Arizona republican., 1890-10-26
THE SAME OLD SONG Sung by Democrats at the Meeting Last Night. Smith Praises the Board
 of Supervisors. Parish Talks Tariff, While Zulick Abuses the Opposition and
 Its Candidates.

Probably the weakest and most pureile arguments that have been used at any political gathering during this or any other campaign were resorted to last night at the Democratic speaking at the Opera House.
 w. T. Smith opened the mill with a speech of about five minutes in which he used some of Eternity Cox's notes, to account for the shortages in the Super visor's accounts. A disposition was made of them that satisfied him in that time, and he introduced Harris Baldwin, who started out with sober sense and ended with the vaguest of efforts 70 prove the domination of capi- tai over the masses through Republican administration. In his theory 250 mil bill and controlled the legislation of the Republic of America and the balance of population of GA, ,000,00 of people were surfs and vandals to the dictation of that 250 rulers. He indulged little in flights of fancy and retired without creating any noticeable emotion or com motion.
 E. J. Edwards followed, condemning Republicans and Republicanism, and eulogizing Democrats and Democracy. He made some sort of reference to court decisions, granting salaries to.appointed officers, as against Democratic claimants who had held over after the appoint ment of their successors. He talked too of the action of some municipal conven- tion in Texas, wherein negro supremacy was purported to be menacing the free exercise of white minority vote to the extent that the white vote could not rule and attempted to make a point against the federal election bill by asserting that tie convention was Republican. He didn't blame the mi nority because he did not believe there could be social equality between them and the negro, and furthermore did not believe there was anyone within the hearing of his voice that would like to "sit between two big niggers' and take a smell of them" He wound up by giving the Democrats who were inclined to be soreheaded Gas he very delicately put it) the advice to "Hate snakes, fear God, love the women and vote the straight Democratic ticket"
 Mir. Parish was next introduced and thought life was too short to attempt to deny the accusations made by certain newspapers. He dwelt upon certain steals of the Thirteenth Legislature, in which clerks drew enormous salaries and unreasonable appropriations had been made, the fact ostensibly excusing any corruption of the present Demo- cratic local administration. The tariff received its quota of Farishous theory and cotton-velveteen cloak and tin plate were duly mentioned. It was due Governor Zulick that this coun- try had been saved from a threat ened doom of bankruptcy about the time of his ascension to the Arizona Gubernatorial chair. He proposed, too, when he got in the Legislature to consign certain unneces- sary Territorial offices to the which ness of the whenceness, among them the office of Commissioner of Immigra- tion. Cts dn unnecessary office nOi0.)
 c. Meyer Zulick made short speech devoted, essentially, to venomous per sonalities and charged Governor Powers with being an agent of J. Addison Reavis and co-conspirator, in that he established and reported certain boun- daries while in the employment of the Surveyor General of the Territory (whose report to the commissioner oi the general land office effectually killed the claims of Reavis SO fan as the action of that department was concerned) and produced certain aflidavits to establish the charge. Mir. Zulick closed the ex- ercises by conjuring every Democrat to rebuke with their votes at the polls the onslaught made on honest aspirants to office by the imported printer whose assets were a pencil, or piece of paper, and Q paper collar.
