A Very Tame Affair Throughout.

the Republicans to meet on the street, as
was announced, and SO they adjourned to
the Opera House. The house was well
filed, and it was remarked that fully one
half the audience were Democrats. BE
that as it may, the speakers we're listened
to attentively, and the Ruby Hill band
helped out wonderfully with a sprinkling
Of good music.
The meeting was cal led to order by J. J.
Work, who announced that nominations
were in order, and Mr.. VIM. Smith put In
nomination J. J. Work, Chairman Of the
Eureka County Republican Central Com
mite. as presiding officer Of the meeting,
and he was elected. The same yentlema n
nominated the following as vice-P Presidents
and they also were elected II. Carpenter,

4. M. Bell was the elected Secretary, and
the officers elect and the speakers adver-
tised to address the masses stepped upon
the stage.
Mr.. Wren was introduced. and proceeded
TO notice the remarks Of certain Democrats
at their meeting upon Main street, on Sat-
urday evening. He said this was not his
night; next Saturday evening he would
| show, by the record, that the Democratic
party was not the friend Of the working
men next Saturday night he would show,
by certain papers, that the Democrats
were at fault for the presence Of the Chi
ncse among us some Of the speakers on
the street, the other night, had Thought
the Republican party dead. Mr.. Wren
thought it would be the ~livelicst corpse in
| Nevada on the 5th OF November; the ben
eits Of Republican rule were portrayed by
figures, away up in the millions, and the
same old story about the war being over.
and all about the peace and harmony that
prevails was then recited. Mr.. Wren said
It was currently reported in the western
part Of the State that he was not going to
support the Republican party in this cam
| paign. md it all came about because Fred
Hart was q friend of his; Mr.. Wren had no
more to do with Harris paper than any one
in the audience, and he didn't inspire the ed
~itorials in the Reese River .'Reveille"; Hart
was a man of Judgment who does his own
thinking; he didn't know but the people
over there would next be accusing him of
organizing the Sazerac Lying Club. With
q few words about the speakers who were
10 follow him, Mr.. Wren closed his re-
marks.
The band played a lively air, and then
Mr.. Work introduced the next speaker.

in spite Of the rebel Broadhorns. Mr..
Kinkead announced himself as appearing.
for the second time in his life, to talk in
such q position, and he would not endeavor
to make much noise from the stand; the
platform upon which he was nominated
spoke for him; there were no ropes Upon
bim-he was no slave to Bonanza. railroad
or corporation firms; he was about ready
to sit down; his speech now was one minute
longer than his first effort. and he guessed
that was too long; LIE had heard that some
one said that he was a Chinaman, and that
he favored going in with the Chinese to
fire out the whites; it was a mistake; he
didn't even employ them-but one at a
time; said he guessed he'd better sit down,
and he did sit down.
Rev. John d.. Hammond, the Republican
nominee for the Office OF State Superinten-
dent Of Public Instruction, was next in
troduced, and said he thought the day Of
broadhorn steers was over--thcre was a
better breed ON Nevada soil now; Mr..
Hamniand was born u Republican,; his
mother had given many a c~olored gentle
man directions about the north ntar, aud
also a ticket over That railroad (?) which
extended from the far South to Canada;
he read from the Republican New Tesla
ment- the Enterprises late editorial
about an Indian and Governor Bradley
said it was for the people to say whether IL
should be kinkead or Bradley. Here some
one in the audience said that he thought
'twculd be Bradley, and the
ment was received with tremendous APP
plause. Mr.. Hammond went on to say
that tho schools in the United States were
founded by preachers and the Republican
| North was the mother Of our educational
system the outlook looked glorious for
the success OF the Republican party at the
coming election.

j.. A. Stephens next took the rostrum
and told the people that he felt as though
he was marching on to triumph he came
here, last month, among what was known
as the scrub delegation to the Republican
| State Convention, and they did scrub the
''big-bugs" to his satisfaction. Mr..
Stephens talked for fifteen minutes on the
convention business, and then said that Mr..
Kinkead had never asked a vote Of the
Storey county delegation, and he was fairly
before the people as a genuine Republican
nominee for Governor Of Nevada;
talked at considerable length on the
| Chinese question ; had plenty of docu-
ments to show that the Democrats brought
the Cinnamon into this country, and he
read 'em, until the hall commenced to thin
out. Mr.. Stephens thought Bradley was
the only honest man in the Democratic
party, but his brain was weak, and o
young, honest a like John H. kinkead.
should be put in the position Of Governor.
Hon. w. w. Bishop next came before the
audience; naid he didn't see the old flag
anywhere about the hall; it had been a
long time since he talked to a Republican
audience without that old emblem floating
somewhere in sight; the Administration,
under such men as Lincoln, had brought
up this Nation to the highest station
among the nations Of the world; the Re-
publicsns were FISHERS Of men;'' they were
bound to have votes. Mr.. Bishop here
recognized that the most Of his audience
were Democrats, and offered them So
apiece, after 2 o'clock on election day;
Everything the Republicans propose the
Democrats oppose-they were like the girl
who wanted to be ruined; he was going ont
to preach for the cause, one way and an
other, etc.
II there are other men running for
State office, on the Republican ticket, other
than Mr.. Kinkead and Mr.. Hammond, we
did not hear their names mentioned last
night. Mr.. Hammond spoke for himself
they could all see Mr.. Kinkead's remarka-
BILE adaptability for the Office Of Governor
Of Nevada, but the name Of Daggett was
never once mentioned. They were u unit,
however, in their attacks upon Mr.. Deal.
The meeting was somewhat tedious in
length, and the hall was cold and disa-
greeable. On the whole, the demonstra'
ton was a rather lame affair. being almost
totally devoid Of enthusiasm.
