The suit which has attracted a great
deal Of attention here had its origin
in special telegram sent to
the Republican from Kingman

of President Mckinley. The defense
relied upon quotations from the plain

! under the present rule of the Young
Men's Democratic club that there vas
an annual increase of the public debt
amounting to from $4,000 TO &20.J00 q
year. in spite of increasing assessments
and growing rates of taxation. The
speaker protested against the tribute
that was being laid upon the saloons
Of the disreputable class and the dis
orderly houses. He insisted that they
should either be subjected 10 a high
license or else prohibited altoget her.
They should not in any event be made
to contribute to a political organizl-
ton.
In the Fourth ward everything moved
smoothly and in the best of order. The
attendance was not quite so large as
the night before, but every man there
was thinking man and his presence
was prompted by feelings of patriotism
rather than $l.50 per day.
The meeting was called to order by
Major McClintock, . member of the
city central committee. He stated its
purpose and asked for the seating of
a permanent chairman and secretary.
He was himself nominated and elected
unanimously for the former place and
Lincoln Fowler was chosen for eecrc-
tary. Major McClintOck. in ao1zaoWI-
ed6ement. said that certain citizens in
the Fourth ward had come 70 the con-
clusion that Il change IN the ra-rc-
sertatior of the ward in the city cour-
Gil would not be destructive Of GOOD
government and that it might even re-
suit benefcially. So firm We're they il

ing the experiment, anyway.
I. j. Proscott secured tie Aoor at tie
conclusion Of the chairInans remarks
and in very pleasing little speech
nominated John Il. Aitken. one of he
most popular Iren in the ward. The
matter was formal merely. for the
people had r0niira ted NIr. Aitken q
week ago. The nomination was made
unanimous.
Mr. Ait2,en vas called for and la-
Hvered speech of some length which
brought him general applause at It's
close. he said that he vas 4 rreat be-

contrary, they desire some changes

that his views We're widely divergent

Cairo. His. April 23-Many arrived
here today in search OF the bodies of
friends, lost by the burning of the CITY
of Pittsburg last Sunday. They joined
the association organized las night to
raise money and employ experts in
dredging the river.
Most of these visitors went with the
insurance men, wreckers ana divers TO
the wreck, where the hull is still re-
ported burning. Only Two OF the fcaI-
bodies found out OF the seventy lost

The republican municipal campaign
was opened last night by the noini-
nation of candidates for councilnen in
the Second and Fouth wards. The noln-
mess are respectively Vi. W. Messenger
and ]. III. Aitken. 1t is agreed by all
republicans that stronger candida tas
could not have been selected and Ger
tainly there could be none in whom
the business interests OF the city could
feel greater confidence.
The convention in the Second ward
was well attended. There were enough
republicans there to carry the ward
against the democrats in it and there
were many republicans who did not
come. The nomination was going beg
ging. Nobody without a selfish pur-
pose wants to be- , councilman. The
office is honorable. but the average
business man cannot be persuaded 10
take il unless he can be persuaded that
in doing so he is performing a public
service better than somebody else can
perform it. 4 half dozen candidates
on the republican ticket had been sug-
gested, but each one of them, though
confident that he could be elected. be-
Heved that each of the others could be
giving up the honor. OF the election OF
Mr.. Messenger there could be no doubt.
The ward is republican by d safe ma
jority and it is made up Of q popu-
lation which would naturally insist
upon a municipal government quite diff
ferent from the present one.
Mr.. Dufield presided at the meeting
and II. A. Diehl was made secretary.
Ia ir1a

was devoted to enthusiastic speeches.

was a good man. as his friends claimed
he was. but he said it must not be
forgotten that Mr.. Clark's nomination
WAS by the grace Of the Young Mems
Democratic club, and that that club
had no member in the ward whom it
dared TO nominate. Attention vas
called 20 the extravaganza OF the pres
cEt street Improvement, in which none
Of the more than 1G0 men employed,
all Of them voters, live outside the
Fourth ward and none of them not
pledged to support the candidate from
that ward The USeIeSSncsS of that
grading which is costing nearly $1,000
a week was pointed out. The grading
would be necessary if Phoenix were go
ing to be paved, but there is TO paving
in contemplation and none is possible
within years. There was nothing in
the contour OF the surface Of Phoe1ix
which required this wild waste of the
money of the people of Phoenix.

opportunity may probably see the same
thing any evening between now and
election.
It is a matter of common report that
the city council and the street COM
missioner have for several days past
been taking an unusual interest in
street Improvement. That these things
are so is a matter for congratulation
among the citizens, as at least a million
dollars could be expended on the
streets of the city ana every dollar of
it create noticeable Improvement. It
is sublime that the city officers should
take such pride in tiieir work But
ere OF the oldest coinciGents with re-
gard to the matter is that almost every
one of the men employed is a resident
CT the Fourth ward. 1t just happens
SC of course and that is where the
strange part of it comes in. One
would naturally suppose that in his
wild search for men the street COM
missioner would once in a while pick
up somebody that lives in the First o.
Third ward but the residents Of those
wards have thus far eluded him.
Heverting to the interesting spectacle
referred to, the reporter happened to
city hall yesterday about O'clock. He
saw a company Of about twenty hard
working Mexican Americans come in
off Jefferson street IL front of the en-
gine house. Everyone was armed with
q pick or shovel. Hardly had this pre-
cession filed by when another one JUS
like it appeared, and after it passed
there was another and another The
reporter Glanced to turn his head the
other way and observed the same kind
Of q procession headed for the city hall
frcm Washington and First streets.
He was more than anxious to go to the
ether end OF the building and see what
was coming in from the southeast but
dare not for fear he would overlook
something coming from the west. And
50 it kept up from ) to 6 o'clock. II
was an orderly procession. Every
thing moved methodicaily. Presently
the bicycle brigade appeared. Those
VINO by close economy had been able to
provide themselves With wheels were
mounted. Some of them were corpor-
ais and colonels. the impressive fea-
ture of the demonstration was the sizA
OF it. Surely there was no riffraff
among this vast industrial army IN
quiry Was made of those who ough1
TO know and the information was
elected that every man enlisted was d
citizen OF the Fourth ward. and an
American citizen who had his name on
the great register. Some inquiry was
made as to the expense of keeping such
an army cf workers employed fer
improvement. It was learned
that last week the total expense for the
was little less than
$500. of course the army is larger this
week and Will be still larger next week,
but ii is thought the expense will stIu
be less than d thousand dollars a week
which is little enough for such noble
work IS these patriots are engaged in.
The tax payers particularly should ex-
ult that the street commissioner is able
to secure such a fine array Of men. all
citiz rs Of the Fourth ward and at
Such trifitng expense. So p.uud il the
