GOV. MURPHY'S REMARKS
Arrived. at the plaza the chairman
of the evening Governor Murphy. call
c,i for order and spoke as follows:
Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentle
mem
The entire country is thr+obbing with
patriotism, Americanism and Republi-
canism. Flushed with tlIe conscious
'iride of brilliant victory nobly won in
behalf of civilization freedom and op-
pressed humanity all the nation is
happy. Glad poems of praise are be-
ing sung in every American home. a
il blee of peace. the reward of deeds
hero''c- and all the world including con-
quered Spain, respects and admires the
greatest republic ever formed and
maintained by man.
Prosperity and commercial advan-
tage are in evidence everywhere in thr
United States The balance of trade |
is far greater in orr favor this year
than ever before in the hisicohy of the
c0urily and the nations treasury can
promptly meet every demand upon il |
without borrowing money. nOtWith |
standing the extraordinary expenses |
of war. These great results have been |
achieved during a Republican admins |
tration and Republicans are justly |
proud of the record. l would not say |
that all the patriots of this land are
Republicans. Party lines We're practi- |
calGy obliterated in the late struggle. |
All We're Americans and the gray !
fought side by side with the blue in |
defense of the nations honor.
While that is true and 1 would not |
take away one jot of praise from pa i
triotic Americans who erStWhre wer" !
Democrats vet full credit should be
given to those who We're in command |
OF the ship of state and guided the ma
tons dest.nieS safely through the |
storm.
We are here tonight to do honor to
Il man who has done much to make |
Arizona famous throughout the world. !
An honorable citizen. an educated gen
tleman. a miner. a cattleman and Il |
heroic soldier-an -Arizonan first. lasr |
ard all the time. our candidate for dele
gate to congress. Colonel Alex. o. !
Brodie. He is a plain, unaSsunlinS
citizen; he makes no pretensions to
oratory nor to political experience. He |
won his spurs bv actions, not with !
words Integrity and ablity !
are stamped in every line OF !
his honest face and when he
makes a statement in congress no one
will dispute it. One word from Col
Gnel Rrodie will have more effect in
Washington than all his opponent |
could say during an entire session
even though he were endowed with
lie elocuence of DemoSthenes. He
was a Rough Rider in Cuba and wher-
ever he lives he will ride roughly over
oppression. misrepresentation. hypro-
rracy and fraud.
l now have the honor of introducing
TO YOU the next delegate to congress
rom Arizona Colonel Alex. o. Brodie.
At the conclusion of which he intro
lrced to the wafting and enthusiastic
hrong Hon. Alex. O. Brodie, who was
received by prolonged cheers and ap-
,lausse lasting some minutes. He
spoke as follows:
COL. BRODIES SPEECH.
Ladies and gentlemen, friends and
elbow citizens: 1t is an unfortunate
hing for me Tonight that l am unable
o make you a good speech. l think l

gentlemen, by receiving ait the hands
sf the reputl lean party The nomination
IS tGleir candidate for delegate to con-
ress. and l have accepted that noni-
ration, believing 1 am able to fill it
loperly, and believing at this time l
,oUld be of particular Use to Arizona
nd to its citizens.
