Governor of Ariznna

WASHINGTON, May 5,-There is m m
 mination pending before the Sepats
 that has been So consistently opposed
 or has been subjected to SO many varlou,
 forms of action as that of Zulick. n,
 New Jersey, to be Governor of Arizona
 Three times he has been fayorably re- ported from the Committee on Teri
 tories, and twice he has been sent hack to that committee for the purpose of Investigating charges made against him Once be been confirmed, but motion to | reconsider prevented the announcemeu, of the fact. Now his nomination stands upon the calendar with favorable recommendation from the committee, and Senator Me Pherson, who IS responsible for the eml- | grafton of Zulick to Arizona, ia irving 10 get him confirmed before another yolley ot charges Is fired at him. It would require an ingenious man to con cOct any new charges against Mir. Za- Ilck, Tor he has been accused of almost every offense that man could commit. except piracy on the high seas, but he and his friends have met them all in A manner satisfactory to the committee and the report in his favor is unanimous. In fact, the violence and pertinacity win which he mas been pursued has rather preludIced the committee in his favor. as It has amounted to persecution. Zulick has teen informed of every charge made agalnst hlm and has treated them Tn q dlgnlhed and respectful manner, all of the charges having come from the same source, from his old home ID Essex County, \. J., where he apparently left a good many bitter enemles.
 The first attack came in the form that he had been the organizer of d Mexican inning company and had swindled a lot of people, and those who have been try ing to prevent his confirmation were eyi- dently the victims of this speculation. As far as the committee can ascertain. there was nothing fraudulent or dishon- est m Zullcks connection with the com pany, however. He lost money Tn 1t as others did. This charge being set aside by the committee as not furnishing sui hclept grounds fer his rejection, Zulick's enemies brought in another to the effect that while Assessor of Internal Revenue under President Johnson be received bribes from men who wanted subordi- nate positions under him, and that in one case where he accepted money he refused either to make the appointment or return the money. He was also sc- clsed of failing to make proper returns while acting as surrogate of Essex coun- ty. An att ick was made upon his per songl character, and he was accused of being s gambler and of dishon- esty in pecInIary transactions, and it was alleged that the person appointed to be his prIv8te secretary Is R pan cf ba character. The most serious charge however, W is that 6fierit was known hs IS defeated for office in Essex county, he approached one of tine board of can vassers and sought to brIbe him to per mt him tZ Illck) access to the ball boxes to tAmper with the votes so that the official count would give hIm G ma iOrity. The man who Is alleged 10 have been approached by Zulick in this man. ner IS dead, and the only evidence to support the charge IS a story that before death he made some such statement
 Another chsrge which created good deal of amusement in the senate WAS that Zullck was an offensive pGrtisBn;' that he was an habituI.l office-seeker and candidate for something or other at nearly every election. This charge. like all the others, came from Demo crats, and 1t Is the only one tn which | the Governor of Arizona pleaded guilty.
 Document in support and defense of Zulick iD large numbers have been filed with the committee, and he appears to have frIenis as active Es his enemIes.
