AUSTIN, October 30, 1878.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Since my last they
had what they called a Republican rally at
the Courthouse. Daggett and a sickly
looking chap, / think they called him Bar
tine, were the big guns. They had a bon-
fire in the street in front Of the Court
house, and the meeting was held inside.
Tommy smiler Triplet was master Of cerc-
monies, and nominated Doc. Wixom for
President Of the meeting. Doc. is one of
the leaders of the Republican party and is
erably advanced in years, but is a great
f~avorite with the ladies yet, and he is 60
ing to get men to vote for Mckinney by
| influencing their better halves to influence
them. Doc. was off on a little side racket
this night, and could not be found, and
Tommy nominated the bitching post, Gen
eral Jack williamson, instead. Jack ac-
cepted the honorable position with his
usual gracefulness, and then Smiler nomi-
mated the handsome editor Of the RereiLe
for Secretary, but the anthor Of the .'SaZ-
erac Lying Club" jumped up aud said, not
much, Becky Ann so then they gave the
| place to Charley Lund, Triplet's philan-
thropist, who balls out all the fighters only
about election times that get in Jail, and
is going to be elected Recorder with the
Odd Fellows vote. While l think OF it,
Fred Hart is pulling on the Republican
bit considerably, and galloping sorter side
ways. The true bonanZas are mad at him,
but if anybody calls him a Democrat he
| naarIy a~,,laln5 He calls bifnQalf an anti
Bonanza Republican. But about
THE GREAT RALLY.
Dasgett chawed shaving soap, and tried
to show the people that this country is
threatened with another war Of secession.
His listeners thought he was Rip Van
ont that he war was over; next day the
Democrats we're laughing and asking each
other if they knew the war was over. Dag
gett got as hostile as Sitting Ball, and
tell him that he was a liar. Smiler ac-
cepted the commission with a look that
seemed to say, Il am no: the one to en-
tirely shirk a duty, and will compromise
the proposition, and tell Mr.. Deal to take
~ ~ ht IA lhAO ti1 hAS
Charley Lund seemed 10 endorse Colfax's
view of the matter. Sitting Full went on
SETTLING, and boiling and ripping about
Jetf. Davis war claims, Southern
newspapers, particularly the Walk
along John States. aud u little paper pub
lished on the line of Missouri aud the In
dian Nation, said he used to keep n pie
shop in Sacramento and irtended to be
buried in Nevada. This feeling assertion
seemed to touch General Jack somewhere,
for he bowed his face into one hand while
Smilcr raised him a hand and ven down
into both OF his. Mr.. Daggett, finding
that he had drank up all the water in the
pitcher, hurled the Walk-along John States
with a screaming hiss into a crowd of men
who want four dollars a day for their labor,
aud sat down.
Mr.. Bartine nov got up and said Mary
had a little lamb with its fleece as white as
snow, aud everywhere Nellie went the lit
tie sheep was sure to go. This was too
meek for the boys after Dasgett's sword
exercise, and they commenced to slowly
| file out of the hall. l stayed to hear him
through, and he put me to sleep like a dose
Of morphine. The meeting was a kind of
wet blanket, but Bob Boyle. Judge Jones,
Smiler, and Billy Clark, said it was the
best speaking they ever heard, and went
AROUND next Gay ashlup DeilOcIdIS II tney
! did not think Daggett was a great man,
and the Democrats said they wanted to
wait until they could hear Deal and Kilt
rell before passing judgment on Daggett.
Judge Mekenney got back from Belmont
a few days ago, and as soon as he put up
his team he made n break for Triplett Il
Clark's whisky wigwam. Smiler met him
at the door with a copy OF the SENTINEL
with Lander's Democratic letter in it.
Mac read the letter aud then he dashed the
paper down on the bar and stamped his
feet, and then he asked Smiler who was
the editor Of that paper. He said Lander
Democrat was baked possum and sweet
| potatoes, and that he had not had anything
to eat since he left Belmont. Smiler, see
ing Judge in this tragic mood, took him by
the arm and led him back into the poker
room, and what was said and transpired
there "Lander Democrat" won't say, for
he won't say anything that he cannot prove
by men or tax books.
So as to stand off the SENTINEL the Re-
| pubs. have ordered a great many copies of
the Enterprise and Gold Hill Neacs, and
hired Tommy's boy to distribute them
around the Democratic saloons, and the
Democrats are distributing pamphlets
about what Daggett said aboutthe Chinese,
and the Miners Union. aud about Gov
ernor Bradley's vetoing the bullion tax,
with the names of the men who voted for
the bullion tax bill.
Tommy says if his partner Billy is elected
to the Legislature he will not let him vote
fer the Bullion Tax, but some of the Dem
ocrats say they would not chance either
Billy or Tom if there was a big sack in
sight, and also, they don't want to elect
Mike Farrell, for they think he will vote to
cut down the taxes on the mines every
time.
Governor Bradley and General Kittrell
and Deal are coming here, and are going
to speak Monday night. and the Democrats
are going to give them a rousing big rally,
and show them that Old Lander is Demo-
cratic to the backbone.
The Repubs naturalized some more citi-
zens yesterday, but the Register closed up
last night. General Jack Williamson and
Tommy say if they only had a few days
more for the Register to keep open they
would spoil the Democratic majority in
this county, but that they do not care, be-
cause all the Irish voters will vote for Mike
Farrell, md General Jack, and Charley
Lund, aud Billy Clark and McKenney are
going to get enough Democratic votes to
elect them, and those are all the candi-
dates Tommy Colfax cares about and
he says il they are elected, people will be-
lieve what he said about the Cosmopolitan
saloon having influence. Daggett told
General Jack that he could do more talk
ing to fellows around the saloons single
handed than by getting up and spouting
to them all at once, but said that it was
fashionable, and so he wanted to be in the
fashion. He undertook to sing the ''Sweet
By and By" into Coal Oil Tommy's ear,
but that chicken wouldn't fight, aud Coal
Oil is still feminist the Bonanzas and reads
the SENTINEL in place of the Enterprise.
LANpER DEMOCRAT.
