 oaiu: Those who expected to hear from hIm a well prepared speech would be disappointed, but as au American and citizen Oi the land, he aIaays 8 teIJ a deep interest In political affairs, and was at all times wiling tO add ms small influence lu tle cause of cl-15 ana truth.
 h l.cal elections he believed ll yot- ing for the man rather than the parJy; but in great national Issues he stood up squarely for party nominees. He was htty-five years of age and Was uey- CT yet a Democrat. lie made a retro specuve view Of political parties m Ohio, when he was quite a young man, and gave the orIgln Ol the RepuUhcau party. For twCuty years the Re publican party has held the rcIus oI government, and Its great works are . the monuments Of its wonderful great ness. It ls the policy of jue Republican party that gave the labOriug man the coveted opportunities to work. 1t I5 the Repupncau enterprise that has opened Up vast fields of labor for all classes from the raw lubOrer to the skilled artisan. iLe pollcy pursued by the Republican party Is to protect the industries of the country. Notwithstanding the great Ourdeu of debt upon the shoulders of the nation, under its fostering care great industries have sprung up until our manufactures control the ma kets oi the world. The speaker gave a statistical statement oi tue rise and growth of these industries and showed that the protective pOhcy of the Government mad made these things possible. IL was clalmed by a Democratic speaker that thls protective policy mad brought lUuuOJ English workmen into Pennsylvania. That IS what We want. Nolid to God that ten million of them would come, in lSGI the entire taxable property In the ultel States was thirteen thousand millions of dollars, and IL lsSU It was fifty thousand mIlllOu-oveT fuur-foldmcreas H. tweu- ty years. and he asked If tlIs could be called kepuUlIcaa mIsruIe. lie eX- posed the working. of the English free trade policy and .Ia grinding effect upon all it's depeuCeucICs and colonies, and cOutrasted the lrOtectINe policy uI the Republican par. with It, showing the many adyautagea of tine iatter. Le owed nov the SOutu, instead %. send ing her cotton to English nanUtac- tJ rIes Is bringing her cotton mills be- side her cotton fields and k opening up an era of unprecedented prosperity that lu ten years hence Wlu astuulsl the world. IL Is claimed by the Democratic speakers that the Republican party I- not a friend of the poor man. Who eI- acted a homestead law SD that a man could obtain farm even though he had no money? It also created the green backs, when the Democrats claimed that they would bankrupt the country, and yet Ereruugcks were very soon worth their face after they were issued, and are HOW the equivalent of gold.
 The spela@r paId triDute Co tle local ticket. Slrr.il Paul, -e felt crr- tain, would receive d large number of Democratic votes. He had been tried l and was always found fearless and capable officer.
 The Democrats had uumilasei man . for District Attorney who had openly . 8Oasted iu convention that be had be- gun voting the Democratic tIsket .t . eighteen years of age and had been voting lt ever since. Was that good ! recommendation lu a candidate: HIs ! openent, Judge Smith, IS au -ule anu efficient attorney, with a splendid -e- ] pItatIOn at stake and would i'll She
 office with honor.
 The speaker made strong and feel | ing plea for the provision of home for ] the poor, and rapidly passing away ! pruspectors Of Arizona, a theme which carried tne whole sympathy ul tLe audience, and closed his remarks amId deafeuing applause. lie was loudly l applaudeG at brief intervals and, as a ! a whole. e made a most telling and | spirited speech.
 After music by the band tho chair man introduced
 lII.. c. C.. STEPHENS,
 ] Who had been called upon 90 supp. y ] the place of Judge Robinson, who was 1 absent from the city. Nr. Stephens ] apologized for having to speak without preparati u. having been informed only n few hours previous that he was expected to speak. lie began hy trying . to show what the mission 0f the Demo- cratic party really was. and cted the | n.f rF ] in its every undertaking, and the utter ! failures which followed. Ihry had ] been for twenty years trying to find ont l exactly what the party was intended To ! perform. lie thought that Ii a Demu- ! crar c0uld but rub ont the l record of that party In the last twenty l SIX years, he would willingly ior1go hIs whisky for SIX m0nths-as great 60 sacrl- ] flee as the average Democrat can uossI- | blv make. The speaker brought up the | memory of Andrew Jacks D, and asked ! what he would have done had he been iu Buchanan's $ char when the rrSelIcn 1 began. South Carolina would have ! gone into the mountains and remained i there for at least four years While the ! Republican party had undoubtedly
 made mistakes It had made America a l great country, second tp none other ID | world.
 He arraigued the Democratic party as the millstoue about the neck Of the na- ton, and showed its Rip Van WInkle ! ideas and its general inconsistencies. He portrayed the nonsense Iu return ing co Congress tLe great incompetent ] who has succeeded so admirably -n ms reureseutnE ArI1Ora and dolug uoti.I. z else He saw lu Republican success a new growth for Ar.zoua, s-u influx of lu- ] talliEent men and capital abundant to develop our great and wonderful re sources. When Arizona goes Eepau.l-
 can 1t will not be long before, by laFl-
 tation, Arizona wlll be knocking at tat
 doors of Congress for admission into
 the great sistsruood of States.
 The speaker made many salient Iolnis
 and WIS appiaUded irequeAtly. The . whole meeting was a rousIug and enthu-
 siastic demonstration, and pre~iEes earnest action and certain success hy
 the Republicans of Pima county.
 The Club adjourned until next Friday
 night. October 21th when other speakers
 will be provided.
