MIR WALTER LOGAN,
t. whom the country adjacent TO the

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: 1 de-
sire to thank you for the very deli
cate compliment which you and
: Judge Porter have paid to me and
my friends who are here tonight on
vi it, having been invited by Judge
Porter TO look at certain mining in
tercsts in which we have interested
ourselves in the past. came here
last summer and spent few weeks
in your Territory and 1 carried back
with me such glowing accounts of
Arizona, of this fertile valley, that
surrounds Phoenix, of the mineral
wealth in your mountains, of your
hospitabile sons and beautiful daugh-
tiers, that, slthOugh L am considered
a man of velacity In my own coun-
try, my friends regarded Inc as lu-
gentlemen to report on my sanity.
As far as l have been able to Judge,
however, from their faces and words,
l think the story they will tell on
their return will so for exceed mine
as TO speedily acquit me of any !
charges of insanity or want of YER
acity. 1 have a good deal of faith
in Arizona. have sc here about
Phoenix as fine country as Prov
idence, in its kindness, makes. I
have ,een your citizens and expert
enccd their kindness and hospitality
and 1 have mide the acqu aintance
of your old CT izen, Judge Porter. L
came here for the purpose of making
his acquaintance, and L found that
the righteousness of his decisions
were only eoualed BY the elo1uerce
of his speeches when candidate for
Congress. 1 believe that this Terri
tory of yours is destined to be a
grand and glorious Slate, wealthy
and prosperous State, and l expect :
when one more star shall be added
to our glorious flag for the State of
Arizona, that our old friend Judge
Porter, if he reforms and becomes a
good Democrat, will take his seat in
he Senate chamber, perhaps in one
IF the seats that have been occupied
1y Clay, Calhoun, or Webster, and
hat he will occupy that position
With the digaIly of his predecessors.
Gentlemen, if any of you should ever II
:omc to New York and visit me at d
i Wall street, may not recognize 9
7our faces, but if you will tell me i
-ou are from Phoenix, you Will find
n me friend.
Mr.. Logan's remarks were greeted

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I feel !,

hing that can say. 1 feel sincere h
Y grateful to you all, and to Judge :,
