Arizona republican., 1898-10-07

wisest and best men, and to rally to the support of those who have been tried in the fiery ordeal Of Guty's stern demands? Men who their rights io know, and knowing dare maintain D. Men who have the courage of their con- vfctions. and the moral force to assert them? Men who have been weighed ir the balance and not found wanting: Men whose devotion to duty is not to ba swarved from the right, by any con- sideration of selfish interests? Men who are not mere carpst-knights danc- ing attep61nce upon the imperial de- mands upon the social and political favorites, but men who are stern and unyielding iii their integrity, and proud of their conscientious regard for private rights and public law? Men who have learned their lessons Of wis dom in the sevsre school of diversity, and who have not been controlled or contaminated by the seductive wiles of political association? Men who have been hOnored by public confidence, and have won the esteem of their fel- low citizens? Men who have steelsd their bosoms to the storm, and stood in the front rank Of stricken battle, in defense of their country's flag? Men who when the tims of trial came shirked TO responsibility, but led where duty called in the foremost line where the rain of death-dealing missiles hurled destruction in the teeth of ad- vancing chivalry? Such are the men we need in this crisis. Such are the men who shed halo Of glory around every cause they espouse. They illu- mine every subject which they touch, and they honor every people whom they represent.
 We have such men in the republican party. We have nominated such a man as our candidate for congress, and his name is Colonel A. O. Brodie. This is our hero, our Chevalier BayaTd, our Henry of Navarro. He was among the first to respond to his country's call, and among the last to leave the field. He took the honor of Arizona in his keeping He carried it through the miasmatic swamps of Florida. He bore it across the deep blue sea, and landed it upon the shores of Cuba. He hald it aloft through plain and moTass. and fever-stricken plague spots. He ad- vanced in its defense into the bloody ambush of La Quasina. His fortitude and valor inspired the troops in the fearful charge of Ell Caney where it was planted in immortal glory. and foated as the typical flag of Arizona. This is our candidate. Is he worthy? Is he not an honor to our territory? Can you match him? He represented us faithfully upon the bloody field al Santiago, and now we propose to send him as our representative in the halls of congress. Such man who has faced death on every field, who has ad- varced fearlessly stsp by step. gazing calmly into the face of despair, will never prove false to any trust. A man who charged the malignant fire of Spanish fury in the island Of Cuba, Of congress He will never trade or barter the honor, which he defended with his life blocd.
 BEHOLD THE MAN.
 ''Ecce Hcmo," behold the man. The republican party has honored Arizona, by honoring the man who maintained her honor. Who is so bitter a partisan that he would DC. vote for BrOdie? If any, speak, for him have I offended. Who hcnors the brave and noble so lit tie as not to vote for Brodie? If any, speak, for him have I offended. Who would not be a true American and vote for Brodie? If any, speak, for him have 1 offended I pause for reply. None have 1 offended. ArizOnians love true and brave man. They cher ish the patriotic arm that was raised in defense Of the flag. Arizona is the home of courageous and gallant men. Her history is filled with the recitals or heroic defenses by Arizona pioneers to preserve their fresides from the sav- age foe. They worship the man who comes forward promptly at the call of duty and offers his life, if need be, Q willing sacrifice on the altar of our common country.
 What noble commentary upon the genius of American institutions has the history of the last few months pre- scented for the contemplation C. man kindI What citizen of our common country but feels increased gratifica- ton and delight at the unparalleled achievements of American arms and American diplomacy. The history of these events replete with so many bene- fits to our country has shed additional lus-er upon our escutcheon, already covered with the heraldry of honor. The name of Arizona has been rescued from its isolated obscurity, and placed in the very front of public recognition. The sterling band of brave men who have accomplished this extraordinary feat of heroisn are entitled to the heartfelt gratitude of our entire people. Do we justly appreciate their sacrifices and sufferings? Can we realize the fearful trials, the exposures in camp and field, the hasty bivouac, the sud den alarm, the exhausting march through swamp and thicket, and fiery charge into. the valley Of death? When w5 can fully realize the horrors of such an environment, we can then approxi- mate to some slight conception. of the situation. Such men live forever ln the hearts of their countrymsn, and their less is deeply incurred.
