Arizona republican., 1894-04-29

dences of being able to spell his name. At any rate it had been spelled and lay across his stomach. The critical members of the audience however found fault with the orthography; the name was spelled wrong; they thought it should have been p. A. N. T. s. Homer McNelll was second, Charley Ming stood next beside John Hickey. Andy Thoman stood at tho foot.
 A Question of Clothes.
 Chairman Heyman intr oduced Joseph Campbell as Exhibit "A" and before he could be restrained he burst into oratory and the chairman was filled with regret. Mr. Campbell went daft on statehood. The world had knocked of doing anything until after the election in Phoenix, and not cog would be moved until after tomorrow night. If kellner was elected the mil lennium would be inaugurated next day; if not, the devil would foreclose on the whole plant. From the subject of statehood MT. Campbell began find ing fault with the plainness of Jim Monihon's clothes and contrasted them with the gorgeousness of Mir. Kellner's apparel.
 After considering the subject of "clodings" the ora tor spoke of the per sonal conduct of the same gentleman. ''If Jim Monihon's life is an open book, that of E. F. Kellnsr's is just as plain," whereupon lady in the audience whispered, ''he means Kellner's watch case." MT. Campbell drifted to the other candidates and implored the crowd to give them lift.
 TeIegraphic Information.
 Chairman Heyman's next display consisted of Frank Cox. He fell into the error of Mr. Campbel's ways and made irrelevant remarks concerning statehood. A telegram costing in the open market $3@$3 50 was put in evil dence It bore Mark Smiths brand and the speaker swore that it was gen. uine. It had been ordered from MT. Smith expressly for the occasion, and the raw material out of which it had been constructed had been forwarded from Phoenix. The substance of it was Eff the Democrats get beat in Phoenix next Tuesday the al will be to pay and Arizona will be annexed 10 Sonora"
 MT. Cox warned the crowd against Oakes Murphy, who would make monkeys of Kellner and his crowd to- morrow night. He implored the Dem O. crats of Phoenix to line up and hang together, for every Democratic split made the Republicans of Arizona worse and more aggressive.
 Agricultural Affairs.
 Agricultural matters came up for dis cussion. The speaker adverted to Mr. Kellner's artesian well farm and be- trayed the surprising familiarity with 8 psratively new but i'm portant industry of growing artesian wells. MT. Kellner's efforts had it was true not yet been crowned with com plete success, but he was getting there and if the mulching was properly at tended to, and favoring rains set in at the right time, he would soon be able to show a crop of arterian wells that would astonish the world and open up an entirely new but profitable agricul- tural pursuit in the Salt River valley. It was meet, thought MT. Cox that the pioneer of artesian well grow ing should be rewarded by election to the office of mayor of Phoenix.
 Nothing stronger could be urged in favor of Mir. Kellner and the crowd looked as if it would elect him as soon as his first crop of artesan wells were in bloom.
 fare You There, MorlarIty?"
 Farmer Cox having fnished his agri- cultural disquisition sat down and the audience began yelling facetiously "Mo rarity Moriarity! Are you there, Moriarity?" A gentleman of that name happened to be on the floor and he came forward and began to crate to the astonishmsnt of the crowd which hadn't meant anything of the sort. Tha facetiousness was inopportune and unlucky, for there Moriarity was big as life. Aoriarity spoke low and the reporter could gather from such snatchea of his conversation as "the eternal principles of Jefferson," and ''the fair eex," that he was Democrat, though @ man of naturally good instincts. He offered as pretext for having come to Arizona that he had had trouble with his stomach and he feared that unless he emigratsd somewhere his case would become chronic.
 The audience was satisfied with hii excuse and even sondsscended to laugh at some of his jocular observations When koriarity got through tho light were put out.
