THE FINAL RALLY.
Great Republican Enthusiasm In
Dayton.

TIE campaign was closed in this
county on Saturday night Ivy grand
demonstration in Dayton. The an
nouncement that H. f. Bartine would
speak drew large audience. As
many AS could get conveyauces went
dowo from Silver, and large num-
Der, accompanied by a band of
music and brass cannon, came from
Carson. This was showing patriotism
and devotion alike to the speaker
and the party such as is seldom wit
messed. Carson is about twslve miles
distant from Dayton. Mr.. Bartine
lives in Carson, where he is employed
in the U S. Mint. He has never
been known as a speaker until the
emergencies of the present campaign
called him forth. He has been APP
piauded everywhere tllat he ha. gone,
and has received general recommen-
datlon from the press. Having for
merty lived in Dayton, his speech
there on Saturday night was of more
than common interest.
The meeting was presided over by
l.. l.. Crockett, who introduced Jas.
Crawford, Superintendent of the
Mint. Mr.. Crawford made q neat
speech OF about twenty minutes dura-
tlon, which had reference mostly to
local affairs in the county. When
he had flashed, Mr.. Bartiue was in
troduced, and entertained the audi
ence with one of the most brilliant
speeches of the campaign. 1t was
full OF strong points, and there was
no covering up Of deficiencies of IN
formation with skilfuily .arrayed
words. Mr.. Bartiue is promising
young orator.

A Charge Refuted.

A charge has been made against Park

Recorder, that, if elected he would not give
his personal attention to the Office, but
would employ nephew Of DR., Hazlett TO

he was candidate for the office for the
beueft OF the nephew solely, and had no in
tention himself of doing any office work

Another Gr0undless Charge.

IL has been circulated that Mr.. Kennedy OF
Dayton, one of the Republican nominees for
the Assembly. has been accustomed to en-
ploy Chinamen instead of white men in his
business. Mr. kennedy tells us that the re-
port is not altogether true. He is opposed
to Chinese immigration; he has never been
an sdmirr of the Monaghan race; he has
never employed members OF that race IN
preference to white men; in fact he has
never employed q Chinaunan ia his life.
Thus is another SANDER whelmed in a
vortex Of unvarished truth Lies well told
may sometimes pass current for whilv,
but truth. the plain, unequivoesl truth, is
best in the end, even in political cam
paign.
