Arizona republican., 1898-10-18

in by democrats, populists and repub- hcans alike. Old democrats, who have
 never turned from the paths of de-
 mocracy. shook Col. Brodie's left
 hand fhis right arm he is unable to
 use) last night and gave him their
 promise of support. I have talked
 with democrats here today who at tended the meeting last night, and
 they say that northern Arizona never saw such enthusiasm. It was a wei come which Col Brodie is proud of, and the leading republicans regard it as an indicator of great republican majority in Coconino county this fall. The lobby of the New Bank hotel was damned last night after the meeting. Cheer after cheer was given Col. Bro die. and Governor Murphy, Judge Wright and Territorial Auditor Wick CTS were also honored in like man ner. Rough Riders" Dan Hogan and c. c. Jackson, who recently arrived here. gave the famous yell Of the .Rough Riders and Cuba" the lit tie curly dog which followed the Rough Riders through Cuba, joined in with an enthusiasm that found ex- pression in vociferous barkings.
 The sheepmen are feeling gcod up here. Last year under the operation of the Dingley tariff law they received
 more for their wool and their sheep brought a better price than they have had for many years The same prices win prevail this fall, the percentage of gain in lambing has been exception ally large, and the losses 1n the Danos have been slight. The people Ill north ern Arizona are prosperous i'll conse- ouence and they do not propose to go back to the old state of things py Vol- ing the democratic ticket.
 "GeneraF' Wilson, late Of Arkansas, was herd some time ago, and his meet ing will be long remembered by me people. Some were inclined to remain away from the meeting last night, fear ing that it might be a repetition CT the democratic meeting. They ap- proached the hall timidly and took the standing room that was left them with hesitancy. But when Chairman Clark drew a large machefe and demanded order. and they caught sight Of Judge Wright's face on the platform they knew that this meeting was not to De a night school, the speakers would not get up with long faces and dropping chins and tell of the sins of the other party, like the Pharisee, thank God they were not as bad as they. But the men made a mistake, and there was disappointment depicted on their faces when they found that they could not get any nearer to the speakers, nor could they move an inch in any direction. These men, who had been imposed upon by the general" in a lcng, verbose speech, which he empha- sized by strutting about the platform. had been twice punished, first by the general" from Kansas, and the sec ond time by themselves, for they. could not hear the speaking from the posi- tion they had chosen on the stairs ard in the hallway. They will punish some one cn election day, and it will not be Col. Brodie.
 An old time prospector was in- troduced to Col. Brodie by Sandy Donohue. Col. Broiie ex- tended his left hand, and as he did so the prospectcr stepped back and looked at the colonel in puzzled way. If your right one isn't good enough for me-" said the prospector, "I will not shake with you" Sandy explained that Col. BrQdie was a com- of the Rough Riders" and that his right arm was wounded by Mauser bullet Put it there,' said the prospector 'I'H shake any hand you've get, and will vots for you, too, although it will be the nrst time I ever voted for a republican.
 Dan Hogan and c. c. Jackson of the Rough Riders" had many pleasant visits with Gel. Brodie yesterday and today He is just the same here" said Mir Hogan, that he was in Cuba with the boys We all think there is no one just like him. There are few men who can drill four troops of cav airy two times a day as long as Col. Brodie drilled us at San Antonio, and come out of it with every man his friend When we heard at Montauk that he was nominated for delegate we pledged ourselves to return to Arizona and work for him. Dave Hughes down in Tucson was not fit to leave camp, but he is at Tucscn doing all he can for the colonel" Henry Sellers, an other Of the Flagstaff Rough Riders" has returned and he has been nomi- mated by the republicans of Coconino county for recorder. He was a brave soldier, and should get good major ity. Col. Brodie, Governor Murphy, Judge Wright, Territcrial Auditor Vickers, E. s. Clark, C.. M. Funston, N. J. Ken nedy.
