 wise counsel and good government tn, } Republican Club as formed, fee , confident of ultimate success On the election of Colonel Zabriskie he made a neat and telling little speech wherein he stated the Republican party was never stronger than to-day, and aF
 it had never yet encountered defeat il was far from probable that such thing
 could happen now, when there is unIty
 in he national council, the nations
 deb. steadily decreasing, the financial
 status Of the country cannot be bettered
 and with prosperity prevailing in every
 State the Republican party have less to
 fear in the shape of defeat than ever be-
 fore
 r. K. Miller was then called upon and
 although he disclaimed the idea of be-
 ing politician, he believed it to be a
 duly incumbent on him to exert his in-
 tiuence for the success of the Republican
 party, for by so doing it would bring
 most good to the people and country at
 large. The Republican party, he said,
 was as a whole, made up of men
 thoughtful and intelligent reasoners,
 each one q peer of his fellow man, who
 by reading and thinking had acquired a knowledge of men and principles that best fitted them, not only for the duties
 of American citizenship, but for control of the General Government which for twenty years past they had so ably and lntelligently managed. The principles of ReDubhcanism are such that no good man need turn from them with shame, and although, here in Arizona, under the Territorial form of government, we have no voice in the councils of the nation, it Is well that the organization be kept up and be in accord with that of the administration.
 Judge Berry was the next to address the meeting and expressed his pleas ure m seeing so much interest taken in the coming campaign. For twenty years he had been a resi- dent of this Territory and had formerly advocated non-draw- ing of the party line, believing that the prosperity of the Territory could best be assured by the selection of a good man irrespective Of his political principles and affiliations, and while this policy was pursued they had good men to represent the interests of the Territory at the capital of the Nation. By and by the Democrats begun to draw the party lines and statesmanship was forced to succumb to men of like politi- cal principles as those of delegate Oury. Personally he respected him greatly and believed him entitled to it, but with his avowed sentiments he was at open war and believed that a man who openly expressed his belief and as late as 1876 swore by God, that secessiOnism was iustiiable and right, ought to be rele- gated back to within the peaceful shade Of private life. Had Republicans but done their duty MT. Oury would not have been where he now IS. was, said Mir. Berry, raised a Jacksoniau Demo | crat and as such believe in the preser- vation of the Union with it's govern ment by and for the people. The Demo crats as a rule have done nothing but l oppose and create sectionalism, a some thing to be avoided as a no North and l a no South policy is the one best caleu- | lated to bring prosperity to all and the l country with them move forward in one harmonious whole.
 The concluding speaker was Gergg, who maintained that the people of thls Ter rltory have even stronger reasons for banding themselves together for con- certed political action than have even the people of the States, as upon their action at home and their representation in the Federal capital the great future of Arizona depended. To agriculture as a whole we make no pretensions, but our mines and mineral alresources have a rank among the foremost, but immigration and capital are wanting in their development. With Republicanism goes intelligence, thrift and recognized guarantee that of labor and capital will be and are protected. Colorado was Re publican and because of 1t men and money sought homes and investments and to-day Colorado is acknowledged as one of the most vigorous, most thrifty and intelligent of States, and Oregon re- the force of such truths has shaken offthe lethargy of Democratic -ule that for the past several years bas her onward march and has ionned the garments of Republicanism lll over the entire State.

Capital, intelligence and hrift would make their home among us, 'ur mines would be developed, the in- richness of our Territory would become better known and ere ong 1t would take its place among the 'tates and in intelligence and wealth ie with Colorado for the front rank.
