sent to Laings Mex in order TO facilitate the de-

Another explanation which more plausible
was that President KRUGER and Mr.. Steyn, after
being convinced that the Boer delegates could
do nothing in America had opened negotiations
directly with Lord Salisbury and that they were
prepared to abandon the conflict If they could
be spared needless humiliation. No confirmation

,. Demonstrated at the Big Republican
 Meeting Last Saturday Night.

saturday evening of last week the
 Sogales opera house was crowded by
 a large ind deeply interested audience
 vho listened with rapt attention
 Through nearly two hours to clear, sble apd eloquent exposition of the <jssue, now before the people of Ari' E,ona, from the lips of that master of Ethe forensic art, Hon. Charles Weston Wright of Tucson. Judge Wright was Fin his happiest mood, thoroughly in Erapport with his audience, and his l keen sarcasm, cl can cut wit and tell kiDp hits were productive or the great. { est ent husiasm.
 The meetiag was presided over by EAl len T. Bird, and the vice presidents were Messrs. Flo Williams, Fred Her |rers, W. NJ Hoey, k. E. Hoga0, Paul Sprecher, aud George Pusch, of Pima, nominee for pint councilman.
 Immediately upon calling the meet I ing to order Judge Wright was intro. duCed and opened his address with a 1 |touchl ng and feeling tribute to the late Colonel Roy, whom the speaker had known many years, and for whom he had entertained most affection ate regard He said, in part:
 "The delegate to congress is purely
 and solely an agent for the people of
 Arizona. There Is nothing political
 in the position. The incumbent has
 DO voice save upon questions affect. ing his own constituency, and even
 upon such questions he has no vote.
 All that he can do is to pre,ent the
 wants and needs of his constituents aud ask that they be granted. Now, were Arizona a state, and entitled to member of congress and two sena tors, the case would be entirely differ ent' She would then have a voice and Vote upon all questions affecting the policy of government, and the selec. tlon of her representatives would properly be question of political con. Slderation. The political professions Ot majority of her people would make 'ne political complexion of her repre- sentatlon in congress and upon the nOor Of the senate. In that case there "ould be some sense in voting for pOlltlcal reasons The personality of tue men nominated would cut no hsure. It would be the political pnnclpies they represent But where 'uefe IS to be an agent, only, selected, pol'tlcal considerations should not be 'aAen into account, and your ballots anould be cast upon business basis.
