 PREsclTr, March J.-The CITIZEN has been severely criticised for its course to- ward Wardwell, Of Cocbise. IL is re- ported here that the letters published in cammendation Of Wardwell are forger- ies. Itis significant that his entire del s-ation look upon him as a man of DO character; also his local press. Many | members of the session at first believed the ass of the HUachucas a persecuted man, and that his colleagues were ieal- ous at the notorIety he got The delega- uou from Cochise remarked at the be- | ginning of the session that we would | find him out before parting. In Ward wells biography he speaks of his army | record. His name does not appear in the army record, witch IS positive proof oi not having served as an officer and it is doubtfuI if even as a private; if so he was in the hospital or on fatigue duty. His record will be ventilated in the House byJ. F. Duncan, of COchise. This is sufficient to convince all fair minded men that Wardvell is dishonor- able; as AIr. Duncan stands high in the estimation of his constituents and with his associates here. Not a measure that Wardwell introduced has passed. That | infamous stock bill was an indication of the mans character With this expla- nation VI trust readers Of the CITIZEN will excuse the course taken and now We retract all favorable remarks about the ass of the Huachucas. l PREscorr.
