 Hon. O. D. NJ. Gaddis, of Mohave a county, passed through Prescott b yesterday on his way home to King man, from attendance on the 18th , Legislative Assembly. Mir. Gaddis r was one of the most active members |, in the lower house of the legisla- :, ture, and his voice and vote was ' always on the side of retrenchment and economy. There was not a sin q gle measure brought before the II House, asking for an appropriation q or tax levy, or affecting the interests u of taxpayers, either directly or %' indirectly, that he did not analyze thoroughly and discuss. If it failed F to pass the test of being a public P necessity, it was opposed by him. n Mir. Gaddis stood firm from the D opening to tue closing of the session Ii in favor of all measures pertaining to Mort hern Arizona. but. while n, doing so, he never for a moment | o- overlooked the best interests of the ,l entire territory. The voters of ., MOhaVe made no mistake in electing n Mir. Gaddis, and if they appreciate sr true worth in a legislator, they will send him to the territorial council two years from now. ,
