State Convention are given at length in
the Reveille. The following resolution
was introduced, besides those pub
lished yesterday:
Resotued, That the thanks of the Re-
publican party of ihe State of Nevada
are hereby rendered to our Congression-
al Representation [Sharon, Jones and
Daggettl for its zeal in behalf
of the interest of the State, and its
earnest and faithful maintenance of the
principles of the Republican party in
the councils of the nation.
c. G. Powning offered as substitute
that the Convention adopt all the reso-
lutions except that which referred to
our Representatives in Congress. The
Convention was not called for that pur-
pose and it would be inappropriate to
60 outside of the business of the Con-
vention expressed in the call. If there
was to be debate on the subject he
was prepared to take up the gauntlet.
Williams of Storey moved the indef-
mite postponement Of the subject.
Moore of Elko had simply heard the
resolutions read and wanted them con-
sidered consecutively.
Comins of White Pine stated that
the committee had met and discussed
the resolutions, and thoroughly sifted
them, and submitted here what they
thought was for the best interests of the
party. They wanted no mud throwing
and 10 wranging. They couldn't afford
to do it. They were submitted in the
interests of peace, and he hoped the
Convention would adopt the resolutions
without change.
Littleield OF Elko hoped Powning's
substitute would be adopted or things
would 'hum" around there after awhile.
Powning said he merely wanted to
keep out outside matters.
Comins stated that the Convention
had assembled to deal with national
affairs, They were in the interest OF
James G. Blaine. Our representatives
in Congress were in favor of Grant, and
wanted to 60 to the National Conven-
ton. 1t was the least they could do to
thank them for their acts in Congress
IN behalf of the State.
Littlefeld would have no objection to
the resolution had it included members
of the Legislature.
Coffin said it was the least we could
do to pass some resolution recognizing
our Congressman and Senators, and
then we could elect six delegates fresh
from the people and instruct them as
we wish. Our national representatives
expected some recognition at our hands
and this is the cheapest way out of it.
Bigelow would like to know who our
representatives are that they should be
propitiated more than any one else, be-
cause we do not wish to send them to
Chicago. We do not propitiate others
who wish to go but cannot They are
Grant men, and their sympathies are
not in accordance with those of the peo-
pie OF Nevada. Ii we do not censure,
let us not indorse.
Coffin said the resolution was simply
in the light of small favors thankfully
received; vote of thanks for what they
had done.
Hammond called for the reading Of
the resolution.
Rand was only opposed to the reso-
luton so far as il related to some, and
did not think it went far enough, but
he was opposed to it as whole.
Powning said there was no use dis
GUESSING the fact that the acts of Mr..
Sharon could not be Endorsed by him.
So far as Jones and Daggett were con-
cernetl he would have no objection to a
resolution indorsing them at regular
Convention, but Sharon had shamefully
abused the confidence of the people of
Nevada, and he was willing to carry
over the matter to oe decided by the
people next FALL There was no doubt
N his mind Of the intention of Mr.. Sha-
