 On taking the chair Col Toole was warmly received, and after ihanKlng the gentlemen present for their honor bestowed upon him, assumed the du- ties Of his office.
 At this point loud calls were made foI aspeech from Ex Governor Stafford, who was present, and that gentleman responded with all his old.time elo- quence. He said that this was the first year in the history of Arizona in which any successful effort had been made 10 organize the Republican party in Arizona, and it afforded him pleasure to witness the deep interest which was being taken by SO many people. Years ago division on party lines was not deemed practicable, and Territorial county officers were elect cd on an indePenGent basis. But there had never been a time when enough Democrats could Ii be found to ill all the offices. Then they would turn around and taunt the Republi- cans upon their lack of organization and with being afraid to make nomi- nations The time had arrived when thIs had been heard long enough; the time had arrived to show your hand. If the Republicans were true to them selves and to their great party princi- pies victory would be Inevitable The object of this meeting was not for the purpose of securing a few offices; it was for the purpose Of securing true and honest officials. He dld not pro- | pose 10 criticisc the nominations made ! by the late Democratic County Con 1 vention; but he had recently returned l from an extended tour through the | county, and he declared that the Dem ! ocrats generally were very much dis gusied with the ticket which it was 1 demanded of them to swallow, and 1 they wanted anything rather than that | ticket. IL remained for the Rcpubli- l cans to put forward their best and 1 only their best, men and efforts, and l success was certain; if the Republi- 1 cans do not do all this, then they will l not deserve to succeed. The time is past when politicians, as such, could 1 run this country. Nominate Inc very | best and most economical men on the ! ticket, and success would be certain. ! Gov. Stafford then briefly reviewed the | he national political situation, show ng that at no time in the history of | he United States was the country so or its credit abroad SO good. The boastful statements of the Demo ,rats were not to be credited The American people, great and prosper ,us and contented as they now are. Ire not going to turn the reias of gov ,rnment over to the party which has been a block in the path of civiliza- ion and progress for the past twenty 'ears. The speaker was repeatedly interrupted with bursts of applause, md his earuestness of manner and i'm ,ressive force made itself felt in no light degree.
 In response 10 numerous calls for l speech, both from the floor and from be chair, Nr. O. O. Trantum stated ha, Ee was present with q desire to ee the purpose of the meeting carried ut successfully. He felt that, as a lew conner, not yet entitled to a vote, would be presumptious on his part O attempt to advise or counsel men vho had lived here long enough to ully understand the situation; but if lay in hls power to in any way be of ervice to the Republicans in the com ng campaign, they might command i'm. He was a Republican of long .
