ITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
LET GO YOUR HOLD.

The EPITAPH is pleased to see the republican senate confirming President Clevelands jappointess, As will be seen by ourN dispatches Surveyor General
 Hise was confirmed yesterday. This is as it should be. Let the democratic party of Arizona, as elsewhere, stand or fall by its own record. 1t is the duty of every republican in the territory holding territorial office, promptly to resign. Their actions in holding fast to offices that does not in any sense belong to the republicans will only work an injury to the paetym the coming campaign. The republican party has a large majority Tn this territory, as was proven by Col. Beans sweeping victory in the last cleo tion. We believe that every republican who has the welfare of his party at heart will see the advisability of this move. The people cannot be hoodwinked into the belief that those offices belong to the party which is not in power. They voted to change the administration and now we say: Obey the mandates of that decision. The prompt and honorable actions of w. C. Davis, of Tucson, and E. B. Gage, of Tombstone, in handing m their resignations to the governor, is is in striking contrast with that of other republican officials of this territory, who are at present holding fast with death- like grip to the few inferior positions they now hold by courtesy. We would again say to those gentlemen: Loosen your holds upon the loaves and fishes and you will thus place both yourselves and the party in more dignifed posi- tion before the public. The republican party has always been noted for its fair and digni6ed attitude and the action of these few officials, in refusing to let go of few petty offices, only places an oppor- tunity for criticism within the grasp of our, opponents-an opportunity which they are not al all slow to avail them- selves of.
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-03-05
Removal of Territorial Judges,

WASHINGTON, March 4.-In the case of Judge McAllister, of Alaska, the, sen, ate will probably pass resolution calling upon the attorney general for informa- tion as to the authority under which the justice of United States court has been suspended. Section I76S of the Revised Statutes says:
 During any recess of the senate the president is authorized in his discretion to suspend any civil officer appointed by and with the advice and consent of the senate, except judges of the courts of the United States"
 President Cleveland has suspended three chief justices of territories and seven associate justices, which is held by the judiciary committee to be direct violation of the law. The administra- tion will take the ground that territorial justices are not justices of the United States courts within the meaning of the statute, but the judiciary committee maintains that they belong as much to the federal judiciary as justices of the supreme court, and that the excepting clause. was placed in the statute, as the congressional debates conclusively show, to protect the judiciary of the territories from executive interference. If the pres- ident has the right to remove justices at pleasure, he could control the judiciary.
 Justice Mclean of the United States supreme court, in an opinion delivered in 1855, said "The president has no more power to remove territorial judge than to repeal the laws. The duties of judge of territory are discharged as independ- ently and as free from executive control as are the duties of judge of the su- preme court of the United States" fs
 This opinion was before the senate when the existing clause was inserted in the statute, and throughout the debate was accepted as the law. It was not contended that the president could not remove judge. It was admitted he had no such power. Judge McAllister will probably rely on this in his argument before the supreme court.
