THE EVENING NEWS.

notice, very large meeting was held last
evening in front of the Bank Exchange,
Gold Hill, to hear speeches upon the sub
ject of the adoption of the Constitution.
It was very large gathering of miners
and Others, who seemed TO be fully I'M
pressed with the Importance of the matter
under consideration-and if we may ven
ture an opinion, we predict that nineteen
out of every twenty, who attended Il,
have fully made up their minds to vote in
favor of the adoption of the Constitution
for a State Government. The meeting
was called TO order by the appointment OF
Hon. y. A. II. BALL as Chairman. and
Col, Watson, Secretary of the Yellow
Jacket company, as Secretary. The first
speaker introduced was Charles +. De
Long, who had been a member OF the
Convention which framed the Consutu-
ton. Mr.. belong spoke for about three
quarters of an hour, and made what we
consider q first rate and convincing
speech, and az the conclusion Of which
the audience manifested their appreciation
by hearty applause. The next speaker
called for was William NJ. Stewart-the
"big red-headed lawyer of the Gould 4
Curry"-to whose influence, political
strategy, and deviltry generally, most OF
the good or evil in the country IS attribu-
ted by some weakened individuals.
Bill Stewards oratory is about as awk-
ward as his graceful positions when adj
dressing an audience. However, he gets
along Slrialminqly with his hearers-he
scaGes into his subject like man who is
fishing for solid bottom and for Tahoe
trout worth catching. His speech last
night was composed Of good, sound
sense; It took well with the audience, of
which there was frequent evidence by APP
plause, and doubtless convinced all who
heard him of the great and Immediate
necessity of having Judiciary established
in Storey eounty-there being very
plentiful lack of anything like Judge or
a Court whereby the people might ind
out whether they owned any property or
not in this Territory. The remedy for the
evils now hanging over our Territory was
the adoption of the State Constitution on
the seventh of September. When Stew
art concluded, his hearers loudly applaud
ed him. COL John A. Collins next ap-
peared upon the stand, and made brief
and sensible speech. Almarin B. Paul
was also called upon, and responded In
some well-timed and excellent remarks
favorable to the adoption of State Gov
ernment. When he concluded he was
also heartily applauded. The meeting
then adjourned. Thus the Constitutional
ball is rolling on-and We feel confident
THAI when the polls close on next election
day, il will be found that Gold Hill has
gone almost unanimously for the adoption
of the Constitution. So mote it be.
