Acker & Walker the well known cattle and horse men of the Mogollon Mountains, sold this week to w. G. Stewart, the live stock commission merchant of Flagstaff, car load Of Norman Percheron, three-year-old colts, which weighed from 100 to I3so pounds each. Stockmcn who saw them loaded on the train, say that they are the bsst band Of colts that have ever been shipped fiom tn is section. They are all gentle and broke, and without doubt will bring large price in Cllifornia 10 which place Mir. Stewart is shipping them. The shipment of this band of colts corroborates the statement winch We have made in the Champion SD ofte n, that nowhere in Arizona does there exist better facilities for the rIislng of stock, than around Flagstaff for a radius of 40 miles, Ample feed the year round, and during the dryest time of the past summer, no com plaints were heard of any desrth of water This portion of Arizona can truly be called the stockmea IS para disc.

THE TWO TICK ErS.

By comparison of the two county tickets 1t will be seen that the dem ocrats have nominated only Prescott men to the lucrative offices, such as Sheriff, Treasurer, District Attorney, Recorder and Probate Judge, thus entirely ignoring the claims of anyone outside of that pretentious burg. Prescott, being the county seat, largest town and business centre of the county, naturally has right to be considered, but when she demands everything from a party and it is willingly conceded, It looks as if something more substantial than fi,- ness was the pursuasive power.
 The republicans, on the contrary gave but three nominations to Pres colt, one of which is a renomination, and the incumbent necessarily resides there. From this showing It will be c; silly seen which party is free and untrammeled and has consideration for every section ofthe whole county, and which bows the knee to its bosses and is considera,e only of a clique of chronic ofiicesholders. This is only one view of the subject, upon which the voters of Yavapai county should concentrate their gaze at present.

increasing tile associate justices of the Territory.
 Resolved, That the sweeping re- moval of the judges of the Territory by President Cleveland was an abuse of power, violation of law, and a disgraoeful exercise of political power.
 Resolved, That General Miles is entitled to our warmest gratitude and respect for his sterling efforts to sub due the Apaches, and the magnificent success of his arduous campaign is but the result of that calm judgment and military skill which are characteristic of the true soldierj that Captain Law. ton, Lieut. Gatewood and their gal lant command through whose untiring efforts the Apache war was broughtto successful termination, have dis played a heroism and restless zeal which stamp them as model soldiers of determination and devotion to duty, and entities them to our eternal grati- tude.
 Resolved, That we are in favor of the appointment of Federal officers from the residents of the Territory; and that we earnestly urge the passage of law by Congress which shall per init delegates to vote and have equal powers with members of Congress from States and that the Territorial officers shall be elected by the people.
 Resolved, That this convention declares its unqualified approval ofthe late Republican administration in ArIzona, its progressive and beneficial influence upon the advancement of the Territory, its freedom from narrow and partisan abuse of power, and tho broad and liberal stand taken by l upon all matters of public interest.
 Resolved, That the Republicans oi Arizona unreservedly condemn the, course pursued by Governor Zulick in attacking the good name and credit of the Territory by continued and studied misrepresentations for partisan purposes.
 We charge him with having slander ed the citizens of Arizona in official proclamations and with falsely claim ing credit for results accomplished without his help or instrumentality.
 We charge him with an arbitrary and partisan abuse of power, in his effort: to remove without cause or authority of law able public servants who are faithful to the trusts imposed upon them and who command the respect and confidence of the Territory. i We charge the administration o Governor Zulick with being narrow and partisan in its efforts and purposes tending to prostitute public officials to party schemes in the organization of partisan Grand Juries under the influence of party manipulators a great expense and without beneficial results.
 Resolved, That the Republican! of Arizona commend the action of the appoin,ees of the late Republican ad ministration in maintaining theil rights to remain in office until tho legal expiration of their terms, ane approve their steadfast fealty 10 ths Republican party and their resistance to the arbitrary and illegal assumption of power by Governor Zllick.
