 'Fellow Republicans and Our Visiting

 ored Our Convention:
 We are once more gathered togeth- CT in the history of the Republican par lty of the Territory of Arizona. For lnearly fifty years the Republican par lty of this Territory has been in con vention, and that party has followed the principles of the great national lparty which has brought such pros
 perity and success 10 the nation. (Ap- lplausel And we ale here again in
 this good, wonderful city of Bisbee
 (applause) for the purpose of renew ing our allegiance and our devotion to
 the National Republican party, and
 everything that grand party stands for (applause). We are here as Re lpublicans, because we know that the principles of that party from the days of the rebellion down to the present time have resulted in giving to us a
 nation that is the first in the earth. . (Applause.) That is a leader in civ } ilization: is the leader in intelligence; , is the leader in wealth and in the in.
 terests of humanity generally. (Ap. : lplause.)
 Tt is unnecessary for us to go into ) details and recount the great success ! of our party, because we all know of them, and they are written in the grandest pages of history of this Unit ed States, and therefore it would be . idle for me at this time and at this hour to go into an extended discussion
 of the great and grand doctrines of Tour party.
 T want to say at this moment I feel ,partieularly gratified at the fact that I am the permanent chairman of this . grand convention. (Applause.) In all the years that I have been associ l ated with the Territory of Arizona in all of the years that l have been a ; Republican in the Territory of Arizo na-and that has been all of the time 1.-the Republican party has honored : me in various directions. In my humble way l have endeavored to dc , 1.-the will of the Republican party as alaid down in its platform. Tonight irecognize it as one of the pleasantest instances in my career in Arizona that Iyou, as the united Republican party of this Territory, have called upon l me to act as permanent chairman , | t(Applause.)
 This is a momentous and an era , making convention. This is con.
 vention that stands for Arizona. (Ap lplause.) This is a convention that
 stands for Arizona, for the people of Arizona (applause); and this con vention, and when the members oi
 this convention retire to their homes and get back to their wives and to their daughters, their children and their sweethearts, they will be receiv ed in splendid condition, and those members of their families will say . good and faithful servants, thou hast done well in standing for Arizona ' l(AppIause.)
 Our children have been born here; lmy children have been born here in Arizona; and when we talk about Ari , zona we talk about the Arizona that took place as one of the equal sub-di visions of this great nation of ours away back in the eos, in the days oi Abraham Lincoln. tApplause.) That lis the Arizona that the Republicans
 lof this Territory stand for. We have
 Inc quarrel with New Mexico Gap f lplause)-New Mexico or the New f Mexicans New Mexico is entitled tt , statehood. as 1t has been for years
