 Before the Voters.
Bursts of Music and Floods of Ora-
 an Era In the Canvass.

There was more than sprinkling of ladies in the audience which filled Gar. diners hall last night to listen to the persuasive eloquence of the Republi- can chieftains. County Chairman Mo- Cord presided and opened the meeting by introducing Professor Thomas Glee club, which rendered an original cam. paign song which was received with great applause.
 Mir. McCord made brief, but strong and convincing. address. He lucidly showed the benefcent results which have resulted to this country at large from the Republican policy of protect i've tariff. He charged the shrinkage of values in cattle in Arizona from SC, ,OOO ,OOO to $2,OOO,O0O to the iniqui- tous Wilson bill, and to the same Dem ocratic legislation many other ills which have befalIen Arizona.
 The Glee club, consisting of Messrs. Benham, Perley and Coggins, then rendered "The Dimmycrats," which was uproariously encored.
 Hon. Jerry Millay was the first speaker. He referred to the Democratic argument that if the election shall go Republican our chances for statehood are small. He reminded his audience that the same argu- ment was used in the last city campaign and denounced it as all gam mon He said the leading Democrats of Arizona had lost sight of statehood and jeopardized our chances for it by squabbing among .&emselVes for office. He said that he was almost convinced that there was not an honest man among the leaders of the Democratic party and believed they mad convinced congress of the same. He referred to the prosperous condition of the coun- try at the time of entrance of the Dem ocratic party into it's present term of power, exports imports and manufac- lures were shown to have been in con dition unprecedentedly favorable. The subsequent deterioration was then DOT traved. He deprecated the laws which permit cattle raised by peon labor in Mexico and allowed to enter free of duty and compete with American l sheep.
 Referring to the $1, 100 which ex- l Gov. Murphy is charged with having drawn illegally, he said that Chief Jus tice Baker had expressed legal opinion ! previous to the issuance of that war rant, that Gov. Murphy was entitled 1 to it.
 The merits of honest Jim Doran who came into Arizona before the rail roads with his burro, pick and rifle and helped to pave the way for civilization were eloquently pictured. His expert ence in the Arizona legislature was ad duced as an atgument in favor of his election. Mir. Millay closed by an ap- peal for support for the county ticket.
 Judge Street who had been an- nounced as one of the speakers, was unable on account of painful affection of the throat to be present. His warm Republicanism and his intimate ac euaintance with public affairs have made him a figure at Republican meet ings and last night his absence was con- sequentIy matter of deep disappoint- ment. He gives assurance though that he will be seen and heard by e Phoenix audience before the close of the cam paign.
 Perry Wildman, of Tempe, candidate for the legislature, made an earnest party speech. It was the speech of thoughtful, modest, educated gentle man sure of his ground and firm in, his conviction. Like the good business man that he is, he placed the matter of the selection of county officers before the people in business way and guaran- teed each of the Republican candidates to be all wool, yard wide and war rant not to shrink nor shirk from duty.
 J A. Marshall, also candidate for the assembly, beginning at the top of the county ticket enumerated the candi- dates and the special merits of each one, nor emitting a modest plea for Black smith Marshall, representative of the laborer and mechanic.
 c. w. Grouse, candidate for probate judge. spoke upon the subject of special fitness for office. Ills eighteen years of experience in the school house should he thought ought to count for more even than that he is a Republican. MT. Grouse promised, in the event of his election, an improvement in the schools of Maricopa county, in the method and system of their manage ment.
 W. F. McNulty, who is making the race for sheriff, has a good voice. He started off with few humorous allus- ions to his own personal beauty which pleased the audience. He promised to
