Ovation to Bean and Iona

the grandest political demonstrate
that has ever taken place IN Mar

the largest gathering of any kin
the county has ever seen.
The occasion was, of course, tn
Republican rally in honor of tn
head of the ticket in the Territory
the Hon. e. G. Bean, candidate 70
Delegate to Congress, and the secon,
name on the ticket, Hon. r. L. Long
candidate for Superintendent O
Public Instruction.
A meeting of the Republican
Club was called for 7 O'Clock IN tn,
evening, at which time the member:
of the club, which now numbers
about 200 were promptly on hand
A large number of torch lamps were
distributed among the members, bul

a fourth enough for all who desired
to take part in the parade.
] At 7:30 the parade formed on Mar
icopa street, opposite the club room,
and, headed by the band, marched
up Washington street to the Lemon
Hotel where 1t countermarched and
passed down Washington street to

ing. The procession then continued
down the street to the courthouse
plaza, where large bonfres had been
built and large number of seats
provided.
The band was escorted to the ups
per veranda while the meeting was
called to order and the officers of
the club and of the evening, together
with the speakers, occupied the low

Mr.. j B. Creamer, Chairman of
the Republican club, called the as

look their seats.
Capt. Calderwood then proceeded
TO open the regular business OF the
evening in most felicitous manner
by at once introducing the hero of
the occasion, Col. e. C. Bean.
Col. Bean then proceeded for more
than an hour TO make most happy
IF hand speech, by turns amusing
lis listeners in the m ost adroit man
ner, and again deeply interesting
them in the questions of the day |
the Territory and the
ation.
The Colonel is possessed of vast
und of anecdote and a varied per-
onal experience, which he draws
lpon with the greatest skill and
most happy effect. He is the Re-
publican candidate for Delegate to
Congress at the earnest. solicitation
If his friends. He had not felt that
lie could afford the necessary ex~
'ense the candidacy would entail,
nd if the certificate of election
hould come TO him it would come
unbougbt, as he had scarce
= money 10 pay ne &c sssry expenses
f the trip.
He believed in Arizona with all

Former Delegates, as Steven,
ampbell and Curry, had done little

He did not believe that "all's fair

presented as having insulted the

front. He believed, however, that
hen a man was elected to such an

position should rise above narrow
airy hounds, and that he was sure,
nat should he be elected. Demo-

He then referred to the great po-
