without cent m return for bls sacrifice
 ID order that the road could be more ispeeoiy pushed ahead. The result oi
 the north and south road on the country could rot be overestimated, but enough
 was known to see Tucson with pOpu-
 latlon of 25,000 and property valuations
 multiplied by five and ten. But for the patriotic sacrifice of Cakes Murphy's 600 the road could not have been
 built, for Cleveland had entered tbe l Wh ts House and evil had come upon
 the land. Banks timidiy withdrew their
 money, the factory wheels ceased to turn
 and the snokestacks were silent. But | the man was equal to the occa ,ion-he let go fortune as an induce meut to cap- | itai. Four millions of dollars were fur
 nished and the road will reach Phoenix
 in February, and before that time grad ing on the south cad will commence,
 and he (Murphy) is today working almost
 as hard to bring the road to Tucson and Calabasas as he IS for his election.
 l In conclusion, the Judge urged bis ! hearers to vote for the man who could and would do them the most good, both iin public and private life. and that man was Hon. x. O. Murphy, the next con- gressmsu from Arizons.
 Then followed a selection by the band and several songs by the quartette. The latter were exceedingly catchy, 1 and Rally round Murphy and Doran at the polls" touched the fancy of the 1 audience and it applauded repeatedly. Judge Williams, the republican nomi lee for district attorney was next intro duced. His speech was short, full of pith and point and made most favor able impression on hls bearers. He did not think 1t necessary to tell the people why they should vote the repu5- lIc ticket for they knew of themselves the condition of the country and the causes leading thereto. The democrats with working majority in both houses and democratic president in the White house had not kert their pro- mises with the people. Cleveland had talked tariff and tariff reform till he megnitied it into scheme as great as that of Geo Laws or the south Sen bubble, but did ohing to relieve the half starved thousands. who walked the | streets in enforced idieness and grew hollow eyed for lack of bread.
 And now," said the general, "a word | O the ladies of Tucson. When I last
 
 reason that 1 was less handsome than | my opponent, but this time there is rot 1 so much difference between Pap Lowell | and my7elf so 1 make bold to ask for | your influence" He was loudly applaud ed.
 Colonel Zabriskie confined himself to | the question of national policies and | spoke last. Owing to the latenees of the hour he spoke mere bri fly than he would otherwise have done. However. an excellent speech was mad by the | Colonel. His fine vOIce and presence | cannot be reproduced To his words | every attention was given.
 Tbe great excitement on the question of policies at present, the speaker said, | was phenomenal. Tee democratic party | is now on trial. He showed the fallacy | of the defense of the democracy that | the causes began with the republican | party. He answered most con pietely | by showing that the present financial | depression resulted from the determined | assault on silver by Cleveland, he being | the TecOynlZed head Of the democratic | parry and the nation. This fixed tue status of the silver question by virtue of his position. He called congress ex- pressly to destroy silver through the re- peal of the silver purchase act, and promised that repeal would settle all difficulties.
 All business enterprises, continued l the speaker, were checked, and a Gener- al spirit of gloom vershadowsd the land. The people then locked to the tariff for relief With an overwbeIm- ing majority the democratic congress struggled eight long months before pass ing the tariff bill, while the people were appealing to congress tn relieve them from the calamitious effects of uncertain ty. Congress, utterly unmiDdful and regardless of the suffsrings of the na- tion, was bitterly struggling for person. al advantages by trafficing in sugar. The Wilson bill was reviewed. He referred ironically to reductions of the duties on opium for smoking. Havana cigars. fine brand es, k.d gloves, paint ings, stationary and ostrich feathers.
 A SC thing rebuke was delivered to the democratic party for perfidy to the best interests the nation. He said the democratic party should not be called the democratic party, being nothing democratic except iu name. There was little bit of democracy in every part of G God's green earth except in the democratic party. That party he sald was the resort of all malcontents of the world, compirators against civil liberty, and ceased to be dem ocratic when it ceased to be American.
