MI. c. c. Beans withdrawal.

I Following is what Mr.. Bean says il
Withdrawing his name as a candidate
for Delegate, and it is said in manly
hopeful and creditable tone.
To THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA :-Evel
since the announcement made by mt
some weeks ago that / should be &
candidate for Delegate to Congress al
the election in November next, have
endeavored to shape may private bust.
ness SO as to TAXI the field and com.
mence tho tour of the Territory on the
first day of September. I find it i'm.
possible to do this, and notwithstand.
ing the qualification II would give me
to be in the next Congress, that / might
take part in the deliberations and &C
ton of that body on the Public school
question and 10 the resumption of spe-
Gle payments, and on the increase of
the Army of the United States so that
you may settle the Indian question
speedily and forever, so far as hostili-
ties are concerned, for these reasons
and some others, particularly, the con-
struction of the Southern Utah Rail
road TO the Colorado of the west, themes
TO Prescott, Tucson and Guaymas,
which l predict will be done within
five years, giving US the short route to
the East, this together with the estab-
ishment of United States Assay of
fee at Prescott so that the bullion pro-
duct of the country about US might be
stamped and made available for COM
purposes, right in our midst,
which would be of great advantage toI
the Territory, and again, first last and
all the time, an effort, a high minded,
honorable and just effort to acquire byl
liberal purchase, enough of Mexican
Territory to give us control of the
mouth of the Colorado river, to open
to Us the gateway to the sea, to control
he Gulf of California and enable US
70 have therein a good commercial
marine; these are some of the objects
% be attained by, and will spring from
proper Congressional legislation, and
ire explanatory of my desire to work
or two years at the Capital of the Ma
ion.
Within the last two years we have
made such rapid strides in population
md material prosperity that conjecture
taggers as to what we shall be ten
ears hence. Arizona contains such IN
sounded mineral wealth that the wild
st dreams of her progress are as
likely to prove true as are the predic-
ions of sober and timid calculation,
er iron, coal and salt, her lead and !
opper, silver and gold, these constitute {
Material and imperishable wealth, to &
'hich the world pays tribute, and such
'ealth is about us in every direction. l
his part is known and the tide of mi q
ration sets toward US and you cannot
iop il. Let US welcome then in the
roadest and most liberal manner, the
nxious father and hopeful mother, I
he tiny faces that peep beneath the
Id wagon sheet, the barefoot boys q
nd brown checked girls that have fol-
WED the footsore cattle for a thou I
md miles, let US give them q general
elcome and strive to show that here u
e all pull together for the common Il
enefit. Ii
With half regret that my business :
fairs will not allow me to carry out :.
y purposes and hopes IN the comlng :
but striving still to assist in
the public as well as myI :;
WI private interests, and taking off =
y hat and making my best bow to q,
y neighbors and friends and fellow
tizens, respectfully withdraw fromI
e campaign as candidate for Dele -
tie TO Congress. G. G. BEAN. =,
