TOMBSTONE. Arizona,
 Nov. 10, 1884 In looking through the St Louis Globe Democrat of the 9th, and the San Francisco Chronicle O; the same date. found special dispatches were sent out from Tucson which read as follows: Special ,o the Glo5e-DenoerAt.
 TUcsoN, Nov. 5.-The election in this Territory will without doubt elect Bean, Republican, to Congress by 400 majority. This Is the first Republican victory in ten years. It was caused by the general popularity of the Federal officials and the failure of the present ! Democratic member of Congress to ac- complish the wishes of the people dur ing the past four years.
 Special to the ChronIel5
 TUcsoN, Nov. 5.-Thomas Gates, Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, comedies the election of c. c. Bean, Republican, of Prescott, delegate to Congress, by a majority of from 300 to 50O. R il. Loug, Ropubli- can, Superintendent oi Public Instruc- ton, is probably elected. ThIs IS a Republican gain of 200, the principal cause being the active work of Federal officials and their popularity. This is the first Republican delegate for ten years.
 Was there ever anything written further from ths truth. Popularity of Federal officials" indeed! I am a good Republican and voted the ticket straight at the recent election. But it was not on account Of the 'pOpulsrity of Fed eral officials"
 The rectn: Territorial Convention in this place which nominated Bean, among other things inserted plank Tn it's platform which reads us follows:
 Twelfth, That as Republicans we de- precate the practlce of Federal officials ID appointing as their deputies indIvId- ual members of the Democratic party as being inconsistent, unfair and unjust to those who are maintaining Republi- can principles m this Territory, know ing full well that the Republican party possesses sufficient intelligence and ability from which to select compete mt men who will discharge the duties obligatory upon them for such posi- tions."
 That was, without doubt the honest expression of the party at that time, and do not believe the Republicans of ArIzona have changed in their feelings towards the men who prRctlced the abuses referred to. We have a number of Federal officers In Arizona who attend to their business and have the respect of the people. We have others who occupy a different posi- tion. Such men have injured the Re publican party ID Arizona, and the idea of their popularity helping Bean Is an assumption on the part of these gentle men that appears very ridiculous here Tn Arizona, where everybody knows II tC be false. The Federal officials of Arizona cut no figure in politics further than to control their own votes, and from what know of the spirit and tenn Der Of the people, they are not likely f for long 10 come. The bona fids Re publican citizens of Arizona are not sheep tn be led about by nonresident medi .crity. They are ihe ones who led off for Colonel Bean, and be is indebted tC tnem for hIs election, and If the Fed eral official who hung on to hIs skirts duriOg his canvass m this section of the Territory had never shown his face, Beans majority would have been from l00 to 900 more in the southern tier of counties than 1t is
 l CITIZEN REPUBLICAN.
