 The committee ou credentials of
 the national republican convention
 adopted the report of the national
 committee so Tar as the admission
 of AriEonA's delegates Is concerned.
 The telegraph does not Say how the
 siX seats ara occupied, but We can
 readily imagine the situation. Akers
 and StoddaFd arc no doubt occupy
 ing one seat In harmonious bliss;
 McCord and Christy. two heavy
 weights of the opposing delegations,
 are holding down another, while
 ZabrisAie and Ford are paired in q
 third. with Wright and Dunlap
 Darlington and Cameron, Cleveland
 and NNhoney, each sharing A half seat each.
 The new democratic paper of
 Tucson delivers itself of the follow ing sage remark: The republican party will lose a large number oi votes this year owing to the treat ment of the colored delegates at St-
 Louis in refusing them accommoda. tions at the leading hotels" The new editor of the new democratic paper must be very new indeed if he does not know that the republi- can party was not responsible for the action of the democratic hotel keepers in St. Louis, and that the party leaders aot only protested against the action but provided ac- l commodatlons for the colorei dele gates. This httle episode on the part of a small democratic click will make votes for the republican party instead of lose them.
 The following from the Phenix Herald has the true ring toIt: The Herald IS for Mckinley and the re- publican principles of reciprocity, regardless of whatever doctrines the party may have esPoused. It does not belong 10 that class of partisans whe. when they cannot dictate the party policy, are willing to abandon its great and glorious principles that have ied the nation through war and peace and magnificent prosperity for nearly half a century. What that party has done, 1t can do agaIn through the same sources, a protective tariG and a wise policy of reciprocity, and with these car dinal principles as its guide, 1t mat ters very little what subordinate ideas il may eSpouse, or whether the mass Of republicans accept or agree on those subordinate ideas or not"
 Ex-Cousul General Willioms has ! arrived in New York from Havana, and tells an entirely different story . from the telegrams sent to this | country iu regard to the condition ! of affairs in that country. NIT. Will ! jams says that "Hsvara is quiet and l there is DO more war in sight there than there Is in New York City. Business is good, just as it has been all along. Stories about hard times in Havana are made out of whole cloth, and reports about scarcity of foSd are riddiculous. l did not hear the sound ol a gun once while in Havana. Weyler Is a gentleman, most charming and courteous in every way. go, along with him delightfully."-. Nothing could have been more cordial than our rels- tions- SpAuiards iu Cuba are in no way prejudiced against the United States, and never have been. Their aim is to please American citizens Havana papers publish impartial l accounts of what is happening in Cuba. and their reports are trust worthy" If MT. Williams tells the truth. there must be a whole lot of able bodied liars on that war cursed island sending out false reports.
 Governor Franklin seems to be running the executive office on purely personal lines, regardless of the interests ot the public or the terntory. He recently issued an edict of removal against NJ II. Nc Cord, a member of the board of control and when asked for an ex planation of his actions admitted that there was no fault found with the incumbent but that the removal was made simply to make place for another. Since then he has is- sued another manifesto removing P. J. Cole as territorial treasurer. The removal of the citizen member of the board of control, for purely personal reasons, involved no par ticnlar expense to the territory, further than the expense involved in sn attempt to enforce his order in { the courts. That of the removal of : the treasurer however is fraught with more serious consequences. The loan commission Is just on :he eve of disposIng of lot of terri , iOriAl bonds. Negotiations for the bonds were about completed and ihs sale about consummated. The , ramoval pf Traasurar
