 NEW YORK. June lS.-Ex-Dsiecate Campbell, of Arizona. being interviewed said: T don't think i' probable tha Arizona. Dakota, New M-xlco or any Cf the aspiring Territories will be admitted as States until the two Houses and t:it Administration are all Ol the same poll ticai party The MormoEs are cOlouiz- ing in large numbers m AriZgua, which may be fatal tn its admission, as n th. ease of Utah Tie same trouble IS Bp- bearing m New Mexico. aud, besides that, there Is very poor Mexican ele- ment. wh,ch is not progressive, ard the stock TaiseTs do not add much to the permanent development of the Terri tory. Anzons and New Mexico are now considered the best mining regions m the country.
 Ex-Judce Clayton. ot Washington Territory, said: II do not see any im- mediate prospect for the admission of Washington Territory as a State. Con rressmcn seem t0 be utterly indifferent as ;o the extreme West, and rather re- gard us as an outslde dependency of R growing Territory Of l2c,O1O people. The ewes of the Eastern people seem so wrapuei up in their own interests that they do not have time tO consider any thinr. DO matter how important It IS the country beyond theIr individual surroundings. We should be admitted before the Presidential election, and We would return three Republican electoral vote. The great trouble Is, we have too many politicians "ut there for the area of ;he Territory. There are about t.eutv defined candidates fer United States Senator. and double that number of dark horses. The names of the men who are willing to sacrifice themselves for State offices would perhaps fill your paper
