Governor Murphy.

na became vacant through the appoint ment of Governor McCord as colonel of
 the Arizona. New Mexico and Oklaho- ma regiment of volunteers, President
 Mckinley appointed to that important
 position the Hon. N. Oakes Murphy.
 A more fit appointment could not haze
 been made and none that would have
 given greater satisfaction in the terri tory.
 N. O. Murphy is not new or untried man. He is d pioneer in Arizona, a man who has grown to manhood in the territory, who has labored for it's good for many years. at his own cost and without wearying. In season and out of season, in diversity and in prosperi- ty. through good and through evil re- port, he has ever stood up for Arizona. The first man to Washington when danger threatened, when trickery was in the air and when the prosperity of the territory was threatened and the last to leave, Mir. Murphy has rendered service for Arizona that no man can compute.
 He has served the territory as gov ernor before and once as delegate to congress, and this new honor is there fore not awarded in the way of an ex- pertinent.
 The writer has the honor and the 1 pleasure Jf . an intimate acquaintance |. with Governor Murphy. He has learned to admire and appreciate his ! broad-gauge. progressive, and if need be. aggressive policy. Oakes Murphy 1. is honest, just and upright and every
 inch man. Pity all political appoint
 ments cannot go to men as worthy. We
 hope to see justice dealt out to Arizona
 by next congress. by the passage of an
 enabling act admitting it into the . Union as a state, and that Governor N. l Oakes Murphy may be elected it's sena. , tor for the long term.-Fresno Eypos-
