As outlined by the democratic
press the last campaign was clear
cut on the issue of the free coinage
of silver and the single gold stand
ard, the democrats championing
the cause of silver and the republi
cans that of gold. Now change
comes DER the spirit and the charge
is made that the fight was for and
against a continuance of Murphy
ism and silver or gold cut no figure.
Brodie was denounced as an un-
clean thing and all the vile and
vituperative abuse that could be
heaped upon a candidate was SHE'D
at the gallant Rough Rider. Now
you who believed the campaign was
| fought on the silver issue read the
following from the Courier, that is
copied and sown broadcast in Ari-
zOna.
"The goldite press takes excep-
ton to the suggestion of a few dem
ocratic papers that Brodie be ap-
pointed governor of Arizona. From
a partisan standpoint, it is to the
interest of democratic papers that
Brodie be not appointed governor;
for, so long as Murphy newspapers
and Murphy heelers ride the neck
of the republicans of Arizona, so
long will republican voters vote
democrats into office. These are
the cold facts The Courier first
suggested Brodie for governor, be-
cause it had the welfare of this ter
ritory at heart. Few democrats
would vote for Brodie for governor
if the matter was to be settled by
votes of the two parties; but we are
all for him under present conditions
as the best thing to be done Bro
die was defeated by the crowd
which herded him from the time he
reached the New Mexican border
until they found he was of no more
service to them. AS partisans,
democrats know that it would be
bad for the democratic party to put
Brodie into the governors char.
AS patriots, we know that it would |
be good for Arizona. 1t will be
noticed that those papers known as
direct Murphy organs are the most
agitated over the proposal to make
Brodie governor. OF course, we all |
know who pulls the string when
they dance. 1t would, of course,
be the irony of fate for Brodie to
supplant as governor the very man
to whom Brodie owes his defeat in |
the recent campaign, as Brodie is a
man to whom Murphy was really
but who was put up be-
cause the Christy wing of the re-
publican party would not stand
Murphy-and Murphy now chuck
les III his sleeve over the result and
his newspaper mouthpieces 90 into
over the mention of the
name Brodie for governor. These
are the cold facts in the case, and
there are several people who know
them to be such"
Does this look as though silver
was to receive credit for the defeat
of Brodie? Now the real fact is
every one of these democratic pa
pers are ready to accept the single
gold standard theory the moment
it is enunciated as the creed of
democracy. Not one would fly the
track and stay with the cause of
silver. The goldite democracy is
in charge in Arizona and all that
may be said to the contrary will
not avail against the cold, frozen
ruth.

"Outside OF the principal business
streets In Havana a veritable reign of
terror has set in. with the return of
400 desperadoes. members of the in
famous band of nanogocs sent to Ceu-
tn three years ago. The robbers do not

These men work In gangs" which
makes success of opposition to their

police made an attempt to frustrate the
plans of four footpads. The only re-
suit of their temcrity was that the

Two Strange Condolences Related by the
Admiral Mt The Lptus Club Banquet.
New York, Nov 2S.-Rcar Admiral
Schley was the guest of honor Mt n
banquet given Saturday night by the
Lotus club, mt their magnificent home
on Firth avenue. Seated at the board
to greet him were gentlemen promi-
nent In the Spanlsh-American war and
well known In professional and com
mercinl circles.
The banquet room of the club was
richly decorated with cut flowers,
palms and potted plants. and immedi.
ately behind the ndmirals chair were
draped the Stars and Stripes with the
flag which the admiral brought back
from Santiago
Seated at the guests table were Bish-
op Potter. Admiral Erben, Captain
sigsbce, Chaunccy NJ. Depew, Colonel
Robert q. Ingersoll. Rev. Minot J
Savage. Captain A. II. Mahan and Ad.
miral Schley.
When Admiral Schley arose to
speak he was accorded tremendous
ovation.
In the course of his remarks the ad
mral told of two strange incidents III
connection with the battle of July 3rd
OF Santiago. After stating that II had
been the intention of Admiral Cerverl
to make his dash out of the harbor OIL
the night OF July Bird, Admiral Schley
| said:
In some of the strange emotions OF
telepathy ] felt on that night that nj
outward movement had been deter
mined upon and decided to connect the
after and forward engines of my ship
| yet / feared to be caught In an opera
ton of nearly an hour, but was told
that the full speed of four engines and
one-half boiler was greater than two
engines and full boiler power, so
risked IT, Much has to be risked In
battle. II appeared that at the very
hour was occupying my mind witt
this question Cervera had planned his
attempt TO escape.
Another curious incident followed
their army's retreat to the hills west
of Santiago when our army was clos
ing rapidly about them. The insur
gents took possession of Spanish BLOCK
houses to the number of six ant
burned them. That was the number
of ships In Cervera's fleet and hs
thought II was II signal to lis of theii
intended movement, so he thought tc

Will Act a- Guard Over the American Ho-
CATION.
Washington. Nov. 26.-The United
States navy has landed marines In
China.
A dispatch was received Mt the Navy
Department to-day stating that the
captain of the Boston had landed his
marine guard at Tlen Tsin. The dis
patch was taken Immediately to the
White House by Acting Secretary Al
len
Secretary Hay was called into con
sultation, with the result of reassur-
ing the officials and allaying their first
feeling of apprehension. 1t seems that
the marines were landed. not because
of any Information of rioting or at
tacks upon American missionaries, but
solely TO act as guard for the United
States legation at Pekin.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth of the Pei Ho river several
weeks ago at the instance of United
States Minister Conger TO provide a
guard for the legation. The minister
represented that nearly all of the le-
cations OF the European powers were
provided with marine guards. and he
did not care to be exceptional In this
case. After lying Mt Tangu for while
the Boston worked her way up the
river to Tlen Tsin, about the head of
navigation for vessels of her class and
distant about fifty or sixty miles from
Pekin.
1t is believed at the Navy Depart
ment that the marines will be sent
forward from that point in launches
or small river boats.
