OUR CANDIDATES.

The republican party this year pre- sents to the voters of Yavapai county list of citizens as candidates for the respective official positions to be filled which should commend itself favorably to them.
 At the head of the ticket stands the name of N. O. Murphy as candidate for delegate to congress. Few off cials in the territory have ever had the same amount of abuse heaped upon him by his political enemies, and who has been subjected to so much mis- representation as has Governor Mur- phy. Yet he has paid no attention to this, but has gone right along in the discharge of his duties, working for the best interests of the whole terri tory. The territory has never had an official in any capacity who has placed the public good of the territory ahead of partisan advantage more faithfully than he, or who has worked more zealously than be to promote the best interests of the territory. If he has made mistakes, they have been fewer than others who have occupied similar positions, and the public in terests have not suffered through any mistake made by him.
 And if the supercritical can find few mistakes made by him, even his most rabid political enemy cannot point his finger at a single act of \. O. Murphy, either as governor or del egate, to which even a suspicion of corrupt or wrong motives attach.
 Arizona is knocking for admission as a state, in fact has been knocking for years. It is now pretty well es tablished fact that the territory can not attain this object by the election of delegate not in harmony with the administration. That the election of Mckinley is now as certain as any thing in this life can be certain even the democrats concede. The logical candidate under these conditions is N. O. Murphy. Vote for him on cleo tion day.
 For the territorial council, that old citizen and pioneer of the territory, that experienced mining man and vet eran legislator, Hon. A. J. Doran has been selected by the party and no wiser selection could have been made. MT. Doran is a conservative man and a man of excellent judgment. He has lived in the territory for years, is acquainted with every nook and cor ner of it and is hence thoroughly familiar with the needs of every sec tion. He is a representative of the principal industry of Yavapai county and one of the chief industries of Ari- zona, that of mining, and mine owners and miners would be voting against their own interests to refuse to vote for him. Another important point in his qualifications is the extensive leg islative experience he has had. There is no man in the territory who has served the people in the capacity of a legislator in as many sessions of the legislative assembly as Mir. Doran. He was elected for term after term and there can be no better evidence of the satisfaction given by him than this. He was always found diligent, conservative and effective.
 For the house of representatives, the republicans submit the names of T. c. Job, of Prescott; Thos. E. Camp bell, of Jerome and c. w. Jones, of Octave, all of them honest, concien- tious and able.
 Mir. Job is a successful young law yer, man of marked ability, and like MT. Doran, a conservative and safe man, one in whom the law making power of the territory can be safely vested.
 Mir. Campbell was raised in Ari- zona. He is young man but one of the rising young men of the territory. A man of good ability and one who will serve the people well.
 NIT. Jones is a mining man of Octave, and who has the respect and confidence of all who know him, which is as good a recommendation as any one can have.
 The republican convention was pc culiarly fortunate in its selection of candidate for district attorney in the person of Joseph E. Morrison, one of the most popular young men in the county. In addition to being popular Mir. Morrison is a good lawyer and besides this general qualification he has had extensive ex erience in the
