Mr.. Johns, permanent Chairman, made
an address, and in referring to Blaine, he
said: 1t is my good fortune to have known
Blaine intimately for 30 years. l have
watched his career during all this time
with unusual interest, and l have never
known any man to be actuated by fewer
motives or governed by a higher standard
of morals. His lofty patriotism and
splendid abilities are recognized and ac-
knowledged everywhere. He is always
on the American side in every ques-
ton. These virtues and these accomplish
ments / account for by his wonderful
magnetism and for his nearness to the
hearts OF the American people. The speaker
said the Democratic party must be held to
its record Of free trade and a tariff for rev.
enue only. After abiding to Logsn's
splendid record, he said in conclusion
that with such candidates and such princi-
pies as are set forth in the platform sue
cess is assured. The victory will be ours
in November as surely as the sun will bless
us with it's light. DR.. Mcclure of Massa-
chusetts was proxy for Horace Davis of
California, G. F. Crocker was proxy for
Thomas Wren of Nevada, j. N. Dolph was
proxy for J. I. Aperson of Oregon, d. P.
Pride was proxy for s. M. CONN of Idaho.
Fatal Shooting Scrape.
PRESCOTT, A. T., June 26.-Prescott was
last night the theater Of a fearful shooting
scrape, which resulted in the almost in.
slant death Of Phil Riley and the wound

E. Jenkins, of G. Company, First Infantry
Of the United States Army. The trouble
originated and the shooting occurred in
the Sazerac saloon on Garley street. Riley
had been playing faro, and a dispute arose
between him and AL. Cook. The by-stand'
ers are not certain as to who fired the first
shot. There were seven shots fired, one Of
which gave Riley his death wound, and
two more of which inflicted dangerous and
perhaps fatal wounds upon two by-stand.
ers, who were in no way mixed up in the
row.. The parties who did the shooting
were arrested, and are now in the Sheriff
custody.
