Republican nominee for Congressman. WAS
the ira, speaker. He said that since he
left the Comstoek . month ago he had
travelled 1. 500 miles-ths most Of the time
In uncomfortable ~stages-and that every
where he had found signs Of Republican
strength. He..staked his reputation o. . po-
iiticai prophet upon the assertion that the
Democracy " the State. instead Of bring
ing . majority Of 1000 to the Sink Of the
Humboldt. as they claimed. would not get
there with $50. This, he said. would as
sure . good majority for the whole Repub-
lean ticket. He diselaimsd any intention
u waving the bloody shirt. lie did not
wish 10 bring up the records OF the past.
but spoke only Of tho state Of Affairs ~
they exist at present In the South. Mr..
Dsggett's reason for not being . Democrat
wa. because Democracy was
FUNDAMENTALLY wRoSo
And opposed in every particular tn .
Republican form Of Government. Demo-
cracy Was opposed 10 Capitalization in
any degree /; did not want the central Gov
eminent 10 have eithor money or power.
The speaker referred 10 Mexico a. .
country which had been provided with
Democratic constitutions ever aimee Its
organization a. Bsprblic. and
consequently she required . new
constitution every year. The question
Of State rights was still unsettled In that
country. When . state wished 10 secede,
the central government WAS unable to en-
force obedience. and hence . destructive
revolution WAS the result. The idea OF
| Slai-s rights carried 10 its ultimate was
illustrated by tho history OF the little
county Of Jones. In Mississippi. When
Mississippi seeded from the Union at the
beginning Of the war. Jones county seeded
from the State Of Mississippi, and during
all tho time Of the war
WAS NOT CONQUERED.
After the war was over the representa-
ti,es Of Jones county claimed admission 10
tho State Legislature. They were relue-
tan,ly admitted. and at that meeting Of the
Legislature the little county OF Jones WAS
bloiied IRON the map Of the State. and the
county Of Jeff. Davis established In Its
place. Mr.. Daggett said he could not have
been . Democrat before 81 without oppos-
Ing the true interests Of the nation. and he
could not have been a Democrat since thai
time without being . traitor To his country.
SILVER AND G~RKESnAcEs.
Mr.. Daggett explained the Democratic
| idea Of imitation. He said IL means the
retiring Of all United States bank notes
and the issuing Of . great amount Of IRE
deemable grcenbaeks. and this means war
upon silver. What We want Is the com.
%pistion u the Silver bill. the provision OF
silver certificates and the consequent bol.
i.hment Of the presentoppressive Discount
on silver. J.. L. Jones Is tie man Tor this
work. II the people wish relief from their
| expressions they must look to the Repnb'
| lean party for IL. The name OF senator
Jone. Was received with enihusiastic APP
plau-c, and Nr. Dsggctrs opinions when

An OPPRESSION.
Mr.. Dagge,t said 1--WE have many
grievances on this coast. but the worst Of
all |. the railroad monopoly. The Central
Pacific Railway is . terrible devil hsh
whose deadly tentaeles run up every can.
