BOURBON RALLY LACKING IN
 ENTHUSIASM
Event of the Evening Was Introductory
 Speech
(From Sundays Daily.)

Just what did County Attorney O'Sullivan mean at the Wilson Marshall ratification meeting in the plaza last night when he introduced the Honorable Mike Cuuniff with 1hc phrase, "He hath drunk of the Pyrean Spring and a little learning IS a dangerous thing" Cuniff was the Democratic president of the last state Senate. but the whirl of the political wheel in the last Demo cratic pow-wow flung the honorable president out into the cold world and not even onto the Yavapai Wil- Marshall Club executive com mittec.
 And yet through the whole meet ing the keynote of all the speeches was Democratic harmony and Re- publican splits. To the man up a tree it looks as if this Democratic harmony might be quite effective ii taken in small doses and far from home.
 Al seven thirty, loud anvils boom ed forth their husky notes of warn ing and the street crowds hastened to the plaza to see what the noise and red fire foreboded The Pres colt band appeared upon the scene and by it's seductive strains kept inc crowd from going back to it's Saturday night jaunt on the busy streets of the city. At eight the assembled imitation of a real moving picture show multitude began to get nervous and view the empty chairs and stereotyped china water pitcher on the speakers table with grave suspicion, but their fears were promptly ailayed when Dis triet Attorney O'Sullivan appeared between the court house steps and she Rough Rider monument That worthy official was there and there prepared for the worst--which he grandiloquently delivered in the form of a dissertation upon Dem ocracy ancient history, the Smith sonian institute.

The judge said that Baltimore was quite the proper place for Miss Democracy to hold her social. because in that city in iS6O the Democratic party split on the question of slavery and p years aftcrward. "again made one of it's ignominious failures by endorsing the candidacy of Horace Greeley" So it seems that in Balti- more the Democratic party is al- ways able to make some sort of a costly error
 In closing the judge cautiously estimated the Democratic majority at the polls in November al two million. But then it is only fair 10 add that the judge might have been prejudiced and it is only human to err.
 And the Band Played.

A PUBLIC LOSS.

Congressman w. c. Brantley Of
the Eleventh district has announced
that he will not be a candidate for
reelection, but will retire from Of
fee at the end of his present term
after eight unanimous nominations
and sixteen years of continuous SER
vice.
Mr.. Brantley has served with abil-
ity and distinction upon the leading
house committees, notably the COM
mittee on ways and means and the
committee on judiciary. To the vi
tai problems constantly demanding
the attention of both bodies he has
brought quick and well equipped
mind and a vigilant fidelity to duty.
On the floor of the house his reputa-
ton as strong debatcr and an apt
parliamentarian has been reinforced
by an intellectual poise and fearless
ness at once rare and effective.
His district, the state, the country
and the democratic party will lose a
valuable and energetic servant in
Congressman Brantley's return to
private life, and We shall be surpris-
ed if he is permitted to long remain
in retirement.

CARRIE NATION METHODS.

Carrie Nation is dead, and her
soul at rest, we hope, but her meth
DDS go marching on and the Won
der is that they are not only rein
carnated across the ocean, but in an
English speaking nation. She used
her Ratchet to smash fixtures in sa-
looms, to force the closing of Kansas
Joints. The suffragettes of London
have taken hatchets in hand to
smash plate glass windows, to force
parliament to give votes to women.
1t is a development and procedure
that but illustrates the intensity of
the convictions held by many Eng
lish women. Who would have ex-
pected women to have part in such
an exploit, involving the wanton de-
struction of property worth millions
of dollars? No wonder, as the tele-
grams say, the British public is nerv-
Gus, over-awed by the militant suf-
fragettes, and hardly known what to
expect next.
The British suffragetes, it is safe
to say, have not helped their cause
by the window-breaking lawlessness.
