The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-10-04
MR.. DAGGETT ON THE STUMP.
Deprecating Sectionalism While Unfurl-
ing the Cory Garment.

Saturday evening the campaign was
formally opened here by Hon. X. M.
Daggett, Republican nominee for Con-
gress. Bonfires blazed in the street in
front of Centennial Hall, and leather
lunged youth, who has done good SER
vice in the bawling line for the local
political clubs during the Summer, in
formed the citizens, who were already
aware of the fact, that
: HON. r. NJ. DAGGETr,
Would address them on the issues of
the day in Centennial Hall. The hall
was brilliantly lighted and handsomely
decorated with the Stars and Stripes.
On the stand sat the speaker of the
evening, the officers OF the Garfield
Club, and Judge or Colonel Addison,
of Virginia City. Almost every seat
was occupied, large number of the
fair sex being present K. w. Woods,
President of the Club, intr oduced the
speaker and eulogized him for having
secured the passage by Congress of the
Lieu Lands bill, in accordance with
a resolution to that effect introduced in
the Legislature of Nevada by Senator
Cassidy, Of Eureka. OF course Mr..
Wood did not allude to Mr.. Cassidy as
the author of the resolution, and per-
haps. was not aware that ID explaining
the benefits to be derived by the State
from the passage of the bill, that he
was unwittingly, paying high com
pliDent to the sagacity OF MIR. cassidy,
Mr. Daggett's opponent, for urging the
resolution i'll the Legislature instructing
orr Representatives IN Congress to
make the exchange Of lands.
Mr.. Daggett said among other things
that he had been taking notes in Con-
gress for two years, and incidentally
referred to the Democratic majority of
SO, 600 in Alabama last month, but neg
lected TO state that in 1876, 10, 1872
votes we're polled in the State, and that
the majority in the late election was
about the safne as III former years. he
knew FROM the vote of two years ago
there were large number of Demo
Gratis present and wished all were. 1t
was NOT his intention to vase
THR BlOoDT SHIRT,
Bat be proceeded to do it nevertheless.
He was always willing to hold out
friendly hand to all who were willing
to admit that they were wrong. He
did not fear the result CT the election,
and did not believe TIE people were pre-
pared 10 taYn over the government to
those who we're IN arms against 1T
twenty years ago. They had done all
they could by party rastahty, were
again back as State Rights, and bearing
all sorts of arms and all kinds of colors,
Confederate gray, ka-Hlux rcd, and
Union blue They are found to-day
where they started, OH that old piratical
craft with Union soldier at the helm.
But he did not want TO wave the bloody
shirt.
THE COUNTRY Is PROSPEROUS
Never more so, spindles are running,
farmers have bountiful harvests, and
CONNIE REALLY the nation was never so
well of The FIRST titas the balance OF
trade is in our favor, and the only way
that it can be mst is by gold. The
average amownt i'll favor OF the United
States for seven years has been $780,
10000 Not $50, Geo. cos in our bonds
are held In Europe, and all this the
speaker claimed is due to the Republi
can party, which protected our indus
tries, SEtil our exports are taken to
England and her colonies. All this is due
to improved machinery; TO- the Repufli-
can party, as there is scarcely Demo-
crat that is not willing to take off tbs
tariff. The credit Of the Government
is good, and gold, silver, greenbaeks
and silver notes are interchangeable.
The Democrats assert that they saved
$40, 900, 600 by reducing the expendi-
lures of the Government, but there is
nothing m it. The speaker then read
what purporte1 to be a statemeat of
the appropriations of each Congress
since 1873, la which he showed that
they were less while the Republicans
were in power in Congress than under
Democratic rule. This was mistake
on his part, whether intentional or not,
rs the official record shows that shs r.
publican Forty third CSngress in 1856,
appropriated S2TS, GA 049 y for ordin-
ary expenses, exclusive of pensions and
the pub.io debt, whqlc the Dewocratic
Forty fourth Congress in 1878 appro-
priatef for she same purpose only
1923, SO, GA GS, an actual saving of
S55, l9l, 40f GA in two years
