upon u.s. A car load of coal oil came in this
morning and every thing is ablaze. Bust
ness on the narrow guage keeps up. Six cars
loaded with charcoal and three with square
timbers for the Eureka Consolidated arrived
to day and fourteen car loads of bullion went
out, The pay car left this morning to pay
the hands engaged on the road between here
and Palisade. Things are lovely. Eureka
is getting to be very important point
There is some talk on
POLITICS
And the boys are getting ready for the fray.
They are jnquiring as to the probable candi-
dates and canvassing the chances of those
who are thought of but not yet named We
have been closely questioned as to the move
ments in the west end but have been unable
to respond to the many enquiries. The prin-
cipal topic and the one which seems to be of
the
GREATEST INTEREST
To leading Republicans here, is the place in
which the next Convention is to be held.
They all want it here, and ought to have it.
The " Republican of this evening heralds
the claim of Eureka County very tersely and
forcibly as follows:
STATE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
In considering the question of the place of
holding our next Republican State Conven-
ton, it is hoped by members of the party in
Eastern Nevada that the claims of Eureka
will not be overlooked or ignored. This is
now the second city in the State and by the
completion of the Eureka and Palisade Rail
road easily accessible from all points. There
are here ample accommodations for the midi
viduals composing the delegations and for tho
assemblage Of the Convention Other places
which are not entitled to as much present
consideration as Eureka have in turn been
favored in this respect and now we put in our
claims Virginia City had the Convention in
1876, Elko in 1870, Reno in 1872, Winnie
mucca in 2674 and Carson 1876. 1t is GER
tainly Eurekas turn next. We trust that
the members of the Republican State Central
Committee and of the Republican Press |
throughout the State will see the propriety of |
this movement and will, in Justice TO lis, |
help it along.
And the Republican is right, The wishes
IF this populous and fourshng section |
should be considered Other counties have
oeen favored; why not this The old objec
ion as to stage travel is now removed. Eu-
'eka is more central than any point in the
State The stage lines from Lincoln, White
Pine, Lander and Nye al center here The
delegates from these counties, which have
lways been prompt in their attendance, will
re accommodated and favored. A large new
Hotel is almost completed; in fact from every
oint of view the proposition is feasible, de-
irable and worthy of consideration. Sweet
pirits of the State Central Committee "*hear
