Last Saturday evening the Kepub- licans met at the school house in their village for the purpose of or ganizing a Garfield and Arthur cam paigu club. MT. C. r Harrison was chosen temporary chairman, and Mir. Wm. Slaughlin acted as secretary.
 Resolutions expressive of the ne cessity of the party.s placing in nom ination for and elcctilg to office it's best and most capable men were adopted as the sense of the meeting All desiring to enlist for the cam paign under the Garfield banner were invited to come forward and enroll Twelve responded to the invitation. Committees on perma- nent organization, on constitution and bylaws, on finances and on solic- iting members were appointed. Par ticular attention was paid to the Sc lection of men for the last named committee, and, judging by the "rustling" abilities of those com posing il, the club membership will swell rapidly. On the completion of routine business, addresses were called for and in response
 JUDGE WILKES
 Addressed the meeting in lis usual terse and entertaining style. The careers of the parties were reviewed, not only in the country at large, but in our own county and Territory. Laying before Lis hearers the condi- lions Of the country under Demo cratic and Republican administra lions. he azkcl that tiay he cnnsisi- cretlcarefully and without prcjudice. and that each and every one would then cast his vo:e uuinhuenccd by feelings of friendship or regard.
 F. A. SHAW
 Was next called. He was no orator, he said, but when such men as those who boasted that they would ''call the roll of their slaves at the foot of Bunker Hiil' and those who WOu Id make slavery the corner stone of a republic" ," endeav0re.l to grasp the reins of National Government, he felt that it was his duty as citizen and q lover of his country to raise his voice in protest against such itsur- render.
 A-R. DECKER Referred his auditors to home ad ministratioa if they desired to learn the result of Democratic regime. All that was necessary 10 examine was the financial condition of the country today, and when il was sur rendered into their hands. Then the county revenue was found sufficient to pay all expenses, to-day the county was nearly S100, coo in debt, and Democratic. officers were still piling it on.
 DON F. ABBOTT Felt that now, as the Democrats had forced the drawing of party lines by mal-adm inistratlon, it only remained with the Republicans to make them regret il, by returning the Repubi Ctll lOllllCSS iO tOOItfN OfuAOo III ANJ- vem Der. This he felt certain they could do by earnest, energetic and iucessant work, and advised every to make the honest sue cess of his parry in November per sonal matter.
 c. F. HARRISON Knew that the Republicans of Php- nix would be satisfied with their i brethern in Tempe, when the cam paisn opened. He voGched for the | qualities of the Tempe Re | publican, and satisfactory returns | from the Tempe precinct in Novem- Der.
 SERGEANT KUiINE
 Was the next on the floor, and with a short ringing speech brought down the house. He was, " ic said, ''one of tho second army corps, and one who had fought four years under General Hancock, but nevertheless he felt it his duty to work so far as he was able against the return of those men, as National rulers, against whom he and so many other Union soldiers had fought in order 10 pre- serve the Usiion, and at whose hands he and soldier comrades had suffered he misseries Of rebel prisons in all heir reality and hideousness.
 Speeches were also made by Dr. Sheets, Messrs. Vim. Lon ghsin. Henry Fowler, Judge Dunnam and Wm ) O'Neill. The meeting was en- husiastic in the extreme, and enc hat speaks well for the Republican, sm of Tempe, and will as one of he speakers said, wake up the 3ourbons, and keep them 'on the ump,'" " if ,hey intend 10 accomp- ish anything in November.
