and A Review of These Cases Up To Date. How The Zulick Hold-Overs Were Contending1 For a Principle and Wonldn'c Yield to Law. The so-called penitentiary r.nd insane asjlum cases, involving the Zulick and Wolfley appointments on the lxmrds, are set for hearing today. Considerable interest is felt in tlies.0 cases 'and a review of them up to date may not be uninteresting. On April 10, 1890, Governor Wolfley nominated to the Territorial Council a full set of Territorial officers, and they were duly confirmed by the Council. They qualified and enteral upon the duties of their offices. Then was put in operation n scheme to keep these lawful appointees out of their sev several - eral several offices in defiance ot law. C. Meyer Zulick, who had just gone out of the office of Governor, has been charged with having conceived the scheme and promoted it. All the offices had been previously filled by Governor Zulick, but the Council rejected the nominations and the Zulick nppointees simply held tho individual commission of n deposed Governor, saving a few, who were confirmed in Mnrch, 1887, and whose terms of office had expired in March, 188!. These Zulick nominees, however, despite their rejection by the Council, refused to retire or surrender their otliccs when thj apointees of Governor Wolfley, who had all been been confirmed, demanded their poi poi-tions. - tions. poi-tions.

All this while the Zulick holdovers were contending that they were acting in good faith, that all they wanted was a decision of any court as to the legality of the legislative session, and if against them they would retire at once, but that until such a decision should be made they would continue to hold on at what whatever - ever whatever cost, exjonso, loss or injury to tho Territory. In January last a case was presented to the Sunremc Court of Ari Arizona - zona Arizona involving nil tiiese questions, and nfter an elaborate argument it was sub submitted - mitted submitted to that Court and taken under advisement.
