Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-10-13

meeting last night was a grand OutpOurln6
of the voters Of Eureka and vicinity. 1t
vas by odds the largest outdoor meeting
ever held in this section OF Nevada. 1t
was the first gun Of the campaign, and the
immense concourse shows that the people
are alive to the great Importance Of the
issues involved in the pending canvass. A
stand had been erected on Main street,
minute guns were fred, bon-fires blazed,
and the Eureka brass band at proper inter-
walls rendered inspiring airs. The meet
ing was called to order by Mr.. d. J. j.
Mclaughlin, Chairman Of the Democratic
County Central Committee, when Judge
r.. M. Beatty was called to the chair, and
Mr.. John T. Baker chosen Secretary. The
following Vice Presidents we're then nomi-
mated and elected: C. J. Lansing, p. STAN
ton, D. Mannheim, Edward Looney, J. c..
Powell, Henry Radcliffe, Frank Fitzpatrick,
J. N. Hill, B. T. Brophy and Peter Han
sen. Mr.. H. ]. NOLAN, Of San Francisco,
was the first speaker introduced. He is a
fluent talker, and his remarks were vocif-
erously applauded. He is at times elo-
quent, and always forcible. He spoke
substantially as follows:
II has been said that I came here to rep
resent the W~orkingmen Of California.
That / deny. i have never represented
myself as such. The Workingmen Of Cali
fornia don't need anybody to come here.
| They are an organized body. Their lead
ers, Messrs. Kearney and Wellock, did not
wait for the last moment, but long before
the election they had perfected their ar
rangements to such an extent that when
the great day OF the trial came on" they
elected 81 out of 152 delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention. l I'M glad, aye,
proud that l had q. hand in aiding in ac-
complaining that result, and, though l
spoke a year before in favor Of the Demo-
| cratic Legislative ticket, / ever afterwards
| regretted 1t, as I found that it proved itself
the vile tool Of railroad and other monopo-
lies. Hence / joined the workingmen's
party, and don my best to secure the cleo
ton of its Representatives to the Constitu-
tional Convention. Here in Nevada, how
ever, / understand that w~0rkingmen, at
present. cannot accomplish anything by
saying, in the language OF my leader, Dem
mis- Kearney, that the Chinese Must Co."
unless they ~coalesce with the Democrats.
Therefore, DENNIS Kearney being in Mass
achnsetts advocating the success Of Ben.
Butler. because he has proven himself the
| champion Of laboring men and their inter-
ests, | am here advocating the election Of
| Governor Bradley for the same reasons;
| it is unnecessary for me TO state the rea-
sons as his opposition to the ''Bnllion-Tax
Bill" if nothing else, would induce every
man in the State. much less myself, that is
a friend of honest labor to support him.
Mr.. Mohan here spoke Of the wonderful
triumph achieved by the Workingmcn Of
California. because they we're united and
organized, and said thai in his city any
man who could not show a receipt from a
white laundry, or did not purchase cigars,
tobacco, etc., from white firms, should
never be admitted into a Workingmen's
Club. His remarks on this subject were
received by the audience with rapturous
applause. He said thai the daughters of
white workingmen should not only wash
their own clothes, but those of the whole
family, and thereby save so much money
to the family, but that they should en-
courage every measure calculated to carry
out the idea Of Dennis Kearney, when he
said the .'Chinese Must Co." There is no
installing the fact, said be, that if the
Workingmen had done what was done in
California, that both of the old parties
here would have had 2 hard road to travel.
| As it is, however, there IL only one OF two
| evils to choose from. Governor Bradley
is q recognized FREUD Of the Workingmen.
/ therefore advise you to vote for him.
There is no power that can abrogate the
"Burlingame Treaty" bat the Congress of
| the United States, and as everything
| points to a Democratic majority in
that body in the coming Congress, and as
the election of a President may depend
upon the same, it Is incumbent upon the
workingmen and all other classes interested
in the Punishment Of Chinese cheap labor,
to see to it that the Democratic candidate
for Congress should be elected. In the
first place, said the speaker, il the Repub-
licans carry this State, and the election of
a President de,olves upon the House of
Representatives, your one Congressman will
have as much influence as the whole thirty
three OF New York should they be all
Democrats, as he must be chosen by a
majority OF States and not a majority Of
the 800 in Lower House of Congress. Still
further. said the speaker, let me call your
| attention to the fact that it was the Repub-
lican party which made the compact with
Chinese known as the Burlingame treaty,
and should they win, bear in mind that
they will not abrogate 1t. Oh, my friends,
IL no other reason in the world will induce
| the Democracy to abrogate this treaty,
the mere fact Of beating tbs Republicans
in a matter OF public policy will be suf-
fcient to induce them to do 30. In their
platform the Democracy say that the
Chinese must go, and now let us hold them
to it. Vote for Mr.. Deal, and you add to
the majority already guaranteed to the
Democracy, and secure q friend already
pledged to vote the Punishment Of the
Chinese. Vote for Mr.. Daggett, and you
send a man pledged as a matter OF ex-
pediency, to secure the ~abrogation Of the
obnoxious treaty, without any power to &C.
complish anything in the face of a Demo-
cratic majority in the United States Con-
gress. Mr.. NOLAN then spoke on the
BLOODY SHIRT
Doctrine. He said that the war was over,
and that he guaranteed that nine out Of
every ten Of those who wished and were
now trying to FAINT the dirty rag in the
face Of patriotic citizens. never heard the
whiz Of a rebel bullet. As for myself, said
the speaker, l was not q soldier,
but there were but four boys
in our family, and when the booming can
non Of the ~Confederacy were directed at
the star spangled banner floating over
Sumpter's historic walls, by Beauregard,
three OF them, under the call Of the inn
mortal Lincoln, rushed to the front. and
now their bones whiten the plains Of differ
ent States, q noble sacrifice to a patriotic
cause. Notwithstanding all this, my fellow
countrymen, to-day / clasp hands across
the bloody chasm, and ray let by-gones be
b~y-gones; let old hackneyed war phrases
be buried, and let us live in harmony as .
Union, n and inseparable. Be not car
ried away by such men. As Adam Smith
says: 'sThere are no more dangerous
classes in any community than those who
covertly continue to create sectional difi-
culties among the people Of one country
whose interests are one and the same"
He then spoke Of the power Of monopo-
