Wilson, in the splen- did manner in which he has fought Arizoua's battles in his almost single handed opposition to the infamous re- publican effort to compel the admins tration of this territory as state ID a manner wholly against every princIple Of deceEcy and fairness.

Tom Parish and Eugene Brady O'Neill, oi MaricOpa county, were both candi- dates but they withdrew early in the day in favor Of Crawford and when the convention met he had no opposition.
 The Tucson Star lays the defeat of its editor to Hon. Mark Smith, who was probably getting even on the Star for the many bitter fights it has made against him in years past. The following extract from an editorial ir ;he Star is interesting reading:
 Ut was remarkable convention in several things. There appeared to be a large quantity Of acrimonious feel- ing among the Maricopa delegation against Pima county. Why, no one could explain, but they came up as they said with the declared purpose Of doing up" Pima county.
 Their feeling seemed to become in- fectiOnus, which resulted in the hold ing of a caucus Sunday night in which Pima was refued admission.
 1.-Two or three other counties were likewise denied admission.
 That caucus named all Of the or 9anization officers of the convention.
 Ut also named the delegates and al ternates to the national convention ir- respective Of the instructions Of the conventions of the respective counties.
 When the convention met. the eau GUS slate went through like lot of al- 'alfa fed hogs going into a slaughter chute. No question asked; no dissent on the part or the nerd. All was cut and dried and no one was to have a chance to change his pledge no matter how much he might have been de- ceived or mi>led.
 "A most remarkable proceeding was had in this convention, a job never be- fore attempted upon q convention to our knowledge. rot by the rankest, the crudest, the most ignorant polit- l ical jobbers.
