NOW MARCUS AuRGllAS WAS Noas.

Atwoweeks old campaign sheet publish
 cd in Tombstone by couple of tramps,
 takes issue with the s,atemen, recently published in the JoURNAL-MINER in
 reference 10 the nomination of Mark
 Smith by Thos. E. Parish. The dia,ribe
 of this ephemeral campaign circular,the
 existence oi (which will be forgotten before
 the votes are counted ID November, are
 reproduced tn the Courier. with ali the
 gusto of "there l told you sc." The
 JouRXAl-MINER, before making a
 statement, prepares itself to furnish the
 proof thereof and to clinch the assertion
 with the impress of the truth. In its
 brief reference to the nomination of
 Marcus Aurelias Smith, cf Tombstone,
 by Thomas E. Parish, sf Yavapai, as the democratic candidate for delegate to congress- i. did not take the trouble to
 enter iuto details. Since the assertion
 is denied by Marcus mouthpiece in
 Tombstone and tacItly so by the organ
 of Gov. Zulick in Prescott, of which NIT.
 Parish, his private secretary, is associate
 editor, by their production of the afore-
 said article we will give the history of this nomination. Mir. Farish went to the Tucson convention loaded with sixteen proxies. By previous commit nioaiions the vote of MT. Parish and these proxies were pledged to A. C.
 Baker. of Phenix, Gov. Zulioks first choice. Mir. Parish went 10 Tucson
 conventIon with three distinctive and one contingent object in view. The distinctive objects were the nomination ofA. C. Baker delegate 10 congress,
 the adoption of resolutions in the
 platform endorsing Gov. Zuliok's administration, and the election of
 himself as chaman of the convention. The contingent objec. vas, in case oithe fsilure of the nomination of Mr Baker 10 secure 1t for himself. On his arrival at Tucson he ~ss met by the United States Marshal, between whom and Gov. Zl,ick there has recently sprung feeling of frieidi,y, who told Mr. Parish, the bearer of sixteen proxies from northern Arizona. ,ha, be was over- reaching bis ambitions and in unmistaka ble language informed him :ha, he could have the chanmanship of the and the resolution but it was on the express condi- \ .ions that Mark Smith was nominated for congress. In order to grstify his personal ambition to preside over the Iunereal proceedings of his party and to 1 get an endorsement, of his party Tor his administrator, he was compelled to sacrifice the man of his choice and vote himself md proxies for the choiCeo of bigger | nan, notwithstanding as stated in this l obscure campaign circular that ''of the hree candidates for delegate. NIT. Baker was a, the first undeniably the strongest"
 MT. Meade laid his hand gently, but firmly on the shoulder of northern Ari- :ona's sixteen proxies and said in one of lis bIandest and yet sweetes, tones: We intend to nominate Marcus Aure- ias Smith fer congress, and we intend io manage our own affairs. In return we Till allow these sixteen proxies to organ ze the convention, with their bearer as and will permit them to weeten Gov. Zulick with a limited mount of ,afy. Sabe''
 The bearer of sixteen proxies "sabed,' nd this is how Hon. Thos. E. Parish, evernor de facto. and private secretary 9 Governor Zulick, nominated NIT. ;mi,h fer congress.
