Republican Leaders Are Try ing to Explain the Why's and WhereforeS of the DiSap- pointment

The following from the Phoenix Republican purports to give the in- side of the deciination of Governor Kibbey to appoint W. P. McNar of this city as railroad commissioner. The story sounds very much to the piscatorial and looks as If some one is looking for some one else to lay the blame upon. The Republican story follows:
 Why W. P. MeNa'r of coehise county was not appointed a member of the Arizona railway commission has been the subject of some mis- understanding. Mir. McNair had been recommended by the Arizona Com merciaI association and Governor KIbbey was disposed to appoint him. but word reached the governor that the council would not connrm his ap- DO ntment Before taking any action the governor. who was desirous Of needing to the wishes or the asso- cIation, after having satisfied himself of the capability of Mir. McNair, fur tner inyesiigated the attitude of the council, which was distinctly. un- friendly.
 .'An attempt vas made to eommun icate with MT. McNair and ascertain whether he was willing to have his name sent in if there was a likeli- hood that he would faiI of confrma- ton, but be could not be reached, and the governor decided not to make the appointment.
 "The same situation was presented in the case of Judge Andrews, but he sa d that he had no objection 10 the transmission of his name, even though the chances were greatly against his confirmation"
 MT McNair was seen this morning and given an opportunity to submit to an elaborate interview upon the subject matter of the Phoenix story. And he accepted with pleasure.
 At the time be was approached both legs were tied in a bow knot around a miniature oil stove, heat be. ing at a premium.
 Mir. McNair. do you believe that the governor really wanted to appoint you. but. hearing that those mean democratic c0mcilmen d'd not like you and would not stand for you, and that then the governor tried to get you and could not-I sav, do you DtleW all lIaN- bAAS AA-Ni '-N'' ~- asFed.
 Mr. McNair untangied one of his legs and admitted gTaclously that the season is an odd one.
 Did the democratic council have anvth ng against you?"
 He got the crimp out of his second leg and suggested that Douglas can not 20 forward unless the copper price goes up, closed mines are re- opeued and new railroads brought in.
 'But. seriously, if the governor had tried very hard to find you here could he not have done sO?"
 A sad-like. far-away look came into bIs eyes: the reporter understood. He z,as thinking. of those well-apDointed nuftou-chop whiskers with wh ch ne ierarted in the first breath or sprihs' trala.
 opo vou believe the governor sat .sRed blmself of your caDabihtv, anu. are you yourself sa14sA0u of vour capabf'ty?
 He wipked-drst. one eve, then the ,fber. tbpu both Tn the langHage or inc slv old fox of the grand old party ,f Cocbise the eve movements were an aflrmative answer.
 The in+erv'ez was interrunted al .bis ro'rf hv the entree Of Char'es A. Overlook who had a look in his eyes which indicated he was expecting rclse like a, United States marshai- sh'n. .-.- --5F nary topics.
