CowARDLY sLANpnR.

Some contemptible coward who is beneath the notice of honorable citi. zens, has prepared and distributed a malicious lying and abusive circular attacking the character of W. O. O'Neill, the Republican candidate for Probate Judge. The authorship of the dirty effort is being traced, and the person who wrote it will be forced to eat every word of his lying calumnies.
 A thing in human shape who will stoop to such vile and characterless means of injuring any member of the community even in the heat of a political campaign should not be tolerated in a civilized town, and we believe that in this case the villiher will meet with the punishment he so richly merits. Although the scrub IS too cowlrdly to sign his name, in our opinion he will be discovered and properly dealt with. We have seen the circular in question and un- hesi.atinsly declare it to b. tissue of ialsehoods from beginning to end conceived in malice and born of cowardly sneak ard distributed with the vilest intent. It is signed Ca committee of stockmen" for the pur- pose of deceiving. Stockmen do not lend themselves to such contenptible methods, It will act as a boon.raag upon its authors, and elect ". O O'Neill Probate Judge ot Yavapai County, by an overwhelming majo- rity.-Iournal-Miner.
 We have before us copy of the circular referred to above, and yiler, hthier, more contemptible production was never conceived or penned by human being. It was written by a coward, for he does not dare s,gn his name to it; it was written by liar, for it contains a mass of falsehoods from beginning to end; and it was written by fool, for it produces just the opposite effect to what he expect cd. We have shown the circular to meny pronounced democrats who blushed that such filthy production should apparently have come from their party. who indignantly denounc- ed it as low and cowardly, and who said they would vindicate themselves from any connection with, or approval if It, by voting for w. o. O'N.ill, the gentleman so fouly slandered for our next Probate Judge.

Ir looks now as though w. O. O'Neill, the republican candidate for probate judge, will run a long way ahead of his ticket. The stock and ranchmen will all vote for him, for the reason that he has stood by their interests constantly in his paper, the
 Hoof snd Horn, and has made bitter enimies of some of the merchants in Prescott by insisting that their pro. perty should be assessed and taxed as is thar of the men whose property lies all out doors, and can be easily counted aad estimated. The annony- nous, underhAnded, irresponsible i, dirty, scurrilous attack made upon his private character, in circular issued by some cowardly sneak, will but make his friends stronger and more jealous, and rally to hls stand
 ard political opponents. who desire
 to show by their votes that they will
 not countenance or uphold such sur Feptitious capyassing.

COL. 0. o. BEAN.

As Col. Bean possibly may not b. here to speak to our people person ally prior to the election, though he will try to be with us by next Mon day night, we publish below an ex- tract from his speech delivered at Tombstone last Saturday night, in which he touches upon and triumph. antly reiutes the charge SO per- stently m ids that he is a Gland grab. ber."
 "While upon the question of land claims" said the speaker. "it h as been asserted by portion of the Arizona press that I stood in with the land grab5ers in Washington to de- spoil citiz.ns on the Sal Pedro river notably on the so.cllled Tres Alamos grant-of their ho nes. pronounce the assertion a willful and malicious lie, and dare tn. prom1l. gltors of it to show the proofs. The facts are simply these: Son. m onthS since my attention was called by cer- tain citizens of Arizoli to the fact that an atte npt wi' b.ing mtie by interested parties to secure vast tracts of land on the Sln Pedro ani triol. tary streams by mans of fralillent Spanish grants. was asked to To ok into tn. matter anI report if sI1h was tbe case. i'm nediately called upoI the heads of the Lani D:part- Hent, and learned that son- such project was on foot, but that nothing would be done in the matter until the settlers had been fully heard from Tn their own behalf. 1T this Is what you call land graboing, thel 1 know not the meaning of the term. The Colonel then went on to state that he, in conjunction with Delegate Joseph, of New Mexico, prepared 2 bill to quiet title to private land claims in the Territories of Arizond and New Mexico; the bill provided for the appointment O. a commission with full power to il yestigate the matter. Upon consultation with Senator Edmunds, the Chairman oi the Judiciary Committee of the Sen. ate, the latter expressed himself as opposed to the bill, and for the req son that "that the courts of the land, were amply able to protect the rights of the humblest citizen. "Again, said the speaker, 'I pronounce the author of the charge that at any time had utilization with ihe lanC grabbers, or home stealers, as a wlll ful perverter of the truth, and | malicious campaign falsiier. r."-- Tombstone.

A CARD.

PREscorr, ARIZONA, Oct. as, 1886. EDITOR Journal.Miner.--
 Permit me through you columns to brand as lying craven and cur, the author of the infamous attack which has been made on me through the agency of an anonymous circular. It is an act worthy of the murderous instincts of an assassin who lacks the nerve to strike the fatal blow. An act only worthy of a man who will stab in the dark, or bsat the brains out of an unsuspectlng fellow-beins from behind. To the men of Yavapai county appeal for fair play, and ask that they do not permit the slanderous hes of a man who hides his currish instincts under the niix of an anonymous and undated clrcu. lar to prejudice them az iinst m.. To feel the warm lifeblJod gush from the veins opened by the wounds of fair warfare is no more to me than to any other Arlzonan, but he who wounds my reputation by slsnderous and cowardly lying, wJuad' m. deep indeed. Ii there b. truth in the circular, I challenge its auth pr to face me and give me an opportunity in the broad light of day, aud in opea sight of the brave m.n aud won.a with whom have lived and toiled for nearly ten years to meet it, and until theu ask my fellow citizens to regard with the abhorance it deserves thls attack of aserpent more dangerou, to society than any that leaves 1t: slimy pathway upon the dust. Very respectfully,
 w. o. O'Neill,
 Republican Candidate for Probate Judge.

Col. BEAN IS speaking to immense audiences throughout the southern part of the territory and is received with the greatest enthusiasm. He feels so secure in this section, and we'll he may, that very properly he is devoting most of his time to the seuth. west. In all his speeches, as reported in the papers, he has taken up, oie after the other, all the charges mad,- against him, and has completely re- futed them. He was in his seat in congress every day, and either advo- cated or resisted with all his might every measure which came up accord. ingly as it was for or against the in- terests of this territory. He intro duced number of billS for the bene- fit of his constituents, such as the set clement of disputed land claims, and appropriations for artesian wells, and for damages for depredations by In dians and pensions for those injured or rendered helpless by the murdercus Apaches, &c. These bills are nov in the hands ot committees, where they are incubating. and we should send him back to congress in order that he may hatch them into actual existence. A new untried and inexperienced man could not even take up these measures where Bean left them, but would have to begin all over again. We should, by all means, re.elect c. C. Bean in order that he may finish the work SC nobly begun,

TIE importance to us ot our precinct officers is apt to be overlooked in the excitement of agenersl election. Flag staff is entitled to two justices of the peace and two constables to be elect cd on the ad ofNJvember, and spaces are left at tn. bottoms of the general tickets in which to insert the names of candidates for those offices. In this connection political faith alone should have no influence. What we want are the very best men in our midst, irrespective of politics, who will consent to hold those positions. Seven good men announce themselves in these columns as candidates for constable. Each voter should care fully scan these names for himself, and place on his ticket the name of the two xho, in his opinion, will in every respect.make the best officers. The position of justice of the peace is apparently one not much sought after by our citizens. There is no doubt about it that anyone who holds the office is bound to make enimies. At best it is a thankless position m any community. Only men of firm | positive character, and who are will ing to sacrifice their popularity for the good of the people, should be elected. There are few such men among us and they should be brought to the front and urged to serve. But. tonhole the two men of your choice, get their consent to rua and place
 their names on your ticket. In this way and only in this way can
 we elect justices and constsbles to opr sasisfactlop,

 Col. C. C. Bean has been faith ful, diligent Delegate to Congress and as a man of experience and tact can always accomplish more than young man such as Mark Smith, full of conceit and egotisrn and without experience with men or even con ception of the necessities of the position which he seeks. Mark Smith is a man who was never heard of in the territory till he was nominat- ed and was unknown outside of his town and the mining company whose stiprney he was. ---lserasa,

A Princesss With a Heart.

The engagement of Prince Alexander, of
Bulgaria, and the Princess Victoria, eldest
unmarried daughter of the Crown Prince, is
broken. 1t was really an affair Of the heart.
The Bulgarian ruler is wonderful handsome
man, though his features betray the peasant
blood which flows in his veins. Tall, dark
eyed and we'll proportioned, tits but natural
that he should move the maiden's heart. The
Princess admired him and con6ded in her
mother who favored her inclination. The
Emperor and Crown Prince, obdurate from
the FIRST, opposed her wish. The heroic con
duct Of the Battenberger, his bravery and
skill amid the roar Of battle, served only to
fan the fame of the Princess love; and no
heart beat more rapidly at the news Of his
victory than that of the royal girl in the
palace Of Berlin. Friends pleaded for her,
the Queen of Roumania itecrceded in her be-
half, but all in vain. Her heart was sacri-
feed, her wish untitled. 1t is even wills
pered that the Prince will be striker from
the ranks of the German army, where he
now holds the position Of major general, il
he does not give her up.-Berim Letter.

why Victoria DisIikes Gladstone.

The Queens dislike of the "Grand Old
Man" dates from 1868, and thereby hangs
very pretty tale. The bill for the diseStab-
lishment Of the Irish Church, having passed
through Parliament, only required the Sow
ereigns mandate to become a law. 1t
CHANGED that Mr.. Gladstone repaired to
Windsor the day that the bill was forwarded
for signature, and was admitted to audience
with the Queen. AS is well known, her
Majesty was averse TO the essential princi
pie Of the bill, and, while willing to concede
reform, was strenously opposed to the de.
struC;ion of the Irish Church. She expressed
this much to Mr.. Gladstone, and, as the
Premier thought, showed great reluctance to
afix her signature to the bill. In his eager.
ness MIR. Gladstone blurted out:
"But, madame, you must sign"
The Queen flushed and rejoined, with
marked Indignation:
"Sir, do you know who ann"
"Yes, madame, the Queen Of England.
But does your Majesty know who l amp l
am the people OF England"
1t is needless TO say that the Queen sum-
marily brought the audience to a close and
in few curt words dismissed her Prime
Minister and babe him learn better manners
Since then she has scarcely made any pre-
tense Of concealing her personal anupathy
to the +Grand Old Man."

Neat Replies.

Andrew Jackson, it is related, was at one
time entertained at dinner by a gentleman
and among those present was one Of those
people who often find their way into story
books, etc., as the type Of that offensive
class of Americans who are always trailing
their nationality in the dust in the effort to
exalt their individual independence. This
particular gentleman, over the wine and wal
nuts after dinner, in order to emphasize his
own independence of disposition, of which
he was loudly boastful, remarked with
rare exhibition of self-complaisance to Gen.
Jackson:
81 always voted against you, sir"
The company was naturally rendered
speeches. by this unexpected disclosure,
and the scene actually looked squally; but
Gen. Jackson put a stopper on the boastful
individual and avoided further trouble by
smilingly remarking:
"And | have always fought the battles of
my country that you might enjoy that Privi-
lege."
Another instance Of happy response is
tina, Of an old Southern Judge-but whether
Judge by courtesy or in fact, the writer can
not state who must have had the faculty
of quick and appropriate reply pretty we'll
developed, if the story related Of him is true.
He had been a fierce Secessonist, and the
fact was not forgotten when, after the war,
he re-entered the political arena Of his Ma
tive State. Speaking at certain place one
evening in the interest of his own candidacy
for Congress some one in the audience, who
evidently had good memory, inquired:
"Didn't you speak here just before the
war;"
81 did, proudly responded the Judge.
"And didn't you say we could whip the
burned Yankees with pop guns?"
81 did," replied the unabashed Judge,
"but, confound 'em, they wouldn't fight
that way"
