The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-10-21

tefreu from DONG SO Dy the Mlncrs
Union, and which is now building y
railroad to Bodie almost exclusively
with Chinese labor, and continuing,
said ''the poor canal boy, the close stu
dent and philosophic statesman was to
be our next President. He asked what
the Democrats had done for the protec-
tion of foreign-born citizens who re-
turned to their native land, and said
that until Republicans passed laws, no
naturalized citizen could 90 back to
Europe if he owed military service when
he left there. Judge Whitman OF
course knew that the Democratic party
went to war with Great Britain, and
settled forever the question that SUBJ
ject Of Great Britain, who became an
American citizen, should be respected
as such. He was also aware that under
the administration of Franklin Pierce,
Martin Koszta, political fugitive from
Austria, who had declared his intention
to become citizen of the United States,
was taken from an Austrian frigate,
ON which he was held as prisoner, by
an American man-of- war, acting under
instructions from Democratic admin
istrasion, and that, too, at a time
when the opponents of the Demo-
cratic party were advocating the
passage of laws to prevent
foreigners from becoming citizens of
the United States until they had re-
sided twenty-one years in the country.
Judge Whitman knew all these and
many other things that the Democratic
party had done for those who came to
the United States from Europe, but he
was not speaking to recite facts but to
make party capital.-REP.
The Judge handled the Fusionists Of
Maine without gloves; said that Garce-
Ion attempted year ago to count out a
Republican who received LOO votes,
and count in Fusionist who received
but 33 votes. II this is true, the polit-
ical morals of the people of Maine must
be of very low order, as they Endorsed
the cause of the Fusionists by electing
Plaisted month ago. The Democratic
party was continually crying "fraud, !"
yet they attempted to cheat Mr.. Dag
gett out of his vote as Presidential
Elector four years ago, because he was
Clerk of the United States District
Court when elected. 1.-THE Judge well
knew that demonstration of the United
States, not the Democratic party, makes
men who hold Federal office inehgi-
BILE for electors, but if he stated that
fact, of course, he could not make his
point. -REP.] He alluded to the Elect
oral Commission, which, he said, was
composed of men of the highest honor
and integrity, and to say that it was a
fraud to declare Mr.. Hayes elected,
was to accuse eight men of that Com
mission OF being perjurers 1.-THE Judge
forgot that in taking his view of the
matter, seven of the fifteen members of
the Commission must be perjurers. -
[REP.
The speaker eulogized Mr.. Tilden,
and said he ought to have been the
Democratic nominee for President; but
when Tilden was candidate he could
see nothing of Tilden but his ''barl."
He spoke about General Scott, who
was a candidate for President in 1852,
and todd how he praised the sweet Ger
man accent and the rich Irish brogue,
and inferred from the similarity of his
name and General Hancock's that the
latter would be defeated as General
Scott was.
THE REBEL WAR CLAIMS.
Judge Whitman pretended to be very
solicitous about the rebel war claims,
and General Hancock's letter, in which
he says he would veto all such claims,
did not seem to afford him much COM
fort. As lawyer, he was afraid the
Constitutional Amendments were not
constitutionally adopted, and thought
the Supreme Court could be remodeled
