TIE SPEAKING LAST NIGHT.

The Republicans brought their heavi-
est guns to bear on the opposition in
Winuemucca last night AS the par.
ties are not divided on any national
issue it is very difficult for speakers to
create much enthusiasm, hence the
public gatherings of both parties during
the present campaign are compare
lively tame. For want of living issues
to discuss Messrs. Daggett and Wood
burn confined themselves almost ex-
clusively to dead ones which were laid
in the grave, never to be resurrected,
years ago. Those who attended the
fuueral--the soldiers who fought in the
warfare aware of this fact; but as MIR.
Daggett was perhaps engaged in
digging that sepurchre in the shadow
of Mount Davidson. y and Mr.. Wood
burn was endeavoring to convince Com.
stockers that secession was insti6abie
under the Constitution. they may not
have heard of it. However that may
be. both gentlemen talked last evening
as If the war was not yet ended, aud
they had to bear the brunt ofthe battle,
though when the battles were fought
they were engaged as above stated.
On the Chinese question Mr.. Daggett
was also forgetful. aud now in the vain
hope ofcatching votes from workingmen
declares in the style of the San Francisco
sand lot orators that Cinnamon must
be driven from the country. Mr.. Dig

tain very different views Of the Chinese
question from those expressed by Mr..
Daggett. editor of the Enterprise and
Clerk Of the United States District
COURT of Nevada. AS editor aud Clerk

Humboldt county aud the Miners
Unions. who sympathized With them,

lean Senate was about to ratliy the
Snrllngame treaty, to solve the CHI

advises the people to adopt. 1t APP
pears that Mr. Daggett, candidate for
Congress in 1878, can devise 10 other
or better way of ridding the country of
The Chinese Incubus than that adopted
by tbs miners of Humboldt IN Jann,ry,

ference is plain that miners, or rutfiaus,
AZ the Enterprise styled them, knew as
2uch about solving ths Chinese prob
hem in 1869 as r. III Daggett, candi-
date for Congress, does nine years
&ier.
On the silver question, matter in
which the people of Nevada are partic
slarly interested, Mr. Daggett and MIR.
Noodbnrn appear to be as ignorant as
they are OF the close Of the war. Both
gentlemen declared that the Democrat
ic party is opposed to remonetizl.
ZION, when ii is a well known fact chat
ihe Democratic House of Representa-
hives passed a silver bill authorizing
the free coinage of that netai by the
Hinss, long before Senator Jones could
prevail upon the Repub.icun Senate 70
pass the bill rsinonetizing silver, even
with the free coinage proviso stricken
cat, aud neither alluded to the
fact that the bill as passed BY Congress
VAS vetoed BY a Republican President.
In discussing fares aud freights Oh
kaiiroads, both gentlemen took occasion
to blame the Democrats, when 1t is d
! arty has been powerless for good or
evil as lay makers IN Congress or the
State Legislature, since r.iro Ids We're
built ia Nevada. On almost every
question discussed the gentlemen stal-
uied themselves by going back Oh
their former opinions and faisihsd the

lie would rather be right than be
president,'' but Mr.. Daggett conveys
the idea, to those familiar win his
