Democrats Talk.

Last Wednesday evening the people Of
kingman, regardless Of party, met in
Lake Hall to hear the campaign issues
discussed. The hall vas filed with la
dies and gentlemen long before the
meeting was called to order. About
eight O'Clock ]. NJ. Murphy called the
meeting to order and introduced E. B.
O'Neiil to the audience. Mr.. O'Neill is
not forceful talker and made very little
Impression on the audience. Following
O'Neill Hon. Henry Ashurst, Of Williams,
was introduced. Mr.. Ashurst is fluent
talker, and when warmed up to his subject
received considerable applause. With
more experience on the stump he will
equal If not surpass Thomas Fitch, the
silver tongued orator. Lieut.. Wiley
Jones followed Ashurst. Jones is an en-.
tertsining talker and took the audience
by storm. He reviewed the work OF the
two parties and argued by contrast that
no one could make peace with his con.
science and vote the republican ticket.
He referred to the fact that when the
issue Of The free and unlimited coinage OF
silver came up "two years ago" the dem
ocrats took the bull by the horns and
f, forced the issue on the stern wing of
the party. Mr.. Jones failed to remem.
Der that six years ago the silver repre-.
sentatives 10 the national democratic
convention walked out when Grover
Cleveland was nominated and the dele.
CATION to take this action was headed by
delegate to congress Maginnis, of Mon.
tans. Mr. Jones is honest In his belief
and although we may not agree with
him in all things we do agree that the
action Of the silver republicans and pop
ulists 10 the west is all right. They have
thrown partyism to the winds when II
came to the great issue Of silver. lie
impressed the people fsyorsbly and made
many friends who will not forget him in
the future.
W. w. Dunbar was the next speaker
Mr.. Dunbar said he attended the birth
and christening Of the republican party
and had been In full accord with them
eight years ago, since which time he had
voted no party ticket. He was what
might he termed lryan repu olican, We
Judge from his remarks.
After Mr. Dunbar subsidized the meet
ing was declared adj ,nrned.
Messrs Jones, O'NeiIl, Dunbar and
Murphy went to Chloride Thursday
morning and spoke to large audience ia
the pavilion in the evening. OSing Il

Of the people did not remain until The
close OF the addresses. Mr.. Jones mad,

talking Of it the next morning.

to Wtite Hills where they received al
enthusiastic reception last night. Messrs

Among other things regarding affairs
In Mohsve county the Prescott Courier
has :he following to say Of candidates
now before the people for their suffrsges !:
There are two candidates for justice Of
the peace, both good silver men and cit.
izens, one being Thomas Baker and the
other Anson Smith, the present incum.
bent and sprightly editor Of the MINER.
Judge Smith is filling the uuexpired term
Of Judge Redman, resigned, by appoint.
ment Of the board Of supervisors. So far,
Mr. Smith has given the best Of salts
faction In his dealings with lawless ele.
ment, and II IS generally believed and
spoken that he is the right man for the
place. At all events, II he makes as good
q justice Of the peace Tor two years as
he has made OF his paper tor nearly sew
enteen years, there will be no doubt
about him continuing in office.
The republican county ticket hss for
the assembly the name Of J. E. Perry.
The candidate is PROBABLY stranger 10
the public, but here In Mohave county
his name is a household word, and his
name and connection with the general
mercantile and supply house Of Messrs.
Gaddis Il Perry has made him familiar
with every man within bounds Of their
trade. This Is one among the largest
mercantile houses In Arizona. and from
small beginning a few years ago their
patronage now extends over northern and
western Arizona and southern Utah and
Nevada, and Mr.. Perry has been right at
the helm. along with o. d. M. Gaddis,
all these years. and naught can be said
OF him as citizen and business man but
praise.
