Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-10-25
Speeches by Deal, Kittrell and Ellis.
GREAT

At dark, last night, two bonfrcs were
blazing high at the intersection Of Main
and Buel streets with that of Bateman; the
anvils were talking so loud that the people
Of Ruby Hill heard the echoes and came
down; tn Eureka Brass Band discoursed
National airs upon the streets, and the re-
suit was, that an hour before the appointed
time for Messrs. Deal md ki.trell To com
mence speaking at the Opera House, that
large hall was crowded, and at the moment
Of the opening exercises it was literally
packed from the back Of the stage to the
limits Of the gallery. d. J. J. McLaugh-
lin, Chairman Of the Eureka County Dem
o%cratic Central Committee, called the
played a lively air, and, after a unanimous
vote, declared Mr.. D. f. Baily in charge Of
the proceedings as President. Bob Beatty
arose and put in nomination the following
as vice-Presidents and Secretaries Of the
meeting, and they were elected:
Weep Presidents : William Arlington,
Captain John l.. Platter, J. l.. Walker,
Judge r.. A. Thompson, John Williams,
Henry Radcliffe, L. Brandt, DR.. NJ. II.
Chamblin, A. W. Campbell, Richard Willis.
William Stephens, A. +. Titus, David Man
helm, j. v. d. Perry, John T. Baker.
secretaries A. i. Kaye, Frank Clough,
and C. H. Cl4y.
The President introduced Mr.. w. L. r.
Deal to the audience, who received him
with an applause such as has not been
heard during the present campaign. Mr..
Deal said he should address the people be
fore him as men who had not pledged their
votes, and said !:
! am a candidate for a high Office before
the people of this State, but | scorn to ac-
cept the Office or any Of its honors if it cam
not be obtained except through fraud.
misrepresentation and villainous aspersion
OF private character. Applause. A nom
I nation for office does not make a sc0undrel
u better man, or an honest man any the
worse for it.
Wien | consented to accept the nomina-
! ton for Congress | had no idea that Mr..
Daggett would be my opponent. j found
that Dagsett. Ike a squint-eyed man, APP
peared to be looking towards the Gnberna-
torial nomination, when in reslity he was
scheniny to secure d seat in Congress. 1t
was a part Of the cut-and-dried and pre-
arranged programme l had expected Mr..
Wren would be my opponent.
THE BULLION TAX VETO.
Governor Bradley, the Democratic nom
:nee for Governor, occupies the proud
position of meeting with the approval of
both parties, for both parties In convention
assembled, adopted resolutions opposing
any repeal or modification Of the revenue
laws taxing tho proceeds Of mines, and the
great act that has characterized Governor
Bradiey's administration was his veto OF a
bill modifying that law. A voicc-He did
we'll Yes. and if you elect him he will do
better. Applause.
DAG3Err AND TIE ENTERPRISE"
r. vetoinS that bill he has been viliied
by the Republican press, especially by the
TERRITORIAL Enterprise, II. NJ. Daggctt, cd
itor and proprietor. Let me show you
| how mean and base ii, IT shce. has become /:
Mr.. Daggett claims that he has only been
recently the editor aud proprietor OF the
Enterprise but that previous to his be-
coming the editor he ouiy wrote OF aud on
for the paper, but it is a curious circum-
stance that those who urge his election
claim that he has rem Tered valuable ser
vices to the party, and claim that those
services have been rendered as a writer
upon the Enterprise during the war, and
for the last ten years.
THE ARDoN OF HARRINGTON.
To glow how base the : Enterprise - has
become l will state that about tue time the
nominations were made, the :" Enterprise
stated that Governor Bradley had par
doned one Harrington in consideration OF
| political services rendered the Governor in
the election of 1874. Now, il this were
true, how base and vile an act it was in
| the Governor but, il il is false, how base
and vile is the author of the accusation.
| Yon will understand that the Board of Par
| dons il composed of the Governor, At
| torney General and the three judges of
| the Supreme Conrt. Al the meetin , Of
| the Board Of Pardons that pardoned Har-
| rington there were present. Governor
Bradley, Judge Il. G.. Whitman, a
leading Republican, than whom does not
live a more pure and honorable man +;
Chief Justice Hawley, also a Republican
and a man without stain, aud Judge Bslk-
nap, a man Of honor. ALI OF these voted
for the pardon Of Harrington. and yet it is
| claimed that these Just and pure men
united with Governor Bradley to
pardon a man from the State Prison, as
q reward for political services rendered a
Democrat. | exposed this falsehood at
Virginia City, and yet the same paper has
since reiterated the same charge with the
further charge that General Kittrell was
cognizant of the whole transaction, when
the fact is that Harrington was pardoned
in 1874, and General Kittrell was not a
State officer until January, 1875. This
is only a specimen, for there has been
scarcely an issue Of the paper since the
nominations that has not contained either
a suppression of the truth or the sug-
gestion Of falsehood.
l find that Mr.. Daggett, both here and
elsewhere. has accused me Of uttering false
hoods upon the stump, in language which
/ would not deign to initiate. 1t is certainly
cowardly in a man who, after a suggestion
in his own paper, upon M invitation to
meet me upon the stump, to discuss the
issues of the day. to first misstate what /
have said and then denounce me in Ian
guage too foul almost to repeat, as a liar"
Mr.. Daggett has long since ceased to be
held responsible for anything he
might say IN the stump or in
his paper. Mr.. Dasgett has not pretended
to discuss the issues of the day
upon the stump, but has simply attempted
to arouse the prejudices Of the people
against me because l happened to be born
upon Southern soil, and Mr.. Mighels
claims that l should not be elected to
Congress because / was placed in nomina-
ton in the Convention by Crittender
Thornton, Esq, Of this town. l have not
yet thanked Mr.. Thornton for the graceful
terms with which he nominated me, but
now, in the presence Of his fellow towns
men, thank him for the manner in which
lie placed me in the nomination..
