EDITOR CITIZEN: -
 Your manly editorial last night, con- demning Governor Wolhey for using his organ" the PheniX Republican, to vent his spleen against prominent republi- cans. was well timed.
 If the republican party of Arizona ever succeeds. it will achieve success by unity of action, which can only be se- cured through honorable conduct on the part of all the leading members of our party.
 Less than a fortnight ago the Presi dent, through his Private Secretary, ad- dressed letter of sternest rebuke- doubly severe by reason of the fact that it was diplomatic Governor Welfiey, condemning as false the charges which the Governor and his dependents had preferred against Hon. George Christ, and commanding the Governor to use his best efforts to secure harmony in the party. For some inscrutable reason this letter was given to the press-presum- ably to show the public that he (the Governor did not care a rap for the Presidents wishes, as is shown by the wanton violation of the letter referred to- in publishing the atrocious libel upon the political character of Charles R. Drake.
 The republicans Of Arizona owe q duty to the party and to themselves. It is to publicly condemn the misconduct of the Governor and his allies, whose political perf;dy will inevitably over throw one party in the Territory, if it is permitted to go on.
 The party, as a party, cares nothing about the personal quarreis of the Gov ernor with Christ, Wilson, Sam Hughes, Penney, Cameron, Drake, Brown, Nor ford, Christ, and hundreds of other prominent republicans; but when, in order to get even with his personal ene- mics, the Governor establishes 8 news paper with the ayowed purpose of de- stroying our time-hOnored party journals like the Citizen and Herald, and when he uses his said organ" to belle the re- publicans whom he cannot use, then it is matter of party concern and the duty of every good republican to con demn the outrage.
 If the Governor has personal diff culty with Cameron, why not settle it as gentlemen everywhere settle their per sonal grievances. Is the Governor so far inferior to Cameron that he needs ''an organ" to destroy the latter? And is Drake, the prince of political man. agers, to be driven out of our party also, simply because he cannot be made the suppliant tool of the Governor?
 The very first issue of "Wolfley's organ" published a nasty fling at Christ and Wilson, followed by an assault on Cameron, then on Drake; and the party may expect to see attempts made to drive other good republicans, who do not wear the Governors collar, out of the party.
 The writer of this letter hopes for the sake of political decency, that Royal 4. Johnson and Robert II. Paul will pub licly deny the statement that they are stockholders in the Governors paper, or in anywise responsible for it's existence or its sentiments. Hundreds of loyal republicans will await the answer of the U. s. Surveyor General and the U. 5. Marshal before believing that they are the Governors co-conspirators in this measly effort to disrupt the repuE- licgn party Of Arizona.
 HARMONY.
