of life The political world is waking up
Last night there was martial music in thu
air; the light of our watch-fres was re
fected from the sky; rockets Lit up the
empyrean, and citizens were very much
astir. The Chairman of our County
Central Committee, Mr.. Geo. W. Bryant,
deserves great credit for the activity and
business-llke manner with which he at
tends to his duties; and the well-flled
theater and the prevailing enthusiasm at
tested the success of his efforts. The
meeting, which was one of the best we
have ever seen here, was organized by
the choice of Mr.. B. H. Meder as Presl-
dent and the following named gentlemen
| as Vice Presidents
Geo T Davis j. L. Blethen, A. B. Driesbach,
W. W Hobart b. H. Meder, Alfred Helm, Frank

The following gentlemen were elected
Secretaries: H. j. Peters, Chas. Martin.
Mr.. Stewart, being introduced, referred
to the unparalleled prospects of the
country and Of that of Nevada in particu
lar, alluding to the great value of our pro-
auctions and congratulating the citizens
of Carson upon the great prosperity OF
the place and paying, in connection there
with, very handsome compliment to
Senator Nye. In very calm and cir
cumstantial way, Mr.. Stewart explained
the nature of the workings of the mining
laws and the land laws passedfor the ben
eft of Nevada. He also explained
the nature of the attempt to pass a swamp
and overlooked land bill-showing, by
facts and figures that the thing sought to
be accomplished would have robbed the
school fund and feathered the nests Of
land sharks. Heaverred that in no State of
the Union have the public lands been SO
carefully reserved for the good Of the
people as they have in Nevada-nowhere
have the land Spectators been warded
off so successfully as they have here.
From this brief allusion to state mat
tiers Mr.. Stewart paid his attentions to
Horace Greeley, explaining his character
and telling how it happened that he had
concluded to quarrel with Grant and bolt |
the Republican party. Following this |
the speaker described the nature and |
symptoms of the disorder as it cropped |
ont in Sumner, Schurtz, Trumbull, poor |
little Upton and Fenton. The Cincin |
matt convention came in for very COM |
plete description. Mr.. Stewart said this |
excellent thing: That he didn't b ieve
that majority OF the people of the Unit
ed States could be induced to vote for
man for President who will not make
good Executive: and. he said, there are no
serious, competent thinkers who believe
that he ,no,ld make a good President.
The questions arising out of reconstruc-
ton were briefly reviewed. The magma
nimity of this government toward the
one OF whom has ever been
punished for treason-with that of France
coward the communists, thousands of
whom have b9eu executed, eXiled and
The insincerity of the
Democracy and their p-otestatiOns were
shown up in the senators peculiarly for
,ible manner; the record OF the Republican
party was contrasted with what Mr..
ireelev's latest associates and the al
les of the Liberals have done; and the
.bsurdlty OF the pretended attitude of
he Possuns and Liberals are fully eX-
libited Mr.. Stewart paid General ,
Grant very handsome tribute for his
curse in the army, and bestowed upon
lin the highest compliments for his adj
of affairs as President. j
With comprehensive review of the ex
sting situation, a glowing description
f the condition of the country under
republican rule and legislation, and an
ppeal to all Republicans to stand by the /
lcket. the speaker closed amidst loud ,
laudits.
At the close of Mr.. STEVE It's address,
senator Nye being called, made few {
emarks III his happiest vein; the band 1
layed Hall Columbia and the meeting
djourned with heprty cheers for Grant l
nd Wilson, Senator Nye and Stewart 1
