Bisbee daily review., 1906-09-07

dI counted on election day. our present delegate to Congress will be returned to his post. Gentlemen. promise you that even Yayapai. that boasted rock bound cradle of Republicanism. will return a Democratic majority this fall. It is more than a pleasure for me to place in nomination the name of Mar GUS A. Smith, as our candidate for delegate to Congress"
 The applause lasted for several min utes after Ling left the stage. and as soon as it subsided. a member of the Coconino delegation which was next on the roll call. informed the conven- ton that Coconino has selected Henry Y. Ashurst to second the nomination of Mark Smith in their behalf. Ashurst was called to the stage amid great applause from the entire con yertfon. His speech follows: Ashurst's Speech
 At the conclusion of the nominate ing speech by Hon. Reese NJ. Ling there were loud cries for Ashurst of Coconino. Mir. Ashurst was escorted to the platform amid loud applause. Mir. Ashurst said:
 '"The Democratic party is courage ous. It stands by its guns, come what may. Therein it differs from the Re- publican party. The Republican party will usually declare for any set of principles that may be velvet to the ear and may catch votes. The Demo- cratic party exhibited courage when 1t wrote the imperishable Chicago platform in 1896, and the principles of that platform. which were. by the Republicans, then characterized as "a bundle of Populistic notions." are to- day recognized by right-thinking men as the principles which mean the per petuity of this republic. The Demo- cratic candidate for president on that platform was bitterly belied by the doubly-intrenched foes of civic free dom and by those who were oblivious to all else save their desire to pillage the people, plunder the country and practice their silent arts of corruption.
 Do you name sixteen to one? We been proved correct.
 Do you name the Income Tax? We reply that the Strenuousity of his Strenuousness is now at this good hour strutting about in borrowed plumage advocating the taxation of incomes.
 Who will ever forget that great campaign of 1896, it was not cam paign; it was bacchanalian orgy con- ducted by special privilege against Bryan, who refused to submit to the "honeyed glue of compromise" and who, therefore. was cruelty slandered and harpooneJ by the Hessians of the money power. Petted, perfumed and paid orators fresh from the temples of plutocracy. charged the Democrats with trying to destroy the national honor'' and subvert the social system, but by the immutable and deadly workings of the law of compensation. those persons who Falsely assailed the Democratic paltform of 's6. are now writhing in the agonies of ex- posture. The light of eternal truth has been turned upon their doings a nd disclosed that their transactions with tiduciary funds would put to shame the most rapacious school of sharks that ever sank teeth into human flesh That obscene brood of harpies. the McCurdys. Hydes. Depews and AL driches and all their fix. who screamed in behalf of national honor" are 1 now held up to the contumely of a ! world for they are insensibIe to honor national or otherwise. They long had their way. Their sickening sting drove many an honorable man to doubt the justice of this world. but with grim irony they now read that splendid stanza:
 All the worlds philosophers have brooded on the thing
 They have figured that the rule applies to peasant and to kings. .-That soon or late or right away. the law must be obeyed;
 For what we do we either pay or
 find that we are paid. And Kelly packs bushei of their words into a peck
 And said. The man who isn't on
 
 neck
 ] Nemesis will be avenged. so a day of reckoning came and the live thun- ders of eternal truth cleared the at mosphere and revealed that sfhes Re publican mis-rule is fast discouraging and scandalizing the Nation.
 Tt is .earnestly to be hoped that this Republican ma1adfninistratfon Is soon to end. for haughtily an3 with q jaunty air. the Roosevelt administra- tion rides over the cherished ideals Of the American people: The strenuous one demands of his appointees and subordinates an obsequious adulation of himself, and those who refuse to blow upon him the incense of fiattery. are by him denounced as liars and criminals. In nineteen hundred and four Alton B. Parker charged that the insurance companies were contrib ating to Roosevelt's campaign funds Roosevelt heatedly rushed into print and denounced Parker as malicious
