 The office of our contemporary was flooded this morning with tears of | sorrow over the defeat of Captain d Christy, which it terms "One Ofthe most talented as well as one of the | most representative young men of Arizona" Captain Christyis just the man described by the Courier. but |, the latter never made the discovery T, until the latter was defeated for the I nomination for delegate. Had he T been nominated the discovery never + would have been made or if made !, would never have been divulged bv it. If Captain Christy had been the nominee of the republican party. he n would have been the subject of the T most bitter vituperation from the f Courier, just as Col Brodie was two f years ago, but who on a former occa- $ sion had been lauded also to the skies F as a talented citizen.
