SOMETIME since we took occasion to call attention to the equivocal position assumed by the Gazette in relation to the Reavis claim. The matter is one of paramount imports ance to the people cf this valley and it was not surprising that our cotem- porary hastened to deny the soft im- peachment in language more forci> ble than grammatical. Saturday last, however, a deed was fled in the recorders office by which J. Addi- son keavis for the alleged considera> tion Of S60 transfers to Homer H. McNeil. publisher of the Gazette, all right and title claimed by the former, to certain real property held by McNeil in this city.
 On it's face this may appear as an ordinary business transaction where in MT. McNeil desires to secure for himself immunity frem ligation which he may possible believe will follow in the dim future, but the effect desired by MT. Reavis is very different from this. The magnitude of his claim is we'll understood, and it embraces the richest part of Ari- zona, including our valley. It has yet received no official recognition and it is most important to the pres ent occupants of the property within the grant that it should not.
 If color of validity is given to this rash scheme to mulct our farm CTS and other property owners. liti> gation will most likely follow, last ing inde finitely, involving great ex> pense and depressing the value of property. The present object of the claimants seems to be desire to secure sufficient number of pur- chasers at nominal figures to give to their cz-im the appearance of res cognition by the people of Arizona, who are most interested. With such showing they hope to be able to influence the government and bring about the realization of their wild scheme. Hence when the proprietor of 6 newspaper, which is supposed to stand between the people and all such imposit1ons, deliberately enters into the scheme, willingly no doubt the matter becomes public affair So far the Messrs. Reavis have fortunately not been able to find many people of this section so blind as to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, and the instance in question forms a notable exception The Gazette has frequently express ed the opinion that the claim was a wild and visionary attempt at rob- bery, and the people might have ex- pected that it's proprietor would have been the last one to surrender a right which directly effects every interest of the county as well as each individual properly owner.

THE Tucson Star is one of the most enterprising sheets in the Ter ritory. It has lots of push and never acknowledges defeat. In it's issue of the 10th, it sets to work to figure up Democratic victory all round in the elections of last week in the eastern States, and. as "fgures never lIe," it made out a stunning good case--in it's own mind-anG rubs its sides ID very glee at lhe nlcety with which it has fixed things up. In figuring, however, it don't seem to have observed the number 17,700- the Democratic loss in the last year in Ohio and it therefore counts on Ohio's 23 electoral votes. It fails to note little Republican majority of some 15,000, and a Republican legis- 1dbuAC ln 1NOW I 1OIh, duQ b46TclOIt t counts on 36 electoral votes from New York. It counts on ''solid south," with Georgia, Alabama, Mis- sissippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky "dead -et" against free trade and rampant for protective tariff; it seems to have overlook cd these little items that will come uI in the reckoning next year, and therefore counts on 155 electoral votes from that section of country Well, there is nothing like digger in' to one's own satisfaction, but to count and to carry are two political devotIons that are not always found in company.
