ConradMeyerZulick, the seventh Governor of the Territory of Arizona and the first Democrat, arrived in Prescott, the capitol, in October of 1885, a few days after his dramatic midnight escape from jail in Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico.
Zulick remained in Arizona for several years and was elected Maricopa County Councilman in 1891.
When Territorial Governor Zulick went to the Prescott Opera House shown here, he was greeted by "hissing and foot stomping" for his political views, which included moving the capital from Prescott in 1889.
The political maelstrom that took place during Governor Zulick's administration is probably best represented by the fact that he was in a Mexican jail at the time of his appointment to the governorship.
Zulick demands new apportionments of the legislature, and federal school lands, all of which could only be achieved through statehood.
Zulick made many changes in the law, but was hampered by the fact previous administrative appointments refused to leave office because of his shady reputation.
