CONGRESS-, A. T., Oct. sS--ISpeeial correspondence to the JovRsAL-MlSER. From the description gwen in the the courier of the republican rally, accustomed by the Hon Geo. W. Chey- ney's visit to Prescott, one is led te believe that Mir. Cheyney's true worth and manliness is being appreciated. !, is very evident that the Courier tried hard to So report the meeting as to prejudice its readers against him. It could not, however, change the fact that hundreds of people turned out to welcome him, wkioh is the best evil dence one can have of a mans popular ity, and is is right they should turn out. This Is mining country, and Mr. Cheyney is mining man and friend to the miner
 In this camp there are a number of old Tombstone boys. and in them, George ss We call him, has true friends and stong supporters, and the Courier is making mistake when 1t tries to misrepresent Mir. Cheyney to those who know him. Mark Smith would ge. beautifully left if the vote for delegate wss left to the miners. The territory is full of men who know George .aversbly, and they will no. for get him election day. We don't claim that he is great speech maker, and yeu won't find many mea that are who follow mining for a liying trying tc get $io out oi ss rock. Such men are in much closer sympathy with the labor ing classes than tbe man Smith, who oilers you nothing fer your vote but the
 reputation o. being good ,alker, and that gift put to. mighty bad use when Il is appealed to to defend gang of rob bers against the Government, oi which be is s sworn member
 If this camp gees for Mir. CheyDey which it will, ss every mining camp
 and every industrial section of the ter ritory should, and he is elected, 1t will b from the fact that he, in the iudg ment ef the people, Is the best man tc send to Congress II MT. Smith sue eceeds in being reelected, 1t will lhav' been accomplished by the solid Nor mon vete--s disgraeeiul condition oI things for even the democrats to look forward to. Notwithstanding, it is cheering fact to note, that many demo !. crats will vote for Mir. Cheyney on tha, ! account, if for no ether. They do no 1 care te be placed on par with th' man without a principle, that does th' bidding oi such an organization as the Mormon church, whose teachings have been so disgustingly vile. until. io political purposes, within the past tw' ! months, they have discarded some ol the most damning features. Let u wait and see the result.
 Mfr. Smith has been in Congress twS terms, without doing anything for th' territory, and we believe the people wi ! try Geo. W. Chsyney.
 The Courier compares Smiths deei
 interest and earnest defense of th'
 wham robbers ('snd devils, as th ! Courier calls them), with the deeds an' records of such men as Vest. Vorhees
 Edmunds, Allison, Reed and Brecken ] ridge. And then expects its readers (
 be.guided by what 1t says politically There was a time when the Courier had some influence with the voters o
 the county, but just such stuff as daily appears in its celumns now s-days re' garding Smith and Cheyney, IS ias | removing the possible little left.
