Henry George in speaking of
W. j. Bryan's great speech at
the Chicago convention says :
But at length to close the de-
bate, Bryan of Nebraska took
the stand, and with his first
words there began a scene which
l think, must be without parallel.
not merely in the history of
American conventions, but in the
history of the world-a display
of the power of well-chosen
speech to move great masses of
men that can hardly before have
had its equal. All the magma
ton pictures Of Demosthenes and
Cicero, all that we have heard of
the great orators of the English
tongue, was realized today in a
vaster audience than any orator
of bygone times could possibly
have addressed. I listened to
Bryan, then known as 1.-The boy
orator of the Platte" when he
first went to congress. His ora
tory then was high of its kind,
but had something of a sophom-
orical flavor.
"As he stood ON the platform
today l could see that the years
had matured him in appearance.
but l did not realize how it had
matured his power. Graceful in
figure and fine of feature, he
faced the applause which greet
ed him. When he began to speak
his clear, penetrating, exquisite
ly modulated tones soon compel
led an attention that deepened as
proceeded to put, in well chosen
words, the thoughts which were
in the breasts of the majorityA
their earnest demand, their d
ant purpose. The man had G
for whom such a hall andsecna1
audience seemed the most fitting
place garniture. When he end
ed with the climax of a thrilling
peroration the feeling of the rapt
sea broke into a cyclone of en-.
thusiasm expressed in every pos
sible way.
SAT length above the surges
in which individual could not be
cerned the standard of Texas
began to move, creeping as
though it were the ensign of Q
storm-tossed ship toward the
standard of Nebraska. Then an
other and another followed it,
until the standards of all the sill,
yer states were grouped around
the standard of Nebraska, amid
such wild applause that the two
bands which struggled against
each other to add to the din could
hardly be heard. And when
Bryan. raised over the head OF
his surrounders, began to ask by
gesture that the demonstration
should cease the standards be.
gan to move again, not back to
where they belonged, but follow
ing one another, as though in
time to some wild strain of JOY
and triumph. around and around

felt better than it can be des.
cribed."

ANCIENT RUINS.
Discovered on the Verde Rivers in
Yavapai County.

The following letter addressed to the
Prescott Courier, March IL, from the
Verde Valley is full of interest.
A few days ago parties visiting some
ancient ruins, found many relics that
would be interesting to those that are
Investigating archaeological curios.
It is too often the case that some writ
ers in giving description OF ancient ruins
go into estacies over little enclosure of
stone roughly laid up wall as tempor-
airy defense from an enemy and call it
"ancient runs"
The following is not of this class. L
don't propose to give an elaborate des-
eruption Of it, but merely brief outline
sketch.
These ruins are situated on one of the
tributaries of this atresm in cliff of
limestone about 100 feet above the bed Of
the creek. They are reached by series
OF ladders placed against the cliff from
one ledge to the other. These houses
(csstles would be more appropriately are
constructed of stone laid in adobe &C.

ASSAULT ON THE STREET.
Governor Hughes Assaulted by p.
Clark,

O1ATAs
An alteration took place this noon on
the corner of Washington and Center
streets, between Governor Hughes and
P. j. Clark, the newspaper correspon-
dent. As. near as can be learned, the
Governor was walking up Washington
street with Messrs. Price Behan and Col.
in Cameron, and when they reached the
corner of Center street in front of the
Garden City Drug Store, the Governor
was stopped by gentleman who showed
him q letter. While he WIS reading 1t.
Mr.. Clark cane up from the side and
without q word Of warning struck him
in the face with his fist. The blow broke
the rim Of his hat and his spectacles, the
elaes from which cut the lid of the eve
quite badly which bled brofLsely. AS
soon as the fret blow was struck the
gentlemen with the Governor took hold
OF Clark who was restrained from fur
Their violence. The Governor at once
had q physician look at the injured eye
fearing that some glass had Injured the
ball, but it was found that no damage
had resulted only to the lid.
Clark Immediately went before Record
er Jobs where be plead guilty to assault
and was fined five dollars which was
paid by friends.
The cause of the trouble appears to be
that Mr.. Clark considers himself deeply
sggrieved 81 articles which have appear
ed at various times in the Tucson Star
which he believes were written by the
Governor.
This afternoon warrant was issued
by Justice tombstone for the arrest of
Clark on a charge of battery, and the
trial eet for tomorrow afternoon In the
meantime he ia at liberty under $50
bail, which was furnished by B. A. Flick

The Governor,s Removal.

WASHINGTON, Mar 31-The president
yesterday sent 10 the senate the noni-
nation of Benjamin j. Franklin of
Arizona, to be governor Of that terri
tory. The term of the present COVER
nor, Hughes, would not have expired
until April l, 1897. The appointment
of Franklin is, no doubt, the result of
a bitter fractional fight. Charges and
couDtercharRes have been made.
Whether the nomination is due to
the resignation of Governor Hughes,
or to removal, cannot be learned, as
officials at the White House and in
other departments refuse to discuss
the subject, The date upon which the
new governor qualities is not apparent,
but it is taken for granted he will as
sume bis office as soon as confirmed by
the senate.
The new appoiptee served two terms
IN the house OF representatives from
Kansas City, Ma. Later, under the
former Cleveland administration, he
was consul to Henkow, China, and up
on his return, settled in Arizona and
recently became q candidate for COVER

mystery how the builders got those

On clearing out the bat excrement
from one of the rooms OF the upper story,
several mummi6hd skeletons of children
were found, rsnging from the tiniest
form OF infancy to those of 10 years OF age
There did not appear to be airy pretense
at embalming, yet some of them were so

and eyebrows were intact, It seemed
that they were all wrapped in some sort
OF manufactured cloth when placed in
the tomb, but time had crumbled it to
dust, with the exception OF small por-
tious which were swaddled in a more
lasting N Material; especially one wee little
tot that was enveloped in fine cotton
cloth with insertion and needleu ork on it
that would do credit to the deft fingers
of any lady of the present day. Who
can imagine with what anguish that

bliDding tears lovingly and tenderly
wrapping around its frsil little body

Pain is constant visitor of persons
troubled with chronic rheumatism. This
unwelcome guest will, however, take its
departure, and not renew his visits if a
writ of ejectment is eerved upon il
through the agency of Hostetter's Sto-
mach BItters, the most efficient blood
depurent and snodyne to rheumatic
twipges known to medical science. No
testimony in its behalf is more positive
and conclusive than that which proves
it's efficacy in rheumatic complaints. II
is also conspicuously ef;icacious for ma
larial, nervous, bilious, dyspeptIc and
kidney disorders. 1t promotes appetite
and sleep, and is particularly useful to
invalids recovering from exhausting NAL
aides. Persons past the prime of life,
and those suffering from lack of vital
stamina. find it highly beneficial. Give
it persistent trial. No medicine used

can be expected to achieve lasting re-

order to play of practical joke upon a

one of the 'joking" kind, and whether he
was In earnest or undertook to play q
"joke" on the wrong chicken, / don't
know. However Toms nerve ives too
much for Andy, for Gates faced the shot

Andy's head, pushing the gnn to one
side, ordered Reeves drop it or he would

Reeves afterwards said "Gates ia the
gamest man l ever met, and my little
experience with him broke me of suck
ing eggs." The winter of '66-'67, Billy
Gates returned to California via Salt
Lake City. Sometime in the winter of
l869-70, Tom Gates accompanied by
a partner named Parker, returned to
Arizona, this time stopping at Prescott.
But times appearing to be dull as COM
pared with Los Angeles, they remained
but two weeks, going back to Los An
geles again. My next meeting with Tom
was at Florence, Pinal county, after the
adjournment of the legislature at Tue
son in 1877.
At the request Of Colonel Ruggles,
member Of the Council from Pinal, l
went with him to Florence, there !
found Tom Gates and wife. He had
married in Los Angeles and came to Ari-
IONA late in the fall OF '76 or early in the
spring Of ~. At this time the writer
and Gates were mutually interested, but
money being too scarce we "closed up"

and Navajo counties, coming up here in

candidate for reelection to congress. /
rext met Tom at PRESCOTT during the
session of '83-4, and at this time he
claimed Tucson as his place OF abode.
After locating in Tucson, Gates became
affiliated with the local democracy, and
being naturally shrewd, soon became
prominent with the Pima couutydemoc-
racy. At the session of, 1884, Gates
was at the head of the legislative lobby,
and through his management the Bull
lion tax law was repealed. After we
parted ways in 1877, Tom seems to have
changed his ways q good deal, for in
1884, found him to be altogether quite
different person indeed. G. Meyer Zu-
lick selected Tom Gates for superinteu-
dent OF the Yuma prison. and Of ell the
sppoin tments nc de by Governor Zulick,
so far as my memory serves, the Gates
appointment was the best. Thomas
Gates was man of nerve; qutck to act;
generous to a fault; quick tempered and
ready to fight at the "drop Of the hat"
and drop it himself. II IS hardly posi-
BILE for one to be drawer than Gates, al
though in our day We may have mixed
with many of the brsvsst. Thomas
Gates like all of US, had his faults, but
surely his better qualities overbalsnced
the bad; the bad. il any, now lie buried |
forever, and may the good ones forever
remain. Peace to his ashes.

MORE KIRKLAND TROUBLE



Bit by bit further discrepancies" are
being uncovered in the administration
of E. B. kirkland, late clerk of the
board of supervisors of Maricopa county.
None Of them are of very great magni-
tude, yet the sum total has come to be
very considerable. The latest as out
lined yesterday by Clerk Sheridan, lay
In the practice OF the board OF supervi-
sors of selling lands held by the county
for taxes back to the original owners.
The moneys received in the transaction
should, of course been handed over to
the county treasurer as coon as the deed
10 signed by the chairman of the board
and clerk, but it appears that this was
not always done. The clerk had the
handling of the funds, and IN at least
nine instances the money went not unto
the county treasurer.
The instances tabulated to date are
upon deeds delivered to the following
named purchasers in the sums set OPP
posite their names: Maricopa Loan
