 The foregoing is an exact copy of 8
 telegram sent to President Nick nley yesterday and commented on by the
 Republican this morning. Whether the
 President "deigna to answer" the dis pstch OF not cuts little or no figure further than to ascertain from him whether it is his intention, respective of every objection that may be advsr : ed, to force upon the people of the Ter rikory of Arizona a man for GoverL OF who is not wanted. to say She lesss, by the masses of the people.
 The Republican further states in it's editorial of this date, that "the time has come for all fsir minded Repu ublicsns to make their voices heard in Washing ton" We'll said Brother Randolph. 3 really the only sound political sem tence that has appeared in your paper since you concluded to succeed MT. Wolf1ey ss the moulder of pu blic opin- ion in Arizona for coin. Now let us discuss the telegram which heads this article. Gan any fair minded citizen eBy ib is out of place. To simply in quiFes of the President whether he would recognize convention oe rep Eesensetive Republicans where action of said convention is in the interest of she future welfare of Republicans in the Territory. The President is Re | publican-by Republican votes and recognition he has been raised to the position of honor and trust that he now occupies. Can is be said thst he is greater than the power that honored | him? That disreg gsrding the wishes of people, he csn foiet upon them 8 poii ticisn, whose only ot iscs in seeking the | office is to satisfy his desire for office | and recuperste lost political fortune and lost, how and by what means the pu blicS have learned with surprise? | Are we to have repelion of Mir. Mo Cords Wisconsin methods in Arizona? | h all probilities such would be the | case should tue Senate onfrm his sp- pointment. Mir McCord's re cord on the 1 Board of Control Is clearly indicative of his purposes and that record alone | should. bar his advance to the Cffice of | chief executive of the Territory.
 The Republican by it's article in this mornings issue has already shown its hand, and now stands beyond the psleof the Republican party in Arizona and Is no longer entitled to recoguI- tionin is councils. By it's action in publishing the editorial headed "Their Last Card'' it takes issue against the party it is supposed to represent. The telegram referred to WAS not the creation of disgruntled politicians, but Is the act of the Eexecutive Committee of the Repu bliosn party Of Arizona and deserves recognition from all Republi- cans who are interested in the future welfare of this Territory. If, es Mr. 1 McCoFd is reported to have told the President, "Ninsty-nine out of every one hundred Republicans in Arizona" are for him, why should he and hIs friends, and especially She Republican, be afraid of such a convention? If Mo Cords premises be well taken that con ven tion will urgs his coufrmatlom. 1T not they will suggest the name of some man who at least has the repus setion Of being the proper person for that high dlsce.
 THE St. Louis platform, if it had enc plank more prominent than another, declared for home ruia in the Territor- ies in that plank. The Republicans of Arizona now propose to test the sim o gritty of that declaration and eesump- sion by asking the President to name the meo upon whom they csn agree for
