Tombstone epitaph., 1894-10-14

THE legislative timber placed in the field by the republicans is the weakest one ever accorded place on a ticket in Cochise county, The idea of try ing 10 elect newspaper man to office is so absurd that it seems as though the convention were playing into MT. Packaro's hand. An editor makes hundreds of enemies during the course of year ~ho are only too glad of an opportunity to get even at the ballot box. The Legislative ticket could not be weaker. While some of the names are good ones they are totally useless in @ campaign. Messrs. Hams, Fiege and Arnold will be overwhelmingly elected.

THE treatment of Mir Pugh

THE treatment of MT. Pugh last night by the chairman of the ratifi- cation meeting was uncalled for. Hsd Tombstone man been Tn the chair. his reception would have Leen different. With defeat staring him in the face, the Willcrx candidate for the council had enough to bear with out the open antagonism oi his party. The remark made by Placs that there were but two newspapers in the coun- ty wac uncalled for. MT. Pugh's paper is entitled to consideration even if it does not come up to the standard as a news gatherer. Neither the PRos- RECTOR nor the Oasis felt compli- mented at this reference to their merit. coming from tAs source that did.

THE assertion made that Francis J, Heney has been negligent in not bringing Oakes Murphy to justice if he is guilty of emhezzlement as he charges, is the rankest nonsense. The sttorpey-general of the territory, as such, has no right to enter e grand jury room. So plain is this fact to the most ordinary mind that no one who has kept track of territorial affairs ever questioned it. It was less than e year ago that Judge Rouse at Soi omonville threw out two indictments found by q grand jury there. on the ground that the Attorney-genersl of the territory had been in the grand jury room during the examination Of witnesses. Since this decision, the at,orney-genersl has not been allowesi access to the grand jury rooms of any
 ounty in the territory, and can not procure indictments of offenders.

There could be no more appropriate illustration of the feeling of the re- publican party toward the foreign born element than an incident which happened today on the street.
 Wm. Shilliam, had been at outs with A. L. Grow, chairman of the republican central committee and its official spokesman. He was sp- preached today by several peace makers who desired a reconciliation, and Mir. ShilIiam agreed to go to MT. Grow and offer the olive branch of peace.
 He found him, and extending his hand to the republican leader, said : "Mr. Grow, we have been enemies, let us be friends" Placing his thumbs in his vest arm holes and striking an attitude, he said: "I don't make up with foreigners, When you be- come an American born citizen I will talk with you."
 Mir. Shillism turned away, wonder. ing why he had been voting the republican ticket for the pact ten yeara.
