Arizona republican., 1900-10-19

The show of q conquered warrior dragged at the tail of a triumphal car used to attract big crowds to the prin- cipai streets of Rome. and windows along the line of march commanded prices big enough to pay for the whole building. If the man in chains had been particularly prominent and o5- noxious. Briton or GauI or Barbarian Of the North. the audience was all the larger. So last night an eXtraordi- narily large crowd of democrats and republicans was drawn out to wit ness the dragging of that Barbarian of the North, Col. J. r. Wilson. at the triumphal car of Mark smith.
 There were other trophi=s of the conquest on exhibition. The banner of the Young Mems Democratic club soiled in the dust of defeat, was given q conspicuous place among the spells Of war and several members Of the club were yoled beside the captured colonel, who a few short weeks ago was met at Prescott on his arrival from the South by his worshiping followers and brass band playing, "See the Conquering Hero Comes" Little did he think in that proud, but brief hour ot triumph, that when he next left Prescott for the Southland that the same hand would urge him upon his leaden journey with the strains of .the lament. "Vae Nictis."
 PROUD BUT PITIFUL.
 The sad scene last night was put into the custody of Judge Baker by Frank P. Trott the secretary of the sole sur viving democratic territorial central committee. of which the woods We're full less than two short weeks ago. Judge Baker did not q lay the exhibi- tion by a long preliminary sreeC.-. Judge Baker has been making speech es here for three we ks and the crowd began to display symptoms of impa- tience. It had come to see and not 10 hear. MT. Trott had said that this was now a one-tent show. given under the joint management of all the dem ocratic clubs in MaTicopl county and r. r5presented once more a unit=d de- mocracy. Judge Baker emphasized this this announcement. congratulated the democracy upon the excellent quality of the cement with which its fragments had been joined together and intro duced that noble and s=lf-sacrificing democrat of the north, also one of tho slaves of the triumphal car that Rod erick Dhu. one blast upon whose bugle horn We're worth not ten, but one thousand men. John C. HerndOn. MT. Herndon rose with the humility beft- ting a captive. He did not believe. he said. that he was worthy all the praise wnich Judge Baker imposed upon him He remembered, he said, about a month ago when he was last in PhosuiX. he was not called ROderick the Black, but something else which he would nos like to repeat in the presence of ladies. That. however. was all pasy. The lion and the lamb Were at peace. There was no ill feeling. On the contrary. The lion was pleased with the repast and the lamb was out of pain.
 Mir Herndon then proceeded tp briefly describe the making up; how Col. Wilson had sacrificed hopeless ambitions for the good of the party and how Mark Smith with the same object in view had put aside all personal feel ings, had magnanimously consented tc let Col Wilson withdraw, and had him. self heroically assumed all ths burdens
 
 territorial campaign. Many persons wept at MT. Herndon's touching story of these heroic self-sacrifces. Thus. he said. had the democratic party been brought together in the face of defeat. THE FALLACIOUs MIR. HERNDON
 After this MT. Herndon launched upon national affairs and thereafteT wisely avoided the shoals Of territorial politics Mir Herndon enjoys the rep utation of being an honest man, so last night he must have incurred the odium which attaches to an uninformed person in a brief discourse upon trusts
 2. he said, were the especial pro- duct and care of the republican party, fOrgelful of the fact that the republican party alone has proposed legislation for the regulation of trusts and that such legislation was defeated by a solid democratic vote. The Standard oil company was held up as an instance of the growth of trusts under republi- can management when every one knows that the Standard oil company is conspicuously a trust which has never been aided by legislation and which could not possibly be aided.
 Mir. Herndon described the coercion of 10000 miners by the state authori- ties at the instance of capital. If MT Herndon had read tho telegraphic dis patches yesterday he would have learned that these 15O.OOO miners have brought capital to it's knees begging for peace on more humiliating terms than
 miners had thought of imposing 3t the beginning; the most successful great strike in the history of strikes.
