Frank Heney appeared last night | at Patton's opera house, and spoke 1 for about three hours. The house was pretty well filled, among the number beng several ladies. H. T. Andrews, chairman of the county democratic central com mitiee, called the meeting to order, and Dennis Burke to preside over 1t. On the latter taking charge, he immediately introduced Mir. Heney without any preliminary remarks.
 NIT. Heney first paid his attention to the JoURNAL-MINER and the com munieation of Dr. Miller, saying that he could not be diverted on any such issues, and as for the induiries the communication con- tanned, he said, 1t would take him all night to answer them.
 He then proceeded, in a very path etic manner. to tell of the killing of Dr. Handy a year or two since, Tn Tucson.
 He next proceeded to explain that no third party was needed, that the two old parties were perfectly com petent to do the business of the government. This elicited the first manifestation of applause, demo crats and republicans, for there were many republicans present. alike, seeming to endorse this propo- sition.
 With these preliminaries, occupy ;no ahout half an hour, Mir. Heney boldly waded into the personal features of the campaign-a feature originated bv himself, and which deals mainly with Governor Mur- phys acts iu connection with the loan commission.
 He stated that Governor Wolhey, as the first chairman of the loan commission, went east on private business, and incidentally interested a man to investigate the bonding propositioa, but nothing further ever came of it, and no bonds were sold, and Governor Woldey dldn charge a cent for 1t.
 He then compared the loan com mission of 1884 with that of lS9O- 1893 saving that the two funding acts under which they were created were identically the same. The former commission sold S260OO worth of bonds bearing seven pei cent interest at a very nomlnal ex pense. by simply advertising then Tor sale. The latter commission advertised their bonds for sale anC never got a bid. While the law were identically the same, as claimed bv him. he endorsed the territora secretary of the former commission for charging Sl for each bond t' which he affixed his seal, but con demned the territorial secretary 10 l. doing the same thing under the lat ter commission He attempted th' performance of an act of polItica juggling at this point of his speecl which proved a very bungllng aiiau =. He toundered around between tn congressional act. creating the lat e> ter loan commission, and the terri torial act creating the former, ant another territorial act which ha' no application to the congresslona fun ding until. like the Texas states man, he did not know "where h .. was at," and the audience could no tell him and he passed on. ..5 The two funding acts were identi cal. when it suited the speaker t have them so, but they were entirel. different when it suited his purpos to make them different.
 He tried to explain why, if h. believed what he charges against Oakes Murphy wa true. he had not proceeded agains him as attorney general, by sayin that he could not get II before grand Jury. But he failed to mak it clear to his audience why h could get the charge against Murra McInernay before grand and trls iurv in Yuma county, but could no do the same thing against Oake Murphy in Maricopa county, an right here is the point with voter and where MT. Heney convicts hlu self of his insincerity in his charge of the violation of any law by th loan commission. And no one realize this more than Heney himself, an if he had the opportunity now, reframe that plank Tn the dem' cratic platform he would alter h charge from violation of law totha of extraFagance.
 It is in the platform though, an Mir. Heney is now compelled sauirm through the campaign wit if the best he can.
 He admitted that the sale of bono could not be effected by adyertlsini that it was accomplished by tt personal efforts of the loan comml: sion and would have had h audience believe that they shoul do all this for nothing. He ac mitted that. prior to Oakes Murph becoming chairman of the commi sion the bonds had been contracte for at g7 cents on the dollar aud tn Mir. Murphy prevented the contra' from being carried out, but ! failed to be honest and just, | elaborating any on this proposltio as he did on every act on which | could make possible point agaln him. Hs failed to give him q credit. by this act. of saving the tt payers S45,0O0, nearly double tl entire expense of the commission.
 He failed so say that Mir. MuTpl could have shifted the responslbili of thls act from hls shoulders, the contract made by his pred cessor. but that he would not do and thereby saved Si5,O00 to {. territory. He failed to credit hi or his associates with anything go' or favorable to them but twist
 and distorted the law to suit own purpose and at the same tir
 to paint in the blackest colo
 possible their every act.
 His audience manifested but ni
 enthusiasm and many denocr
 were heard to remark to day ii
 his speech was very lame s4o
 He dragged out into a talk o 'i a-.- ...s,,s l,, ts,frrbf haVa crl f1l.
