(GOVERNOR HUNT. - Reseated in the Executive Chair > of Arizona by Unanimous j Decision of the Supreme ! Court [ Yesterday morning, at 9:45 ; o'clock, the Supreme Court, by . unanimous decision, awarded the contested election for gover governor - nor governor of Arizona to George W- P. Hunt, the former incumbent, 1 unseating Tom Campbell, who had held the place since February last as the result of the most flagrant political treachery and skullduggery ever known in the history of Arizona politics.

Immediately the two messages were incor incorporated - porated incorporated in an extra which was scattered about town, everybody desiring receiving one. The news was received with no small satisfaction by all good democrats, and many who are not so good, having fallen from grace so far as to have voted for Tom Campbell in the election last year- Several of that kind expressed to "The Oasis" their gratification at the result; and all of them admitted they would do otherwise had it to be done again.

Nowhere in the machinery of the government of the United States rests any right for the general government in and of its branches to have anything to say in a state election.

Campbell, is quoted, as having declared the next appeal "will be taken : to the people-" All right, Tom- j That is the place to go; but you will get little consolution there. : Those misled democrats whose : votes made possible the close- ] ness of the election and the 1 seating of a republican candi-M date, have cut their wisdom < teeth. While willing "to try < anything once" they not do it i twice. j
