On Wednesday evening the Grand
Chapter and the G?and Commandery
held 6c"?eiotis and finished up business
except installation of officers, which
took place on Thursday, when the offi
cers of the vRriooa bodies, elected and
appointed, were installed w;ta the en

observed by the different branches.
REPRESENTATIVES OF 6ITEB JTJRiSDIC
TIONS.
Daring the eassion the different
bodies received the reoresentatives of
numerous Bister jurisdictions some
twenty odd Slaws and Territories being
represented besides representatives for
Canada, Nova Sootia, Guatemala in
Central America and from Mexico.
Toe representative from Mexico,
S. Ernesto Pe'.aez, oame on an im
pertant mission, representing the
Gran Dieta Simbolica de Mexico,
and asking for the recognition of
that Masnnio orgacizn&foo. by tbe
jurisdiction of Ariz;n-, and perhaps
tbe must importsnij iegisiaivs Dusmees
done during the sassion was the recog
nition cf 6be body of Free Masons rep
resented by S. Felsz by tbe nnani-
bers of Perfect Ashlar Lodge No. 12,
the entertaining lodge, were! most as
siduous and lavish in tbeir efforts to
make visiting Masons comfortable, to
entertain them and to make the oo
oasion one to b rdmembared for its
genuine Masonic spirit that shown
everywhere, "luminous as tbe noonday
sun." So marked was this that a reso
lutioa expressing the highest apprecia
tion of the efforts of Messrs. Benjamin
and Lewis Williams and other officers
and in fact the entire membership of
Perfect A3hlar Lidge.end the people of
Bisbee generally, was published signed
by the Grand officers of ail the Masonic
bodies that had attended the gathericg
and by large cumbers of the visiting
bretbern.
THE BANQUET.
The banquet took place on Thursday
evening in the upera ujum ana wss
probably the mos5 complete and well
managed aifiir of the kind ever held in
Arizona.
The Opera House was haadsotnsly
decorated with scnilax, and pnlms and

When the regaUr toasts bad been
disposed of there was a call for im
promptu toasts till thora had been a
most liberal expression of many o' the
noted Masons present.
The most notable epaochea of the
evening were perhaps those of Col.

Francisco, Scor Ernssto Palaez of
Mexico, who mnde a noted little

that tbey were listened to with interest
till four o'clock in the morning.

Republicans Celebrate Mark Manna's
Reeent Victory .
Ncgal.es, Ariz., Nov. 7sb, 1S97.
In honor of the R ipublioan victory in
the State of Ohio, and more especially
in honor of tbe triumph in that state
of Senator M. A. Hanna, the McKmley
club of this plaa kapt open house , to
night, holding a roost enooeeafol re
oeption, where over two hundred of the
leading people from both sides, of the
international line were entertained in
most hospitable manner. The doors of
the Nogales Athletic club were thrown
open at 7:30 o'clock. From that time
until about four o'olook the next morn
ing the festivities were, kept np without
even the ressmblanoe of a let-up.
The stage was embowered ia flowers
and Amerioan flags. It presented a
beautiful Eight and of itself waa an In
centive to tbe good fellowship and
geniality that seemed to posses ail those
who participated in this most enjoyable
affair.
The officers of the McKinley clnb oc
cupied 9eats on either side cf Hon. II.
K. Chenoweth, who was president of
the olub and was chosan tojaot 68 mas
ter of ceremonies.
Toe first cannon was tired at 7 o'clock.
From that time until nine o'olook anvils
were touohed erf at intervals of from
always be made to show in our favor
instead of against us.
It was the year of a people impatient
for a eight of the great Amerioan cation
blossoming forth onca again ia all the
glory of a bullion dollar country leading
tbe civilizad world ia every avenue of
human aotivity.
Daring the campaign just closed in
the "off year" States tbe personality of
Ssnator Hsnna has been interjected
into the antl-Rspublioan canvasses
everywhere, while tbe State of Ohio has
experienced tbe most heated political
contest in tbe history of the country.
From William J. Bryan down, every
man aod thing that oonld assist in de
feating Senator Hanna was pressed into
service. And all because as Chair
man of the National Republican Com
m it tee in 1S96 he directed the brilliant
battle that gave us William McKinley
for .President of tbe United States,
That they did not suooeed proves that
Sanator Hanna is immeasurably greater
than be appears when seen throogh op
position spectacles. Their failure ia the
oause of our celebration here this even
Ing.
The treatmaat aooorded Sanator
Hanna doss not differ, except in de
gree, from that whioh other men f ani
ons in Rpublioju circles have experi
enced in the past. Previous to 1SSS
Matthew Staaley Qusy enjoyed
an unsullied reputation. He
stood, with other eminent Republi
cans, high io the .'estimation of his fel
low men. The entire nation, regardless
of politioal divisions, proclaimed him
an honored oitizan of a grand common
wealth, a commanding figure in all that
party. Since then I have learned be
a tiger bas aa many lives na a oat J
oiuiuauj as alive vgniu lou liU Willi U
prey.
Again, from the teachings of
Hanna we learn that m man, doicg al
his power to icsore the snooess of
party, while be, equally with otbef
has the right to ask yet has no jJ
grounds npon whioh to demand re we)
for hie services. We find herb a pa
man who will aay, "I have stood io t
rront ranks oi the KepuDIloan paij
ever einoe its inception; I have nevl
received any federal recognition; I ba
made application to the President
an appointment, backed by the ba
recommendations that tbe count
oould afford and my olaima have bee.
overlooked or ignored," and he wil
oomplain of iajnetioe. Has euoh a on
just grounds of complaint? It ia ex id
cmatio that a man should be partis
from prinolple and wbea in bis day an
generation ne cas aone an in Die powej
to insure tne oontiouea aominatloa q
bis party, acting on the conviction tbar
by so doing he is advanolog tbe true its
tereeta of humanity, he has simply don
hie duty; and duty should be performed
irrespective of rewards.
Daring the national and State earn
paigoa we saw Mr. Hanna in the mide
of conflicting foroes, working with im
pertnrbable good temper, exhanetlee
patience, unoeasing effort, uniting net
rogenoua elements aod -combining tn
almost irreoonollable into a bond o
union acd strength that Insured eno-t
cess. Jttapubuoans, let na need the Ies-1
eon and sinking all personal ambitions

VALCE OF MASONRY.
"From the oommeccement of tne
world we may trace tha foundation of
Masonry. Ever since symmetry began
and harmony dieplojed her oh arms our
order has had a being. Daring many
ages and in many different countries it
has flourished. No art, no solence pre
ceded it. Ia the dark period cf an
tiquity, whea licrature was ins low
state, and tbe ruae manners of our
forefathers withbeid from them that
knowledge we now so amply share,
Masonry d if ased its icfloeace. This
science unveiled, arts arose, civilization
took place and th- prog-ess of knowl
edge and philosophy gradually dispelled
the gloom of igooranoe and barbarism.
Government being settled author
ity was given to laws Bud tbe assem
blies of to fraternity aoqiired the
patronage of the great find tbe good,
while iha taats of tha profession dif
fused uabonnded philanthropy.
Abstracted from the pure pleasures
which ar-sn from friendship so wisely
constituted as that w&ich subsists
smocg Mnsoas, sod which i is hardly
possible any cirau nstanoaor occurrence
can erase. JVJesouary is a science con
fined to no particular country but ex
tends over tne wh ile t fre8torial globe.
Wbarever the arrs flourish, there it
flourishes too. Add to this tbas by
secret and iuirioiable sigas, carefully
preserved amoar the fraternity, it be
comes an universal 1'inzuege. Haoce
miny advaatagsa are gainwd; the dis
tant Chines, tie wild Artrb and the
Amerioan 6svega ?ill euibraca a brother
Briton and know that besides tbe com
mon ties cf humanity, thera is a still
strocge? obi gasion to induce b m to
kind and friendly ofEoea. Tha spirit of
tbe fulminating priesn will ba tamed,
bnd a moral brother, though cf a d ffar
eat pirsuasiors, aaane bis eeteem, for
iDUlrnl tolertioa !a religious opinions
is one of tbe most distinguished and
valuable Ciaraoterietics of tbe craft.
As all religiocs teacb morality, if a
brother be f ucd to act th part ot f
truly boneit m;, his private specula
tivt opinions are left to God p.nd him
self. Thua through the icflaence of
Masonry, which ia raoooc'lable to tbe
beet policy, ail tbo-e disputes which
embitter life and sour tha tempers of
men, are avoided, while the common
good, the general objaefi, is zaalously
pursued.
Fi-cm this view of cu? eystem its
ctility most be sufficiently obvious.
The universal principles of the Art
unite, in one icdissoiuble bond of affec
tion, men of tbe moat opposite tenets,
of the mosk distant countries and of the
most contradictory opinions, bo that in
every nation a Mason may flad friend
aod ia every climate a home. Such is
tbe nature of our institutions that in
the lodge, which is confined to no par
ticular spot, union is oamented by sin
cere attachment nd pla&sars recipro
cally communicated in the cheerful ob
esrvacce cf every obliging office. Virtue,
tbe grand obj oo in view, luminous as
tbe meridian eao, shines refulgent on
tbe mind, enlivens the heart and
heightens coo! approbation into warm
sympathy aad o.jrdt&l attention."

o ciocb tne display or nre-worss eom
menoed. A very creditable showing
was made considering tbe short time
that had been devoted to the prepara
tion of the programme.
Two orchestras furnished tbe music
for the evening. The regular band un
der the leadership)! Professor Gutier
rez treated the andienoe to some very
choice selections, while the Ladies'
iiianaolin club rendered sorc very
pratty pieces that were heartily ap
plauded. At nine o'clock tbe formal exaroises
were initiated by P.-asidant Cheno
weth. He extended a warm welcome
to the gues'.s of the McKinley club
whioh organization, he said, bad re
garded it befitting that some demon
stration should be mada by it in recog
nition of the Rspublicau victory in Ohio
which had, been the real battle ground
of the "off year" elections. Especially
should all good Republicans rejoice that
Senator Hanna had won the legislature
of the Backeye State against the com
bination of all the hostile elements that
were lined up to briag about bis defeat.
H:s politioal enemies bad neves forgiv
en him for the masterly oampatgn
whioh he waged last year for the Re
publican party and they were" bent npon
humiliating him before tbe world by de
feating him for Senator. He bad how-
everwon over all opposition and in his
victory there was abundant oauae for
the Republican party every where to
celebrate the event.
President Caenoweth concluded ic a
storm of applaus ncd introdaoed Hon.
3. J. Daok worth, who spoke bs follows:
ADDRESS BY HON. S. J. DUCKWORTH.
Mr. President, Fellow Citizens of Ne
gates: la the popular movemant of last year
which resulted in plaoieg Willibm Mc
Kinley in tha Presidsntal chair, the
Pima County MoKicley Club occupied
an honored acd honorable .station. We
are here this evening to join it in cele
brating an event fraught with the
greatest importance to the country in
whioh we live and bearing more or lees
on every branch of the national ad
ministration. The great victory of William Mo
Kinley at St. Louis in 1896 over the
combined forces of all tbe political
machines in America was due, as was
wall said by the distinguished leader
who presided over the National Repub
lican Convention of that year, to the
tact that 1896 was a year of the peo
ple. Yes, indeed. This was the year ot
people who believed that the oiouds of
doubt and fear and gloom that hovered
ever us should be dispelled and vanish
forever from Amerioan eo:1 befcre the
sunlight of American industries re
vived. It was the year of tbe people who be
lieved that American capital should be
employed in American oommerce and
prodaotive enterprises instead ot being
at reat in tbe darkasss of safe deposit
veu'ts.
It was tbe year of tbe people who be
lievrd that American lubor should ba
employed in American factories earning
tbe daily wage that it deserved and of
whioh it caver should have been de
pr vrd.
I; w.-.a the year of tbs paople who be-l-evt-d
tbtit the national treasury should
eogged in ensealling instead of in
increasing tta National debt.
1 was the year of th peo'e who be-
great State of Pennsylvania, a patriotlo
Amerioan, loyal in every sense to bis
country and its institutions, worthy in
all respects of the confidence and
esteem ot all good Americans.
Mr. President, yonr olub is oertainly
deserving ot commendation for the
eminently appropriate aotion it has
taken In oelebrating the victory aohiev
ed in the Buokeye State. Sterling Re
publican organization that it is it could
hardly have done otherwise; nothing
less was to be expected of It. Senator
Hanna, in the oanvass juBt dosed, rep
resented tbe National Republican party,
He etocd for. its principles. Ha battled
for its rights. He presohed Its gospel
He defended its honor. Against him
were arrayed all the'elements that reject
Rapublioan teachings, that spurn Re
publican dootrines, that give battle to
Republican polloies, tbassek to hinder
and embarrass Rapublioan administra
tions. He bas oonquered them all
He bas swept them off the face of tbe
earth. The star of Republicanism still
twinkles merrily a fall orb, shedding
luster and brillianoy, throughout the
world of American confidence in Re
publioan statesmanship proclaiming
the perpetuity and stability of Ameri
can institutions. (Cbeere).
Following tbe address musio, appro
priate to the oooasion, was rendered by
the orchestra, whereupon Judge Eb
Williams, Ithe old warhorse of the Mc
Kinley Olub, was introdused and spoke
in part as follows, the audiecoe inter
rupting him time and again with hearty
and enthusiastic applause:
ADDRESS JUDGE EB WILLIAMS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle-
men: Tonight, away out here in Noga
les, in tbe Tarritory of Arizona, on the
far-eff ragged edge of national political
reoognition, we, the Rjpubltoans of the
and thus united we will ia future con
flicts bear aloft the banner ot oat party
and plant it on the walls of euooees
This I know we will ao Bnd so, Mr.
Chairman, send to Mt. Hanna out
hearty graftings, ooai.!.sdVwita the s
snranoe that when Arizona shall be ad
mitted as a State there will be two
more right-line Rapublioan Senators
added to the Congress of the United
States."
The Ladles' Orchestra again played
one of Its sweet eeleo lions, after whioh
President Chenoweth delivered tha
concluding speech of thfl evening, ex
tending the olub's .invitation to all
present to attecd the- grand ball with
which the festivities were to be closed.
When the grand march was played It
transpired that the large hall ot tbe
Athletio olub, all of whioh had been
oleared and prepared for the dancers,
was utterly insufficient to accommodate
tbe orowd. There was the largest at
tendance at this ball ever B6en in this
section of Arizona.
The festivities lasted no til 4 o'olook
in tbe morning. At 11 o'olock refresh
ments were served to all present. The
entire programme was carried oot tn
the most complete and creditable zsan--ner.
Much praise has been bestowed
upon tbe MoKinley Club for the excel
lent entertainment provided by It.

THE END IN SIGHT.
McKioleyOlub.bavemettooelebratethe Snpreme COUrtMOYCS ia the
victory of our party in tbe State of Ohio
and to show our appreciation of the
services to tbe party ot tbe Honorable
Mark Hanna, to whose efforts that vic
tory is mainly du9 and who, in the at
tack made upon the party .lines, was tbe
real chjaotlve point ot tbe attaok.
While we are so assembled we thank
the fair ladies of oor town who grace
our assembly by their presence and we
extend a hearty welcome to the men of
other political faiths wQohave.aseem
bled with na.
We learn that victory is the result ot
Indefatigable labor and that above all
things we should never underestimate
the power of our political enemies; that
no indication of weakness must be ac
cepted as conclusive ot their inability
to struggle. I remember that during
the last campaign, in a harangue whioh
I delivered in the opera bouse at Tuo
son, among'other things I said: "That
great bark, the Damooratio party,
freighted with illusions, lies stranded
on tbe rent of its own errors acd eacb
wave that rolls in npon it from the
great ooaan of American thought car
ries away some mast, some bulwark,
6oma spar, to be bashed against the
rooks of publio detestation acd carrtad
baok by tbe undertow of derision and
oontempt and scattered so far and so
wide that all tbe wreckers of the Dam
ooratio party will never be able to gath
er enough of its shattered fragments to
build a catamaran on which a man
could paddle across the muddy
puddle of a town election into tho office
of PoundmaBter." Aod when I said that
I believed it. Toe Damooratio party
was disrupted, torn in two, a house
divided agaicBt itself and my conclusion
would have been true, given a like con
dition of things, of any organisation ct
