 And then Inc Hon 30 J iutro- duced Che first speaker, Mr. C.. w Meyers oi Cochise county. a gentleman with a voice like a fog horn and a tendency to profanity, who during about ten minutes regaIed the audience with loud appeals to the voters present to least their ballots on the eighth of November for the old democratic war horse, Mark Smith" Ever since Monday evening our demo- cratic friends have been apologiz- ing for the profanity and yulgarity of the visiting statesman.
 After the fog horn from Cochise had quieted down the only and original Hon. Bo. J. again mounted the invisible slack wire, and with few more of his marvellous gesti- culations and genuhexious, waft- ing toward the audience another half dozen imaginary kisses, at the same time saying something about Hon. Solomon Drachman, na- tive son of our sun-kissed terri tory;o and little Solly Drachman of Tucson, as mild and inoffensive youth as ever appeared in No- gales, stood blushing and lowing before the audience. In a weak and piping voice he assured his hearers that Hike Mark Antony he was no orator." and straightway everyone present made a mental note that whatever may have been Mark Antony's qualifications for oratorical display, "Solly" had told the truth with regard to himself. After a frantic appeal against statehood "Solly" sat down.
 Then the only and original Hon. Bo. J gave another of his inimit- able performances upon the inyis- ible slack wire, after which the party candidate, Hon. Marcus Aurelius Smith came toward and told all he doesn't know about Mir. Fowler and Mir. Maxwell, and how he has repeatedly failed in carrying out ante-election promises to secure statehood for Arizona, Having admitted his repeated failures in efforts to secure statehood, he earn estly appealed to the voters to send him to congress to kill state hood this time. Now that what he has clamored to get so many years is in sight, he doesn't want it; and to defeat the statehood project he wants to go hack to congress.
 At conclusion of the honorable gentleman's remarks the audience filed out, greatly disappointed Mark has lost his eloguence and his power to persuade. And he shows that he feels 1t.

A. Smith, advance agent for Hon. B. 4. Fowler, republican nominee for congress, and Hon. George II. Maxwell. an eminent Photographic expert who is canvassing Arizona in behalf of Mir. Fowler, appeared in the Nogales opera house, to herald the coming of the two gentlemen named. which he did in a most crude and offensive manner (ln- cidentaIly Mir. Smith imagines he is running for congress A greater frost has been never known in Nogales.
 Before the meeting the new local band made their maiden perform ance in front of the hall, and did very well, receiving many compli- ments. Inside the hall they were also marked feature of the enter- tainment, playing with fine effect Marching Through Georgia" and the Battle Cry of Freedom" two popular patriotic airs that were purely republican tunes forty years ago, arousing the reflection that with their music, like every thing else, the democracy follow along behind about a generation, adopting what has been proved good by the republican party.
 The hall was we'll filled, there being present many republicans and goodly number of the fair sex. To the latter the Hon. Marcus paid a aorid compliment; but all could see that 1t was plainly lip service. To woman as a poli- tical entity, Mark has not even toleration.
 Closely upon the hour appointed MT. Smith and the other visiting statesmen, Mir. Meyers from Co., chise county and "Solly" Drachman from Tucson, accompanied bs d number of local political cele- brities, paraded down the center aisle of the opera house, mounted the stage, and arranged themselves in an impressive group across the rostrum. After a couple of min utes lion. Bo. ]. Whitesides, of Douglas. called the meeting to order, and in a short and fervid oration announced that he would be the timekeeper He called the job "the presiding officer" The audience were much in doubt as to whether Bo was really delivering an oration or giving performance upon an invisible slack wire. He pranced back and forth across the front of the stage, bending a knee with a peculiar twist of the body and as the limb straightened again, shot out the arm on the opposite side with a sweeping flourish sug. gestive of a slack wire performer fiinging kiss at ap appreciative audience, and the next instant the other knee crooked gracefully and the opposite arm described an am- bient flourish. Occasionally the orator could keep his knees straight for minute, but his hands never. When he did stand still for half minute, his right hand was con- stantly engaged in fruitless effort at pulling down the cuff in his left coatsleeve, or rubbing the left humerus, as though his vaccination itched. When that was scratched to his satisfaction the knees again went into action and the arms and hands to fiinging imaginary kisses. The great and only Hon. Bo J. was surely warm number.
