Nathan q. Murphy, Territorial Delegate from
Arizona, Is making a hard fight TO get his state
into the Union. He is aggressive fighter and
always ready for argument He was in New
York last week urging his case, and while here
one OF his friends told good story on the Arizona
Statesman II was in the course OF the session OF
the House that Representative Turner, OF Georgia
wished to have facts and figures published

attack made upon him on the floor Of the House

Senator Richard F Pettgrew. OF South Dakota
said yesterday that he thought the Davis resou
tlon affirming the Monroe Doctrine would pass the
Senate practically without opposition. Senator Pet
,igrew is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and in con-
versation yesterday spoke heartily In favor OF tho
resolution. Mr.. Pett.grew is not a lover OF the
English. He said In referring to England's policy
II think that we cannot show England too soon
that We are thoroughly In earnest. We fought
England on account Of taxation, and the cry OF
the patriots OF lI76 is the same cry that has beer
heard from every colony that she has ever started
No country is more guilty OF oppression, crime ana
plunder than England. We. as free country lov.

has TO affirm the Monroe Doctrine WITHOUT
equivocat:on or course, Mr.. Wolcott made
speech against the bill, and there may be soms
slight opposition. but think a whole the bin
will 20 through The Senate will probably pass
silver bill as a substitute for the bond bill and
be vetoed by the President. Congress viii do little
and Will probably adjourn in May
Congressman James 8 Sherman o, Utica, was
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday Mr.. Sher
man said that II seemed natural to have a igh; go.
ing on in the city among politicians. but he added
When the end comes, however think that none

the State will turn up sold for Morton 81. Loui

Will get many votes from the West. In takint
with Congressmen in Washington. find that the
Governor has many friends in the West. and con-
sequently Will gather votes. When II comes tc
the convention. | believe that he WI. be away VI
