Arizona republican., 1890-10-23
A DEEP LAID SCHEME.

Do voters of Arizona fully comprehend the enormity of the political plot that has been matched to despoil them? If not, it is time for them to stop and pom der. Ponder over the villainous record of the Zulick administration on the prison steals alone, the open and brazen peculations and the expressed and cor dial endorsement of the stealings and stealers by the chief rogue, c. Meyer Zulick; ponder over the fact that those defalcations are yet unpaid; ponder over the fact that by law, distinctly set forth, each and every one of the Zuliek Prison Commissioners is responsible upon his bond for the money stolen, and then cast your eyes upon the Legis- lative tickets that have been put forth in number of counties, ostensibly by the Democratic party.
 We say ostensibly, because the candidates referred to were not nomi- mated by the honest Democratic voters of the several communities, but by a subtle combination, for purposes of their own; they were not nominated to repre- sent the people, but to assist in fasten- ing once more upon this unfortunate Territory the letters of gang, to the end that past peculations might be con doned and covered up and future raids upon the Territorial Treasury legalized. Not content with number of tools who have been selected for nomination in several instances, the members of that gang have boldly thrust themselves for ward and propose to engineer their legislative plans in person.
 Look you at the list Chiefest of all, as Satan is supreme among his fellows, is c. Meyer Zulick, the direct cause of all the corruption that prevailed in the Ter ritory during his dministration-he is nominated for the Territorial Council. Then there is Peter K. Brady, the Chairman of that same criminal Board, man, who, knowing of the steals, per mitted them and allowed his active as- sociate to escape; member, who, in every way, showed corruption, the least of which was to mulct the Territory in excessive mileage-he is also candi- date for the Territorial Council, from the Southern District. Again, there is Thomas Halleck, of Mohave, also a Prison Commissioner at that time, a man who was with Brady equally guilty and equally corrupt, even, as well, in the petty matter of mileage-he, also. desires to be in the next Territorial Council and has his name before the voters of his county. Another on the list is John H. Behan, who, coming to Yuma with most unsavory reputation, gained by him while Sheriff of Cochise county, as an associate of the band of cowboys that then terrorized Southern Arizona, was placed by the Zulick ring in the position of Superintendent of the Prison; he was there all during the robberies, he must have had full knowl- edge of them, and if he was not himself one of the robbers, the facts are brought unpleasantly close home to him--he is candidate to the Territorial Assembly from Yuma county. Then we have Thomas Parish, one of Governor Zulick's private secretaries,a a man thoroughly un- der the bidding of his chief, a man whose employment it was and is to do his 1has- ter's dirtiest deeds and to see that the stains upon his masters character are carefully whitewashed over; he too was fully cognizant of those "delinquencies"
