Arizona weekly citizen., 1884-11-01

TEE day of election is near at hand, and every intelligent man should know who he is going to vote for. and have his ticket ready. There are good men on both tickets, but as General Rollins remarked in his speech last night, We believe there are more good men on the Republican ticket than on the other side. The CITIZEN has from time to time, drawn comparisons between the two tickets, and it does seem to us that the Republican ticket possesses the best material. Especially is this SO in the Legislative ticket. Geo. W. Brown, ot the CITIZEN office, heads the list of our candidates to the House, NIT. Brown IS so we'll known in this community that it seems almost waste of time and space for us to say anything in his be- half, yet We feel that We would be doing injustice to ourselves if we should pass lightly over his claims. Having known MT. Brown intimately for years, and having been associated with him on the CITIZEN off and on for four years past, We have gained a knowledge of his character and worth as a writer and as a thorough man in every position be hss filled-and there is no place on newspaper he can not ill wr feel justified in saying that he is one of the best qualified and most competent men for the legislature on either ticket, and that be is in every way worthy of the hearty and united sup port of his party, and if elected, as we have no doubt he will be, We can depend upon NIT. Brown to do his duty to the entire satisfaction of the people.
 The next man on the list, General H.. G. Rollins, of Nogales, IS another name that will give our ticket strength. Gen eral Rollins is one of the solid thinking men of the country, man thoroughly posted on all leading questions of the day, and especially does he understand the needs of Arizona, and has the abil- ity to represent us in the legislature with credit 10 himself and profit to his constituency.
 We are glad to know that the county Republican convention displayed more than ordinary good judgment in select ing men to represent us in the lower house. With the strong sense of such men as Rollins, they have called to his support E. W. Risley, an active, compe- tent young man, who will fit in among the older heads to good advantage, and will help them along with the bard work of the session more than any other man who could have been named.
 Next on the list Is the name of Eugene W. Aram, lawyer by profession and man of character and qualifica- tons. It is a good thing to have law yers in the legislature; their legal talent k at all times in demand, and they can accomplish much in the way of straight ening out and simplifying existing laws, and securing the passage of new ones.
 Last but not least, We come to the name of J. G. Hilzinger, a business man. who has clear and well defined ideas on many subjects, and who has the capacity to lay them before the people in such a way as to make them plain to others. The combination of our legis- lative ticket as whole IS as near periec- ton as it is possible to make it. We have the versatility of Brown, the strong common sense of Rollins, the activity and push of Risley, the legal talent of Arsm and the practical business experI- ence of Hilzinger. There is nothing that could be added to improve our del egation to the legislature. lt IS without doubt the very best list of names ever placed before the people of Pima county, and every man on the ticket should be elected by large majority.
