 Governor BrOdie is tO be commend. cd for the order which he has caused to be issued to members of the ranger force, that they are not to take active part in politics this fail, as the rangers are in no way connected with either party and 1t ls the desire of the goyer. nor to keep the force out of all polit- lcal combinations and party fights, as he believes that the men will give bet ter service if not mixed up with polit- ical parties.
 The democ ats of Tucson are highly pleased at the result of the territorial convention at Phoenix. They believe that in Mark Smith for congress and x. w.

His promotion to the council is regarded as in every way the proper thing. g.--Cttizen.

If he thinks he can, then we would like some explanation of why he is democrat and what he thinks democracy is.-Prescott UOu- rier.
