 Sir: l read carefully your editorial, published a few days ago, relative to me candidacy of Ralph Ii. Cameron lor the nomination for United States senator, and feel that you do not seem 70 give MT. Cameron a fair deal in tne matter. You seem to have for rotten MT. Cameron's services to tho Republican party and state of Ari- zona, when he was our delegate tC congress. You will remember that we nominated and elected him to con gless, and as our delegate he fulfilled ,ls promise, made in the canvass, "tC
 cure ou- admission into the union, elected, and he didwhat others hac
 lied to do, viz, secured our adrnis- sion into the union of states. He has
 ever been rewarded for that grea; nd splendid service by his party, or anyone else, and now asks us to con sider his claim to the nomination fo: the United States senate. No one irving or dead, will ever be able tc rob him of his just good fame, of hay ing secured our emancipation iron
 tutelage of territorial existence, and bestowing upon us the mantle independent statehood with the right of free and independent people. MT Cameron's fealty to the state of Ari zona has never faltered, as he was in lis, wonderful canvass for delegat, % congress, so he is now, the person .ication of patriotic loyalty and en ergy to his state, whose very exis: ence is due to his unflagging devotion and energy. Let us be fair to him i, his canvass for senator, and not af ford the imputation of being ungrate ful for the benefits which, through his marvellous and unsurpassed public ser vices. have come to our possession Id enjoyment. Marvellous, did l say Yes, marvellous, for in his canvass foI delegate to congress to meet his co Dartisans at Clifton, Ariz., he covered over a hundred miles at night O. horseback, through a bleak, inhos pitable and wild country in southeast. n Arizona, reaching his destination in safety, safe and sound, where hc met his fellow partisans, on the aler md ready to carry the war of politica warfare into the enemy's stronghold Cochise and other southern coun tries, which they did, and won the battle, and Cameron was triumphantly elected. That marvellous ride saveC he day, saved Cameron, saved ou party, saved the majesty, political en ity and freedom of Arizona, anc
 ced her safely beyond all further machinations of self-serving politica
 mbinations. See?
 That strenuous ride was equal tC
 Il Sheridan's ride, celebrated il slorious verse by Thomas Buchanan Need. As Shcridan's ride saved th, Gay at the battle of Winchester, i'll th rebellion, so did Ralph Cameron's rid,
 e the day to his party's cause and gave that party the glorious credit O " waning statehood, and that party was and is the glorious, loyal Republican party, that put down the rebellion ant saved the republic from the efforts O he solid south to overthrow 1t, anC again that same Republican party i: alled upon to save the country iron the misrule of that some outfit, anC Ralph H. Cameron, as well as all O our Republican candidates, can be de pended upon to put forth their bes efforts to again overthrow that same outfit, that has put our country in its present deplorable plight. A Repub lican is a Republican, and regardless of personal likes or dislikes is entitled 70 his competition against and with all other candidates. All the candi- dates, in other words, are entitled to 5 square deal from a political stand point, wholly regardless of persona; prednections. That is a Square dear and nothing else is. And SC mote 1t be. Sincerely and truly yours
 DANIEL E. PARKS.
