THE DAILY EPITAPH IS the only Daily Xctrspapcr jmblishcd in Cochise roun ty that takes a regular telegraphic press report and does not use "boiler plate" In.-teai of the constitutional con vention being put to sleep and laid away on the shelf, its opjtonents will find that it is an exceedingly healthy infant, and that if the proclamation i not issued on time the 'fun" has only commenced. As to who controls and dictates the jiolicy of the Daily Epitaph, it i well known in Tombstone that the first letters of their names are Meek iv. Madero.and none others. Bei-oke this constitutional conven tion is over the Governor and his or gan will sincerely wish that the iucs tion had been laid away on the shelf. The Epitaph is a credit to its pulc lishers, and is deserving the supiort of the citizens of Tombstone. A fear leis outspoken journal will nlways win and hold the confidence of the public. Phenix Arizonan. THE TKITII UP THE 311 1 m:- In another column will U oiind the full text of the opinion o! Attorney General MilVr upon the legality of the acts of the legi-lature after the 21-t of March, and also upon the le gality of the law providing for a con stitutional convention. It will be seen by this document th.it the only iUe-tion a- to the legality ol the con vention law i- a- to whether it was paved within the .-i.vty duy limit, and that it was is proven by the published laws of the Fifteenth legi-latilie.which show that it wa- approved on the "Jlst of March, which wa- the la-t day of the legal -ittiim of the legislature. That Governor Wnlllcy wa- in nceipl of thi- opinion over a month atco there is no doubt, and the expo-lire of hi double dealing in the mutter has placed him in a very unenviable light Wore the jwople of the Territory, and -!kw- that he is anything hut an ltonor to the high ltosition he occu pies. l!y hi- action it is evident that the Kepubliean party i- to be a- heav ily handicapped aswa-tho Democratic party in the per-on of Xulick. Whether or not he i- acting on his own respon sibility or on the advice of fal-e friends, the re-ult is the same, and he can have no good excuse to oiler for liix bold attempt to override the law- ol the Territory. The Citizen wa- al-o aware of the purport of the opinion, but obe.vx! the lieliest of its master- by piibh-h ing a garbled and lying uerpt. for which not the least foundation can li found in the genuine opinion, think- i ing by this course to hoodwink tin 1 people. Hut it made the fatal blun der of underestimating the iniellienii. t and enterprise .f lis opponent. The opinion al-o set- at re-t all con troversy as to the legal limit of the legislature. It can onlv -it for -ixtv . con-f'Ctitive day-, and all acts pa--cd I after that time arc void Neither i an ' the Governor call an evtra se-sioii of the legislature. As the rea emblmg , of the leiri-lature on Governor Wolf-1 ley's arrival was after the sixty days' had expired, and wa- in the nature of an extra session, nil of the Governor'- j antiointmeiits are illegal, and. except in some in-tances, the Democrats will continue to hold their olli e- mail their term- expire by law. Tin- "p n imi ha- not bten published . n ( soon, and ought to re-nlt iu ' n -traightening out of the bu-im affair.- of the Territory, which is -.idly needed. Although Governor Woltley was not the choice of the Daily Epitaph for Governor, when we learned of his ajr pointment we stated that, a-a Kcpul hcan journal, we were prepare! to give him a loyal support, .-tippo-mg l.im to be an honorable gentleman and 'ne wlio would administer the law- of tin. Territory. The first chill came when h apiMiinted Clark Churchill and J A. Hlack to important po-itions the latter being notoriously until for the otlice to whicli he was appointed; and it also looked bad that Uoyal A. John son was his bo-om friend. However, we swallowed them, although it vva a nan-eating do-c of crow. Hut thi l.ist action of his in standing up ! fore the jeoplc of the Territory and delilier.itely lying aliout an opinion in which the people of the Territory are greatly interested, leraiise it did not suit him, was too much. Ix-TB.vi) of the Daily Epitaph sur rounding itself with such a cloud of dust that it cannot see a streak of lightning, it would appear that the Citizen has cnvelocd itself in such a dense and mephitic atmosphere of I falsehood that it wouldn't know when it was hit over the head with a stock ing filled with ordure.
