A Popular Appointment.

| No appointment made in this s1r | any other territory has elicited s,sph 1 favorable comment as the appoint. ment of Hon. N. o. Murphy as teg-
 ernor. The following are few of
 the many notices which have ap>'
 peared:
 ''Nathan O. Murphy has been ap-- | pointed governor of Arizona to stsc.'
 eeed Governor Irwin. This IS the.
 best possible appointment that could
 have been made. Governor Murrhy
 has been a citizen of Arizona fer
 years He knows 1t and it's history from the beginning. He is not onIF.
 a fine executive, but man of tba
 noblest qualities. He has long been
 secretary of the territory. When Governor Irwin was appointed, Gey-
 ernor Murphy himself expected i-sssiits
 desired it and had some disappon nt~
 ment when Governor Irwin was sp,-. pointed instead. Tfere then wa a
 test of \. c. Murphy'= fsaf5o s.sf -=7,,ss--.a.ljties. He was secretary of stase:
 He kher- the territory and it's affairs. The new goT--~rcr did 4icss. coming there from another staTi., arr-----1s5s5. . ss55.. had been a small and nstrcw: xnSEa. :: Mr. Murphy would have ssIlked in his tent, attended to hisOHn IEapaTt- ment and quietly done his best t0 ,. make the new governors adminis :. tration unsatisfactory to the people of Arizona and failure. Instead, MT. Murphy received Governor Irwin in the most cordial and great hearted way, put himself and his . knowledge of territorial affairs at | the freest and fullest service of tho new executive, and showed how strong and admirable his own. quail. ities are iu the spirit ID which he Te- ceiyed governor from another state. : Hts knowledge of Arizona IS so great, s he IS already so trained and ex. perienced n the conduct of its ter affairs that he will make that people an ideal governor. .'- Keokuk lIowal Gate City.
 Under the head of sticking t0 : principle the New York Pres, sdi~ says: President Harrisoa. in appointing Nathan Q. Murphy, of Arizona, to be governor of that ter ,. ritory, proves himself infelligentIv oval to the p7n ciples and the pcf;@v < of the party that elected him. It IS } doctrine of republicanism that n appointments to office in sha ,. preference shall be gizen :. % the actual citizens thereof. and / he selection of Governor Murphy 'f Arizona, IS merely an instance ol President Harrison's uniform com. ,liance with the rule.'" s,<.
 Hon. John N. Irwin last week sent n his resignation as governor of Arizona, and the president almss>t s sent in the name Of N, ~'- ). Murphy to be his successor. Ttks ction of President Harrison is nt nswer to the almost unanimous rish of the people of Arizona ire pective of party. Governor Murphy as been acting governor most of he time since the resignation of 7 ioyernor Woifley and has been fortunate in avoiding fae onal differences which have dis ressed previous administrations. IIs tact, good nature and sound ,nse seem to be unbounded, and iB idition he is an old resident of the 'rritory and we'll acquainted with needs. His messages and reports we been models in their way. The : tiring governor carries with hirl Ie best wishes of Arizona, among hose people he has been personally ,pular during his short residence. oy. Irwin would have been valua- e acquisition, as he is wealthy and thoroughly western man."-Yuma
