 Judge Haynes at once introduced the hrst speaker of the evening,
 HON. F. W. GREGG.
 Candidate for District Attorney. vbo spoke Tor half an hour ID a highly iu- terestlng manner upon national and local Issues, giving careful review of the personnel ot the respective candl- dates In advocating the claims of Col. Dean Tor election as Delegate 10 Con gress, the speaker touched upon an idea that awoke responsIve echo in the heart ot every nearer. He gave an illu- stratlon of the greater advantages de- rived by Territory in eleciing Del egate to Congress whose political affilia ton Is Tn harmony with the administra- ton, n the present flourishing condi- tlon or Colorado, State that began its Territorial career under Republican auspices and has ever since continued ln harmony with that party. 1t Is DOW happy and prosperous Republican State, and one that Arizona will feel proud to follow in the wake. Mir. Gregg touched upon the Mormon question in reply to point made by Col. Beu Nor gan on Monday night, and closed with a brilliant eulogy on the Republican party.
 CEN. H. G. ROLLINS, Candidate for member of the Assembly. was next introduced. General Rollins Is clear, forcible and eloquent orator, and one seldom tires If listening to hls ringing speeches. He took up the ques- ton Of railroad subsidies that had been Us an evil originating with the party, and produced docu- ments favoring land grants as early as lSI5-6-7 by John c. Calhoun, chairman of a congressional committee. lie quoted from congressional records the fact that a Democratic Congress had passed acts that were approved by Franklin Pierce, a Democratic Presl- dent of the United States, granting al- ternate sections of public land to aid in the construction of railways and other in various States aud Terri | tories. from the then Territory of Min l nesota, on the northwest, to Florida on | the southeast, and throughout the States l both north aud south.
 Gen. Rollins then gave his attention l to the Territorial aud county ticket, | dwelling at len yth upon the quaiifica- | tions of the respective candidates. He | said that the people m local elections | like the present would look to the per sonal qualifications of the candidate, | rather than to his political alfillatiln. This is a contest where honest manhood | is demanded and fitness for the duties required above all other considerations. All other qualifications being equal, he would give the preference to his party but not other wise.
 Gen. Rollins closed his able speech by giving d careful analysis of the pro- tective policy of the Republicans and its direct advantages to the laborer and and he paid an honest and glowing tribute to the dignity of the masses who toil.
 COL. II. A. BIGELOw, Of Prescott, told what kind of Colonel ne was. He defined the appellation of 'Hassayamper" and brought down the house with his peculiar expressions. He talked for half an hour in his ad- 7ocaCy of the cause of Colonel Bean and J. l.. Long, and then gave way to the last speaker of the evening, that eloquent veteran orator
 JUDGE R. D. FERGUSON. Owing to the lateness of the hour and the chillness of the atmosphere, Judge Ferguson stated that he would not at .empt the speech he had contemplated making in reply to the address of Ben. Morgan, but would simply make a few remarks. His exDan- tive political knowledge was made manifest in the range of his speech, and ne met frequent applause. He made mention of ludicrous remarks of cer- ain local Democratic newspaper, which were indeed Imaginable. In his alluslon 70 the desire of the Democrats to count he S45O, 100000 in the United States treasury, the speaker made some very happy hits.
 As whole, the meeting wss a grand success and accomplished much good. Dne pleasant feature was the presence ,f very many ladies who were attentive listeners to the truths spoken by the
