GOV MURPHY TALKS
The Republican Delegate Be-
 fore a Tombstone Audience

A co1d attendance greet'd Gov. Murphy at Schief Hall lat night, but it was plainly maniiest that sll the fire and enthu-iasm was on the outside, the bonfire being a g0oG blaze while the anvil firing, which did nut work qrte satisfactorily, was nevertheless a feature that attracted alter tiar, Inasmuch when the oper- s'or fred of A good loud bonn the sma'l hoy sat up s cheer. The hall was patrio'i 'icslly decorated and come beautiful flowers covered the speaksrs' desk, all preseniing a pretty ff'ct. Many seats were provided -on Ire s'sge 10 accommodate some repuh- licsn. hut were consricurus hv their Loneliness, the chairman. F. x. Vol colt and the speaker, Gov. Murphy. b4irg the sole occupants before the footlighis. This lack of courtesy l shown to the orator was generally commented upon. The speaking he
 gan early. MT. Wolcott ID c few we'll chosen words grscinusly intro duced Gov. Murphy as the republican explained that his associates on the poli icai stump were unable to come | al, detsined in Tucson, but rather than tchauge the date he came himself
 republican psrly and lauded the work nf the administration from A to izzsrd. He scou,ed the mili,aryism and imperialism cry, and like Mark | Hanna on trusts, said it was all a bogie. He made e thrust at Bryan by saying he deserted the silver csuse and is hoodwiuking the West, when r is known that BryaD's position on silver is absolutely upque-tioned
 The gov vernon did not inJec, any more remarks anent ,ilyer or evsn breathe s reference to the endorsement of the gold rlank in the territorial repub- iirsn platform. He de!. !.nded hi- action on the Ariz na railroad bond r1s ter and ab-olved hin.se!. from the odium that had b en directed st Tim by dramatically Ileaiing not guilty and imprscsing cslami cue
 vi upon his traducers. He further l clincbsd his argument that he was not rlipping bond cournns by de- clsrlrg that he WAS sl0,O00 in dehr instead. He dwelt on ststehood and
 made 6 good logical argument for our deliversnoe from territorial vasss- Isga, On this issn, both democrst- and republicans are in harmony, but the governor said the Gsrsmount issue | for Arizona was statehood and from | his remarks it is gathered tha. he sould be willing to try to get it.. l The governor is a pleasing spssker and. individually, made s good i'm
 pre-sion but he had gottsu into a democratic sIlver camp and little or no srplanse or enthusiasm was awakened by hi- remarks. He leaves tonight for N gales and soes to Bisbee ol the l2th, s charge having been made in the dates.

Being anxious to See actual war he wrote to his father to get h.m dhchsrg q. being e minor it was granted. Whereupon he en- Ii-,ed in a regiment going to NJ .Dils aud was placed in Funston's com mapd where his curiosity was amply gtstified.
