The new daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1872-1873, 1872-10-07

On Saturday about noon the Executive
Committee of this club learned that Sen.
ator J. W. Nye would address them if in.
vited SO to do. The invitation was ex-
tended, few posters circulated to that
effect, the Capital brass band engaged
and the place of meeting changed from
the club room to the theater. At
O'Clock the room was crowded, when the
band came in and took their seats and
| opened with music After which Vice
| President Lewis Doron introduced the
speaker James W. Nye, who was greeted
with loud and long cheers The spea ker
said that eleven years ago he left the At
lantic coast and came to Nevada to make
Carson his home. This was in the dark
days Of the rebellion, when States We're
tearing themselves away from, and being
arrayed against the Government, and
treason was rife and running all over the
county. 1t was not known what course
California and Nevada would pursue. He
came here with the intention and deter
mination to make Nevada loyal and Re
publican. But few can now realize the
trials and dangers of those stormy times
His e1ertions, coupled with the loyal
element he found here, were successful,
and in 1864 the new State of Nevada was
created, which has honored him by near
ly eight years service as her Representa-
tive in the United States Semitic Du-
ring all this time he had endeavored to
serve his State and the Republican party |
as best he could in all the interests that
have come before that body. The speak |
er said in 1860 the great Democratic |
party that had been in power for SO long
was defeated by the lamented Lincoln, |
when it was found that from the noble |
principles of its early founders it had de-
generated to band of thieves, robbers
and rebels. All these long years since,
we have been fighting this same disband-
ed band of kuklEx, who had been con-
stantlv endeavoring to get into power
again, 10 reverse all that had been accom-
plished by the rebellion and by the acts
of Congress subsequent thereto. This
party had become SO desperate and mean
in their desire for office that they were
willing to combine with any man or
men, and pretend to endorse all that the
have accomplished in the
last twelve years, for the sake of once
more getting into power, but as history
repeats itself, no sane man could believe
hem sincere. The adoption of such men
rs Greeley, Sumner, Schurz and others,
who had bitterly fought them for a life
ime could be for no other pur-
pose than for power, in hope of
lividing the Republican party. These
men talk of an honest administration
an We expect honor from men of their
ecord That he did not know what
Constitutes statesman if President
Grant is not one; but that Grant seems
o know just what TO do and always does ,
t well, and that he considered was the a.,
est of true craftsmanship. We give but ,
very brief outline of his speech which
coupled nearly two hours and was, as
sual, eloquent, forcible, logical, and at
INES, amusing; holding his audience
pell bound OF. cheering loudly at his c
arcasm and humorous wit. None de l
lred to leave, and the house was crowded Il
ntil the speaker closed. He concluded {
Y saying he had long been Republican "
nd loved that party of progression and \
'eedom as his own life; that nothing s
ould eveg make him desert it or grow
DID in its interest; that it had been said
lat Nye's time was short, and that he ~
ould soon be shelved; that the verdict ,
the people be what it may he should u
ways feel that he had done his duty to q
Is State, and should never cease to Ia Il
or for the interest OF the party-for the W
ork of this party was but begun, and it II
ust, and by the will of God, would ac- IL
'mplish all its labors of progression
I'd freedom before it surrendered its
,wer "
