SAX rose and said: / wish to make an
explanation about MY vote. [Cries of
az objectl" and hLeavel"] The ques-
ton was put, and leave vas granted.
Mr.. Lissak-When l arrived here my
purpose and intention were to vote for
Mr.. belong at the first and to the last.
But when l saw on yesterday the hon
,orable gentlemen, the. Democrats, all
going in solid column to my side, l
thought it was time for mel to leave them.
Applause in the lobby. The President
stated that a repetition would be the
signal for its being cleared. Twenty
years ago I became de jdeto q Republic
can, and I was and am a Black Repub-
licsn Of the darkest dye. A Union man
during the war, from the innermost Of
my heart, and. o Radical among Radi-
calls, l do not wish to renew the COM
pany, politically, of these gentlemen.
If on yesterday Mr.. Winters had been in
the ield.I would have voted for him;
but, there being 40 alternative, | will
cast my vote for James W. Nye.
Mr.. Dorsey (excitedly)-And pray
God that his associations and name shall
never be-

come to order.

cleared-Mr. Hutchins objecting-and
the motion was put and lost.
When his name was called Mr.. Swa-
ney rose and said: With leave l rise to
explain my vote.
Leave was granted.
Mr.. Swaney-This morning ! went to
Mr.. belong and told him my conscience
would not longer allow mi to vote for
him under the existing circumstances;
therefore, I cast my vote for James w.
Nye.
The calling of the roll was proceeded
with and finished, when, it appearing
that James W. Nye had a majority, the

SENATOR SYE's SPEECH.
Senator Nye-Mr. President and Cen
tlemen Of the Senate and House of As
sembly of the State Of Nevada: To say
that l thank you for this second endorse
ment and second elevation to the place
which by your kindness I am permitted
to fill, would DO but to give q faint echo
to the feelings Of my heart.
I am not unaware that the strife
through which we have just passed has
been marked with some degree Of Bit
terness, But 1 call you to witness that
l have INDUCED in no such thing myself
I sincerely hope a time may come when
officers may be elected without having to
swim literally an ocean Of obloquy.
The Importance Of the position, gentle
men, l think l appreciate better than l
did before. 1t is no holiday life. 1t is
life Of labor, anxiety, perplexity and
responsibility. For two years l have
stood in that body and have taken such
positions upon the several questions that
have arisen as my own judgment and
my own heart dictated. To me it was
no new lesson. For eighteen long years
/ had schooled myself In that direction,
and cad been looking forward for events
that have subsequently occurred.
I congratulate you, as members Of
great confederacy, that the interests
Of this great Republic are safe in the
hands to which it is now committed.
No treachery from within or invasion
from without can shake the foundation
upon which this Republic stands. Zap
plause.1 1t is based upon the eternal
principle of exact justice and right to all
men; and no other form Of government
can long stand. With the beaming in
telligence Of this century and of this
day, the world have resolved, whatever
form of government may be now,
to stand as you stand, clothed in the
Of citizens and having q
to a voice!in their affairs.
Ny course Is already marked out.
From it / shall not deviate. EApplause.1
From it / would not deyiate for all the
votes that Nevada could cast. ZAP
The course that I have pur-
sued is. tho course which I think the
judgment of this State has endorsed.
Had It not been, Mr.. President, for that
fact, I should have felt no anxiety as to
the result of your deliberations; and /
may be permitted to say that l felt far
more interest for the verdict that this
State should render upon the great is
sue Of the day thanI could possibly
feel for any personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or
iI.
