at Tucson-Wild Hemp
PHOENIX, Ariz, Nov. 6.-Last night
the biggest rally of the campaign was held
by the Democrats at O'Neil hall. All the
strong speakers were there and made the
audience enthusiastic to great degree by
their eloquenoe and honest exposition OF
the real issues of the campaign, and re-
moved the Republican dust that had been
sprinkled over them. Colonel Wilson, E.
B. Ellinwood, John G. Herndon of Prescott
and local men spoke. An excursion train
was run from Mesa and Tempe for the
meeting. If Wilson does not carry this
county by tremendous majority all signs
fail.
Friday night the Republicans had their
final blowout, at which Colonel Brodie said
few words and Jerry Millay and Chaplain
Scott were the speakers. The past five days
have brought forth enough concentrated
political excitement from both parties to
satisfy the most enthusiastic. All hands
will tomorrow catch their second wind for
election day.
The first term of the normal school at
Tempe closes the llth. The attendance
has been much larger than ever before and
the spirit for work good. The second term
begins on the l4th.
Tuesday will be great day in Phoenix.
The combination of election and circus will
form great attraction for the countryman
and not few of the city fellows. 1t is
easy to imagine what a hurrah time will
be the result. 1t is question which show
will be the greater attraction.
Major Stillwell of this city, paymaster
in the volunteer service, is in town. He
has leave of thirty days, expiring Decem
Der lst- He will then resign. Shirley Chris
ty of Phoenix, his clerk, will probably be
appointed to the position.

for the assailant, but without any clue.
Z. e. Ellinwood, a prominent Democratic
politician, prophesies the election of Col
onel Wilson to congress by 1900 majority
and gives his figures by counties.
1t is now learned that orders have been
received by Colonel McCord's regiment,

At Tucson
TUCSON, Nov. Sat almost the last mo-
ment of the campaign the Republican county
central committee thought they would
spring joker on the voters of this county
and challenged the Democrats to joint de-
bate of the issues of the campaign in tie
territory to be held at the opera house. But
they got left, for their challenge was prompt
ly accepted and on Saturday evening the de-
bate was held. On the Republican side Ben
Heney and w. F. Cooper spoke and on the
Democratic side Frank Hereford, Roches-
ter Ford and John T. Hughes. If the ap-
plause OF the audience is any guide the Re-
publicans were distanced. The Republican
speakers practically admitted that bot
sides were for statehood, and the Repub-
cans were really for silver, giving the lie to
their own platform. The debate was a GOOD
thing for the Democrats and the Republic
ans are wondering now why they issued the
challenge, when they had such a weak plat.
form to hold up.
very large mining deal has been made
here during the past week. Washington M.
Jacobs ana Thomas Childs of this city have
sold to VIM. Shotwell of Denver, Colorado.

gradually enlarged to 300 tons capacity. The

of the sale are 500 month to each of the
owners and 80 per cent of the gross pro.
ceeds. This will open up fine mining dis
trict to renewed activity.
George Truman, brother of Sheriff Tru.
man of Pinal county, is visiting in town.
From him it is learned That in Roosevelt's
Rough Riders, Of which he was member,
poll was taken of the politics of the regi.
ment just before leaving Florida for Cuba.
The result was that over seventy per cent
of the Rough Riders were Democrats He
holds Colonel Brodie in high regard as
ban, but he is going over to Pinal county to
work for and vote for Col. Wilson. With
Mr.. Truman it is a matter of political prin.
clple. Many of the Rough Riders think the
same as Mr.. Truman.
