Der of said committee and signed the

 Further that he is the organizer of
 a society or organization which holds | it's meetings in secret places and un-
 der cloud Of night and endea'0rs to
 concoct schemes to defeat the repub-
 lican ticket, such actions as these be- long only to placemen and time servers
 and not to man desirous of the suc-
 cess of his party. They are the actions
 of a man whose sole idea is rule or
 ruin. and who for personal gain be-
 trays his party.
 The foregoing gives the editor the desired opportunity toreply to his de-
 tractors, who have been secretly lying against him for many months, but
 have only now come out into the open.
 In this reply he will pay but little at tention to the young gentlemen whose names are appended to the above full imitation. They are couple of harm less, good natured young men, with slight discrimination and no exper- fence, easily constituting them as fit instruments for almost any dirty work in the hands of those so base as to flat ter them to use them. There is no req son in the world why either of them should antagonize the editor of TIE OASIS. Nor is there reason why the editor should devote much attention to them. They are game entirely too small for his gun, and that they have been put forward to stand the brunt Of the fight shows the cowardice of the men manipulating them. But 1t is the men behind them at whom this article is directed.
 One of the gentlemen to whom this pointed allusion is made is Judge Eb Williams, late candidate for probate judge of Pima county on the A. P. A. ticket. Judge Williams is gentle man to whom THE OASIS is under some obligation, which would have long ago been gladly and willingly dis charged had that gentleman been half way decent. But, unfortunately, Judge Williams is of a cast of mind which construes obligation to mean ownership, and because the editor of THE OASIS would not jump every time Judge Williams pulled the string, he has been consistently and unremit-  tingly pursued by that gentleman. His friendship for the editor of TIE OASIS changed to hostility on the day in the spring of 1895 when c. A. Avery went into the town council, when on that day he took the editor to task for signing MT. Avery's petition. On the following day, in the presence of MT. Geo. Christ, Sr., he again brought the 1 editor to book for the same offence. Mir. Christ attempted to defend the offender. But Judge Williams wouldn't have it that way. ''l am against MT. Avery,s said he, 'and l am against every man who is for him. And ever since Judge Williams has been against TIE OASIS man, when he might just as well have. had his support and THE OASIS editor has never inaugurated an opposition to Judge Williams; on the other hand when Judge Williams has asked the support of friends of the editor it has always been ready to i5is 5is s given sees:s; bat se he ead never consent to any party recogni- tion for the editor. This disposition was first manifested last spring when the primary election then held was approaching. At that time Judge Williams went to friends of the editor and made 8 pleasant talk for party harmony. Said he: Let us have no [ squabble in the party. Let us all unite ,,Oon a sinplc ticket at the nrimnrv
