Arcst M Ling whose aspiFafiOrs Tor a place in the United States sen. ate have hronsht him into the south ern pari Of the territory should have heen gratified with his reception by Bishee audience last night. The town is not easily assembled around the stump and those who are at iracted are usually not very demon stratiye. When applause is given it generally means something.
 Though last night was not invitine 10 an out door gathering a very Food crowd had assembled in front of the postofiice al s o'clock, though ten minutes before eight. there was hard. ly a eorporats guard there.
 But the audience came with a rush and then came reversal Of the usuai order at Bisbee campaign meetings. Hitherto. fl there was fair attend ance at the beginning, it dwindled very perceptibIy before the close but last night the crowd grew with the hignt so that when the speaker was conciudlng, he was talking 10 more people than st any other stage Of tho meeting. He was also much more generously applauded than any of his predecessors in the course Of this campaisn had been.
 The speaker was introduced by Chairman Wallace of the Bi5bee Dem. ocratic club in a ringing democratic speech which put the audience into a good humor and into a listening mood.
 MT. Ling devoted very little time to himself or his own achievements, probably believing that if his per. 9ormances in the twenty-seven years of his residence in this territory were not already we'll known they were not worth accounting.
 He took up one personal matter. however, report published by a Phoenix newspaper that he was reg. ularly retained by the United Verde Mining company at the munifcent salary of S100 month. It had been stated in connection with the report that he was cheap skate to content himself with such a retainer With that opinion, Mir. Ling said he was heartily in accord. He said, how ever, thai he would disclaim any present or past connection with the United Verde. He regretted that he had never enjoyed a penny of the United Verde money and he more than all regretted that that powerful corporatien had never seemed to rec. ognize his legal talents.

Ling, and tells you that he has never, been employed by a cor. poration because of his scruples. you may set if down that he is telling an nntr1th- Great corporations are looking for brains in the legal pro fession, just as they are looking for the highest efficiency in any other de- pertinent"
 But Mir. Ling showed that in his relations with corporations he had been invaTibly on the other side. Tn behalf Of Delegate Cameron he had conducted a long drawn but success ful fight against the Santa Fe. Hs had prosecuted many damage suits against raiNoads and mining com. panies.
 It happened that at this jaBcture boy was circulating in the auiienco copies of a letter sent ont by IT. L. Dickson. general counsel for the Brotherhood Of Locomtive Bremen and Enginemen, 10 all members Of fhe order in this state urging them to support Mir Ling. calling attention tO his frenuent championship of their canse against the corporations and tn the fact that six years ago hc had represented the machinists in the in- function proceeding brought against them bv the Santa Fe.
