The ..Chronicie-s' Synopsis of the
speech.
Our fellow townsman, Mr.. A. N. Hill
house, spoke in Virginia Saturday night.
He stated that men were placed upon the
tickets Of both parties, and that in voting
for ehese men the citizens voted for the
principles represented by those men. Dan
ger to the rights of the people turks in
every corner. For fifteen years our gov
eminent has been under the control Of the
Republican party, during all of which
time every particle of legislation, every
move that has been made, has been in the
interest and for the benefit Of the rich and
against the poor.
Since the war closed every act of Con-
gress that has passed every act Of the
Republican ~party-has been framed for
the purpose of, md to the end that this
aggregated wealth should be encouraged
and protected against you and me. IAp-
plause. Since the war every act Of this
Republican party has been in the interest
Of capital and of monopoly. We have had
the National banks and the railroads and all
those things under the projecting care of
the Republican party for years. In Ne
vada, all the corporations that exist and
do our business have been working in the
interest of the Republican party. Every
thing that has been lone from the time
that Nevada has been known until the
present time has been for the interest OF
the corporations, and nothing for the
people Of Nevada. They have corrupted
the ballot box and our Legislatures. We
know that every election here has been
carried by fraud, by money and by other
means used by that party to control legls-
lation. Every year that a Senator has
been elected the power and wealth OF these
corporations have been expended through
ont the State to corrupt the voters and
to destroy the purity Of the ballot. We
have had Stewart and Nye and Sharon
and Jones, and right here allow me to
say l do not share in the admiration OF
Mr.. Jones expressed By my friend who
preceded me. 1t seems to me that a man
who can spend millions without corrupt
ing any one (that would be $50 to each Of
the twenty thousand voters of this STATED
is unworthy to represent the people of this
commonwealth. Applause. We have
on our statute books a law which makes 1t
a penal offense to buy or offer to buy the
suffra2es of the citizens, yet you all know
that the corruption that has been practised
in Senatorial elections in Nevada has been
so great that our little State has been de-
nounced as
THE ROTTEN
Mr.. Sharon has served her well by stay
- $50 f~N,, ti.a Nat,nxaJ l.aI1. a,4b-
ter. Jones has served six years, and has
made one speech on the Silver bill that an
ordinary lawyer could have prepared in
two days. These are the sort of men that
the Republican party has furnished US.
Mr.. Jones, who is now set up so high as
the great Republican representative, told
MS, six years ago, when he was elected to
the Senate. that he was going to Washing
ton to regulate the Central Pacihc Rail-
road, even if the Government should have
TO take charge of that road and run it.
Well, Mr.. Jones went to the Senate, and
served six years, and now l challenge him,
or any of his frienus, to show that he ever
said one ,oord against the railroad in tie
| Senate Of the United States. Applause

including John Chinaman. Laughter.
Gorllam and Jones were defeated, and then
Jones came over to Nevada and the Re-
publican party took him up and ran and
elected him to the Senate, and now he
tells you that he is in favor of the ~''exclu-
sion of the Chinese race" Laughter.
But in his six years Of service not one word
has he ever said for or against Chinese i'm
migration. They tell us that Mr.. Jones
should be reelected to the Senate because
he was in favor Of the Silver bill. Why,
gentlemen. he could not have moved a peg
on that question without the help of the
Democratic party. With the help Of Bland
and the Democrats he managed to get a
sort Of halfway bill through. His own
party friends were nearly all opposed to it.
| will say here that there are ten OF a dozen
or a hundred Democrats in this State who,
in my opinion. can better represent Ne
vada than Jones. l think If YOU send a
Democrat there you will not have six years
to wait before you hear something on the
Chineses question - applause - some
thing in relation to the grinding exactions
of the National Banks throughout the
United States, and the other great ques-
tons that every day agitate our people.
Is I'M A REPUBLICAN?
Is he a Democrat? Is he a Nationalist?
Is he a ~Greenbacker? Is he a Hayes man,
OF is he a Conkling man? What is he
A voice" He is a Jones man"-(roars
of laughter A Jones man and will
somebody please tell me what are the SEN
timents OF q Jones man l will tell you.
He is all for John p. Jones and nothing for
the people. 1t is that he may ''spend mil
lions and not corrupt anybody" 1t is
that he might so to the United States SEN
ate for six years and never utter u VOID
for MS. Why, if a lawyer had to take six
years to get up a brief no longer than the
speech Of Jones on the Silver bill he would
starve to death. Laughter. / ask you
all, as Democrats, as men, as Republicans
If there are any such within hearing who
have in their bosoms the honest impulses
of men-to repudiate and drive from our
midst all those who would corrupt the
ballot and who would destroy our whole
system of government by buying and sell
ing votes. | ask you all to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, from old Broadhorns down
to constable. Applause.
