These were stubborn f.ct- fer the apre-ent4tiveI of the republi- can party t) face, one of the two seek . ing to go to congress, but fai.ing to note one Of the results of the dep-eciati n of -ilver-the fsiing away of the city that in the past held the proui posi- ton of the leading city of A-izons. Enough by way of introduction.
 While rombstoners appreciate their surroundings keenly, they do not for get thsir duty to the victor, ard when It became known 10 certai1ty that Color el Brodie would be in Tombstone they set about to rhog him that
