ation-A Rousing Meeting and Good
HUNDRED Audience.
Last evening Centennial Hall was
well filled with ladies' and gentlemen,
who went to hear Judge kirkpatrick
and K. Z. Lowery discuss the issues of
the day. Judge Berry, Chairman of
the Hancock and English Club, called
the meeting to order and introduced
JUDGE KIRKPATRICK,
Who addressed the meeting and dis
cnssed the issues involved in the cam
paign. He referred to Sharon, who is
again to be elected to the United States
Senate in the event Of the election of q
Republican Legislature. He remarked
that Sharon had been absent from
Washington nearly all the time since
the commencement of his term in March,
1875. Instead of Nevada being in
debted to Sharon, as is alleged by his
duHilTcTS, lie 10 luucDbcu w NeNdud lOT
his great wealth. 1t is said that he is
now building a railroad in the State,
but he is doing it with Chinese labor.
The Democratic party purposes sending
an actual resident of the State TO rep
resent it in Washington. By construc-
ton of law, if Sharon was a resident,
when elected, he is now, but he was
not a resident of Nevada Them and is
not now.
JAMES G. FAIR
Is miner, a man who thoroughly TN
derstands the great industry Of the
State in detail. He is also civil en-
gineer, and when any question affecting
the mining interest arose in the Senate
he could explain it intelligently, and
his opinion would necessarily have great
weight. Ii Republican Legislature is
elected Sharon will be reelected, but if
the Legislature is Democratic Fair will
probably be Senator.
The Democrats ought to be success
fal in this election, because the Repub-
hcans have been in power too long for
the good of the country. 1t is an his
torical fact thas since the AID
ministration of Washington there
has been change Of administra-
ton. on an average, every ten years
The office, holding class constitute
an army. bound together by the cohe-
sive power of government patronage
1t is hard to overcome this army,
which, few years ago, under Grant
ism, organized Whisky Ring, Post
leadership Ring, Navy Ring, an Army
Ring, an Indian Ring, and rings innu-
merable. The founders of the party
Chase, Greeley, Trnmbull and others
opposed these plunderers, and Bristow,
an honest Republican, could not stand
them. Those rings want a strong gov
eminent, with power to crush the
masses. -Four years ago, the men
elected by the, popular vote were
brushed aside, and the patronage of the
country used TO reward the usurpers.
TREASURY BooKK REPING-
Since the war, the Government had.
collected between $4,000, 600, 600 and
81. 600, 900, 600. The books which show
those vast receipts, and the manner in
which they have been expended, are
kept in such a manner that only the
party in power can tell anything about
them. An investigating committee
found $500 erasures in these books,
and whole leaves, in some places four
or five, cut out. There is no check ex-
cept the honesty of the men who keep
the books. When. the Democrats get
into power, which they will, the people
will then learn how their accounts have
been kept by the men who wave the
bloody shirt with one hand and fill
their pockets with the other. Business
men would have their agents and. book
keepers arrested if they cut leaves from
their books, and filled the pages they
left. with erasures and interineations.
Is it too much to ask, under these cir
cnmstances, that the Republicans should
