congress.
 AMONG the speakers last night was Peter Brady, the veneered and thin skinned (according to confessed judge mentD statesmen from Pinal. Mir. Brady did not speak however. He recited an advert isement which had been standing m the Star for some days telling what he will do when he gets to the council which is an impossiblity MT. Brady and devoted the r-mainder of a few childish remarks to abusing and yillifying Mr. Meek of the Epitaph, Mir. Gill of the Republican, MT. w. c. Davls, Mir. Herbert Penney, MT. Herbert Brown, and the CITIZEN of this city.
 We desire to pay especial attention to this irrascible old mans remarks. We intend to show the people of Tucson how uncalled for, how ungentlemanly,
 how contemptible they were.
 Peter Brady has been nominated d for councilman-at-la large for the Southern district which includes the counties of Pima, Cochise, Yuma, Gila, Pinal, Ora nam. as nomlnee he IS public property So far as JUST CRITICISM is concerned,a ,and We take pleasure in presenting the thin skinned party from Pinal with much needed book on manners. if he will show wherein the CITIZEN has done him an injustice
 If Mir. Brady reads the CITIZEN he knows that he uttered a deliberate we'll a deliberate lie, when he said this paper charged him with stealing or cor ruption. We have said on more occasion than one that we did not ques- ton the integrity of Peter Brady for we have had 10 reason to do so. We have said that We believed he was an hon estly disposed man, in business affairs, but we have also said and we repeat B'rer Brady that there was CoRRUP- TIoN AND THEFT IN THE PRISON GANG, of which you were Chairman. Why was it r. Brady that you did not answer the question last night concerning the checks, which were turned in from the U. S. Marshal's office. and have not been heard Of since. Is q few thousand dol lars so trivial? Or is the reputation of democracy 50 sweet, and the fear of soiled linen 50 terrifying that even
 honest Peter Brady remained silent. If Mir. Peter Brady expects by this ostrich like performance to delude tho public into the belief was there nothing
 in this, heis laboring under. mental hallucination. If he intends by his ''be- l jasus" attitude on the rostrum and talk
 of "blud" and goin' to remember this after the campaign" lingo to muzzle
 the press he is again mistaken. These ideas Mir. Brady must bs extracted from your cabeza, or a painful swelling will
 set in The great American press can Tot be muzzled by bandana; it can't
 be checked up by relic; it can't be
 piked in the middle of the campaign by the smell of "blud" or such bum- -fzzle
 as liam a bully-boy- with glass eye"
 MT. Brady, In the good old days when
 you were in full possession of your men,
 tai faculties, we are told by tradition that it was customary to wear half a dozen c.lt's about the abdomen and in
 the bootlegs, and bowie between the teath. This was d at 10 be proud of and the man who could not boast of frican- deau of man. meat for breakfast, stood no chance Of polILcal or social eleva
 tion. But these days are of the past
 Mr. Brady. They are consigned to memory along with SIxleen-String- Jack" and the man with seven wifes. Arizona has entered upon new era of civilization. The sound of the pick on the mountain side, and the blow in the tallow and the lowing of cattle is heard above the click of the stage robbers pistol And one of the rights of this civilization, Mir. Brady, IS free speech, and free thought. The CITIZEN has never misrepresented you, and never will, Mr. Brady, nor any other man in tentionally. None are so blind as those who will not see, and the fault we find with MT. Brady's official actions is that he has been led by men to whom hon esty is an unknown quantity and who have been using Peter Brady's reputa- ton as a cover for their slippery schemes.
