A Gala Day in Flagstaf-The Largest and most Interesting Meeting oi the Cam Ilal1n-

NCNSi, III tuS uiStOi) VI Ii'SStdii was there seen such an outpouring o the people as that of Wednesday eve ming, Oct. 2oth, under the direction of the Cleveland & Hendricks club the sound of guns, the flare of th' great bonfire and the excellent anC inspiring music of the Flagstaff bras band, called together in the large hall south of the railroad track, whicl had been tastefully decorated and ar ranged for .he occasion. Nearly tn, entire populace of our town, men women and children, assembled il large numbers to express the esteem in which the nominees of the demo cratic party in this county are held 1T the Chicago of the west, and assur, them of support at the polls on nex' Tuesday. It is night to be remem- bered, and the democrats are jubilan while the few republicans here art correspondingly Respondent.
 MIR. THoS. G. NORRIS,
 prominent lawyer of our town, call ed the meeting to order, and in few appropriate and we'll timed remark: introduced
 HON. A. CORNWALL,
 of Mohave county, candidate fol Joint Councilman, as the first speaker oi the evening. MT. Cornwall dis cussed the needs of the district he has been nominated to represent, in a plain, sensible, matter of fact manner; reviewed his record in the legislature four years ago, and left the audience with the impression that the interests of the masses may be in,rusted to his care with certainty of receiving all possible attention.
 MIR. JOHN J. HAWKINS,
 of Prescott, was next introduced as a candidate for Probate Judge, and pro- ceeded to instruct the audience in the duties attached to the office to which he aspires. He expressed himself clearly upon educational measures that have been wofully neglected un- der republican supervision, ard gave assurance of an earnest effort, if cleo ted, to promote the increase and effc iency of our public schools. Our peo. pie have faith in MT. Hawkins abili- ty and integrity, and will remember and compliment him with large vote on the fourth of November.
 The Chairman, in very felicitouS manner, introduced as the next speak CT our fellow townsman,
 DR. D. j. RRANNEN,
 for the House of Represen tatlves At the conclusion of the hu- morous, witty ard altogether happy remarks of MT. Norris, the Doctor was received with a storm of applause which indicates more fully than we can express the confidence and esteem m which he is held by those who know him best. The Doctor spoke of needed county and territorial gov ernment, and named several acts which he would approve and endeav- or, if elected, to have become laws. He referred to the desire of the dem- ocrats in the county to give all DOT tions representation, and dwelt at length upon the qualifications of the democratic nominees for the leglsla- ture, to ably and honorably discharge the duties of law makers. Our citi- zens know and we trust the people of the county at large likewise know that they will best subserve their own in terests by giving Dr. Brannen rous, ing majority on next Tuesday.
 C. B. RUSH,
 our able District Attorney, and can didate for re election, was the next speaker. We have not the space to give even an epitome of his able and eloquent address. Suffice it to say hat in refutation of the charges made against him he was explicit and em- phatic; in denunciation of some oft republican acts oi the last legislature, positive and severe; in an appeal for support of the democratic ticket, earn ,st and cogent. All are loud in their praise of Mr. Rush, and will manifest heir appreciation by voting for him )n the first Tuesday in November.
 MIR. W. J. MULvENON
