Arizona republican., 1890-08-28
FACTS LAID BARE,


 such conditions. This is especially so in political matters, men who have the good of the party at heart sacrificing what ever feeling of distrust they may have towards bolters and men who assume to be dictators in order that the entire party maystriumph.
 This is so of the loyal Repub- cans of Arizona today, and no one is more anxious of success than TIE REPUBLICAN, but scenes were en- acted in this city last night that call for plain talk and that we shall give.
 For the last two days certain alleged Republicans of this city have been busy in circulating reports that Governor Wolhey had been removed, or was to be removed, and they have have done this with an activity and q venum, creditable only to the most bitter and rampant Demo crat Tn Arizona. Early last night these same men began reporting anew on the street that an associated press telegram had been received from Washington saying that the Governor had been removed, through charges pre- ierred against him at Washington, and that an Indiana man would be appointed in his place. These same men would, when meeting others of their ilk, grasp one another by the hand and offer congratulations.
 Even granting that the report were true what was there about it that should cause loyal Republicans to congratulate themselves over it? Has Governor Vol fley ever done one thing that was not Republican? Has he not stood up for his party and month after month fought the Democratic holdovers until he saw them all busted from the offices they usurped and their places filled by honest Republicans? Has he not at all times labOred for the advancement of the Territory and for the good of the Republican party as a whole? Even granting that he has made some mistakes (and who does not make mistakes) can any one answer these questions but in the affirmative? :?
 The telegram really sent out was as follows:
 TUCSON August 27.-Despatches have been re- ceived here announcing the removal of Governor wolney, through charges preferred a' Washing ton. The same authority states that an Indiana man will be appointed.
 and read it carefully, aye read between the lines. Is it not fact that this but retells the same "rumors' that have been so freely circulated in Phoenix the. last few days, and is not this telegram sent out to try to give an idea that the information alleged came from Wash ngton? But did it? Let us see. Yesterday afternoon the editor of the Tucson Star received a tele- gram from his master who is at present in Phoenix giving him the rumors in circulation here and his instructions as to how to act. He obeyed implicitly and did is part well.
 Upon charges preferred at Washing ton." Charges have been preferred at Washington, but let us ask who prefer red them. The chief instigator in the movement is one William Christy, a man who aspired to the Governorship of Arizona himself and when he failed to receive the appointment, instead of en- couraging and assisting his successful rival, as all honest and true Republi- cans did, immediately began a relentless war upon him, and has kept it up ever since. He aspires to be the dictator of the Republican party of Arizona, and if he cannot be that, then he says, 'I will ruin it." and his henchmen of Maricopa county cry "Amen." A sample of his dictatorship is shown in his dispatch sent out from Washington last week to the northern counties saying the Territorial Conven- tion is postponed. A copy of that tele gram reads
 WASHINGTON, August 19, 1890
 To ORcK JACKSON, Prescott, Arizona.-The Republican Territorial Conven ton is postponed until September sixteenth Notify your dele gates. VIM CHRIsTY, Chairman
 The Republican Territorial Central Committee, at it's meeting in this city in June, set the time for the Convention at August 26. By what right and authority does this self-styled boss send this order from his throne in Washington? Since when has the supreme authority to order Republicans of Arizona around like slaves, been vested in the person of the Chairman of the Territorial Central Committee?
 Yet this is but on par with other acts. He has seemed to be guided by the principle that if 'I cannot control the Republican party of Arizona will bury it so deep, face downward, that it cannot be resur-
