T. MBsTONE, hEIz Nv. 3, 1898. EDITJR PROsPECroR-In search Of information went 10 the Reput lican rally at Schietl~lin Ina last night. I heard C,l. BrOdie, I got very little in- formation from him. He dil say re- peatediy, "I am not a politician "I nave held Oiiic. several ;im,s $ With satisfaction to those who l had deal Riders, who went to Cuba were all brave men, gallant patriots and gentle men," But il my memory serves ns rightly l heard all this before, and was not therefore much interested in CeveloI me nt- and soon the crca, at. traction of the evening, Juige Chss H. Wright of 1nc-en was introduced ny Chairman Montgomery, and then the fun began. The vsry appearance Of Judge Wright brought an auIihl4 it. ter amongst the juveniles. In fact he cannot he!p being funny. | was born with him and his circus experience has exaggerated the disease. But the culmiDGting point O. Wright humrr wGs only ro0ched when he attempted ,e be serious. He drew the long bow with such utter disregard of facts thet our dearly ChCfirhed local champion lre,aricator, slunk away, Lid h.S dimiiished head, and though himself candidate for county office did not have the courage tO favor the audience with even a word, to the greet dsap-
 Q! ;ment of his friends. Poor !. liON -ln,t in one eye9ir All his hari earned prestige and by an in,erlopt. tCo. Judge WEies in his iuini;abl.. manner, legged and prayed with sN the enrrtstness thet he WAS possessed of, thnt We send Col. BrOGie to Con grets to get statehood for Arizona. and pledged li- veracity Gal! he pos sesses of that aItic,e also, 1 prasume) that he lad seen whole reams Oi letters and tel. grams from senators snd men btTs of COEgTess, of New Jersey.

This diI not tickle the iureuiles, hIt ih, voters -nilei quietly. Another of Jui-e Wright's most humorous as-e ton-, and I think this is she one that squelched our local champion fOreve'. He saii, II am not a pDiitician, hope l never will be!' Yet those who know Judge Wright best, say that sihce h q1it the circus ring, and adopted tie law as profes. ion, there never has b~tIl II uiIst h'4IIi4i T t'hAA'l IT.
