waning ior inc discussion to commence
between the Hon c. w. Kendall and
Judge Goodwin. Bonfres burned.
anvils We're fred and the band discoursed
music. The speakers were little late
arriving, and the crowd became some
what impatient, but at last Mr.. Curtis
assembled the platform and introduced
Mr.. Kendall, who was most warmly and
cordially received. He commenced his
address by thanking the people for their
kind reception and stating that be pros
posed to discuss in friendly and cordial
manner the issues of the day-the
interests of Nevada especially-which he
thought far transcribed in importance
to its people the question whether
Horace Greeley or General Grant would
be the next President. -.
Seven years had passed since the close
OF the war and he thought no good was
now to be gained by bandying epithets
OF hate. He thought We mad home and
State interests that had better occupy
our attention; that in the isolated condl-
ton of Nevada its citizens had almost a
world Of their own, with interests that
required fostering and support. Mr..
Kendall then referred to the measures he
had introduced in Congress, and frankly
and fearlessly invited criticism. He had
introduced the Swamp Land Bill in ac-
cordance with a resolution passed by the
last Legislature of the State of Nevada.
This bill provided that the State should
acquire title to vast tracts of the best
land in the State. He believed the bill
was of great benefit, saying that if the
Government had given the State all the
land within its borders of course its cti-
zens would have taken it, then why not
take part when it Is offer, d. The State
has the power to reglate the sale and dis
position Of the land, to receive the pro-
ceeds and take the proper steps to pre-
vent them falling into the hands of spec
ulators. All the talk about disturbing
actual occupants was i'll founded. Mr..
Kendall then went on to explain why
Stewart was so persistent in his OPPOSE
ton to the bill. Mr. X stated that ii had
been reported that the Central Pacific
had paid attorneys in the Senate; he did
not know who they were but he certainly
thought the opposition to tue bill origin
at ID with the railway. The speaker then
explained his action and motives in in
Producing the bill for boring artesian
wells and also for supporting the Wheel
er exploring expedition and other mat
ters, which would directly aid in assisting
the development and improvement of the
State. He then asked whether it was
better for the memb r from this State to
d-vote his attention to sath matt rs
than to legislation on the Ku Klux in
Georgia, alabama and other States. Mr..
Kendall reviewed other matters, such as
the allowance of claims for expenses of
Courts, &c., while Territory, and his
Congressional career gene rally. He then
paid his respects to the Phoebe Review,
stating that paper had probably five or
SIX thousand reasons Tor supporting
Jones, but after the 9th of November IT
would sink into oblivion. After most
able, convincing exposition of his views
ON matters more nearly connected with
the State, and of his action in Congress
generally, MIR. Kendall concluded by put
ting some questions to Ju lge Goodwin
which he asked that gentleman to
answer.
Judge Goodwin was then introduced
by Colonel Sabln, and made somewhat
lengthy address. which WAS enlivened in
the early part by what the Judge called
Joshing Mr.. Notwithstanding some
amusing jokes at the latter's expense.
But about the middle of his speech, the
Judge got to reading law books, and that
was dry work. In answering the ques-

Judge seemed on the fence, and made
some very skillful evasions, but avoided
anything like plain and decided answers.
He closed with the usual Radical pabu-
lum, the greatness and goodness of the
Republican party in general, and Grant
in particular. He said he intended to
make no illusions to the war, but failed,
rs he lugged it in in spite of his express
ed determination.
Mr.. Kendall then replied, and most
successfully showed the inherent weak
ness of his opponents position, and how
the Judge had failed to satisfactorily an
swer the questions he had proposed in
his opening Mr.. Kendall closed amid
great applause, and three cheers were
given him with will.
Col. Sabin then proposed three cheers
for their next candidate, 1--WE suppose he
gives up the present one,l which were
also given; and the meeting separated
The meeting was very large, but the
most respectful attention was given to
the candidates, and tile best feelings
seemed to actuate all. When a good
joke was made, all laughed, no matter

clusion we can safely say that Mr.. Ken
dali fully and completely indicated
himself against all the charges made
against him, and the party must feel
proud OF their candidate and will surely
