DrlDL dQu k6CuT6u WOIh liOiu bhO A0to office for week after which time it was evidently decided that the paper could run without hlm. Since then MT. Bodine has lived largely on his religious pretensionS, vii i:out attracting much attention until this case with the nymph.
 The case came up before Justice Meyer this morning, the defendent be- ing present to argue his !case, and the injured female to present her side of the question. After hearing the evidence his honor dismissed the case on recelv ing penalty of g..
 POLITICAL.
 Geo. F. Meek, O. the Tombstone Epitaph is candidate for the assembly from Cochise. Mir. Meek is pouring hot shot into the democratic ranks and the Epitaph is doing heroic work for the cause lie deserves election by rous- ing majority.

 The Arizona Champion says: It Is a hard matter for the democrats to ge around the fact that Cleveland, the first democratic president in twenty four years sent up s bowling gold message to congress and was bitter opponent to silver.
 Cash Perrin and Howard Film will will make good constables. Cash is new holding that position with credit to himself and the county.

 Hon. W. F. Nichols, of Cochise, is one of the strongest men on the ticket in the territory, and his name is credit to the ticket. As councilman at large for the Southern district his chances are favorable to a large majority. He is careful of his associates and we believe if the territory had sufficiently honorsd him to entrust funds to his care, it would not require law suit to get them again. Mir Nichols should lead his ticket.
 WHEN the Hon. Marcus A. Smith was putting in his valuable @ time defend ing the Wham robbers and was being paid by the government to defend it, he little thought how soon his day of reckoning would come. When Congress had been in session fifteen days it still found Arizons's representive in Tucson justifying by his defense of the culpits, one of the mos. audscIous robberies ever perpetrated oH the government. This very act of Congressman Smith did more to blacken the reputation of Arizona among the people of tho peace loving states than the robbery itself. The government robbed by highway men in Arizona and the Congressman from that territory neglecting his dnty in Washington in order to divide spells with the robbers by conducting their defence. No wonder Arizona h as so unsavory reputation when its own Congressman aids largely in bringing it and its people into disrepute. The "wild and woolly west" can show no parallel to such case. With such re- cord to stare our people in the face they will hardly extend to him their suffrage. Unless we greatly miss our reckoning Marcus will have many explanations to make on this dark stain on Arizona's name in which he has 80 largely aided in making.
 MT. Cheyney s canvass is producing many good effects judging from the tone of correspondents, and parties in from dis tricts where has visited. It can be de- pended upon that MT. Cheyney is a man who gains Upon acquaintance. He is a man who strikes you with the belief that he will do all he says. Without the blast of trumphets and the sound ing of paid fugelmen. Geo. W. Chsyney is daily gaining votes which have hith- erto gone to Mark Smith, under repre- presentations which have not been full filled.

 Ben Honey was nominated for the position of treasurer by the republicans becauses he was prsemsntly the man for the place. This fact was re- cognized before the convention. It was so thoroughly recognized in the conven- tion and there was no thought of con sidering any other name in that conven- tion and no one would have had the territory to have allowed the use of his name. Now that the canvass is in the same feeling prevadss everywhere. The people want to choose man not for his politics alone, but for his fitness. When the books of Cochise county were left in chaotic state Ben Heney was sent for to strightsn them out. We do not ex- agerate when we say that there is no more competent accountant and more thoroughly reliable man in the territory than the popular candidate for treasure Ben Honey.
