No moKE FACTION rIenrs.

"Arizona's republicanism is awak- ening, federating and strengthen ing. Organization has, and wall bring it to its fullest strength and following will come victory. Fall in" has been the watchword, and right we'll it has been done in south nern Arizona.
 Organizer Christ, of the National Republican League, has returned from Washington. He tells that he goes to the northern part of the territory soon, where he will estab- fish league clubs. On his return representatives of the league clubs of the territory will elect two dele gates to the National Republican Convention.
 "While returning from Washing ton, Mir. Christ met prominent re- publicans at Denver. Their confer ence pertained entirely to Arizona politics. The conference portends tho greatest good to the republican party.
 That the party is through kick ing in the traces is shown by let- ter in Mir. Christ's possession. 1t is from one of the late factionists of northern Arizona but voices the present stand of the republican Darty throughout.
 He says something about falling out and falling in. Extracts fromit read:
 Il am glad that yod go back with the authority and intention to bring order out of the chaotic squabble that has distinguished Arizona re- publicans. believe in a thorough club organization. This only can be done. And l believe further that it is the duty of every republi- can in the territory to lend a hand in the work, regardless of petty jealousics and personal grievances.
 You have started on the right road, and one which the most viru- lent of the .kickers' can travel with grace to themselves and benefit to the party. Fall in should, and hope win, be the order of the day. As for myself any assistance can render will be freely given
 The above. taken from the Tue son Citizen, will all be cheerful read ing to members of the republican party in this territory, with the ex- ception of one single paragraph. which reads: sOn his return, rep resentatives of the league clubs of the territory will elect two dele gates to the national republican | convention" We cannot but think that this announcement is made either withopt authority or without thought of evhat the results would be, as such thing would prove sui cidal in the extreme to the party and wonld more than doubly offset any benefits derived from organiza- ton of clubs. w. C. Bashford, chairman of the territorial republi- can central committee, was inter viewed by the JoURNAL-MISER in re- gard to this proposition and said that he knew nothing of it. That as far as he was concerned, when the proper time came for action he would move in conjunction with the balance of the committee in calling a territorial convention in the regu- lar way of delegates selected by the various counties for the purpose of selecting delegates to the national convention. This is the only just way of doing this, as no matter how thorough and efficient the organiza- ton of clubs may be, there is bound to be many good, loyal and enthu- siastic republicans so remote from them that it would be impossible to either become members or to at tend their meetings. Such action would therefore result in disfran- chising hundreds of republicans and debar them from any voice in the selection of national delegates. Mir. Bashford thought, too, that there must be some mistake about there being any serious thoughts of elec- ting delegates in the manner refer red to above. He was gratiiied, however, as will all republicans be, to learn that Col. Christ intended to extend the organization of league clubs to northern Arizona.
