The Arizona sentinel., 1886-05-15


 Washington, May 5,-There is no nomination pending before the Senate that has been SO consistently opposed, or has been subjected to so many var ious forms of>action as that of Zulick, of New Jersey, to be Governor of Ari- zona. Three times he has been favor ably reported from the Committee on Territories, and twice he has been sent back to that committee for the purpose of investigating charges made against him. Once he was confirmed, but a motion to reconsider prevented the announcement of the fact. Now his nomination stands upon the calender with a favorable recommendation from the committee, and Senator Me Pherson, who is responsible for the emigration of Zulick to Arizona, is trying to get him confirmed before another volley of charges is fired at him. It would require an ingenious man to concoct any new charges against AIr. Zulick, for he has been accused of almost every offense that a man could commit, except piracy on the high seas, but he and his friends have met them all in a manner satis factory to the committee and the re port ill his favor is unanimous. In fact, the violence and pertinacity with which he has been pursued has rather prejudiced the committee in hi: ! favor, eas it has amounted to persecu ton. Zulick has been informed oi every charge made against him and has treated them in a dignified anc respectful manner, all of the charges having come from the same source
 from his old home In Essex County N. J., where he apparently left good many bitter enemies.
 The first attack came in the form that he had been organizer of a Mex ican mining company and had swindlee lot of people, and those who hay,
 been trying to prevent his confrma
 tion were evidently the victims of thi
 speculation. As far as the committe, can ascertain, there was nothing fraud
 ulent or dishonest in Zulick's connec tion with the company, however. H, lost money in 1t as others did. Thi
 charge being set aside by the com mittee as not furnishing sufficien
 grounds for his rejection, Zulick' enemies brought in another to tn effect that while Assessor of Interna
 Revenue under President Johnson h.
 received bribes from men who wanted
 subordinate positions under him, ant that in one case where he accepted
 money he refused either to make tht appointment or return the money. HI was also accused of failing to mak, proper returns while acting as surrog ate of Essex county. An attack wa made upon his personal character, anC he was accused Of being a gamble
 and of dishonesty in pecuniary trans action, and it was alleged that tn person appointed to be his privat secretary is man of bad character The most serious charge however, Wa that after 1t was known he was dc feated for office in Essex county, h approached one of the board of can vassers and sought to bribe' him t , permit him (Zulick) access to the ball ot boxes to tamper with the votes S that the official count would give hin a majority. The man who is allege' to have been approached by Zulicl in this manner is dead, and the onl
 evidence to support the charge is
 story that before death he made som
 such statement. Another charg which created a good deal of amuse ment in the senate was that Zulicl
 was an habitual ofice-seeker and can
