man Stevenson presiding. The hall vas
well filed and q lively interest mani
tested. After a few preliminary remarks
the Chairman introduced Hon. Thomas
Wren.
Mr.. Wren felt at home among so many
stalwart Republicans and went into the
merits Of the campaign SO far as con-
Quoted. The sack was a prominent
object Of interest. yet he did not care to
refer to who had or bad not the largest
sack, or who had any sack at all. / was
q candidate for the United State Sena-
torship long before Fair Was heard OF.
and had the temsrity to so state at i
All OF Fairs ours barksd and snapped at
my heels aud INDUCED in consider
able ridiculs at my pretsnsions. lhey
even said / was in with SHARON
aud was, in fact. q sham, win
no possible chance Of success. 1 don't
know why I have not q right to % q
candidate aud 60 in on my W respon-
sibility. Eureka county was suiiciently
partial TO me TO instruct her legislative
delegation to use all honorable means to
elect mo United States Senator. which
action was similarly followed mp by
Lander aud Elko counties. Lincoln.
Humboldt and Washos counties have
declared against Mr.. Sharon; thus. three
OF the counties mentioned are for me
aud three against Sharon. 1t IL claimed
that all the hold-over Senators are for
Sharon. but l happen to know that this
Is not 30.
II seems that the possession OF q Fair
sack has turned the heads OF u Demo-
cratic friends. Mr.. Fair has apparently
never been settled in his political ideas.
but IL is evident at present that the
feathers OF Democracy are sproutinR all
over him. Whatever may have been
their former opinion OF him. the enthu.
siastic Democracy, inspired by the
golden smiles OF his sack. now unani-
mously declare that he is q very able
aud honorable old gentleman. Sharon
| saws Fair is q resident OF San Francisco
and lives on Mob Hill, and Fair on his
part says Sharon belongs in California
aud is no resident OF this State.
| They are both very rich men, yet
IL is no written in the Constitution
and the laws that q man not worth q
million dollars cannot be Q candidate for
| United States Senator from Nevada, aud
neither Sharon nor Fair have any mort.
gage on that position. consequently /
feel that I have o natural American right
to aspire to 1t. /: the Republicans in
the State win their United States Sena
tor, it will make u tie aud Chester
A. Arthur will have the deciding
vote. giving to the Republican party
the control OF the United States Senate.
Storey county does not elect Sharon and
as the case stands you must give him
the benefit Of the doubt 30 lar as q sure
thing is concerned. / shall give your
delegation Q chance to vote for me. IL
| public opinion continues to be az strong
against Sharon as 1t Is at present. / have
| faith TO believe that 1t will defeat him.
All governments are created and con.
stituted for the purpose OF melting out
the laws. protecting lite and property.
and promoting the public good OF their
| people. Ours is for that and the I'D.
yanc.ment OF human liberty, progress
aud prosperity. The political party that
the most nearly does this. and whose
leaders are the truest TO this great pur-
pose. 10 the party We should all prefer
and support above all others. The Dem.
ocratic party fifty years ago was the
party OF the people. but it was the party
Of slavery aud the degradation oil labor,
and as such Andrew Jackson was the first
to raise his voice against 1t. The Mis-
souri, compounds followed, and finally
the Republican party sprang irto exist
ence, declaring that human slavery
should never more pollute the soil oil
America. o. that issue Fremont was
defeated, yet. four years aiterwsrd. on
that same issue. Lincoln was elected.
On that same issue the South attempted
to break up the Union. and the Demo.
cratic President, Buchanan, permitted
them to seize the arsenals and other
public property and inaugurate the most
daring and cruel rebellion the world ever
knew.
This was the state Of affairs when the
Republican party came into power.
Steps were Of once taken to recover gov.
eminent ascendancy and bring back the
seeded States into the Union. A mil.
lion loyal men sprang into the battle
field for the integrity OF the Union.
Greenbacks were issued. q financial pol
lev adopted aud at the close OF the wal
a debt Of three thousand millions had
been created. A protective tariff was
instituted and heavy revenue taxes had
to DO levied. In due time, as the
country and government prospered,
measures had to be taken to relieve the
people Of this vast burden OF taxation
aud by degrees, o. the have
increased, this has been done. Nearly
oue-,hird OF that immense debt has been
paid. the Resumption Act was passed.
the credit Of the nation made perfect,
and today greenbacks are worth more
than gold coin, aud our bonds command
better prices in the English market than
those OF England. Further modification
Of the revenue laws can now be
made. but it requires wise and
careful men to do II. The bal.
ance Of trade 10 now in our favor and
the tariff protects the wages and the
interests OF the laboriug men OF the
country. The tariff needs to be revised.
but i, must be done with the utmost
care, so as to protect the interests Of oil
classes. No one understands the re-
quirements OF this important matter
better than Mr.. Garfield. -.
!, now seems certain that We shall
have the majority in both branches OF
Congress. The Republican party has
always advocated and defended the pur'
ity OF the ballot. boz. aud been essential

pie. the party Of the nation renews its
