Arizona weekly citizen., 1890-06-14

MEssRs. CHURCHILL AND WoLFLEY, through their man Zeigenfuss, have openly boasted and announced ID this city, that they propose to do" the Her aid, that is, they propose to ruin one oi the oldest ard hardest working news papers in this territory; they propose tc blot out of existence paper that for more than twelve years has stood by the people of the territroy, and of this valley and city in particular, in every measure that helped to develop the prosperity of the city, the valley, or the territory. They propose and boast that they will destroy a legitimate business of this community, a widely knswn and honored institution, and why? Because the Herald has re- fused to insult its readers by loading its columns down daily with lot Of then egotistical rot, or personal abuse of prominent men whom they fear. The Herald gave both of these gentlemen a respectful, honorable support so long as they did not undertake to abuse its col umns or bulldoze it in their personal services; at that point it stopped. Their man Ziegenfuss, with boastful sheer, an nounced about Phenix their purpose to ''do'' the Herald, sentiment for which these gentlemen are responsible and which is only reflected from their tool Ziegenfuss. We do net know how far they may succeed in their purpose, but We have faith in the people of our own city, valley and territory to believe that the straightforward and honorable course the Herald has at all times en deayored to pursue, both in politics and the development of the country, is ap preciated.-Herald.
 Inasmuch as the Republican has strer uously denied the foregoing it is quite evident the governor is not up to the doings of his chief of staff At the time editor Ziegenfuss was here be IS reported to have said that if it was necessary tC squelch the CITIZEN "my company will establish another paper here" He glibly dilated upon the ability of his company to do this thing and intimated that this scheme but waited his approval before putting into effect. The question that naturally floats to the surface is, of whom does My Company consist! The answer is Lewis Wolfey, Governor Royal A. Johnson, Surveyor General Robt. H. Paul, U. s. Marshal; Thomas Hughes, Territorial Auditor, and John A. Black, Commissioner of Immigration
 This is the Tucson contingent Of "My Company" that band together under the leadership and at the bidding of his Ex- cellshcy, the governor, to down the CIT- HEN and the Herald, and dominate the politics of the Territory through the personal organ of their boss. There is not one among them that the CITIZEN has not materially assisted in placing in the responsible positions they now occupy. Notably is this 50 in the case of Governor Wolfiey, Royal 4. Johnsen and Robert H. Paul, From al- most the day of their advent into the territory the CITIZEN, as is we'll known, has chanpioned thelr cause and defended them against all corners, and it is rewarded with a woifish COulOAuc TUT US ucStTuCIlOu. w 6 modestly rise to remark right here, that it cannot be done. For more than twenty years the CITIZEN has been a welcome visitor in the homes of Ari- zsnans and so it will continue. Its every issue has been Republican, and its every issue will be devoted to the furtherance of that faith. The history of the CITI- zEN IS the history of the Territory; every pulse beat of Arizona's prosperity has been felt through its columns, and every heart throb of her people likewise found a responsive chord in its pages. When established nearly twenty one years ago, the outlook was less promising than it now is, but the CITIZEN, ini her saluta- tory announced that she had come to stay and nothing has since transpired to change that fixed determination.
