Judging by the number of candidates

in this county. Two more candidates
are announced to day for that Office.

James b. Hanna of Unionville. is a
hard working, industrious young man.

Convention backed by the delegates
from his part of Il the county. The
other. W. P. Dale. is an old settler on
the Little Humboldt and in early days
mined in the East Range near Dun
Glen. He announces that if elected
he will donate ten per cent. of the net

THE END OF THE GENERAL AS
SEMBEX.

The second extra session of the
10th General Assembly terminated
by adjournment sine die ON Friday,
the 2Sth ult. Had it been known
how it would terminate it would
have been much better that no extra
session were held. Enough that the
liberal compromises offered by the
creditors of the State failed of ac-
ceptance, and the State debt remains
where it was before the present As
sembly was elected, matter for the
people to consider. 1t would be a
dreary and Improbable task to re-
cord the circumstances which led to
the election of an Assembly capable
of such shameful trifiing with the
honor and credit of the State. 1t is
well known that during the canvass
only one side of the question was
heard; the advocates of State delin-
quency, prior to that a contemplate
minority, traversed the State OPEN
mOuthed with their clamor against
the creditors, and the leading poll
ticians, the men looked to for coun-
sci by the people, the men who had
avowed and still avow their convic-
ton that Reputation is ruin as well
as disgrace, on this head were silent
as the grave. Other matters (of adj
mitted importanee) were occupying
their thoughts, the Presidential cleo

SPEECH OF HON. c. G. SMITH.
Delivered in the General Assembly
December is, 1917.


December is, 1917.
The House being in Committee of
the Whole, and having under con-
sideration the compromise of the
State debt, Mr.. Smith said:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: | am disinclined
/ at any time to discuss any question
/ either here or elsewhere unless there
! is some necessity for so doing, and |
regret more than usual to do so now,
| because there seems to be an indiS-
| position on the part of a portion of
| the House to continue the Commit
/ tee of the Whole for the purpose of
/ hearing further discussion. | deem
| it my duty to say that 1 was one of
! those who favored breaking up the
/ Committee of the Whole, because [
! believed we ought to address our
/ selves to the business this General
! Assembly was convened in eXtTaOr-
/ binary session to transact. But
| whereas so much has been said on
| the question under consideration,
and because the question has been
so long continued, and has taken
/ such wide range, and 50 much has
/ been urged in opposition to the ac-
| ceptance of the terms Of settlement
of our indebtedness, | thought it
was perhaps my duty-One that l
/ owed to those who have hOnOred me
with their confidence by sending me
hereto at least give expression to

Mr.. Chairman, so far as | am able,
