Democratic Meeting =
 Was We'll Attended

The democratic gathering st the city hall Saturday evening was well attended and the loyal Tombstone aiherents of democracy listered to some stirring speeches and cheering reports of democratic progress from all sections of the territory. County Executive Committeeman c A Mcdonald ably presided at the mee ing. Territorial Comm tteemen Burns and Hampton made addresses on democratic organization that en- unused the auditors, while Hon. Ben Goodrich, W G Gilmore, II L Pickett, and George Neale, being called upon, responded with effective addresses expounding the doctrines of dem1c- racy in a manner that eiic ted the approval of their hearers, judging from the applause that followed the speeches.
 The result of the meeting shows plainly that the democracy of the 'erritory is being well organized and some effective work, which will leave the G. o. P. outdistanced and out. chased in the coming campaign, may be looked for.

Both articles are copied in the complaint and $5O.0O0 is asked for each. J. c. Gung'l of Douglas ie attorney Tor the plaintiff.
 The suit is an unusual one. It is the first time in the territory that one newspaper man has sued another fer damages for iscersted feelings.
