THE removal of the county seat to Benson, Bisbee or Willcex is not a serious agitation at present and the PRosPEcToR is of the belief that 1t will not be. No election has yet been called and fl called will not be an nounced ull the latter part of July. This will give sufficient time to educate voters on the conditions existing in the county. There will be no trouble in the promoters of the scheme getting z a sufficient number Of signatures 10 warrant the supervisors in calling the election. There is no county in the territory but could hold an cleo ton for the purpose of voting on county seat removal. IL requires petition equal to but one fourth ol tha number of votes cast at the pre- visus election and any one who has observed the public pulse knows how prone every man is to sign anything 2 presented to him in the shape oi a petition. When the proper time comes the PRosPEcToR will present facts and figures that will be invin- cible arguments against removal, not because of sny personal feelings, Tor two-thirds of this papers support comes from the county outside of Tombstone, but for reasons that are the logical outcome of study of our conditions and which sll taxpayers and well wI.hers Of our county can no; help but perceive and affirm.
