 Under the above head the Citizen Q Tucson, one of the most sterling ant influential Republican papers in thu
 southwest, in its issue of the 9th inst publishes the following significant ant
 pointed communication
 EDITOR CITIZEN Your manly edi
 torial last night, condemning Governor
 Woliey for using his "organ," the Phenix Republican, to vent his spleer against prominent Republicans, wa: well timed.
 If the Republican party of Arizona ever succeeds, it will achieve success | by unity of action, which can only be secured through honorable conduct on the part of all the leading members oi our party.
 Less than fortnight ago the Presi- dent, through his Private Secretary addressed letter Of sternest rebuke- l dOubly severe by reason of the fact that it was diplomatic-to Governor WolAey, condemning as false the l charges which lhe Governor and his dependents had preferred against Hon. l George Christ, and commanding the l Governor to use his best efforts to se- cure harmony in the party. For some inscrutable reason this letter was given to the press-presumably 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 d duty to the party and to themselves. IL Is to publicly condemn the miscon- duct of the Governor and his allies, whose political perfidy will inevitably overthrow the party in the Territory, ii 1t Is permitted to go on.
 The party, as party, cares nothing about the personal quarrels of the Governor with Christy, Wilson, Sam Hughes, Penney, Cameron, Drake, Brown, Morford, Christ, and hundreds of other prominent Republicans; but when, in order to get even with his personal enemies, the Governor estab- fishes a newspaper with the avowed purpose of destroying our timo-honor- ed party journals like the Citizen and Herald, and when he uses his said 'organ" to belle the Republicans whom he cannot use, then it Is a matter of party concern and the duty of every good Republican to condemn the out rage.
 If the Governor has a personal diff ficulty with Cameron, why not settle 1t as gentlemen everywhere settle their personal 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 managers, 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 "Wolfey's organ" published q nasty fling at Christ and Wilson, followed by an as- sault on Cameron, then on Drake; and the party may expect to see at tempts made to drive other good Re publicans, who do not wear the Gov ernOr's collar, cut of the party.
 The writer of this letter hopes for the sake of political decency, that Royal A. Johnson and Robert H. Paul will publicly deny the statement that they are stockholders in the Governors paper, or ill anywise responsible for it's existence or its sentiments. Hun dreds of loyal Republicans will await the answer of the U. $. Surveyor Gen eral and the U. $. Marshal before be- lieving that they are the Governors co-conspirators in this measly effort to disrupt the Republican party of Arizona. HARMONY.
 The opinion of the Attorney Gen eral yesterday, if it be followed by the land department, is the death blow to all development in Arizona It is to the effect that under the Powell law of last Congress all lands in the arid regions are withdrawn from entry. This was never intended by Congress, and the construction given will be a q surprise. It was the intention of its fram CTS, as Powell stated when here last summer. 1t was q most infamous
