 CAPTAIN HARDY,
 According to the Governors deserip-
 tion ''one of the cid wheel horses of
 Republicanism in Arizona, and simi- lar to one of those pieces of artillery :, that were called during the war heavy, because they killed at long
 range" was the next speaker, and
 spoke as follows:
 LADIES AND CENT. I.EsrEN-He . fore it has been our misfortune to be ruled and represented by men who i because they have been fortunate enough to acquire a little wealth have had themselves elected to of flee There being no party organiz ation i'll our Territory, they have
 been accountable to no direct party
 following for their official conduct
 In consequence these men were as a , general thing more solicitous con
 corning the attainment of those ends II
 interests, than of those tending to
 better the pubic welfare. This state
 of affairs is now at an end. It has
 been killed by the organization of
 the two great National parties, and !
 hereafter men who fill our offices !
 will be under strict party discipline !
 and scrutiny, and they will be care !
 ful not 10 act in way that would | leave the suspicion Of a stain on |
 theIr official record. The parties. | too, will be careful to select their | best and most capable men for their i candidates fer office, and we will i thereby be saved the humiliation of being represented by such men as
 our last Delegate ill Congress, who
 vas hardly recognized iR either de ! partmental or social circles in Wash 1 ington- Independent candidates are | things of the past, and let Us hope { they will remain so. It was my fortune to once be such candidate,
 and some of you may remember that
 I made diligent canvass of your county, and as q return had the satis- factIon of receiving four votes.
 Here Governor Gosper said he was glad 10 be able to state thata gentle man who had been instrumental in securing the CAp,ain two of those votes was now on the stand, in the person of member of the Phoenix Brass Band.
 'TwESrY-sIx YEARS AGO." Remarked the chairman, In 1856, { there assembled at Pittsburgh, Pa, number of fearless spirits to work , in opposition to the advancement of slavery on American soil. That was the inception of tue Republican party, and am glad, yea proud, to 1 have the honor to present to you a . gentlenan -xho lvas ono of that m 2 daunted number 10 protest against f the curse of slavery, and who in that meeting made the motion that the Republican party be organized, and as a Republican, am glad to present a to you spirit so strong in the cause Il of right as
 MIR. c. M. k. PAULIsON,
 Who has grown old in the fight for c right under Republican banaers. MT " Paulison, who is quite an elderly gentleman, remarked that on account of being quite indisposed, he would b make his remarks very brief, and q then spoke as follows:
 feel proud to have been here to- V day to participate in the First Terri G tOrial Convention of the Republican party in Arizona. It WAS my pleas ure, es your chairman has stated, to be . member of the great Pittsburg a Convention that led to the formation o of that party which has made a record ." great0r than was ever made by any " party that ever existed. Its history .. is the history of our country for the IL past twenty-five years. You have laid the foundation, today, of party in Arizona that will develop it in O a healthy and perfect State. The D principles of the Democratic party f, tend only to demoraliZation and dis union, and might say to everything that is detrimental 10 the perma- u nency and stability of a government :. 1 will allude 10 q few of its prin- t' c;ples to show that it has never, in 9ss the past twenty-fOur years, made q promise to the people which it has = kept. The Democratic party ob tained it's hold on the affections of our people by pretending to be the friend of the Union. It enscribed on it's banner, ''The Constitution, the Union, and the Enforcement of the Laws" and how it maintained these principles the Civil War demon strated Like 5ery other principle these were dIsregarded when it was to the interest of Democracy to ig- nore them. Every platform they have issued in the past twenty years has contained principles which have been Contradicted in succeeding platforms. Their sole aim has been to grasp the reins of Government at any cost. and with this object in vIeW they have not been backward in . abandoning all claims to stability of S purpose. e
 At the conclusion of MT. Paul ison's address, three hearty cheers l and tiger were given for the old veteran
 Gov. Gosper then arose, and read the following from telegram which r he had just received:
 PRESCOTT, August 23.-Wc have just finished firing one hundred guns in honor of the nomination of Stew art, and the Democrats are down in the mouth. CT do not know what that means" remarked the reader. If there is Democrat here will he please show his mouth, that we may see."l They will not bet cent.
 MT. Gosper then turned the meet ing over to MT. Isaacs, whom he termed
 THE TALL SYCAMORE OF THE SALT, Who spoke as follows: I
 l am glad to see so many of my fellowcitiZens here tonight, to learn I the difference between the Republi
