The Silver City Fire Company. with
their Babcock engine, will go to Viz
ginia City on the Fourth.
The Enterprise says there is probably
no FIRE company on the Pacific coast
more "we!l-to-do" than is Young
America Engine Company No. 2 of Nir-
ginia city. They not only own tho
house in which their engine is kept. but
also own several other buildings, which
they rent. Their monthly receipts for

several times been offered $4,000 for
their property, but prefer keeping it.
No new members have been taken into
tho company during the past three

property each member would receive
about $1,000. Instead of dividing,
however, they even now have their eyes
on other property which they think of
purchasing.

At the Democratic ratification meeting
in Virginia q speaker asked: who
was it that robbed the Government
A voice said: "The Republican party"
"Who Is it that is willing to rob the
Government" cried some one. The
Democratic party" was the answer.
At a Democratic ratification nesting
in Virginia City. Thursday evening, Gen
eral kittrell made speech. OF which the
Enterprise gives the following report:
The general commenced in calm and
persuasive style, and evidently meant to
make generous and conservative speech.
The boys were firing rockets around him,
however, and in little while it was the
Kittrell of old. He was swinging his
arms and hurting denunciations with all
the fervor which made him famous IN
the deserts Of Eastern Nevada. General
Kittrsll is of that peculiar temperament
which makes him take to a Democratic

kitten to hot brick. His thems last
night was the glory of the Democracy.
their love for the Union and Constitu-
ton, and the utter damnablness Of Re-
pubiicapisn, and all prominent Eepubii-
cans. He said. with tremor OF deep
emotion, that for sixteen years the De-
mocracy had been out OF power, and
counted over the sorrows which the
country had suffered because of that
misfortune. Like Ma jor Foots, he dis
claimed any intention to say vindictive
things, but, also as in the case OF the
Major, it turned out that the burden OF
his discourse was the sins of the Rapub-
lean party and the pressing need Of
reform
He asserted that the Democracy had
never yet performed an unconstitutional
act-never yet Endorsed HI unconstitu-
tional messure--and rolled the names OF
Grant, Schenck. Belknap, Babcock,
Blaine, and rs many moro prominent
Republicans a. he could remember, I'M

utter and total depravity. He did not
get solidly down to mis- work. however,
until he struck the Chinese question.
If there is any one thing Kittrsll is more
at home on Than another 1t is this Chi
nsse business. He has practiced the
theme every two years for great many
years, and the only change he makes In
tho argument this year is to read the
several planks in the different platforms
on this point and show how superior
that of the Democracy is to the one the
Republicans adopted. In the course of
his speech Kittrell was often applaudsd.
