with the mining operations there and elsewhere, ever since.
 In 1865 he was elected to the State Sen ate of Nevada, reelected in 1867, resigned in 1870 to accept the Republican noml' nation for Governor of the State, but wal defeated by Governor Bradley, familiarly known as Broad Horn" the nominee oi the Democracy. After which he emerged from the filthy pool of politics, and adopted the business of broker on the Com stock in company with D. Driscoll. Esq, which hc pursued. until on account of fall ing health, he removed with his family to Oakland, Cal, temporarily, as well as for the promotion of his heath as the education of his children, of whom there are tlvc-one daughter, grown, and four sons
 We have committed to -;ate m its proper onnection that the frs dividend paying company, the Bclchcr, "as organized and the management of its affairs conducted by him until the office uf he comPaAy was transferred tn the city fl san Francesca; that he was Presidcn: If 'Ic Yellow Jacket Mining Company, and having reached level of DO feet, hca; l;G and water boiling, without sufiicleDs pay ore to justify attempts t0 proceed with further develop ments. he sought other | ning fields and Is BOW interested in important mining enter prises both in this Territory and the State oi Sonora.
 It may he added that al onc time he be- came the candidate ol' the sepubilcan ticket for United States Senator from Nevada, but Hon. J G. Fair and the Democracy of the Silver State proved too much for him and hIs Senatorial aspirations were thus dlSaT- pointed.
 From all the information We have been able to gather concerning the personal character and standing of the reported ap- pointee. We are inclined to the opmion that F. A. Tritle will prove to be an efficient officer. and though tseTc may be individual dissatisfaction, disappointed asplrants may make objections, yet, upon tine whole, the appointment will command popular endorse ment
