The Arizona sentinel., 1895-04-06

four hours of the session the desperate on. slaught that was made to despoil our county of the prison. It was an organized fight on the part of the Yavapai delegation and they stood well entrenched with all that makes Q success in politics, viz, money first friends next and money last.
 Then it wks that Yuma came to the front, for the great battle was fought in the House, and the winning oft, was the cool deliberate rulings of the Speaker who refused to be bulldozed, brow beaten or intimidated, by q reckless, insolent and almost superior force.
 It was rudely intinated by the editor oi the Journal Miner, who was disgruntled member of the last legislature, that should the Speaker ever visit his old Prescott home, that it would be decidedly sultry, etc., etc
 We have recently seen letter from 8 prominent citizen of Prescott, and an 'old timer" too. The letter was of date 24th ult. and was written after the arrival of the Yavapai delegation from the capital
 The writer says: "l wish Carpenter could have been with us last night as the Dude Hose Company had their tenth Anni- versary Ball, and gave grand blow out at Burk's Hotel. Kind words only were oo11- nected with Carpenters name and nfany re. grets were expressed that he was not present. Of course there are few sore heads, those that went to Phoenix, to bring up the prison feel little put out, not so much on account of Carpenter, not letting them, but on ac- count of their inability to bring it with them, and having to return with their tails down. Carpenter did we'll, and every fair minded man in this community gives him credit for it, although they had their hearts set on having the prison here, but Carpenter has their respect for fighting the way he did for his own county. From what I have read in the different papers he may well be proud of his record, and when the excitement of the last nights meeting has died away, the chances are they will acknowledge Car penter's ability, as one of the best Speakers that the Territory has ever had. had 2 talk with Hinton of Maricopa, on the sub ject and although he fought hard for removal he spoke very highly about Carpenters &C., tions during the entire session. Say to Harry that his old friends here in Prescott are all sorry he did not come up and pay them visit. He would have have had a royal welcome and grand old time."
 This letter photographers the kind of a that Speaker Carpenter would have received had he paid Prescott a visit.
 Even at the last night of the session, and the last business sought to be transacted by the House, was the adoption of resolution Speaker Carpenter for the fair and impartial manner he had presided over the deliberations of the House during its session and the fair rulings of the chair, to which there was not dissenting voice, it having ing passed unanimously.
 We can only close this article by saying that No man in his party stands higher than Speaker Carpenter and we predict for him ! brilliant future in politics should he con- ,inue in It,
 Yuma County knows that he is tried, trusted and true and anything he wishes aereafter in her gift is his if he desires to 'nly to speak for it. We are proud of him IS citizen, proud of him as our represen. 'ative and proud of the great record he has made as Speaker of the Eighteenth Leg slative Assembly.
