for Delegate TO Congress, arrived
yesterday morning and was seranad-
ed at the Bank Exchange Hotel the
early part of last evening. Flam-
ing posters and notices in their
organ informed the public
that Oury and Cox would speak, to-
gether with plenty of music and
three large bonfires induced a crowd
of at least 200-one half whom
were Republicans-to fill the seats
around the speakers stand on the
plaza. The meeting was called to-
order by Judge Alsap, and then the
chief actor was produced, Mr.. Oury,
who was received with very faint
applause. That gentleman spoke
of his acquaintance here and the
fact that lie was always proud to
meet our people. Tonight he stood
before them as Democrat and
bearing the endorsement of the
Democratic convention, and pro-
posed to talk to them on the princi- |
pies advocaed by his party He did |
not appear as an aFologist-lt need |
ed none. There is nothing new in |
the principles, says the speaker, it
means nothing but self government.
The principles are old everybody
must know; the ones promulgated
in the days of Jefferson are the ones
being fought for to-day. How is it
with the Republican party, a party
that has had control of the govern
ment for the past twenty years. lis
record shows 4 series of acts tending
to Capitalization. Since the cessa-
ton of the rebellion il has pursued
course tending to maintain its su-
premacy at all hazzards for the pur-
pose Of spoil. He then prophccied
he election of Hancock and the ut ,
er annihilation of the Republican .
oarty. After taking drink of wa {
er he was willing to admit there was
ome chance of success of the Re
~ ublican party, and in case of such
n event the third plank of Their i
platform, meant a secretary of Educa-
ion, who would employ all the school z
eachers-S0,000 in umber-of the !
anne religious creed. and through
his power inculcate the principles
the Republican party, and with
lch power they would in four
lake future defeat impossible, hence =
was necessary to overthrow them :
ow, and then he changed his mind
nd said the Republicans had no
low at all, and that their defeat
-Ould be 50 great that in four years T
lie party wGuld hardly be referred =
}. When about to close he re-
rendered that he had said nothing
bout Territorial matters and prom
ed he would do everything, etc
OF necessary to specify. In regard
} his voting the $500 belonging to L
lt common schools of Pima county
the Sisters of ST. Joseph, he said
e plead guilty of the charge and al
as glad of it and would do so again. E
was in the days when the school
cilities of Pima county were not
and the Sisters took charge -
20 children and kept them for two
ears; pima county gave up her z
iare. That's aH." 8
He then took his seat and after
me music by the band the Chair
an introduced Rev l. II. Cox, the
emocratic nominee for School
lperintendent, who launched off in
twenty minutes "go-as-you-please"
ghtning speech. He said he was
lend of the public school system
I'd a friend of education-that lie
as not above learning. Mr.. Sher- p
an, he said was his equal in merit
perhaps higher. Whether elected
: not he would 1e the same loyal
tizen. The Republican party
aims to be the party of intelligence
Id they forget there are some Dem
,ratic youths who are going to n
,hool and who Will compare favor =
bly, with their Republiblican breth-
N. He, likewise, promised every
ling good but did not specify. D
fter remarking that he could talk
IT an hour but he felt he was taxing
is hearers, he sat down.
The Chairman. Judge Alsap, then
