 pressed hls pleasure at seeing so man

 and from seyenty-eight the roll speedil,
 ran up to one hundred and one. wnici as the Chairman pithily remarked | was just siXty-one more than on tbs | Democratic Club roll, which even 7 Democrat would consider a pretty fai, l majority.

 InrespOnse to a call Col. Zabriskie said that the Republicans had every as surance of future success, and that the Republican party could and would most surely elect the next Congressional Delegate and thus bring the interests Of the Territory in accord with the L, progress and prosperity. The Repub- hcan party now so long in power, had kept its record Uutarnished and up- sullled, and was m itself true exponent of Jacksonian principles which meant eKact, even handed justice to all msu and the greatest goU to the most peo- pie. It was opposed lo nullifcation and secession, both in spirit and practice. and was composed of good men, the brain and sinew of integrity. It has the power to and must elect the next Dele gate from Arizona for the Government of the United States IS at this time closely watching us ss Territory, and would ii Republican be sent to represent us. grant all that reasoning men would re- quIre. It was not, he said, customary for an administration of any political party to grant favOrs to the other. Ari- Eons's present Delegate was au example, but no exception to the rule. Hitherto the government has been much in igno- rance of not only the wants and needs of the Territory, but also of its actual condition, and that he had, in answer to inquiries from Washington, made dur ing the past year, written 6S0 pages of foolscap, and m addition to that had cut and sent slips containing information from newspapers published throughout the Territory. But yesterday he Ie. celVed a telegram from Attorney Gen eral Brewster, making inquiries about the seizure of NIT. Collins goods at Marcy. He had investigated the affair and found that 1t grew out ot personal enmIty of the instiGator, Brown, against NIT. Collins, and that those interested Tn and making the seizure had failed to go even before a Justices Court when sum- moned, consequently the goods were re- turned to MT. Collins, and 80 he i2- formed Mir. Brewster
 Professor Cook was next called on for a speech, and after announcing himself as no speech maker, bat a good Repub- lican of the old free soil stock, siad that he had faith in the Republican party, of whore record every man had right to be lproud, inasmuch as no shadow of shame had ever dlmmed its page In his State, Ohio, the Democrats had in former years, hawked around the hobby of the national debt, but of recent years they were silent on that subject, and were with others anxious to purchase Government bonds that would bring in but 2's per cent. interest yearly, well knowing that the investment will be both paying aud secure. For the past two years he has made Arizona his home and had identified his interests with hers, and would use hIs best efforts and 1niiueucs to forward the prosperity of the Territory along. He believed in an active campaign with view to the cleo tion of Republican delegate, as he was confident that the best interests of the Territory demanded it. To do so would require a personal and united effort. No attention was to be paid to Demo- cratic splits, but raise the Republi- can banner higher and carry it on to assured victory.
 The speech was applauded to the echo throughout, as were those of Judge Smith and Col Zabriskie.
 The meeting then adjourned to meet at the courthouse tomorrow night.
