 "At the late democratic county convention of Yavapai county, Arizo- na, we see that A. G. Oliver, an old time and highly esteemed citizen of Gold Run, in this county, was made chairman and was subsequently, nom- mated by the same convention for supervisor. Mir. Oliver is a gentle man of first class business attachments and of the most sterling integrity, qualifications eminently essential for good supervisor.

The Indictm ents Against Sheriff Stevens,
 of Graham County.

We have read great long report from the grand jury of Graham coun- ty. in reference to fictitious over charges made against Geo. H. Stev. ems, sheriff of that county, and did not believe them at the time. On this subject the Yuma Sentinel says:
 "The indictments against Sheriff Stevens, of Graham county, are flimsy political documents, and place the members of the grand jury that found such indictments in no enviabIe light. There can be no man more ccntemp- tible than the one who takes advan. tage of accidental power Tn the in- terest of personal spite. The indict- ments against MT. Stevens show on their face ignorance and malice, for they purpose to claim him guilty oi crime fees any decent lawyer will as sert that he was entitled to. Unlike other papers the Sentinel assumes nothing, but took the trouble to find out the facts before jumping at con clusions. ''

it is brilliant, and he is to-day accord ed place second to none among the illustrious railway heroes of the time.
 Judge w. C. Hazledine, solicitor for the road, has exercised restless vigilance in behalf of the interests of the company, which is deserving of the highest praise. His successful management of the legal affairs of the Atlantic and Pacific has stamped him as one of the ablest and most concien- tious railroad attorneys in the west. The work in this department of new railroad, traversing broad expanse of country, it may readily be concelv- ed, was never intended for sinecure, and the company IS to be congratu- lated upon having secured for Its cause one so earnest and indefatiga- ble as Judge Hazledlne.

 If, as MT. Dodson says, he has not been promised a deputyship under Mulvenon, in case of the latter's cleo tion, it would be an act of ingratitude should he refuse to appoint him dep uty, as he not only put up the ticket and carried it for the primary, but is working like Trojan ever since for Mulvenon's election, and Dodson is no drone when it comes to political work. Prescott Journal.
 The above may be intended as a slur upon J. M. Dodson. In case of Mulvenon's election, he could not do better than place MT. Dodson on the roll of deputies. We know no prom ises have been made by Mulyenon, but as he is certain to be the next sheriff, if he appoints Dodson a dep uty, the people of the north will most heartily accord with his views. MT. Dodson is an untiring worker for the whole democratic ticket, and is de, serving of some reward at the hands of his successful party. Give us Dod- son by all means, and the fact that he is to be remembered by those for whom he performs such valuable serv. ice will strengthen the ticket in this section. Put this in your pipe and smoke it, MT. Journal.

Honor to whom Honor Is Due.

We most heartily endorse the fol- lowing compliment bestowed upon F. w. Smith, General Superintendent of the A. & P. railroad, and Judge w. C. Hazledine, solicitor for the same company, which appears in the Ecce Montezuma, a magazine published Tn the interest of the south west:
 The Atlantic and Pacific railroad is no uncertain tribute to the genius of Mir. F. w. Smith, who, throughout, was the ruling spirit in its construc- ton. Mir. Smith has the spirit of a conqueror; he IS the Napoleon of the southwest, who wars not with men, but delights in an army of obstacles and his ability to overcome them. He is jealous champion of the land he dwells in, and unhagging in the ardu- ous labor of sowing the seeds of pro. gress. The career of this gentleman, in the building and the opening of the great railroad which now claims him as it's general superintendent, has been beset with a multitude of discourage ments and difficulties; his success, nevertheless, has been as complete as
