SUPERVISORS.

The Board of Supervisors is about the most important factor Tn the economical conduct of county matters. It is of the utmost importance that the best ability at our command should be called to serve the people on this important Board. It is no place for speculative experiments. Men who have conducted large business affairs successfully wherein their own money and business reputation were at stake are the men to be elected Super vlsors. Such men are William c. Davis and George Pusch If Pima county has any men who have been eminently suc- cessful in business these are two of the most conspicuous successes, and in this hour of dull times, when economy in county affairs means so much to tax payers, we cannot conceive that the people of our county can better serve their property interests than in voting for men who will reduce expenses to a minimum and give the time required to SuCC665luA OL OOAHbg affairs.
 If there is one thing above another that our county requires it is the invest ment of outside capital in our midst, and to secure this money our rates of taxation must be reduced and the county expenses handled by careful and pains taking men. It is no use disguising these facts, if We look for outside help we must first help ourselves, and we cannot help ourselves better than by. electing Messrs. Davis and Pusch. Democratic property holders ought to be willing to cater their property interests to tLe ex- tent of voting for these men for their personal worth rather than to jeopardize financial interests for the sake of serv- ing some of their party office seekers, and the progress of Pima county can be fairly judged by the votes cast for PHsch and Davis.

FEB, WILLIAMS.

The following article published in the Mohsve Miner, of January 26. 1889 shows the high esteem in which Eb. Williams, the Republican candidate for District Attorney of this county was held by the people who knew him best:
 We saw today petition signed by a large number ofMohave county's promi- nent citizens; and intended to be pre- sented to the President elect, praying his excellency to appoint our fellow citi- zen, Ebenezer Williams, to a seat on the bench of the Federal Judiciary of this Territory.
 We most heartily indorse the prayer of this petition. and we do this with a full knowledge with a qualifications of the applicant, derived from long per- sonal acquaintance. While there are many excellent men and sound jurists in the Territory, there is not, in our opinion, any one whose claims or merits are more worthy of recognition than are these of our fellow townsm8n.
 He IS man of high social standing perfectly correct habits, irreproachable moral character, and sound legal at tainments.in a word man against whom nothing derogatory can be truly said He has filled the office of District At torney of this county,;with marked abil ity, and the petition to which We have referred bears the signatures of all the county officers who were associated witt hlm, and those of all the newly elected county officers, It affords us pleasure to thus endorse truly worthy man. anC We trust that may receive the appoint ment desired, as we feel assured tho high trusts of the position would be il perfectly safe hands, and that the law would be administered without fear favor or prejudice.

STATEHOOD

All citizens of Arizona, Republicans and Democrats alike, are in favor of the admission of Arizona as state, under an enabling act. There is not 8 public speaker of either party who values his reputation for veracity, who will deny this.
 The only contention is as to our admis- sion under the present constitution. Twenty-Five per cent of the tax payers of Pima county, including influential members of both political parties, have united in respectful and dignified pro- test against statehood under that instru- ment. In their protest, each and every one of them declare thelr ardent wish for statehood under an enabling act.
 Said protest pointed out to the senate

A SECOND ALAMO
The Brave Defense Made by a Few
 Temochicans.

i A second Alamo was fought in south ! western Chihuahua last Monday morn ing. The only material difference being that the men who went down before overwhelming numbers then, were of s swarthier hue than the brave defendants of the Texas Alamo. They fought for the same causes-life and hberty-snd the cry of "vivs la libertad," with which they met their death sprung from fear less hearts. Temochic, the scene of the conflict, is q small "dobe" village in the southwestern part of the State of Chi huahua.
 Some months past young girl whom the superstitious villagers thought to be a saint arose among them and preached to them charging that the chu- -ch was corrupt. A priest re; lied ayr 2 the girl was witch. From ,- Cd Ise Lne people rose against the hUIc'.
 These people have fir tie p st year been in bad favor with he government. The trouble resulting from h a tempt ed collection of exorbitant taxes aud ex- IOItIOHo " pcbty kOHCihu'OhO SOAoAos which brought them almost to the verge of starvation. They had refused to re- cogniZe the State tax collectors and or dered them out of the country.
 Troops were twice sent to quell the disturbance and though greatly out numbered the Temochicans defeated the soldiers in every epgae ement and had taken 45'prisoners among them officers, all of whom they held as hostages keep ing them for safety on top ef their church. Only 38 lighting men of the Temochicans were left on Monday morn ing after three days fighting with 1900 troops they were wiped from the face of the earth, only two badly wounded men being taken prisoners. The Temochi- cans were entrenched in their church port holes having been knocked in the walls, andfrom this point of vantage armed with Winchesters they killed 360 troops before the battle was ended. They knew that surrender meant execution by law and chose to die fighting for their liberty.
 The Temochicans were direct decend- ants of the Aztecs and were at one time very wealthy but had been made poor by heavy taxes imposed by the State.-El PasO Times.

Field for Cattlemen.

E. J. Roberts and Pete Johnson, who have been searching for cattle pasture on the desert, have returned. The Yuma Sentinel says that they went across the great valley via Algodones, Cooks Wells, Alamo Mucho, to Indian Wells, Sackett's Wells, thence down New River toward Salton Lake, and across and up Carter river to the Ago dones, and thence to Yuma. They were we'll pleased with what they saw, and corroborate the facts in relation to that section as stated by Carter, ConveIs SC and the Sentinel. They found one of the lakes on Carter river to be about ten miles long by 14 to 15 mile wide. They will begin to move their cattle as soon as possible down on the Carter river, unloading them at Flowing Wells on the 5. P. R. R. They have about 1000 head of cattle on th.s side of the Mexi- can line. For farming country they say it excells any section they have ever seen on the Pacific coast They confirm all the good things that have been said in regard to it.-Prospector.

STEVENS for Sheriff means one of the best administrations in the Sheriff's of fee that Pima county has ever had. Mr. Stevens is young and active and a man of fine business ability, who will surround himself with a thoroughly competent force of deputies, insuring effective work and clean office. Since MT. Stevens came to the Territory he has been closely identified with mining and commercial matters, having formed large acquaintance in his business connections, where his integrity and sterling qualities are highly appreciated and his business abilities recognized.

Ir has been the boasts of the Republi-

Ir has been the boasts of the Republi- can candidates that they were making a canvass on their own individual merits and not on the short comIngs of their opponents, and it was to be hoped that their opponents would extend a like
 courtesy to them. This in the main, has been done and the canvass has been gentlemanly and courteous, but word comes that the Democratic nominee for assessor is trying to belittle his oppo- nent with the Mexicanspeople by nois- ing it abroad that Gil the Republican candidate, has mo use for a Mexican" and such class of rot. Mir. GIl is him. self, Mexican by birth, and respects and honors his nativity and his people. In doing so however, he never forgets his American Citizenship, and as an American by choice he takes pride in the land of his adoption. In politics he is of course, Republican, a bright and active worker, to bis party and is de- serving of the support not only of the Americans but also of the Mexicans. In Tucson he will, to say the least, cast his full party vote.

TNe Funeral Services of Engineer
 Albert Hoffman.

Yesterday afternoon at ? o'clock the funeral O. toe late Albert Hoffman took place from the Undertaker's Parlors on Main street, between Congress and Pen ington. The remains of tne dead epgi- neer received brotherly tribute of re- spect paid to him, when the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers turned out to man in the community and the citizens of Tucson likewIse, also the Rail Road employers .to the extent of every man that could be spared from duty formed the procession that follow ed a brother to his last resting place and chased tear away from their cheeks in memory of deaths uncertain call. Within few brief minutes man in the flush and bloom of health had yielded up his life, his hand dashed from the throttle of his profession in rude and unforeseen shock, his flesh scalded and burned from his body and hs yielded up his life,g Ind to be free from the tortures of life so hazardous and a position from which he could not extri- cate himself until the suffocating steam had robbed him of his life. Most every vehicle was pressed into service yester- day afternoon to attend the funeral, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers paid true tribute of respect to their dead comrade. The funeral pro- cesslon then took up its line of march to the cemetry of the B. of l..

ZIMMERMAN and Lucas on the Re- publican ticket for constables are worthy men and will receive recognition on 1 Novembe- 8th.
 MARX is believing around the Terri tory that he is in favor of statehood first last and all the time. He will not deny the fact however, that when in Tucson he said he was pledged to beat state hood unless a democratic legislature was elected. Rats.
 HoN. W. c. DAVIS who was placed on the Republican ticket for Supervisor in place of Judge Vanderlip resigned, is one of the oldest and best known citi- zens of Tucson. No better selection for the important office of Supervisor could have been made in this county or any other county.
 PIMA county should place as guard in the Supervisors department the best men amongst her taxpayers. Is 1t not fair question to ask if the Republicans have not put up as good men as could possibly be desired for such a respons-. ible office, W. c. Davis, one of the best known amongst our citizens, and Geo. Pusch, leading cattleman.
 GENERAL EB. WILLIAMS, of Nogales, the Republican nominee for district at tCrney of Pima county, has for some un- known reason drawn the fire of the En terprise. While the Gazette hopes for the election of Frank Hereford, and be- lieves he will be elected, yet no fair minded man can say aught against MT. Williams, and we believe the article of this meddlesome.pHper will assist him m this campaign, as the public are lovers of fair play. General Williams, the Ga zette hopes for your defeat, but we depercate the abuse that is being heap ed upon you.-Gazette.
 This compliment to gallant old sol dier from Democratic paper, political ly opposed to Gen. Williams, speaks vol umes for the cid hero. Let him be elected by handsome majority.
 ONE of the hottest contests of this campaign will be that for the Treasure ship. The Republicans placed John V. Paul thoroughbred Republican, be- fore the people. having confidence that the voters would appreciate hIs person al worth. and fitness for the office. MT. Paul may very properly be said to be an Arlzonian from the soles of his shoes to the hair of his head, and he is a young man that Arizona may be proud to claim, As treasurer of this county he would have the entire confidence of the whole community, wherein he has lived so long. The business of the office would be conducted with dispatch and accuracy and every interest of the coun- ty carefully attended to, in all its de- tails. The Republicans should work energetically to elect MT. Paul, as the office is one of the most important in Pima county, and an office that the ERe publicans should fill.

THE continued successes of the Demo cratic party in Graham county before led to corruption, extravagance and incom- petence in the management of county affairs. These growing evils necessitat- ed the formation of the Peoples Party and through it the people Ihope to cor rect the growing abuse hesped upon them by the Democratic bosses and their henchmen.

THE importance of electing good men and suitable timber te represent the people of Arizona in the next legislature is question that means more than a mere outside expression of words or bantering of possessory ability as 1t Is dragged around by opponents. But it means at this time every thing that is of vital interest to Arizona. We want men there that know what the people wish and We want there the men or candi- dates who have the courage and ability to execute those wishes. The Repub- lican party has chosen their candidates strictly as to their ability and well known integrity. They have chosen from among the best that they could ob- tain, and they are representative citi- zens. That they will be elected rests with the voters; that they ought to, and Should be elected is what every good citizen owes to himself to see that it is done. No more important time in the history of Arizona. She is struggling from obscurlty to make herself heard in the advance guard of progress. Let us nave no regrets that We failed to put those on duty who are capable to serve our best interests and start the cycle of new era that will speak for itself in new blood, new energy. new enterprise, vim, vigor, push and statesmanship legislation that means for Arizona hopes realized, wise laws enacted, the wishes of the people complied with; the pagoda of fallacious and detractory blackmail lifted from the Territory and the motive fpower of a great and prosperous ad- vancement inaugurated. To the faith. full realization of this era vote for the candidates on the Republican ticket.

THAT JURY.

The proprietors of the Enterprise have been indicted for labelling Brewster Cameron. As all newspapers are liable to say too much they naturally sym pathize with one another when in trou- bic. The Enterprise, however, instead of biding the issue before the courts, forgets itself so far as to reflect on the good names of the grand jurors who found the indictment. Grand jurors are sworn to do their duty as they see 1t and this we believe was done by the grand jury who found the indictment. We do not aay that they did not err in the present instance, asa all men are liable to slip in that direction, but we do say that they did not err Intentionally. They were IS men on the jury whose names we give, and if they are not reputable and representative citizens of this county they are do not know where to find them. If they made a mistake it was not pur- loosely done. Men of their standing in the community are not giving to crook ing the hinges of the knee to anyone, nor sneeze when Brewster Cameron, nor any man or class of meD, take snuff. h reflecting on their character the Enter prise makes a mistake andsno good can come from such attempted censure
 The jurymen were, W. c. Davis, John Gardiner, G. J. Roskruge, John E. Magee, Thomas Driscoll, Thomas Will son, W. F. Scott. Douglas Snyder, Frank Oury, l.. W. Crane, Phil Schreiber, Fred G. Hughes, A. Olsen, Chas. F. Hoff, s. H. Drachman, Thomas Hughes F.C. Norton and Theo. G. Fitch.
