Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-10-24

Mighens Talks Long.
The meeting was organized by electing
| G. d. Stuart as President Of the evening.
A list Of Vice Presidents was then elected,
as follows: c. G. Hubbard, G. W. Fuller,
Capt. Bell, Capt. Young, Thos. Douglas.
G. c. Wallace, VIM. Ulrick, j. Wander
lieth, Dave Rosenberg, A. Randolph, Jas.
Kyle, VIM. Daugherty and Vim. Mulick.
e. M. Bell was declared Secretary, and
then the President introduced Mr.. VIM.
| Doolin.
Mr.. Doolin said that he had been down
to the Golden City by the Sea-" and
there he had caught such a cold that he
could not talk much. He had been de-
picted as not having much brains, but he
was satisfied with the quality and quantity
he possessed he was sorry to see the old
flag (which was strung along the footlights
OF the stage) in its present position he
wanted to see it floating in the breeze, and
it remained for the people of Eureka TO
hoist it aloft. The enthusiasm was not
very marked, and Mr.. Doolin sat down.
President Stewart now referred pleas
antly to Mr.. Mighels, and introduced him.
Mr.. Mighels said he would like to slip
silently into the Office Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Of the State Of Nevada, but the peo-
pie wouldn't let him, and now he proposed
to get even by wearing them out; he
would give them talk till they cried
enough. He then started in on the his
tory Of the Bullion Tax law; the trouble in
regard to this tax commenced in the Fall
Of 1876, when Gracey seized the Bonanza
bullion and locked it up for taxes due
Storey county. A suit was brought by the
Bonanza outfit, but Gracey got away with
it for the people Of Storey county. The
case was then carried into the Supreme
Court, and while the State legislators were
elected to meet the following winter, and
many Of them went there pledged to vote
for the Bonanza Compromise bill. Mr..
Migbels read the law, also the bill which
it was proposed TO get through at that ses-
sion. Mr.. Mighels wen to that State Leg
i~slature pledged against the compromise.
but he was released by the property-hold-
ers OF Ormsby c~ounty-men who repre-
scented at least 8 1-6 of the property of
that county. Inasmuch as he had voted
for that Compromise bill, and had been
accused Of violating a pledge, he felt con-
strained to make explanations; the reso-
luton in the Republican State Convention
about leaving the laws intact suited him.
There was q circular, whisking about on
the breeze, that pretended TO show him up
rs almost the father OF Cinnamon, but he
showed that be was the father Of the
only actual lawful action ever taken in
our State against allowing the Cinnamon
any hand among us as men. Daggett was
the representative Of the stars and stripes
Deal that Of the stars and bars; Daggett
was the representative OF the enduring
cause-Dea1 Of the lost cause. Jones had
placed our silver or q par with gold. Kim
kead had already been here, and the people
Of Eureka had only to look at him to vote
for him, and he had no doubt Eureka
would give Kinkead $50 majority. As for
himself, he wanted the little Office he was
after; his opponent vas a good man, but,
unfortunately, he was q Democrat, and
there was no use Of people throwing away
their votes on him, as Mighels was sure OF
Of his bird.
General Kittrell was OF that class who
are proud of their appetites for Yankees;
the General didn't get his title in the war
he buckled on u corkscrew and went up
into Oregon to fiaunt the rebel flag over q
whisky grocery, and run an injun faro
game on a raw-hide layout.
Mr.. Mighels made the usual closing re-
marks, and then retired, amid cheers. The
Opera Hous was comfortably filed, but,
as has been character site of all the Repub-
lican gatherings here, during the present
campaign, the proceedings dragged along
and were devoid Of that wide-awake spirit
that denotes q lively interest. A good
band, like that from Ruby Hill, helps them
out wonderfully.
