Arizona republican., 1890-11-02


 the result
 ''And further say that while the ballot boxes for the city of Newark were in tho city hall two or three days after said election, and after 1t was known by what majority the said Zulick was defeated, and before the County Board of CaAvassers had assembled, c. Meyer 2uliek made this proposition to me;
 That as l was an Alderman and member of the Committee'on Public Buildings, and had access to all parts of she city hall that should open the various ballot boxes and alter enough tickets to give him, Zulick, majority. The alteration was to be made, as he suggested, by removing from his name the paster Of MT Joseph l., Mum, the Republican candidate who was elected.
 "Zulick further said to me that if was un- able to remove sufficient number of pastors, then he suggested thas erase MT. Munns name from the Republican ticket and make up enough to give him, Zulick small majority. was astounded on hearing such an infamous proposition, and refused instantly to entertain 1t for moment and so informed 2ulick on the spot; but even after had declined to entertain any such proposltion Zulick again requested me to think the matter over.
 q further say that know Zulick thoroughly and that this proposition was not made Tn jest by him, but he was serious and in earnest about it.
 q further say that I was so indignant and disgusted with the conduct of Zuliek that immediately communicated the fact of his making this proposition to me to personal friend and prominent and hnhuential Demo crat in this city, Mir. James F. Connolly. l mention this to corrobOrate my statement that said Zulick did make such proposition to me. also communicated the fact to two other gen lg f f,,f ,f0 nft
 "After Zulick had made this proposition as have detailed, he said to me that in case he succeeded in carrying out this scheme no harm should come to me.
 q further say thnt Zulicks intention in going I to Arizona was merely to give color to the sug- | gesuon that he was a resident of the Territory, | so that he might in form if not in substance l comply with the rule that Territorial Governors must be bona fde residents Of the Territory of which they are appointed, and that in point of fact zllick had, ut the time of his appointment, no legal residence in Arizona, and that his family still reside in the State of New Jersey. | GEO s. SMITH,

 The following is from Governor Zulick's message to the Fourteenth Leg iislature of Arizona:
 "The loose system of registration, the law admitting registered electors to vote in any part of the county, and the care less manner of preserving the ballots after election, seems favorable to the perpetration of election frauds. The circulation of bogus tickets and the use of pastors oftentimes serves to im- pose upon the too-confiding voter man who is not his choice"
 l He evidently spoke from experience. | CHAPTER III.
 Soon after his appointment the new Governor started upon triumphal journey to the capital of Arizona. He stopped and made speeches in some ot the principal towns, and discoursed elo- quently upon his future course and policy. He talked with much method, but murdered the truth surprisingly. He declared that when he learned of his appointment "he Vas eourting tkt unW,Iliag embraces of Morpheus upon the bleak hills Of COckise ,0ith hes Winchester riae beside him GS his bride, and oRly tht starry canopy of hsauen aboUe hiia." Gle neglected to state that he was skulking from his angry creditors in Tombstone, which place he found it convenient tc leave after sundown.) His manner was grandiloquent and his language lofty
 He knocked out the air with violent gestures, and told in the inimical style of New Jersey ward politician (which to the unsophisticated Westerners ap. peared like eloquence) how unpartisan he would be; that while his predilec- tions were all Democratic, he proposed to govern, not for any particular party or organization, but for all the people oi the Territory regardless of party affilia. tions. The high-sounding and empty promises proved as devoid of truth as the subsequent actions of the speaker demonstrated nearly all of his state. ] ments to be.
 The atmosphere of greatness in which this accident" immediately imagined himself, intoxicated him beyond all precedent. He conceived that he had become immaculate, and that his being was politically deiied. The effect o this high altitude CD upon Ambassador | Sedgwick in Mexico could not compare ) with the exuberance of this mans con. ceit. His egotism burst through al bounds of propriety', and he ventilated l it upon every possible occasion, to tht disgust of the public. His conservative non-partisanship disappeared like ar April frost before the monday sun. Ht , declared himself political dictator, anc looked down with lofty condescensior from his pinnacle of self-created great ness CD upon the astonished leaders o , the Democracy in Arizona. He sought with hungry impatience, every oppor tunity to force himself upon the notice of the public, and he pursued witt restless activity any avenue which his imagination suggested might lead hin to notoriety, regardless of truth, honor or the peoples interests. He examined with feyerish anxiety the record of hi: predecessor and the books of his office for some weak spot which he could attack. He attempted, by odious com parisons, to assai! those who preceded him, thinking to gain reflected prom hence thereby, and the sickeninq dis. play self impregnated with stench hit every conspicuous official act.
