THE GOVERNOR AT PRESCOTT
Made the Speech of His Life and
 Gained Many Friel d,

The Journal Miner of Wednesday said of uh governors appearance a, the monster meeting at Prescott:
 Governor N. O. Murphy made a mag nificsnt speech last night and in doing so made many new friends. It was th7 speech of his life. He spoll= for nearly an hour and half. in d calm, dispas- sionate manner, devotlng much of the
 time to q discussion Of national issues, to q monstrate that the republican par
 ty has be right on all questions that it is right today, and that il is the par ty of progress, quoting from history to
 show that the country. under rapub- lican administration has prospered and grown as in no other periods in it's his
 tory.
 He pointed out very forcibly- tn false
 cry of imperialism and militarism as
 raised by Bryan as the paramount is
 sue and taken mp by the democratic partyaS it's Shibbole,h for the campaign
 ridiculing the latter in strong terms. saying that th- government has not
 enough troops now to prop. rly garri
 son it's military posts.
 The governor was .visibly affectepl. as
 he rose to speak, by the overwhelming demonstration given by tn citiz ms of his old home, and thanked the people for the interest shown on the occasion. He touched bri fly on charg that had been made against him of various kinds, but long enough to convinc" any fair minded and reasonable man that
 every official act of his had be n prompt from nigh minded and honor
 able motives. He said his record was
 an open book and contained nothing for which he had any apologies to make, aS it needed none.
 While. Governor Murphy does not in dulge in any orItorical flights in his
 public speeches, and does not embellsh
 them with any humorous stories, as is the custom of a very large perc ntage of public speakers. he holds his audi ence spell bound by the earnestn Ss
 and sine rity of his statem nts. and the plain, ightforwdrd, manly and hon.
 orable manner in which h, delivers them, carrying conviction to the mind of every impartial, fair minded and un- prejudiced list. her. Notwithstanding
 th= campaign of vituperation, abuse and misstatem nts that has been made against him. not single word | of q similar nature fell from his lips, either against his political opponent or | against those associated with him on
 tn stump in traducing the good name and perverting the records of Governor l Murphy His coursa in this respect
 could not but fail to appeal to the b't- ter class of citizens. as it was in such
 marked contrast with speeches recent ly made in tn court house, in which he
 was subjected to all manner of abn5r and misrepresentation
 Never. during the eighteen years residence of the writer has he seen such T magnificent demonstration or any kind as was accorded Governor Murrghy last night.

MANY WIDOWS IN CUBA.

The effect of the long Cuban war on the homes of the. CubanS is shown in the returns of the C. nsuS that was re- gently taken there under the SuperVi- sion of the war departments. The cen sus shows that 34 per cent. of all the women who have been married in Cuba are today widows. Perhaps no country in tn world can show a larger per cent of WfdOwhOod. An apparent in consistency of figures contained in the Cuban census is shown by the percen- tage of widows in that island being little more than per cent. of all the women On the island. This apparent dis crepancy results from the fact that the marriage ceremony in Cuba was an eX- pensive luxury during the years of married at o'clock In the morning. and this expense was increased as the hour of noon, the most fashionable time for the performance D of such ctra- monies, approached. Many of the poor people were thus forced to do without the luxury of a marriage although they proce= ded to bring up a family m an ord rly manner. Had marriage been universal in Cuba it is quite likely the percentage of those marri5 who Were made widows by the war for independ enc@ would have been quite as large as is shown to be undy presen: conii- tions.-Washington Star.

He had been hired to rep resent the people of Arizona in Wash ingtOn and his place was there. lie was a servant and officer of the gov ernment, as well, and owed it and his territory his fidelity and entire service.

In one of Bryan's speeches in con-
 phatically as words can BRYAN IS state that I consider it FOR FREE as faisa in economy
 TRADE. and vicious in policy to
 attempt to raise at q high price in this country that which we can purchase abroad at low prize in exchange for the product of our toiI."
 There you are. Free trade, pure and simple and the repeal of all duties enacted to keep higher wages in this country than abroad.
 Even more specific is the following from his speech in the house of repre- sentatives on March 16, 1892:
 What I denounce is a protective tariff levied purely and solely for the purpose of protection. It is false econ- omy and the most vicious political principle that has ever cursed this country. am ready to stand by it anywhere. that tariff levied, not to raise revenue, but to protect some par ticular industry, is wrong in principle and vicious in practice" As an eX- planatiOn why he could hold such s n- timents Bryan took as q text and motto for his free trade speech of January 13, 1894, the following from Proverbs Congressional Record. Vol 26 Part 1, page 219): Better is little with righteousness than great revenues without right"
 As if American workingmen must give up their high wages as not right, and come down to the foreign level in the name of religion. A man who talks this way may be sincere, but he is dan gerous. Let workingmen beware of this l fanatic, possessed, as he is, with the idea that the high wages of this coun- try are not right and must be reduced in the name of religion. His opponents | do not accuse him of that. but point to | his words where he himself says it most explicitly. Fanatlcism is never so dangerous as when it gets to quot ing religion.

WILL VINDICATE HIS ACTION.

One democratic paper says the Yuma Sentinel, dwells on the fact that the $. F. P. and P. pays no taxes, and tries to make id appear by inference that it was through the scheming of Governor Murphy that this road was exempted from taxation. No special legislation nf this character was ever enacted: but tha seVent- enth legislature passed an nct eXempting from taxation for Dc riol of twenty years all railroads that mi@E. build in.D or through the terri tory. This was done of course to en- courage railroad building. and was in tEr inter st of the industrial deve lop- ment of inc territory. But right or wrong. 1t is ridiculous tn blame or cred if Governor Murphy With ifs accom- plishment.
 As to the bonds issued by Yavapai county. ther- is no question as to the moral as w. II as the legal obligations m the part of the county to pay them. and this view of it is taken by tn best citizens and heaviest tax payers of tha county. The five or six hundred ma jority which Gov.

 As th@ campaign progresses the peo- pie are becoming convinced that Gov ernOr Murphy is the strong st man in the territory for the position to which he has been nominated. He not only but he is regarded in Washington as an extremely safe man. His popularity there is well known. and his ability to perform good s rvice tO the territory is conceded by the president, the speaker of the house and s, nators and representative whose influence is far reaching. He has the ability and the powtr to secure statehood, and state hood will surely come if he is elected. Every friend of Arizona should work for his election to the end that his majority may be sufficiently large to convince the powers at Wash ington that Arizona is safely republi- can.
