WILL REMAIN A REPUBLICAN.
ThOs. Fitch Delivers u Ringing Ad'
dress and Tells Why He Will Stand
r. BY the Grand Old Party.


At the late Republican conven'
ton of Arizona, held to elect
delegates to the St. Louis conven'
ton, Tom Fitch, one of the most
noted free silver advocates in the
territory, was called upon tospeak
and responded in a speech. which
for simple eloquence and beauty OF
diction, deserves preservation
His reasons why he should remain
a Republican are unanswerable
and should be read by all Republic
ans. The reading will in no way
!. dwarf their enthusiasm for the
grand old party. The full text OF
Mr.. Fitch s speech is as follows:
r. "Gentlemen Of the convention:
thought that the seclusion that
the upper gallery grants. combined
with other circumstances, would
=, exempt me from an invitation to
speak before this cow entlon, but
your repeated calls leave me no
alternativeconsistent with courtesy
but to answer them.
"The speakers who have ad-
dressed you have spoken of the
free coinage of silver as cardinal
principle of the Republican party.
I fear that the St. Louis conven.
ton may compel us to retrace our
steps in this matter, and, as the
statesmen who control this con.
ventiou have not included me
among those deemed most fit to
represent Arizona at St. Louis, /
feel quite at liberty to tell the
truth.
II suppose no one will question
my long devotion to the cause of
free silver coinage. Years ago, at
the inception of the movement, l,
as the vice.president OF the nation
al executive committee Of the free
silver convention, In connection
with A, J. Warner, the, president
of the committee, Travelled through
the South and West preaching the
doctrine of bimetallism. and /
have never since had occasion to
change my views with respect to
the great benefits that might re.
suit to this nation from the com
plete restoration Of silver as a
money metal; and yet there are
other circumstances quite as in.
f1uential which must be potent in
determining my future action and
/ the future action of many Repub-
llcans in this matter.
''This morning friend, who is
"a member of this convention, and
who now honors me with his
audience, SAID to me: Mr.. Fitch,
you have always been pronounced
advocate of the free coinage Of
silver; what will you do if the St.
Louis convention adopts plank
favorlng a single gold standard,
and denouncing the free coinage of
5silver?' I did not answer the
question then, but with your per
mission l will do so now.
II belong to the Republican
party because its history is the
history of the growth, the great.
ness, and the freedom ofthis nation;
because it's purposes are patriotic;
because it is the friend of labor
without being the foe of thrift;
because it is wise, because it is
just, because it's restoration to
complete power will rekindle the

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
p Proposition Received to Locate Large
SILK Mill in Freeiand.

The regular monthly session of the
Board of Trade was held in the council
room last evening. A fair representa-
tion was present, and whilst the meeting
was the shortest yet held by the board
which was due in a measure to the
extreme discomfort OF the meeting room.
1t may be said to have fairly started the
ball arolling towards securing something
for Freeland's industrial life. The
meeting was opened by President Price,
who, after having the minutes of lasj
months meeting approved, called fol
reports OF committees. The committe
on miscellaneous, through Harry L,
Sweeny, chairman, was the only on'
which had n report to make. Mr
Sweeney repeated his explanation, made
at the last meeting Of the board, rea.
tive to a proposition which would b.
made for tho location of a silk mill il
Freeland. The proposition was no
presented directly to the board but wa
referred to the executive committee
who will investigate the mattcl
thoroughly and who decline to give full
particulars concerning the offer until
such time as this can be done.
However, the proposition was accom-
panied with several drawings, showing
the elevation and extent of the building
to be erected, whieh the members were
allowed to examine. These showed
building two stories high, 145xs5 feet,
TO be built OF brick, which was estimated
to cost not less than $4,000. Those
who examined the drawings expressed
themselves as well satisfied with its ap-
psarsnce, and ventured the assertion
that when the proposition would be
finally presented it would meet with
unanimous approval. The company, as
far as can be learned, is not local one.
and does not ask for more than can be
fairly granted. The building will be
filled with modern machney for the
manufacture of silk, and when this is
completed the company will give first
mortgage on all the property as security
for loan of SIS, ,0Go by the citizens, with
interest at G per cent 1t is hardly likely
that any trouble will be experienced in
raising this amount, as the proposition
has every evidence of reliability
The executive committee will probably
complete its investigation of the offer in
a week or two, and it is expected that
a special meeting of the board will be
called to decide the matter finally. ,.,
