cents on the dollar. Again she is seeking supremacy in this land and it devolves again upon Americans to re- nulse her. We must force free coinage, D ardless of foreign interference. rom Molloy, on assuming his seat, expressed himself and in such fashion as to win ringing and continued ap- plause. The organization of the silver league he showed to be the logical outcome of prevailing political condi- tions. He declared that no power could read him out of the Republican party. The free silver Republicans have a work to perform and that is to prevent the territorial convention from declaring for the gold standard. The territorial convention must declare for free silver, as have prior Republican territorial conventions, and cursed will be the man who will return from the convention with a record of a vote for gold.
 Judge Givens came next with scholarly address upon the principles of bimetallism, making clear to all that the interests of America are op- posed to a single standard.
 The following address was presented by Judge J. iM Damron:
 Address of the Republican Silver
 League of Maricopa County.
 It is not the purpose of this Repub- llcan Silver league to reflect upon the integrity or worth of the grand old party which has attained such a high place in the arena of National politics: nor to sever our connection with that organization
 We regret, however, that we are forced by conscience to strongly disa- gree with one plank of our National platform adopted at St. Louis on the 18th day of last June, in the following words:
 We are opposed to the free coin age of silver except by international agreement with the leading commer- clal nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, but until sucn agreement can be obtained. the existing gold standard must be pre- served"
 Since, however, we have no voice or vote in the election of president we have determined to continue in that silver path heretofore pointed ont to us Dy our party, and to that end we Will not support any candidate for pub- nc offlce who favors the policy of the gold standard.
 we invite all Republicans who are m sympathy with the silver cause to Joln our ranks and aid in the great WofK or overcoming the gold standard theory; and in the re-establdshment of silver in our coinage laws.
 We are in favor of the Republican territorial and county conventions adopting free coinage plank similar to that which has heretofore marked our way, and that our delegate to con gress be instructed:
 f1rsd, TO make his chief duty the admission of our territory into the statehood of the Union.
 second, To aid in the restoration of silver to its original place in oa,r United States statutes.
 Lastly, That ihe use his earnest ef- forts toward procuring the govern ment to construct and control res. ervoir system of irrigation, for the arid lands of Arizona,
 Wade Hulings made some demur to the portion of the address declaring against all candidates who do nof stand for silver. He yet deemed hhe local free silver movement a wise one We don't throw down the Republican party nor do we espouse the Demo cratic party said the speaker: Eve only desire honesty and consistency in politics.
