DarktOwn Dude in the Wood
 Pile. Eastern Galoots.
 PRESCOTT, July Il.
 EDITOR HERALD: - There must be some kind of sn D ,niopian or Dark town dude in the wood pile when the auditor, ex-offioio member of the Board of Control and proprietor of the Gazette bitterly opposes the execution of the law pertaining to the equipment for practical use of that monument to j 1b- DeFy, the "R ,foFm School" at Flagstaff, [, which was handed down by the Pin Head Administration to the people of the Territory. But come to think about ib Architect McGinnis made B report that exposed the j0bbery of the Board of Control that Pin Head Hughes, My ron H. McOord and O. P. Lsitoh com stitused. Now this same c. P. Lsitoh, of attempted bank wreoking mem ory, turns and stabs the man that has honoPed him wibh the present position on the Board of Control that he holds. HIS paper, with malignant ingratitude and unparalled peFversity, would have the people believe that Governor Frank lin has entered inbo @ job to do some kind of job5eFy in the reconstruction of the Reform School building that is in tended as a relief for the overflow of un- fortunRtes at the Insane Asylum. The amount appropriated foz that purpose was made because the urgent necessity. in the interest of hum sni6y twas deemed pressing. Those who were in the As sembly Ohsm beg when Ds H. Hughes asked such legislation will remember that the bill passed wish she clear un- derstsnding that the Reform School would be Eemodelied as quickly es pos sIble. And in view ot that the Gazettc gang, with it's McOord proclivities and sympsthies will have hard time in con- viDoing the unbiased oitlzsn that the Governors acsion Is tainted in any man neg with a scintilla of corruption. These fellows will have more than B hard time to convince anyone of the fact that the Governor has not stood in the breach between 6 gang of oonspirators and the people of Ariz ons in the matter of she prison labor coutFscs and the payment of unlawful debts shat have been attempted to be foieted on the Territory. The Governor in doing what he hes done In taking the initiative to complete the Reform School building, which was left In such state of incompleteness ss to be un worthy of the name of 8 dove cote or 8 bats retreat, Is not only tracking out she law but is sgsin stepping into the breach between the old McCord- Hughes-Lsitoh gang of boodleFs and the people of Arizona, as 8 protector. such as every conscientious public oficIsl'is and should be. No doubt if Governor Franklin had appointed, in stead of McGinnis, that favored archi- teot of the Pin Head administration, Heinlein, Auditor Lsitch would not have objected.
 The Murphy and Washington syudi- cate organ, the Republican,, seems to be out of sorts because you ventueed kick in favor of the fermers of your valley who are discriminated against in railroad rates to She extens of shutting them out from market for theiE pro ducts. The Mineral Wealth says that "Phoenix is damned to it's boobtops with eastern geloots who are schooled in She way to make money, and not in way to place principle above wealth"
 It Is about time that this McCord gang be served with a notice that they must adopt methods more in keeping with common honesty.
