THE LOCAL REPUBLICANS.

We are sorry to observe a tendency
on the part of such a good Republican
MS J. NJ. Ormsby TO antagonize tho
policy Of the Republican administra-
ton as applied to Arizona. At the
gabfest of the Tucson Republicans on
Saturday night Mr. Ormsby took ocra-
sion between beers to nominate gen
tleman of the name of Richardson for
sheriff of Pima county.
We have ascertained that Mr.. Rich
ardson has been a resident of Pima
county for some years, which fact, II
the policy of thn Roosevelt administra-
ton is followed. would make his sclec-
ton for the shrievalty inopportIne
We do not think Mr.. Ormsby desires
to go into insurrection against the pol-
icy of the chiefs of his party. and
hence we assume that when he nomin-
ated Mr.. Richardson, he had Frank
Murphy and the Democrats in mind
and thought the distribution of a few
cheap compliments would do no harm.
Mr.. Ormsby is surely aware that the
federal representatives of his party are
not disposed to look with favor upon
Tucson Republicans. II he doubts
this. let him ask John b. Wright. Let
him ask any of dozen Republicans
who thought they were capable OF dis
