A RELATED STATEMENT.

In his address of welcome to the ir- rigation congress at Ph9nix, Tuesday morning, Governor Franklin stirred up decided hullabaloo by expression of. the following sentiment, used in an alluslon to the greatness and grandeur of the Cnited States. Said the gen tleman: "Thank God that in the past year our people have demonstrated to all the world their contyes's integri- ty aud honor"
 No public note was taken of the ut terance at the time, but laterl in the day there was prolonged but quiet Kick all around town, both among del egates to the congress and citizens. The silver men were angered, and the gold met were not pleased The lat ter thought the sentiment entirely out of place at that time and on that occasion. In fact MT. P. J. Cole, ex- territorial treasurer, who was the only Arlzonan in the gold standard convention at Indianapolis, freely as- serted that "three months ago such a sentiment from the governor of Arizo- na would have dUne power of good; but now it serves only to show up his excelleDcy in the light of trimmer, and to stir up feeling where harmony and friendliness should prevail.
 Some of the outside delegations re- sented the governors words and eylnced their displeasure by remaing away from his reception in the eve ning notably the California and Ne yeda delegations entirely, and iudiyid- ual members of some of the others.
