and second time rejected. A COM
mittee then waited on the Governor
and requested that he reconsider the
appointment as it was not believed
that it was in the best interest of the
Democratic party. Owing to the fact
however, that his action would have
much to do with the outcome of the
struggle for the Marshal's office and
knowing that if Mr.. Meade's compel
itors could bring to the notice of the
authorities at Washington The fact
that Mr.. Meade had been repudiated
by the Council and fotsaken by the
Governor at home, his chances for the
appointment would vanish, he shoul-
dered the responsibility. and in spite
of the protests of the Council, appoin-
ted Mr.. Meade Superintendent of the
prison. A few weeks after, Mr.. M.
was appointed to the Office of Marshal
and if to any one man Mr.. Meade is
indebted for his position it is to Gov.
Hughes. Such loyalty in politics is

POLITICAL HONESTY.

All who took any interest in the
appointments made by Gov. Hughes
when he assumed his duties as the
executive officer of the territory re-
member with what loyalty he persist
ed in appointing w. K. Meade, now
U. S. Marshall, Superintendent of the
territorial prison at Yuma. They
will also remember that much severe
criticism was heaped upon the gov.
ernor's head by those who were not
favorable to Mr.. Meade's appointment,
and the fact that only one member of
the Council voted to confirm the ap-
pointment, showed how strong was
the opposition to him. Certainly
Marshal Meade has had in Governor
Hughes loyal and constant friend
and supporter. The Star in its issue
of the 25th inst, in reply to an item
in the Oasis, tells some of the unwrit-
ten history Of Mr.. Meade's appoint
ment as Superintendent of the prison
and later as U. s. Marshal. It seems
that at the time Mr.. Meade w9s ap-
pointed Supt of the prison he was an
applicant for the Office of U. s. Mar
shall and desired the appointment as
Superintendent of the prison more as
an endorsement than anything else.
During the last days session of the

The North and South road is
coming this way at a rate of speed
almost equal to the schedule time
of some railroads.
Col. Ellsworth, who came down
from the north yesterday, said
that the track was laid to within
six miles of Wickenberg and that
the stage station would be moved
to the end of the track today, thus
cutting off sixteen more miles of
the stage route.
With the exception of stretch
of a mile and half immediately
this side of Wickenberg the grad
ing to the Hassayampa has been
completed. Two camps will move
upon that today and at the rate at
which the work is going 1T will be
finished by tomorrow.
The timbers for the bridge
across the Hassayampa have been
framed. so that the delay feared on
account of bridge constr uction will
not occur. Beside this mile and
q half OF rough grading has been
done this side of the river. Some
finishing touches are yet to be put
upon it and there are two or three
small bridges to be put up, but
practically what remains of the
grade is the stretch of thirty-two
miles between the Hassayampa and
the end of the grade beyond Peoria
There IS no more heavy work to
be done. The ground to be gone
over is level mesa which offers
absolutely no obstruction to the
most rapid progress. Track laying
is going on constantly at rate of
never less than a mile a day and
occasionally two miles are laid.
The contractors say that con-
nection will be made with Phoenix
by February l, and all who have
seen how rapidly the construction
is going on have an impression that
the contractors want to give them
selves. plenty of time and the peo-
pie of Phoenix a pleasant surprise.
That is, it seems to them that un-
less in the event of an unexpected
accident the road will be finished
sometime before that date.-Re-
