The weekly Arizona miner., 1878-10-25
POLITICAL SPEAKER sQUELCHED.,
An Echo from the- HIIls-O' Sullivan to the

Front.
 EprroR MrNER:-The soid Hassayam- persn and the Lynx Greek gold diggers were invited to attend political meeting last week. Upon which occasion Hon. Patrick O'sullIvan would rise to explain He would enter into the question of the merits and demerits of dedT John for the Deligacy-the man who placed himself Iii nomination without solicitation from the voters of Arizona In response to the call, the boys who have roughed it, stood by the country through days of darkness, ana now behold sunshine and plenty, assem- bled en masse to listen to Patrick, who from an elevated position spoke as follows;
 FsLlop Cuizeas-The flashing news has been received that four gentlemen wish to become martyrs for the good of the "dirty shirts the s.besn eaters and poor wretches who are generally looked upon with trovn. The candidates who have nomlna- mated themselves are John G. Campbell, King $. Woolsey, II. $. Stevens, and A. l.. Davis.
 Now, fellow citizens, do not propose to tell you wha: have done, because you all know me, and have known of my doing all these wears. But, taking the candidates n the order named, would like to ask: First, What has J. G. Campbell done that he from the crowd, II can tell you what he has done 50 can L. ''So can ]"
 MT. O'Sallivanl If you are going to make this speech a voice from the crowdl q can tell you what he has done, (the speaker rising to his feet, hls voice and manner such that MT. O'Sullivan listened with the rest and although 1t may seem small matter, and a something that should not be spoken of, yet, as it will only affect one vote-that of myself, l feel at liberty, in this country of free speech, to say what 1 do.
 First: think that Americans should rule America am an adopted citizen ot this, the grandest government of the world, would not vote for man from my own coun- try to fill any of the offices of this scountry, noT would accept the votes of the citizens ot this country, nor presume to nominate my self to fill any of its offices of honor or trust.
 Secondly: There was q time in the his tory of this Territory, that truly tired mems souls when fife and property wee alike in danger from the depredations oi Indians. Often men volunteered to hght back and hunt down this dreaded foe. It was at time when Prescott had but few mercantile houses, cOnssquently when one house exhausted its ssupply of any one artl- cle, it left the balance of power with the other. It became necessary upon one occf . sioa for the 'bean eaters to join hands and 20 out against the common foe In the | evening before certain expedition was 10 start out, composed of men who bore thelr own expenses in every respect, cartridges were worth $7 per hundred at the store CT i the man who wishes now to be our martyr and in 12 hours after, they had raised to the nice little sum of S10. Flour, at the same store kept by dear John, had taken flight and gone from $22 to $24, all because these articles were only to be found at the said store. Hardy and venturesome pio neers were willing to spend thair money, give their time, and risk |! bullet or the scalping- knife of the demons that came forth from every ravine throughout the mountains, 10 drive us from this land; and I ask, Where was the gentleman that now takes such lively interest in our affairs, l ana WaDLs IllG NOleS Oi liOSC HS'iiN he robbed on flour, cartridges, etc.F ! l0'Sulliyan tries again to explain, DUl | his wind is shut oil by an excited member of ihe expedition, which was headed by Bill Little and of which your fellow towns man John Raiblc was volunteer.
 Campbell was basking in the shades oi his high-toncd high-priced wet and dry goods establishment. and laughing n hiS sleeve at the joke. how he hau caught corner on flour ana cartridges. His cor nersi nave been numerous. The old pio necrs who survive wlll remember the days gone by, and pay him hack by making | corner on votes. and allowing detr John
 to rc...:ain at home and still bask Tn th' shades of that brick store the 'beauttiu mansion and count his thousands of sheel and cattle. OSullivan, himself, Is satisile, that the Saint of many sins is not the mar to represent a good and noble people II the halls of our National Congress.
 The meeting was enthusiastic, and seVe ral new memhers joined, all declaring tha the old Indian fighter, King $. Uoolsey who never made "corner" oa anything smaller than an Indian. will get the entire vote of those who live on Lynx Creek, a also that of tie 'old Hassayampers.
