THE CONVENTION OF 1864.

Robert,J. Breckenridge, Of Kentucky,
was temporary president In his speech,
as indicating the high patriotic plane
upon which the convention was assembl.
eel in the great national emergency, he
said:
II see before me not only primitive
Republicans and primitive Abolition!sts,
but see also primitive Democrats and
primitive Whlgs-primitive Americans.
and, if you will allow me to say SO,
myself ana here, who all my life have
been in IL party to myself. daughter
and applause I AS Union party will
follow you to The ends of the earth, and
to the gates of death. Applause. But
rs an Abolition party-as Il Republican
party-as Whig party-as Democratic
party-as an American party, will not
follow you one foot. Applause. But
it IS true of the mass of the American
people, however you may divide and
scatter. while this war lasts. while the
country is IN peril, while you Call your
selves as you do in the call of the con-
vention. the Union party-you are for
the preservation Of the Union and the
destruction Of this rebellion, root and
branch" lf
The above speech from the great
Kentuckian indicates that all parties
were represented in that memorable con-
vemton and so it will be again in 1886
when men from all parties shall unite
in nominating IL man who will redeem
this nation from European money slavery.
a slavery ten times more destructive than
was ever Negro slavery. Our nation is
suffering for lack of money TO do busi-
ness with but the old party leaders have
sold out to Rothschid and there is no
hope fer the masses until new party
overthrows present conditions and take
possession of the government as Mr..
Wilmet said in 1860, in his speech quot
ed above. Read it carefully and you
will find that our country is in worse
condition of slavery today than it was in
1860.

The Farmers Leader
LINCOLN IN 1860 AND 1864.

The following extracts from the pro-
ceedings Of the conventions which nomi-
mated Abraham Lincoln will be- found
interesting at this time, as Mr.. W!lmots S
remarks apply to present conditions as
1auch as they did to conditions in 1860.
THE CONVENTION OF 1860.
The convention of 1860 was held in
Chicago, May l6, II and 49, i'm a wigwa
built especially for the purpose. Twenty
four states were represented, including
Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Kentucky,
Missouri and Texas, besides the territor-
les Of Kansas and Nebraska and the
District Of Columbia.
/ Hon. Edwin D Morgan, Of New York,
called the convention to order and David
Wilmot was made temporary president. !.
Mr.. Wilmot, enumeratins the purposes
Of the convention, said that; The
safety Of our liberty, the security Of all
we hold valuable, demands that we
should take possession of this govern
ment and administer it upon these broad
constitutional doctrines that were recog-
| nlzed for the first 60 years OF the exist
ence Of our government-that were
recognized by Washington, by Jefferson,
| by Adams, by Madison, by Monroe, by
Adams the younger, by jackson, by Van
Buren, even down to the time OF Polk,
| when this new dogma was started, that
| the constitution was established to guar.
antee to slavery perpetual existence and
unlimited empire"

WE note in the San Francisco Fix aminer of last week, that suggestion was made at the meeting of the Cali fornia State Board of Health, that the best place for thelr cholera hospital, was on the mesa east of Yuma. The suggestion is about as bright as the one made a few days since by 8n old S;lurian NJ. D. fossil, dug up in the Stockton slough, that as Arizona is Territory, that the State of California would force the United States govern ment to allow that State to quarantine her smallpox and cholera patients on Arizona soil. It is hoped that Gov. Hughes will act in this matter with as much firmness as dld Gov. Murphy last year, when he took this matter in hand, and politely informed the California State officials, that he would mot allow such a thing to be done. It seems im- possible for some peoplet to get the idea through their heads, that California officials cannot run the Territory of Arizona, nor tde United States. govern ment-Sentinel.

THE NEW CHANCELLOR.

Hon. Rochester Ford, the new Chan cellor of the Territorial University, is of the several appointed who have held that exalted and responsible position the first University grRduste. Although h comparatively young in years he Is man of ripe experience as an educator and director in schools of learning. He will take to his future field of labors the
 knowledge thus gaIned and the youths of
 Arizona will be benefited by his dlrec tion and advice.
 Mr. Ford is Kentuckian by birth
 having been born in the city of Louis vile in 1857. In 1871 he removed to St Louis, Mo-, where he graduated from the High school in 1875 and from the collegiate department of the Washing

 highest horrors of the class on a compe

 In 1882, prior to his final graduation

 active and successful member of the
 bar of that city for nearly ten years. Almost immediately after graduating from the St Louis law school he was h. vited to become a member of its faculty which invitiation he accepted and res

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT

The press of the whole country has taken up the question of making the Lincoln monument what it was intended it should be, National shrine nf patriot ism, and there has been much criticism of the State of Illinois for allowing the monument to fall into state of decay, and be used as 8 catch-penny affair by the custodian who has charge. This criticism is unjust in many particulars, but it will continue while the cause re- mains. The monument must be turned over to the State of Illinois before the State can take any action toward re- pairing it and placing a salarie1 GUS todian Tn charge, who will allow visitors to look upon Lincoln's tomb without contributing a fee to the gate keeper.
 We believe that 8 majority of the members of the legislature favor such a change, and will readily pass bill to provide for the State assuming the full responsibility for the care of the monu- ment. Two years ago both houses dropped other bills in the last days of the session to give the Lincoln monu- ment bill the right of way, and It vas passed unanimously and at once signed by the Governor. It was then under stood that the Liocoln Monument Asso- citation would accept the bill and turn the monument oyer to the State. But the gentlemen who compose that associ- ation found some fault W th the provis- ions, and refused to accept the bIl,
 The recent agItati of this question has had its effect on the association and it is sad to be anxious to escape further criticism. Senator Culom is a membe. of the association and is in favor of having the State take full charge of the monument. The Senator is ID Spring
 field and is reported to be urging the change. We sincerely hope that his eff forts will be seconded by Senator John M. Palmer, ex-Goverpor Ozlesby, Hon. Milton Hay, and the other mem bers of the association. If they will draft a bll which they are willing to accept we believe that it will find no op- position in the legislature. There has for many years been a feeling in the legislature that the change should be made, and the great majority of mem bers would be willing to give such bill the right of way now as they did two year ago. But there should be no de- lay ID this matter. The legislature has in all probability only month of its session left, and what is done should be done at once. If the association does not move let the members of the Legislature again take the initiative, and throw the responsibility upon the members of the association for rejecting the of the State. Let them pass a bill accepting the monument and appropriating money for 8 sal

IT is stated that the king pin of the G-strings has been writing to the Ia terior Department and trying to in- duce them to order that the dam of the Florence Canal company be cut, so the water might be allowed to go down to the Indians at Sacaton, rep resent.ng that the Indians are being deprived Of water by the existence of this dam. Such sudden development of tender soilcItude for the welfare of the Indians Is truly touching, especially when the party know thaV the water, at the present stage of the river, would not reach within twenty-five miles of the reservation.

NOTHING will help Tucson more than spirit of cooperation among its citi- Zeps.-Star.
 Now you are shouting Governor. "Co-operation" is the word. We have been looking for it now more than twenty years. But the future IS full of promise and the spirit of cooperation will hover over us like dove when the great millennium dawns. We are all anxious to see the town prosper and put our shoulders to :he wheel to help a good cause along, providing however, that our good intentions can be tagged, check ed and held in tow with a string. We must be able to call them in if there be possibility of our neighbor making anything. We want the town to go ahead and the spirit of cooperation to dwell among us and with us, and be one of us, but we demand two dollars in sight before one can be ventured for the public (?) good. Oh, yes, We want harmony and We want progress and we are as willing to have both at our neighbours expense as he is willing to have them at ours. We are in for boom- ing the town and in common with our fellow citizens hold ourselves in readi- ness to vote "hye" on the most elaborate set of resolutions that can be gotten up, but it must be distinctly understood that the other fellow is to pay the money.

Supt. McInernay formally turned over the Arizona Territorial Prison last Fri day to the new appointee, Wm. K. Meade.
 MT. Meade held the important office of U. s. Marshal from 1885 to 1889 and has since been under sheriff of Cochise county. His administration as marshal was one of the best ever made, and all the business was turned over in good shape to his successor.
 Upon the declination of Thos. Gates to be assistant superintendent, Gov. Hughes commissioned NJ. F. Shaw of Tucson for the place. NIT. Shaw was for two terms sherrlff of Pima county and has a splendid record,
 Dr. Cotter has been recommissioned as prison physician by the Governor.

 Fine as a fiddle, but what's the matter with General Wilson the present incum- bent, holding the salary down for the next year or so? And when he become weary with the tolls and cares of office, what's the matter with Francis J, HeDey that he should not be entitled to favorable consideration? He is one of the brightest young lawyers in the Territory and will fill the office with that characteristic energy and ability that has lined his legal pathway with success.

AMONG the five government directors of the Union Pacific Railway company, appointed thls week, were Hon. Don Dickinson, the gentleman who has been posing as the Warwick of the sdmlnis- tratlon and who sad that he declined to enter the cablnet, and Gen. Fitzaugh Lee, of Virginia, who, it is said, did not ask for this or any other Federal ap- pointment, being an avowed candidate for the United States Senate from his State. Some think that he was given this position to make him withdraw from the senatorial contest, but there is no reason why it should have that effect. It will be easy enough for him to resign this place if he can get elected to the Senate, which will be by no means easy, as he has the liveliest sort of opposition.

The best curative of nal de mer IS Hcsts teT'5 Stomach B,tters, which set les the stomach at once and prevents its disturbance. To all travellers and tourists, whether by sea or land, is pre- sents a happy medium between the nauseous or inefectuai resources of the medicine chest, and the problematical benefit derivable from an uGmedicated alcoholic stiuulant, no matter how pure. The jarring of a railroad car often pro- duces stOmachic disorders akin to that caused by the rolling of ship. For this the Bltters is prompt and certain remedy. The use of a brdckish water, particularly on long voy ages in the tropics, inevitably breeds disorders of the stomach and bowels.

THE CITIZEN today goes back into its old quarters in which it was born 29 years ago at the corner of Main and Congress street. The building has been fitted up in fine shape and is both com fortable and convenient. The reason for vacating our late quarters where We have been for the past five. years, is merely a matter of the price of rent which, by the change, will be reduced from $50 month to less than half that amount. Our new location is fully as good as the old one and the difference saved will go toward making the paper just that much better.

JUDGE KIBBY of the Second Judicial District, Who was recently removed from the office to which Judge Rouse has been appointed, denies the authority of the President to remove and has filed kIs protest against such acton. His commission expires March 6, 1894, and the chances are that he will draw pay without the troubles and trials of office, duripg his entire term. Under a ruling O. the Supreme Court of the United States, judges cannot be removed with out cause. 4 case was tried on one of President Cleveland's Utah judges. He refused to step down and out when President Harrison appointed his sue cessor. He went to the courts ard secured decision in his favor. Of course it did not reinstate him on the bench because of the expiration of his term but he drew his salary to the end of his commission. Judge Kjbby will probably do the same thing.

IT is stated by those who know what is going on in inside administration circles that the reason for the Democra- tic attack on the treaties made by the Harrison administration is that it stands in the way of putting sugar and coffee back on the dutiable list, from which they were taken by the Republi- can Congress. No duty can be levled upon sugar or coffee coming from any country which has a treaty granting their free entry into the United States; hence the determination to wipe out the treaties. The program IS for the administration to get all the recipro- city treaties out of the way before Con- gress get ready to pass the admins tration tariff bill, which is to put duty upon sugar, coffee. and probably tea. The small wage-earners and farmers of theIcountry canot fail to appreciate at its full value thls bit of Democratic ststesmanship, wich will materially in- crease, their living expenses with no possibility of beneiting them to even the slightest extent.
