FoR sometime past Thomas Fitch has been mentioned in connection with the office of Delegate to Congress. His In- terview with a newspaper reporter in San Francisco did not disclaim his can didacy. Among his friends 1t appeared to be tacit consent to become an aspi- rant for said place. Since Mir. Fitch found himself in a position where it was necessary to give definite information and as he has not been a candidate up ol hls own motion, he publicly an nounces in to-day's CITIZEN that he can nc, be candidate. However, we hope that he will remember his promise in the Delegate Convention to enter the canvass and work for the party's success, Few men are his equal es a speaker, and few men could strike such telling blows to the Democracy.

JAMES G. BLAISE's letter of acceptance
 Is not only one of the abiest papers of
 the kind ever written by nominee or
 read by people, but it gives such start
 ling and interesting information in facts
 and dry figures that makes them read
 like romance. There IS not great question of the day but what is touched upon and in unequivocal language tells the people what be believes and what his policy is, and if any Democra: objects and differs with him he must find it hard 10 excuse himself for departing from time honored principles of true Americanism. The progress of the country the past twenty years compared with the progress of the country since the revolutionary war up to 1864 Is giv- en. He shows that under Republican administrations the wealth Of the conn try has increased in twenty years three fold over tha; of the years from l776 to lS6I. The wonder of the world regard cd as phenOm nal by all other nations. The letter Is clear aud in easy language to understand. There Is no halt or upon the various questions now most prominently before the Amer can people. It is dignifed to the high est degree and displays familiarity and knowledge of public affairs that IS only ;ained by long and active experience. Be is dispassionate in every sense. Blaine has never failed hIs friends or lis party no matter what the emergency.

THERE is many a slip between the cup and the lip" IS gn old saying and practically experienced by every man on earth, and it will not be wonderful 1T the slip occurs az 'in, and the fond anticipations of our ssnguine people become wrecks, and the cup dashed to pieces; but until that unfortunate event occurs, if 1t does come, let us push the car of progress and enterprise along with all our strength. Stop this balk- ing and throwing sand in each others eyes. Chock the wheel now and then, take a rest and a birds eye view of things, and if everything is moving in a straight hne, lend a hand and help push the car along.

tatingly accept-be it Republican or Democrat. Goldman is more ob- scure than the "man from Erie" the hangmsn, for distinction. When such men as these hire hall and drum up a crowd of irresponsible" and tell the peopH that Blaine and Lo- gan's nominations are an insult to American manhood it IS about time the Republican party made quick work of them. The Republican press of the country has treated these people cav alierly; but it is time to handle them without gloves. They abuse and villify the Republican candidates without stint but get hot and make faces and vince If word is said about their be- loved Cleveland or themselves. It is the old Greeley trick over again. without Greeley. Republicans who followed Greeley felt warmly towards the old man for the great work he had perform ed in his long life of usefulness; but to follow Cleveland is incnmprehenslble, save that if these men can succeed in defeating Blaine and Logan they will be invited to seats Tn Cleveland's cabinet. They are spoils hunters, and Schurz's nav cannot be satisfied only by being kept in office perpetually. These men are not actuated from principle or be- cause they believe that Blaine and LO- gan are bad men, but because they know that Blaine and Logan will have noth- ing to do with such dangerous eie- ment since their kick, but they will scorpion-hke turn upon themselves and sting themselves to death for their de- sertion before the election is over.

It takes the place of the usual fair pamphlet. The premium list IS long and, for th;s country, quite liberal. This Is the fourth exhibit of this fair and it is expected to be much larger and more successful this year than ever. Ii has ceased to be an experiment; it is a reality. and a paying one; So will it be in this Territory If our people will stop jawing one another and make an effort to pull together and act like men who purpose to live in Arizona and become permanent citizens and not as if they were here to-day and off tomorrow.

TIE Board of Supervisors, in their capacity as Board of Equalization, Is going over the assessment list very rig idly and in a very large number Of cases, raising the amount of assessments. Those who are the fortunate possessors of good deal of this worlds goods may have been assessed al too low a figure, and if such Is the case the Supervisors are doing right. h fact the property holders vIll really pay less, fl the rate IS approximately fixed. The smaller the assessment the higher the rate; and of course the higher the assessment the lower the rat. But if property has been fully assessed if wouli be great in- justice to raise i.. Whoever has been thus assessed will have, ot coarse, an opportunity to be heard. We believe in fair assessment as fall az :s can be be given. The rate Of taxation will necessarily be lefs. 1t is too frequently the case that prop erty is given in far below the figure 1t ought to be and in such cases 1t Is right to raise it The largest property holders are perhaps affected most, but if the rate should be 2is instead of 5c, say, the amount finally paid will be less than in case Of low assessment To increase the assessment and not lower the rate would seem injustice, unless 10th had to be adhered 10 in order to raise sufficient amount of money to pay expenses and other demands. We believe that if those who have been enormously raised, will so present it to the Board at the proper time they Uill get redress.

SURVEYOR GENERAL JoHNsoS's an nual report to Commissioner Mcfarland published in yesterdays CITIZEN is quite interesting reading to ArIzonans. Ills recommendations will find Q hearty response and approval by the people. General Johnson has taken much pains to thoroughly inform himself in his office and the needs of the Territory. We believe 1t will have weight at head quarters and do the Territory material good. The questions discussed are those most prominent Tn our Territorial affairs, questions which have been dis cussed in newspapers and other ise, and We are pleased that General John- son has taken mp these important ques- tions and lad them before his depart msrS in the manner he has.

He IS always equal to It and in fact rises above it and beyond the fondest antici- pations of his friends-and shocks and surprises his foes.

WE believe a better feeling in the fu- ture prosperity of our town and Terri tory is being manifested. The harvest is abundant, SO far as it goes in this Territory; harvests everywhere in the United States are bountiful and money must become plenty and cheap. There will be more money than Is re- qulred to move crops and for specula- ton and much must seek investments away from home. Arizona will get her share notwithstanding perpetual de- sire and effort on the part Cf some Oi our misguided people to depreciate ev- erything of an ArizoniRn character. IL is we'll to correct wrongs within our county, city and Territory, but it IS sui cldal to post on the walls the startling announcement that we are bankrupt and that every officer and nearly all prI- vate citizens, except a few saints, are thieves. Even though there is some foundation for such statements is II right to herald it to the world? Have We not the remedy within ourselves with out embellishing the charges with unnst- ural and unreasonable figures; holding us up as monstrosities to be summed and avoided Gs timid man would a pestil- ence? We say that the affairs of Pima county are in no worse condition tban the affairs of other counties and far bet ter than many. The condition of our affairs have been examined by parties whose business it is to look after their moneyed interests, and they are sstis- fled. There are matters of importance to the Territory and to Tucson, which if successful will bring us a boom such as we have not had for long time. We are not permitted to speak palmer. Some things which would have been seriously damaging to our progress, had they been accomplished, have been thwarted and the danger removed. It has been done in quiet, determined way. The prosperity is coming, in our opinion, in a quiet way, becsuse those who have important matters in hand must fight shy of some people who can't exist, 1t seems, If they are not pulling down as fast as others build.

HENRY WATERsoN, upon July s, the opening of the convention. said in the Courier-Journal: ''0n a tariff straddle the Democratic party will not carry and should not carry one single cleo toral vote in any doubtful state. On a tariff straddle the party will not only march to certain and mer- ited defeat, but in that defeat it will render up its soul to God, ,who hates liars, coxards and fools" Henry IS now busy in adjusting his legs to ''the great strsddle.' It is said he has hopelessly rulned half dozen pair of the s.outest free-trade trousers.

ST. JOIN, the patron saint of the pro hibitionists, whom the Republican party has honored, heretofore, says he will heartily support the Prohibitionist can didate for President which that conven- ton will name to-day. The fact O. the matter Is, St. John is likely to be the nominee, though h: says he does not want to be sacrificed in that way. Si. John is mad because the Kansas Repuo- llcans did not re-elect him Governor, on a Prohibition ticket. He takes thIs step to get even with tine Republican party. In all cases where there is prominent man who bolts the Republican party, yon csn trace his history back a few months or years and find that at the bot tom his reasons are based upon some selfish or sordid foundation. He has sought office or appointment and failed; sought time and again-a perpetual office or spoiis seeker, but each time failing. He gets soured, and the sores on hls utdu DcCoInc IuilLluE matter huu cliuSI the Republican party kicks his putrid carcass out of the ranks. or the associs- ton don't agree any longer with his con- stitution and he joins the army of ''sore- heads" But this element has existed ever since there was Republican party; it exists in the Democratic party; Kelly is the boss sore-head of that party and Butler is the boss sorehead of all parties; Schurz is a soreheaG by nature and Cur tis is a raw-recruit These men have done but little damage. The Republi- c-eparty has won in spite of their ef- forts to defeat it, and it will win agaIn and again.
