 The "Mr, Fair" who talks so giibbily, and with characteristic far we tern energy" of the semi harbarism, gamblers and rum sellers of Arizona, as reprinted elsewhere from the New York Times, is not an Arizonan and never was. He was not here ten days in his whole life, aud probably never will be, and yet it Is just this class of individuals who so knowingly prate on the morals of Arizona and blacken her fair name whenever they can find anyone gullible enough to listen to them. If he has an itching to extol the governor, We have. of course, no objections, but if he does it at the expense of the good people of thls territory, then we are decidedly opposed to this class of sixteen foot tunnel rot.-Citizen.
