REPUBLICAN RAL LY.
Wednesday evening at 7 o’clrck j
a special train arrived from Phoenix
bringing with it Gov. Murphy, Secre
tary Akers, the Indian band and a
large crowd from Phoenix and Tempe.
They were met at the depot by a large
crowd and escorted to the 00.-Op
Hall, where, a large crowd had col
lected and the hall was packed.
Hon. A. C. McQueen presided, and
after some introductory remarks
introduced Hon, N. O Murphy, Dele
gate to Congress, who made an able
and eloquent address.
The Governor was very appropriate*
and happy in his remarks, and was
listened to with marked attention by
the large audience. He thoroughly j
explained and refuted various charges j
against him and showed that they had j
no foundation in fact at ali.
He reviewed National issues and
cel forth his reasons why Arizona
should be admitted to Statehood at
once. -He also showed how he could
be of assistance in obtaining State
hood if elected as Delegate to Con
gress at this time, and his audience
seemed greatly impressed with that
fact, and applanded greatly, Alto
geiher it was a very able and con
vincing argument, and made many
votes for the Republican nominee for
Congress.
B. A - Fowler, candidate for the
Assembly, and A. J. Edwards, can
didate for District Attorney, made
a short spe< ch calling attention to the
merits of the whole Republican ticket.
After some music by the band the
Governor shook hands with all and
the meeting adjourned.
THE PROHIBITION PARTY.
According to announcement the
Prohibition Party held a meeting in
Mesa City. The evenng was un
usually cold, and the outdoor mret'ng
was decidedly chilly.
Rev. Mr. Dicker presided and there
was a fair attendance. C. H David
son. candidate for Delegate to Con
gress; J. G Hammels, candidate for
Assessor, and Rev Mr. McAfee made
able and interesting addresses. It
was quite noticeable that no one was
abused by any of the speakers, and
tha* nothing was stated that any one
could take offense.
Had the weather been warmer no
doubt there would have been a largo
audience

PERSONAL.
Some time ago the editor of this
I paper. A.P. Shewman, was nominated
for the office of Assemblyman by the
Republican County Convention. He
was immediately endorsed by the
| Populist and Prohibition parties.
Owing to modesty we have made
|no reference at all to our candidacy
j in the columns of this paper.
1 he nominal ion was practically un
j sought by me, but my friends insisted
j and here I am. I made a short talk
a few weeks ago at Mesa City and
stated my views generally on the is
sues now before you
If elected I will support no measure
which is not right, but will do n y
uttermost, to enact good and beneficial
legislation.
Our law? are all to be revised and
codified at this session of the legisla
ture. Aal am a practicing lawyer
and have been fur the past seven years
I may be able to be of some service to
you, as one can readily see that there
should be sonu- lawyers in a body
of legislators wh-ch proposes to over
haul and revise all our laws.
I favor the on tctment of proper it
j rigation legislation at once. Our water
| laws are in poor shape and must be
(straightened oui so as to speedily de
termine existing rights and stop vexa
tious and costiv litigation. lam
greatly interested in this matter as I
own seme land in this valley myself
if elected I will work and vote to
confer the electoral franchise upon
the weaker sex, and will do all I can
to enact a law which will permit '.he
ladies to vote at any and a’.l elections
in Arizona.
I favor the principle in legislation
known as the Initiative and Referen
dum, and believe that it would work
well and beneficial in this territory
I favor any proper legislation that
will protect the laboring and toiling
masses My long and active connec
tion with the trade unions should be
a guarantee of that fact
If elected I shall endeavor to enact
such legislation as will compel all to
be<.r their just and proper share of the
burdens of taxation
If elected, 1 will consider myself
| the servant of all the people of the
j territory and county
I have made but little canvas of
the county, and therefore cannot see
j the electors personally But now that
| I am in the field I desire to be elected
1
j I have resided in Mesa City nearly
eight years, am a substantial tax
l payer and have been identified foiup
; what, with the interests of this cnujjtv
land Mesa City in particular
! I have had business and professional
! relations with a.large, number of peo
; pie here, and J leave to their calm
! and considerate judgment as to
1 whether 1 am a proper person to send
: to the legislature. I will feel it a
special compliment if I am deemed
worthy of the votes of my Democratic
friends and neighbors
On account of illness and also on
account of my duties as publisher
keeping me pretty dose to home, I
have been able to see but a small por
tion of the electorate, hence I state
my views here and shall be .compelled
to depend upon py friends and sup
ported who have been so kind in the
past, to assist me in this matter anil
elect me to the office I npw seek.
I therefore take this opportunity
of soliciting your vote and influence
Your Obedient Servant.

IS NOW A BANK PRESIDENT.
The Evening Banner of Bluffton,
Indiana, quotes an article frotp this
payor dated Oct. 12 last in reference
to tho re-organization of the Jlesa
Oity Bank and says as follows :
“Every one without exception will
be deiighied to know that our former
townsman, John L Waring has bsen
selected to preside over the destinies
of the Mesa City Bank.
“Mr. Waring is a gentleman of the
highest integrity, conservative and
capable as a banker and a Christian
gentleman who will win his way to
the hearts of all whom he may come
in contact. Mr. Waring’s visits to
Arizona for the last two winters has
convinced him that his health >is safer
in that climate than it would be ip
this, which is his only reason for leav
ing Bluffton. He was not only a
trusted officer of the Btudabaker Bank
but the bank suffered a severe loss
when he severed his connection with
it as Assistant Cashier.
“Patrons of the Mesa City Bank
need have no fear of the safety of
their funds while Mr. Waring is presi
dent of that institution. Business
interests will be carefully taken care
of and everybody will be treated with
generosity, ns far as is consistent with
good banking.
“We congratulate the Mesa Gity
Bank in securing Mr. Waring as its
president and we predict for it a
bright future,”
Tho Evening News, of the samp
place, has a very complimentary ar
ticle about Mr. Waring, but lack of
space prevents us publishing it in full.
We quote one paragraph' as follows ;
“No young men ever lived in Bluffton
who had the confidence of the people
to any greater extent than did our
former townsman, John L. Wariug.”
