Ourys Doom Sealed

Oury's Doom Sealed
 C. II. ourY, who has for years tried to force himself upon the ePeop.e of this Terri tory, and is again trying ihe same thIng, spoke to a respectable number Iast evening at Democratic Headquarters, mostly, how ever, staunoh and and unstervering Repub- lioans. IL IS true that Oury stock vas, be- fore be spoke in Prescott, below par. but af- ter his effort of last night, it still further di unfinished and possibly he, will find on the 2d of November, that his vote iu Prescott pre- cinet Nill just about equal that received by Judge Rush few years since at Pete Ki;ch- ems ranch. Pima county.
 He first launched out Vnd applauded the Democratic party which he claimed was as old ss time itself He claimed 1t was the party that had saved the Union that Jef- ferson was ;he greatest man that ever lived, excepting, Of course, Jeff Davis, under whom he fought, blcd anu died for his coun- try He told as that the Republican party vas that of thieves, cut throat. and mur- derers He claimed that they seeded from the UnIon in 1861 and tried 10 destroy the American Government, but of course forgot Co allude to Buchanan and hls admInIstra tiou.
 lie said that the signs of the times told him that William Hancock lhe was think- ing of his brother William OuryJ would be tue next President of these Confederate States of America. Evidently the signs Of the times he referred to were the late vic tories in Indiana and Ohio. OL. how con soling.
 He told Us what the marshals were doing in the South Did he tell Us why 1t was necessary to use marshals there: Not much. With propriety he could have stated: am rebel, and my rebel friends would not submit to the colored people being allowed the freedom of American citizens at the polls, hence the necessity of placing mar shals and troops st the voting places for the purpose of protecting these poor people in their right 10 franchise. This, however, he omitted.
 Oury claimed to be friend of education and said he would If" elccted ask sn ap- Propiiation for that purpose. He said mot one acre of land in fifty within Arizona Is worth a cent" What an admission, Where ase our mines, agricultural, grazing and timber lands' Shame on tue ''O.d PIoEecr who would make such q statement.
 Then he told us how be would if elected send every Indian from Arizona into the Indian Territory, and thus break up every theiying Indian Reservation m Arizona, which would have the effect of withdrawing from the Territory every officer and soldier within her limits. Voters of Arizona what say you to thisi We quote him word for word Remember these utterances, gentle men, on the 2d of November.
 The Honorable gentleman from the plac id waters of the Rio Gila did not advance one sIngle new idea, nor did he make s.n- gle convert, but visa versa, lost nearly all hIs followers.
 After Oury concluded Hon. John A. Rush talked. He was loud and enthusiastic Rush at least Is honest in what he says, as he has sad the same things 50 often that he really believes what he says. Next came the young Mr. Rush and gave Us the plat form he believes in. It contains just ''one hundred shingles" At the close Col. Head got mad-he dished it out right aud left 10 Hon. 4. F.. Davis because that gentleman had ventured to state that Oury voted away the Public School money for sectarian pur- poses. The Colonel claimed that he helped 10 do. We claim that neither lie, Mr. Oury nor any ono else had a right to do so. If the Sisters of St. Joseph were deserving as the Colonel said, then the money should have been taken from the treasury of the Territory, not from school funds that be- longed to all the children Because Calho- lie children are starving Is i; ;rgLt 10 rob and staryc Protestant children to save them when there is public bin 10 supply from Not much. and wc hold that every man who voted for the bill did an injustice to the Public Schools of Arizona.
