Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-10-25
THE REPUBLICAN MEETING LAST
NIGHT.

As might have been expected, the Carson
Opera House was filled last night by large
and an intelligent audience, a large number of
ladies being present, to hear Judge Lewis
and Hon. William Woodburn.
Sam c. Wright called the meeting to order,
and Judge Hawley was chosen to preside.
On taking the chair the Judge made few
neat and well-timed Introductory remarks,
showing his usual good taste in not monOpo-
lizing the meeting, and with but little delay
proceeded to introduce Judge J. F. Lewis.
Judge Lewis is not stump speaker, nor
clear thinker, a good sensible talker, and
withal an impressive man on the rostrum
He claimed that Mr.. Kinkead was as
thoroughly honest as Gov. Bradley's most en-
and in very other respect the superior OF Gov
B. If every Republican in Nevada voted for
Mr.. kinkead, and there was no reason why
they should not, he would be elected by at
least l 500 majority. Judge Lewis then pro
ceeded to show up Gov. Bradley in the Hy-
man matter, the Reno State prison scheme,
the favoring of political friends by approving
relief bills, and the other executive eccentrci-
ties of Governor B. during the last eight
years. Judge Lewis gave the clearest and
most convincing history of the Bonanza
Relief Bill that has ever been given to the
people of Carson. He said he felt that the
measure was not popular one here in Car
son, and perhaps it required some courage to
understood, Gov. Bradley's action in vetoing
the bill ought to be censured. He showed
the Strengthened financial condition of the
State at the time the compromise was pro
posed, claiming that policy at least favored
its passage and declared on the authority of
a gentleman of undoubted veracity that Gov.
Bradley had promised to approve the bill.
1t is not in the way of dlsparagement, or
for purposes of unpleasant comparison, that
We state that Mr.. WOODBURY. was the best
speech delivered here during the present cam
paign, but as simple act of justice to this
gentleman splendid and manly effort. These
columns afford not the space, nor do we feel
able even if they did, to do Mr. Woodburn
justice in his speech last night. He treated
logically and forcibly the question of freights
and fares; showed up the insincerity of Dem
ocratic retrenchment drew graphic picture
IF the contrast in the records of the two po-
itical parties of the country devoted con-
siderable time to the Democratic Congressional
Mr.. Deal, showing that this gen
leman's prattle on the Chinese question was
he sheerest buncombe, and that the first &C
cursed Chinese treaty was ratified under the
Democratic administration Of James Buchan- |
N. Mr.. Woodburn brought up in review q
Dold array Of Democrats of California, sew
raj of whom had held high positions in the |
Democratic party, to show that John China
nan was "a marvellous proper man, being
he equal of any European immigrant, and |
title, if any, inferior to the average Ameri-
an citizen. The financial question Mr. !
Voodburn handled with ability and he proved |
iearly that the Democrats were the only men
Untitled to the name of intlationists He
lso showed in a mastery manner the absurd
y of most of Governor Bradley's claims for
n honest administration of Nevada affairs
Our reporter was forced to leave before the
ose of Mr.. Woodburn's speech, to which
lie audience was paying close attention, every
pint being enthusiastically received.
