BEGINNING THE WORK.
How the Silver Republicans Declared
 Their Will

It was 8 o'clock before Captain W. A. Hancock trapped for order. He was greeted with the appreciation $Se to the oldest Republican in MaGNopa county, a man whose partisanship has never known question. He stated the meeting was called for the purpose Of organizing the silver Republicans of Phoenix, not to disrupt the Republi- can party, but rather to cement it that success may come in the fall. "We do not propose to be read out of the Re publican party even though we are for silver, exclaimed the speaker. ''We yet believe the Republican party to be the greatest of all parties, though we cannot agree with a certain plank of its platfaER, We cannot succeed in Ari- za2e - @e National platform of this yS&-We must return ito the principles of tAe party, as expressed in National convention in 1892"
 Upon caA for temporary officers, M. E. Collins was chosen without opposi- Toy to be sssretary.
 The chairEaan is we'll known as one of the strep0est of local speakers and his very Ast utterance was greeted with A9plAnae, long continued. There is now great conflict going on in this country" said he, "a conflict in which Arizona is vitally interested, an at tack of foreign capital upon metal of which Arizeea has produced a value of not laes than $55 ,OOO,O Especial attentiSA was paid to the plank of the Repuh&ean platform declaring in favor of biA9Eallism by international agree ment, which was shown to be the veri- est farce, for foreign nations are today buying from us for 65 cents an ounce what they should pay and have paid $1.29. Great Britain has ever been in antagonism to the interests of the United States. She was 50 in 1776, when we repulsed her, it was the same in 1912, and the same in 1864, when English capital aided the rebels and

MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal


Chicago, Aug. 26.-Liquidation Of long
wheat by commission houses was again
very much in evidence this morning,
December opened a shade lower at
6O5Ac060Ac but soon started on the
downward path, reaching 591ac in the
first half hours trading. Hilton
Hughes failure and the Diamond
Match failure We're weakening factors.
Prices firmed up some on early reports
of cash business and expectations that
shipments from primary points would
exceed receipts. December advanced
to $3.50, but again reacted to 594c.
Corn was way off, opening figures for
September being 2114 @211ac, most
trades at the lower figure, PC decline.
Predictions of frost steadied the mar
ket somewhat after September had
touched 211sc and an advance to 213sc
was noted.
Oats was dull and showed a tendency
to weakness in sympathy with corn.
September opened unchanged at 16c
and dropped off to 1899.
Provisions showed further declines
at the opening, a poor live stock mar
ket and the weakness of corn being the
factors. September pork opened 171ac
lower at $5.4O advanced to $5.45 and de-
clined to opening price. September
lard opened 21A@5c lower at $3.3275
September ribs sc lower at $3.15.

Eo Tried TO 3@s but Finally Rode by ON

There was report like the report Of an
oveFgToWn pepgun.
Her heart sank within her and her tire
sank beneath her. She had become pos
sessed Of q puActure, and Sheridan (the

She bnRsPed along on the wooden rim
for a dozen feet, then 6ismounted and
viewed the HAttened tire with eyes that
slowly filed with tears.
Weeping upon her feet was too much
like work, SO she sat down and Wspt upon
the grass.
About this time the good Samaritan wos
sighted on che distant horizon. He was by
nature a Philistine, bat he never went by
on the other side when he discovered a
woman in distress, provided a close inspec-
ton of the woman plainly demonstrated
TO him that she was pretty woman.
Searching to her side he politely lifted
his hat, begged her pardon for taking the
liberty Of addressing her, and then inquired
the cause Of her grief.
" A punctHre, sir, - she sobbed.
"And you cannot repair it?'' he asked.

"Oh, yes, can, - he cried confidently.

Then, as the tool kit yawned before him,

hands, his eyes started from their sockets
