thMsiastio Audience.
Col. A. @, Ellis, Democratic nomi.
nee for Congressman addressed the
citizens of Winnemucca on the living
political issues. in Centennial Hall. last
evening. The band played patriotic
airs, and the house was we'll filled as
THE SPEAKER WAS INTRODUCED
By G. G. Biles, Chairman of the Cen.
trsl Committee. Mr.. Ellis said he had
40 fear for the destines of the country,
IF the party with which he is connected
does not prevail, though he waged war
againts the common enemy of Demecra-
cy and true republican principles. We
have on the side of Tilden and
reform - Mcclellan, Joe Hooker,
Morgan, MeClernard, Palmer, Rose
Grams, Sigei, Ewing, Franklin and
other Major Generals, and thousands
of the rank and file of the army, and
such war Generals as Blair of Michigan,
Curtin of Pennsylvania, and two of the
three living members of Lincoln's Cab
met; with such men for reform, victory
is certain. He said the
REPuRLIcAN PARTY rs SECTIONAL,
In declaring that no man born south of
an imaginary line should be trusted with
position. The Democratic party ostra-
cised no man on account of his birth
or nationality. American citizens
should be treated and respected as
such wherever born, and all men were
guaranteed by the Constitution the
right to worship God according to the
dictates of their own conscience. We
should address ourselves to the
LIVING PRESENT,
Not the dead past. Re oring the
silver dollar, which was demcnetized
by Republican Congress in the in
tcrest Of capital, to its old standard,
legal tender for oil debts public and
private, was of vital interest to Ne
vada. The Republicans attempted to
apologize for the passage of the bill,
making silver what it is, by saying it
WAS mistake. The Democratic House
gave them five opportunities to correct
the mistake, but they showed no dis
position to do it. They are always
making mistakes, and always unwilling
to correct them. He cast no reflection
upon any individual because of his
Republicanism, but he made war on its
principles. Hayes is child, nursed By
the committees, groomed by Zach
Chandler, fed by Morton on Cameron's
Cruel, with Ben Bstler's spoons. When
the Republicans began to SANDER Til
den the scholar, the reformer, and the
ring smasher. il was time for Democrats
to tell the truth about Hayes.
IHE CHINESE
Question was next discussed by the
speaker. He said he wanted the gates
sealed against the Mongolians, though
such sentiments were considered trea-
sonable by the Republicans, who wanted
the people to be satisfied with an in
vestigation of the subject. The Nation
al Democratic party was pledged to
legislation prohibiting the importation
of coolies and the immigration of
Chinese, and its success would insure
the prevention of both. In reply to
some silly questions, propounded by
De THE WICKED PARTNERS.
he said that J. G. Blaine was the
father of all the Southern claims pre-
sented to Congress, and that while the
Forty-third. or Republican Congress,
allowed such claims to the amount of
SIG, 600. 600, the Forty-fourth. or pres
ent Congress allowed only $l25, 900; and
the greater part of this amount was on
bills introduced in the Forty third Con-
gress. In the last Congress lao bills of
this character were acted upon, and
119 of them had been introduced by
Southern Republicans in the Forty
third Congress.
