Grave Charges are Pending Against
Him in Washington.
The Whole Political History of Hughes
Has Been Investigated by
Special Agent.

Governor Hughes of Arizona is on
trial for his official life. The conduct of
his case at the interior department will
probably be the most interesting event
OF this Washington week. This is very
ugly story, in fact quite a splotch upon
the present administration, and one
which has been gathering in intensity
and bad odor so long that its concentra-
tion now and its full opening by execu-
tive authority will probably make avery
unwholesome story of government in the
far west.
Charges OF various kind have been
filed against the governor of Arizona
ever since his appointment. They be-
gan at once after he took the oath of Of
flee, and were so violent and so frequent
that the president and secretary of the
interior merely concluded them to be
only the outcome OF political disappoint-
ment. For the past six months, how.
ever, the charges have come so directly.
have been made so persistently, and in
such large numbers, that the admins
tration has been forced to take official
notice OF them. About month ago the
secretary of the interior dispatched his
most dependable secret agent to the ter
ritory in order that thorough investi.
CATION OF the case could be made.
This has been concluded and report
OF Special Agent Olives finding is now
in the hands OF the secretary. Mr.. Olive
himself will be principal witness in
the case, and he has been necessarily
called to Wisconsin, and pending his ar
rival in Washington the case has been
delayed.
Governor Hughes is evidently alarmed
at the situation. He has been bold
heretofore, and has laughed all of his
accusers away. This time, however, he
is evidently displeased with the turn ta-
ken by the Olive investigation and has
come to Washington to appear in his
own behalf before the secretary.
Special Agent Olive began work at the
beginning and sent back as the result of
his work an enormous bundle of charges
made and looked into. Mr.. Olive did

not, however, render any verdict in the
case, and it is presumed that he has re.
served this for his personal interview
with the secretary.
A most complete list of the various ac.
cusations made against the territorial
executive will probably be found in the
sworn charges made by the chairman OF
the territorial democratic committee,
This organization has ever since the last
general election been out after Hughes
with vengeance, and, determined to
secure his removal. They claim to be-
gin with, that their action results from
the governors open coalition with the
republicans in the last congressional
election, which resulted in the sending
OF N. o. Murphy as delegate to congress,
in place OF John G. Herndon, the demo-
cratic nominee. But in the charges
made and sworn to by these leading
democrats of the territory, the history of
the governor begins at a very early date.
1t seems that he was appointed as re-
publican by President Grant, to be at
torney general for the territory in 1874,
under Governor Stafford. He did not
long retain this Office, however, but was
soon engaged in controversy with the
governor, and was removed from the Of
flee and his commission revoked. There
seems some doubt as to the cause of his
removal, but Governor Hughes accusers
charge that he was removed by the gov
ernor on a charge of blackmail, wherein
he attempted to extort money from the
Lesinsky Bros, at that time owners of
the'Cllfton copper mines. The charge
is that this removal was made matter
OF public record in the territory, but
since Governor Hughes came into au-
thority, these records have been removed
from file or destroyed.
A letter written by the governor, how
ever, during the controversy to the Tue
son Citizen, which has been resurrected,
contains this charge in full. 1t was at
this time, and as result OF this contro-
versy that Hughes became a democrat.
The next charge made is that while run
ming democratic paper he turned it
over to mining people in Tombstone,
against the principles and position OF his
party, in the interest OF the repeal of the
laws placing tax on bullion, and, as a
result OF this work, openly received half
OF the $4,000 lobby fund raised by the
mine owners. He is next charged by
afiidavits from Bob Paul, republican,
with trying to extort money from the re-
publicans in return for the support of
