that II IL could be separated from
other issues It certainly should be.
Delegates were not elected directly on
the Senatorial issue. or at least should
not be and need not be. There were
other candidates for Office and each and
all Of them had interests to guard, and
this should have some influence on del.
ecates. It did have influence, and II led
to combinations. But in this way
many issues were ignored. Voters had
to take one OF Two tickets and candidates
had TO take thoir chances with q or
the other OF these tickets. Voters an
not, under such conditions, express all
the preferences they have. We want a
full clean and unmistakable vote on this
Senatorial question, outside Of all other
issues, This Q be secured only by
adopting the Crawford plan.
Then, again. none but Republicans
will then express q preference. At
primaries, NO matter how carefully CON-
Quoted, many who do not belong 10 the
party express opinions; but BY this plan
no ticket will count on the Senatorial
list which does not carry the names Of
the Republican Presidential Electors
also. Thus the preference manifested
through this method vas by those who
had q right TO express q preference.
Those who object to allowing this
preference to be expressed must DO
those who cannot for some reason 60
successfully before the people and ask
their Endorsement. hence can not DO
good Republicans.
Mr.. Hillyer then read from an sdito-
rial in Sundays Enterprise to show how
the people were placed by their Rspub-
lican organ: "Their will be but ons
regular ticket In the fsld." "Who
makes this asssrtionf" asked Mr.. Hill
yer. "what right has any man to make
in Who are the candidates who put
this ticket In the Held, and what right
have they or any one else to say that no
one else shall put another ticket regular.
" in the field? Usually parties control
their candidates, but here are candidates
seeking to control the Republican
party, the great party Of the nation.
and are putting up tickets In
which NO one but themselves has been
consulted" Reads: ANY but tina nm.
pledged ticket will be spurious" That
says. gentlemen. that you have no right
to put up any other ticket or to vote for
any one not ON that 'uupledged' ticket.
Do you believe that2 IL It possible that
things have come to that pass here In
Nevada and within the ranks Of the Re-
publican party. TOO. the party OF freedom
and popular rights? Who made this
ticket aud made 1t 80 regular that NO
regularity was left for others2 Who are
the delegates thus regularly put In the
feld2 Does anybody know2"
Mr.. Hillyer then contrasted the pres.
ent under such q dictatorial rule a. the
foregoing with the earlier days Of the
party in Virginia City. sulosizsd Its
growth. rule. spirit and achievements,
asked its followers to maintain II in its
purity and power and sat down.
Mr.. Stephens then said that there had
been some feeling against the movement
OF the evening because some thought 1t
directed against certain county candi-
dates. This hs denied. The movement
did not affect any county candidate in
any manner.
The meeting then adjourned with
rousing cheers for Garfield and Arthur
and the Republican party. Following
are the names OF delegates In the field
today
