Hfes he has introduced have conferred grea
y benefits upon the State Of Nevada, not o2lJ
:. in the way Of public grant. but everything
else that could be done for the advancement
d and welfare of this commonwealth; a gen
!. tleman whose voice has always been raised
in the cause offreedom, and whose vote ha.
J. always been cast for the purpose of elevatine
|. the down-tTodden, the poor, the oppressed
and the enslaved. Mr.. President and Sen
ators, have the pleasure of naming for this
j. position Mr.. William NJ. Stewart, of Storey
county.
Mr.. Haines-I rise to second the nomin-
: alton made by the gentleman who has just
taken his seat; and in doing SO but perform,
> pleasing duty, feeling and knowing full
: well that our action of to-day is simply re-
iteration the sentiment expressed through
out the State by the Union voters as their
; choice for this high, this honorable, and this
responsible position. We are now but cast
ing the vote which we believe the people cast
in the last campaign We have passed through.
We are but placing ia nomination and elect
ing gentleman whom the people, for the
past SIX months have endorsed. His record
it is unnecessary for me to dwell upon or to
speak OF. 1t is we'll known to the citizens of
Nevada. His untirias energy and effort to
sustain and foster the interests Of our new
Ststs havq become familiar to the mind of
every school boy. We met in caucus few
honorable gentleman to this position. AL,
or nearly all, the Union members of the
two Houses then virtually cast their votes for
| the gentleman for this high, honorable and
responsible Office; and we look upon Our
action OF to-day as but 4 reiteTation Of our
action at that time. as that was but relter
alton by us of that of the people, whose rep
resen.atives we are, as you night say, in a
joint convention. l trust that the course of
1 . h,b Al h,e
tory to every member; and the very fact Of
our not having heard an utterance to the
| contrary leads us to suppose that he occupies |
| the highest position in our gift with credit to |
himself and honor to his constituents.
Mr.. BonaiEeld-Mr. President: 1, is a
custom dating back to the organization of
political parties in this Country for those
who can harmonic in their views upon
questions of public policy and political prin
cIpes to place in nomination candidates for
the various positions filed by our public
servants. In accordance with this custom
and the instructions ofthe Democrats mem
bers of the Legislature, l arise to name
gentleman for United States Senator. 1t Is
gratifying to be able to present to this hon
orable body, and through it to our young and
growing State, the name of one of our most
worthy ciilZens-a gentleman of high legal
attainments. and who stands at the head of
lHt ptOlcSSlOu. du dCtudl IcSiueht VI
the State from its earliest history, even as a
Territory, his interests aye thoroughly iden-
titled with the interests Of our people.
While it will be bis pride and greatest pleas
uie to labor faithfully in the interest of the
people in all those questions in which We
may be affected locally, he is eminently +,
qualified and will take his pos ition in the I
front rank of American Senators upon all
questions of National concern. Believing as t
IN b. 81 az, h.
stitutional obligations and restrictions, he
will ever be found a hearty supporter of the 4
Federal Administration in all measures in a
augurated to stay the insidious encroach- .
ments of the maudlin Divinity of modern
progress upon Constitutional liberty and the I
rights of the State and citi-
zens. He would ever be found battling for a
he repeal of those obnoxious measures
which now stand in the way and will prevent
he President elect from putting into practi- r
al effect his cherished sentiment Let us a
nave peace" But, Mr.. President. he needs u
10 eulogy at my hands; he is personally and 81
avorably known to each member of both u
branches of the Legislature. He has gained
wide spread and creditable reputation on the Al
Pacific Coast for his abilities, his social rela-
ions, his gentlemanly bearing and uncom- &C
now him but to admire. l therefore have
he pleasure Of nominating Gen. Thomas II.
Williams for United States Senator.
Mr.. MOnroe-l rise simply to second the re
omination just made. 1t became my duty.
nd was equally my pleasure, two years ago, m
D neminate Gen. Thomas H. Williams as -
ne Democratic candidate for United Stairs "
enator. 1t now, sir, is pleasure l cannot -
,rego, of seeondin2 that nomination. -
Ma. Welty-I rise merely to add my feeble J"
ontribution to the eulogistic remarks that an
ave been made in favor of one of the candi- ~
ates presented here for the Office of United
tates Senator. l feel proud to have the AZ
rivilege of casting my vote for one who has iei
ably and efficiently represented the true
terests of the State of Nevada and Of the int
ation at large as the Hon. William NJ.
ewart. l believe that very much of the
ogress and achievement made, not only sp
ring the time when the nation was re- ior
living death blows from those who should
i've been its supporters, but since that ina
riod has passed away, in the work of res ias
ration, is owing to the efficient service at
e hands of Mr.. Stewart. l would not if l Hn
d il in my power. aid in the most remote
gree il. staying the work which it is sup Tea
sed by some. or advocated by some. is in !
e way OF perfect peace and restoration to Iso ,,
r nation. 1t is that alone, If no other con- \
lerations moved me that would induce me res
cas-, my vote as l intend doing. 1t is ina
lie to say that the measures referred to by pie
, Senator from Humboldt are in the way 1
perfect peace-that they are in the way of Der
: cherished idea of the President elect. fert
