A history so pregnant with pure thought and high endeavor should awaken the sympathy and arouse the ambition of the most sluggish. A freedom which has cost so much sweat of brain and blood, so much treasure of money and life, should grow inexpressibly precious.

"The handsome Coup d'eta,' of the Maricops delegation at the Tucson democratic convention broke the alliance between Zulick and Prescott and yet, while Mar. icopa endorsed Zulick, it we'll. knew the governor would not receive the endorse ment of the convention. The combina- tion for the removal of the capital had been settled. and Maricopa took in the governor at that convention. They evidently knew that the only way tt reach him was through his vanity prejudice or pocket and ali no doubt wer, utilized. ," The above bears out the as sertions heretofore made by this paper that Governor Zulick was at the head o the movement to remove the capita and that the combinations formed for the purpose were framed by him.

However the fact that Purdy knocked out his man, we feel quite easy as the governor has promised to clean out the Star man as soon as he IS released of his executive responsibil- ity, and we know that if Purdy can knock him out we can. do him Up in about ten seconds and have some time to spare.-Star.
