The commissioners concluded
their meeting last Saturday, reject
tnS all bids tor the new bridge II
THE city, on Belyea avenue. The
commissioners have decided to wait
until spring, and then erect mod,
ern concrete bridge, which will
cost about $4,000. Com. Emerson
made the motion to this effect which
was seconded by Abbott. This is .
wise move on the part OF the COM
missioners, for winter is too near At
hand to attempt such a bridge, and
to attempt one of the old kind With
stone abutments would no. be wise.
The bidders made six different
propositions Saturday, the one max
ing the most favorable impression
was for a bridge with a hundred
foot span, and concrete abutments
The bidders weps Geo. w. Kenpae
The Minneapolis Machine & 81 a.
Co. and the Security Bridge CO. OF
Minneapolis. The Minneapolis
Bridge Co. was the low bidder,
$500, there bling but $50 difference
between the highest and the loves,
bids.

And now will the Gazette tell an anxious public who bouts in Mesa Grover is?

The republicans assert that there is to be split in the democratic ranks of Gila county this fall because the strong est democrats in the county are an- nouncing for office. What rot to build hopes upon. The democratic party will settle all differences in the county con vention and will go into battle with the common enemy with unbrokep ranks. That there is no particular scramble in the republican party for place is easily accounted for by the fact that there is no show of electing a republican.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

In his speech of acceptance, John w. Kern, democratic nominee for vice-pres- ident, paid high tribute to William Jennings Bryan. It is worthy of care ful reading and consideration by every voter in the land it typifies the rank and file of the leaders of the party; it pictures the kind of stock from which the rank and file is hewn, and it admon- ishes voters that if purity is to prevail, if the people are to rule that the prin- ciples of democracy must be upheld all along the line-in the selection of town ship officers, of territorial and national officers. Read what this distinguished gentleman said:
 "It is pleasing to me to be asso- ciated in this campaign with the distinguished gentleman to whom the standard of the party has been committed. For years we have been friends. I recognize in him man of spotless character and high ideals, always actuated by patriot ic motives and an earnest desire to promote the welfare, honor and glory of his country. He became your candidate because his nomina- tion was demanded by the rank and file of the party, which demand was emphasized by popular movement in his favor, which, as it proceeded, so grew in volumne and force as to become irresistible.
 ''He entered upon this campaign unpledged to any special interests, under no obligations to any unlaw- ful or other combination of capital, looking to no corporation for cam paim contributions - absolutely free to serve the people by carrying out the pledges of his party's plat form. While he is the foe to unlaw- full monopoly, and is prepared to lay heavy hand upon the lawless, whether rich or poor, without fear or favor, and to combat the en- croachments of greed upon honest endeavor, he is the friend of every legitimate business enterprise, whether conducted by individual or corporation, and will sympathize with the promotion of every move ment which makes for the welfare and prosperity of the country.
 "A distinguished republican the other day referred to his influence with his party as one-man pow CT. If by that he meant to say that MT. Bryan used the power, in marked degree, to mark the thought and arouse the conscience of the republic as no other man of his time, or if he meant that by his upright life, his consistent course, his appeals for right living, and patriotic action, he has earned the confidence and personal affection of millions of his countrymen, and gained the respect and admiration of all the people of the world who love liberty and humanity-then the distinguished gentleman was  right, with respect to the one-man power of William J. Bryan.
 ''Mr. Bryan has exerted no other power. He has had no subordinates to command, no office holders to direct. I think it may be surely stated that there were no postmas- ters, no other federal office holders in the Denver convention. Every delegate to that convention carried his sovereignty under his own hat, and as an independent American, free man, owing no allegiance save to country and to flag, cast his vote for Bryan, because in his heart he believed that the nomination and election of such man was de- manded by the best interests of the
