The Tombstone Epitaph bewails the
 fact ,ha, seotionalism has cropped out in
 the discussion of the constitutional con
 ventien, It IS perhaps a misfortune, but
 the Phenix press IS responsible for it.
 While clamoring for the convention they
 took occasion to abuse papers which
 were honestly and conscientiousy cp- posed 10 holding if. as an expense to the
 territory from which no good could be derived. IL IS a safe estimate 10 say that three-fourths of the citizens outside of Maricopa county are opposed to this convention, whatever their views may be on statehood. It became apparent then that the people of the territory
 were asked to hold the convention
 simply to pay tribute to Phenlx. The Phenix papers with wonderful generosity now offer, as compromise, to hold the convention at any point Tn the territory that may be unanimously agreed upon. Fie on such bosh Phenix is the capital and if the convention is held that IS the only place to hold it. Besides If 1t were possible to hold it ln any other town we doub, If there is a single | town in the territory would want it. The JoURNAL-MINER has been honest Tn its opposition to the holding of conven- ton from the first, and were it decided to hold it in Prescott this paper would oppose 1t just as honestly and just as much, as being of no benefit whatever to he territery at large. 1,

Daniel Murphy. son of an ex- sheriff ot Santa Clara county, California, is the latest victim of "didn't-know-it-was loaded" lunatic. A law should be en- acted making it murder in the first degree, punishable by death, where . human life Is taken in this manner.

 The Phenix papers are reported 10 be figuring up their losses incurred for the reason that no constitutional con vention was held. The thousands of dollars that would have been paid them for printing, had the convention been held. now remains snugly ensconced in the pockets Of the taxpayers.-Citizen.
 The National Democrat is the name of paper recently started in Washing ton.
