PINNEY & ROBINSON.

Il good of the territory. Unanimity in
 this matter would be the strongest plea for statehood.
 Mayor Adams was then introduced. He touched upon the suggestion made
 by MT. Frazier. He believed that the democratic leaders of the territory had favored the unanimous election of Col. Rrodie and had therefore nominated General Wilson, who would afford the least possible opposition. Mayor Ad- ans took occasion in the course of his
 eulogy of the Rough Riders to allude to T. F. Grandell, the republican can didate of this county for school super intendent, and who now lies in a New York hospital in the delirium of ty-
 phoid fever, pleading to be allowed to
 go back to Arizona, where he has
 business to attend to. 1.-The people
 of this county" said the speaker, will
 attend to that business for him on No
 Vember s"
 Hon. T. E. Flannigan was next intro
 duced as the next district attorney of
 Maricopa county. In a short, but
 stirring address, MT. Flannigan made
 no allusion to his own candidacy, but gave his time to republicanism, Col
 Brodie's bravery and patriotism.
 Closing, he said: Last night 1 at tended a democratic meeting at Mesa. One of the speakers said: I fought against General Wilson three years in
 the civil war and he was wounded six times. five times by rife balls and once
 by a cannon ball. I shot him with the
 rife balls. but I could never account
 for the sixth wound received by the
 general" Continuing, MT. Flannlgan said: wilson will know who hit him
 with the cannon ball after Novem-
 Der s.
 The next speaker was Judge Joseph
 HI. Kibbey, who made sharp con-
 parison between republicanism and
 democracy. Democrats could not, he
 said, cheer for a democratic president
 who had lived within the last eighty years. There were certainly none for
 Cleveland, ncne for that renegade,
 Andrew Johnson, none for Buchanan and none for Pierce. On the other
 hand the achievements of every repub-
 lican president from Lincoln to Mo
 Kinley were matter of pride to their
 party. "The democrats" said Judge
 Kibbey, had seemed to take no pride in the work of the country in the late
 war. There's too much politics in this Rough Rider business said a democrat to me the other day. There was good deal of politics in the Phoe- nix contingent of the regiment l re-
 piled Take the three companies. Buckley O'Neill was the chief of pop ulists. Jim McClintock the sturdiest of republicans, and Joe Alexander dem ocrat of democrats. No more politics could have been crowded into the regi- ment unless there had been more po- litical parties
 The last speaker of the night was Chaplain Winfield Scott, introduced as "a soldier of the last war. Chaplain Scott spoke eloquently of the war just closed, the motive of humanity and accomplishments on sea and land Of the United States. He saw in the wise course of President Mckinley the overruling hand of providence He closed after a warm endorsement of Col. Brodie.
 The meeting was the most success Iful ever called in Phoenix to stamp ap- proval upon the work of a convention. It was possible to give but little time to preparation for it, since it could not be begun until after the acceptance oi i Col. Brodie was received late last Sat urday afternoon Yet within the
 short time that has intervened since then Chairman Gill of the county cen | tral committee had left nothing un-
 done to insure the highest success oi the meeting
