STATEHOOD RALLY. An Enthusiastic Meeting of BenSOn'S Citizens. II. E. Collins of Phenix Makes a Gra..d Speech in Support of Statehood - Benson is
 Loyal for Pro-
 gress,
BENSON, Nov. IT.

BENSON, Nov. IT.
 ED. PRogPECTOR Knowing your warm advocacy of self government and the splendid effort you are mak- ing in behalf of statehood, take the liberty of writing this short article.
 For several days past the question of statehood has been discussed by the citizens of Benson and surrounding sections, and it was with a degree of pleasure that we noted the arrival Of J. O. Dunbar and ME. Collins oi Maricopa county, in our city to dis cuss this important subject with our people. MT. Dunbar is an old-timer in this section and has a host of warm friends among our citizens, and MT. Collins is one of the respected men Of our western neighbor, Maricopa.
 The posters put mp iD various sec tions of the town by Supervisor Bry- ant informed our people that the speaking would be in Pythian hall at ' 30, and hither in large numbers went the ladies and gentlemen of Benson to listen to the discussion.
 H. Gerwein of this town called tIre meeting to order and in few we'll chosen remarks introduced Major J. E. Montanden, of the N, NJ. < A. railroad, as chairman, who introduced NJ. E. Collins to the audience as the speaker Of the evening.
 MT. Collins did not daily with the subject but went at once to work to present she question, and for one hour and thirty minutes spoke in his csndid and eloquent manner. Few men are as gifted as this gentleman. and his sledge hammer blows deliver ed in support of self government and statehood elicited the hearty applause of his listeners, and had Poston or Phenix or Wright of Tucson been present they would undoubtedly have learned how they stood in the estima- ton of the sturdy citizens of this thriving town. MT Collins took up the frivolous objections urged against the constitution, and in a masteily unanswerable manner demonstrated the absurdity of the conclusions put forth by federal office holders and their assistants. l would write the speech in full as took U dow, but presume your space will not admit O it's publication. Suffice it to say that when the speakers concluded their re marks, there was not one single op- ponent c! statehood in she town.
 Major Mon'anden, who stands high " in the estimation of our people, spoke at length in advocacy of the constitution, ahd.siiowe,i in convin- cing manner that the hopes of Arizona lies in the pathway of statehood.
 Both the Major and MT Collins were loudly cheered and the meeting adjourned with three rousing cheers for the state of Arizona
 You can gay to your readers NIT. PRosPEcToR that the thriving town Oi Benson will give almost a solid vote for the constitution.

THE following tribute to the worth of CocIiise county republicans is from the Mohave Minei: "Ths fact that nearly all the statehood orators are republicans is having a rather de- pressing effect On ih4 anIi-siaiehood journals of this territory. Had a strAighi-out party fiths beea 'nsde on the proposition the constitution would meet certain defeat, but it was found that the thinking, brainy me0 of the republican party in this territory had the welfare oi our sunny land too much at heart to bar it's onward march. Such men as Cheney, Collins and Herring are carrying the southern counties by storm"

Colonel McClure's Rejoinder.

Editor Of the Wutchmdn ALLOW me a
small space in your paper to answer Mr..
Bisbee's long-winded article of April %.
Mr.. Bisbee squarely denies having had any
communication with Mr. Dyer in reference
to the complaint at his office on the night
of March %, 1889. One of the executive
committee appointed at the headquarters
of the organization in Barre said in court,
under oath, that Mr.. Bisbee did inform Mr.
Dyer on the 23d in regard to the complaint
made at his Office on the 22d. SO the public
has the statement of an honest Scotchman
under oath and branless crank. One
thing is worthy of note: Mr.. Bisbee's near
relative in the office with him had a bad
leaking at the mouth and declared on the
streets in Barre and Montpelier that Ed.
was not fool enough to take up any labor
trouble" That didn't look as though he
was anxious to find evidence. Bisbee
further says the case could not stand alone.
1t did stand without any of his assistance.
All who know Mr.. Bisbee say he is a sue
cess. 1t is not my intention to detract any
thing from his reputation and good name,
but my sincere desire is to let the dead
rest JACOB MCCLURE.
