YUMA'S GREAT CHANCES.
The Great Colorado Permitted to Go
to the Sea Unused.

Gail around is water, water, yet not
a drop to drink" Thus mournfully
chanted the ship-wrecked mariner as
he drifted helplessly and aimlessly
on the bosom of the mighty ocean
How forcibly one is reminded of tn c
cry of this wrecked sailor as he stands
Oh the prison summit and watches
the mighty Colorado, one of the
greatest rivers on the continent, roll
in its splendor and volume to the
bottomless gulf CT Old Mexico, while
the magnificent lands that skirt its
shores and stretch miles upon miles
from its borders, are parching and
blisteging in the sunlight.
Nature fashioned this level and
productive valley and sends this in
exhaustible, incompatible river dash
ing down from its snow-capped source
to aid man, it must be presumed, in
his battle for supremacy. Yet there
he stands and there his forefathers
have stood for centuries, listlessly
gazing out on this beautiful pan
Drama, starving, as it were, in this
storehouse Of plenty. Here it must
be said that q beneicient Diety has
put forth its efforts in vain, as the
river moves on in its misguided mis-
sion, the lands remain untouched by
the pillow, while man seeks the shade
Of the towering prison walls to con-
template upon the uncertainties and
vicisSitudes OF life.
We are not criticising the people
OF Yuma, or complaining of their lack
of ambition, but we must say that
history fails to record another in
stance where nature has lifted the
golden cup Of plenty to the lips of
famine and the gaunt figure Of need
has turned away its head from the
proffered aid. The one isolated spot
in all Of this magnificent belt where
nature has combined all of the ele-
ments of success with no correspond
ing drawbackS-Water in unlimited
quantities and soil that stands al
most unequaled III It's productive ca
pacity yet still retains its virgin
qualities.
IN striking contrast to this picture
Of neglect, we turn to the side OF pro-
gress-out on the mesa, two miles
from the town OF Yuma, we find the
orchard and vineyard of j. H. Blaisdell !,
while not so extensive as those of the
Salt River valley, yet what is lacking
in area, as better kept, more thrifty
grounds cannot tie found ia all the
west grapes ripening on the thrifty
vines in abundance, while close by
is fine orange, apricot and peach
orchard, all giving ample evidence of
the intelligence aud care OF the owner
Mr.. Blaisdell, while failing to utilize
the water Of the Colorado by gravi-
tation, has erected large steam cleo
trio light ana pumping plant with
which he lifts the water from this
water course and forces it some two
miles cut on the mesa into n large
reservoir, where by system OF small
pipes his beautiful orchards are sup
piled. Mr.. Blaisdell has done more
than any other citizen of Yuma
county to demonstrate the wonderful
capacity Of her soil when properly
irrigated.

blackened; voicPless and dismantlsd, like a
grim spector of evil, it frowned DOWN upon
the hapess city, where poverty, idleness,
stagnation and want attested tho complete
disaster of the free-coinage experiment.
M'K1NLEY AND PROTECTION.
Up, up and up they climbed, watched by
the breathless multitude below. Up and
up and up until atlast they stood upon its
SUNNI and there, in the glass of the cleo
trio lights, cheered by the gathered thou
sands, they unfured and nailed an Ameri-
can flag. Down in the streets strong men
wept-the happy tears of hope-and moth
ers, lifting up thei1 babes, invoked the
blessing of the flag, and impassioned lips
burst forth in song-the haIlelujah of re-
joicing hosts, the mighty pean of peoples
joy. That song the enthusiastic millions
sing as follows.
"Hurrah hurrah, we sing the jubilee;
Hurrah, hurrah, the song that makes Us
free.
So we sing the chorus from the mountains
to the sea.
Hurrah for Mckinley and protection.
Over the city that free flag waved, caress-
ed by the passing breeze, kissed by the sill
ent stars and there the first glad sunshine
of morning fell upon it, luminous and lus-
trious with the tidings of Republican sue
cess.
On behalf the stalwart workmen and all
the vast army of American toilers, that
their employment may be certain, their
wages just, their dollars the best of the
civilized world; on behalf f that dismantled
chimney and the deserted factory at its
base; that the furnaces may once more
flame, the mighty wheels revolve, the
whistles scream, the anvils ring, the
spindes hum; ON behalf of the thousand
cottages round about and all the humble
homes of this broad land, that comfort and
contentment may again abide, the freside
glow. the women sing, the children laugh /;
yes, and on behalf of that American flag
and all it stands for and represents; for the
honor of every stripe, for the glory of every
star; that its power may fill the earth and
its splendor span the sky-I ask the nomi-
nation OF that loyal American, that Chris
tan gentleman, soldier, statesman patriot,

Now comes Yuma, famous the world
over for such torrid heat that a ghost
from the neither rigions returned for

he had made life picturesque in Yuma,
and puts in claim, which seem fully
warranted, that fine GRAPES, sweet,

miles from the town of Yuma" The
happy mortal who has thus found use
for the Yuma desert is H. w. Blaisdcll
whom the gods will certainly welcome
to their abode on Olympus when hC
has done all he can to reclaim the
desert and add to the happiness of hic
earth born fellows, and his good ex-
ample may lead the inhabitants O

THE PEOPLES CHAMPION.

This is the year of the people. In their
name by their authority, second the no.
mination of the great champion, William
Mckinley. Not as favorite son of any
State, but as the favorite son of the United
States. Not a concession to Ohio, but as
an added honor to the nation.
When his country called to arms he took
into his boyish hands musket and follow
ing the flag, bravelY barring his breast to
the hell of battle that it might float serenely
in the Union. Successfully for quarter
of century he has stood in the fierce light
OF public place and his robes OF Office are
spotless as the driving snow. He has
cherished no higher ambition than the
honor Of his country and the welfare OF the
plain people. Steadfastly, corageously,
victoriouly and with tongue of fire he has
pealed their cause. His labor, ability,
and perseverance have the enriched statutes
of the United Stats with legis! alton in their
behalf All hiscontributions to the master
pieces of American oratory are the out
pouring Of 9 pure hearth and a patriotic
purpose. His Godgivlng powers are con-
secrated to the Announcements and renown
ofhis own country and to the uplifting and
ennobling Of his own countrymen. He has
the courage of his convictions, and cannot
be tempted to WOO success or avert defeat
by a ny sacrifice of principle or concession
to popular clamOr. In the hour of Repub-
lican disaster, when other leaders were ex-
cused and apologizing, he stood steadfastly
by that grand legislative act which bore his
name, confidently submitted his case to
the Judgment of events, and calmly wait
ing fer triumphant vindication whose lau-
rel this convention is competent to place
uDon his brow.

THURSTON'S,
Eloquent Nominating Speech for VIA.
Mckinley for President Of the
United States.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-
vention: This is the year of the people.
They are conscious of their power; they
arc tenacious of their rights; they are sup
rene in this convention; they are certain
OF victory now and in November.
They have framed The, issue of this com
paign. What is it? Money! Yes money.
Not that which is coined for the mine
owner atthe mint or clipped by the coupon
cutter from the bond, but that which is
created by the American muscle on the
farms and in the factories. The western
mountains cl2mor for silver, and the east
ern shore cries for gold, but the millions
ask fer work-an opportunity to labor and
Efa.
The prosperity of nation is in the en-
ployment Of its people, and, thank God
the electors of the United States know this
great economic truth at last. The Repnbli-
can party does not stand for Nevada nor
New York alone, but for both; not for one
State, but for all. Its platform is as broad
as the land, as national as the dag. Re
publicans are definitely committed to sound
currency, but they believe that in a govern
ment ofthe people, the welfare Of men is
paramount to the interests of money.
Their shibboleth for this compaign is
Protection
From the vantage ground of their own
selection they cannot be stamped by Wall
street panics CT freecoinage cyclones. Re
ports Of internal complications and rumors
of war pass them lightly by; they know the
enemy of American prosperity is free and
the best coast-defense is protective tariff
They do not fear the warlike preparations
of Europe, but they do fear its cheap man.
ufactures. Their real danger IS not from
foreign navies carrying guns, but from
foreign fleets bringing goods. This is the
year of the people. They have risen in
their might. From ocean to ocean, from
lake to gulf they are united as never before.
We know their wishes and are here TO reg
lister their viii. They must not be cheated
of their choice. They know the man
best qualified to fight their battles and 10
win their victories. His name is in every
heart, on every tongue. HIS nomination
is certain, his election sure. His candidacy
will sweep the country as a prairie is swept
by the fire.
