 Never before iu The history of Va. yapni county Va, there such great and impressive political demonstration %. was witnessed last night at the Elbs rhcatcr The structure was pack ci from pit tu dome, The ai~lcs were crowded and many were unable b gain admittnucc. Prescott never saw anything like it before and ii will not see it agnin until Cameron returns from Washington bearing with him The great and priceless gift of state. hood. Then there will be another great out pouring of the people and thousands throughout the territory will acclaim the sturdy son of Coconi- no to whom they entrusted their suf. frnges.
 Many there have been who refused or were unable to believe the telc. graphic reports that have been pub. lshcd in the Journal Miner, of the immense crowds that have greeted the Republican candidate at every point in his tour through the south. land. Last nights meeting must have convinced the most skeptical, for not only was the crowd record breaker for Prescott, but it was n tidal wave of enthusiasm from the time that the band played the patriotic strains If the "Star Spangled Banncr' and the entire audience arose to its feet and gave vent to wild and spontaneous cn. thusiasm as Cameron, accompanied by hN''AA lss aiNAN NiH'llt lft fNs ' iNIk, lF Roy Anderson and the county candi. dates came upon the stage, to the time when Morrison concluded with his scorchiug denunciation of the manag- CTS of Mark Smith, whom he charged were responsible for concocting and publishing the anonymous, cowardly and mendacious attack that was made in the Democratic organ of this city yesterday morning,
 Standing room was at premium when Hon. Robi. r.. Morrison, as the lavapai member of the Territorial Ex- ccutive Committee opened the meet ing. He said: "We are gathered here to do honor to the man who has been selected to lead the Republican party to victory. (Applause.) We are here to express our confidence that he will be successful in his gallant fight (Ap. plnusc.) He is man who does no. live in the memory of the past twenty years. When he was nominated by an unanimous vote on AugusG 22, he was acclaimed as a winner and his has been triumphal tour throughout the Territory. He belongs to the people who have made Arizona and he is a man who has a part in it's history. We all believe that Arizona will be Re publican and because of that result VIC are confident that statehood will come at the short session of Congress-
 Immense applause followed these re- marks and then the Glce Club of six voices was introduced, which sang n Cameron song set to the music of "The Battle Cry of Freedom" tho words of which were composed by Judge D. F. Parks of this city. The song made big hit and the singers were obliged Co respond to an insistent encore. Tlis is the chorus that was sung;
 Arizona forever, lIurrah, boys, hurrah' Statehood is coming up with the star.
 We will rally in her cause, boys,
 lIurrah with might and main,
 Shouting, IIurrah, boys, lIurrah for
 Cameron.
