l. publican Principles.
Although it was not generally known
that Hon. W. E. T. Deal would address
the Democracy Of Eureka until the sESr1.
MEL Of yesterday morning was circulated,
still they gathered in, and the Courthouse
was crowded, as it has been on every occa-
sion when the Democratic bonfres, brass
bands and speakers awoke the echoes Of
Eureka canyon. There was no lack Of en-
thusiasm last night, and the people, speak
ers and all interested went home not q
whit behind in courage and good feeling
from those which have characterized former
demonstrations.
The house was filled by 2 O'Clock last
evening, and SO the ball was opened inside
the hall-although half an hour earlier
than advertised-by Ed. Psscoe's band
playing "Star ~Spangled Banner" and other
favorite airs, with the customary opening
exercises.
Hon. George W. Baker called the meet
ing to order, and requested the nomination
OF a Chairman. A. d. Rock was elected
unanimously. Mr.. Rock thanked the
assemblage for the honor, and introduced
HON. W. E. II. DEAL
As a speaker who would talk to the people
on the political issues of the day.
Mr.. Deal arose and thanked the Democ-
racy of Eureka for the vote they cast for
him when he was seeking their SURFACES
two years ago; said that by that vote he
judged these people to be his friends, and

He talked upon the silver question as it
has never been heretofore discussed in
Eureka; declared that the election of
Deacon Garfield would be ruinous to Ne
vada, and he proved by many records that
Garfield had worked against the leading
product Of this State-silver-in every in
stance Of his official career. The speaker
talked for ten minutes on the silver ques-
ton in a convincing strain; that the people
OF Nevada must see and know for them
selves that 10 good thing could come out
Of the Republican party on that score, and
that now was the time to study up and act
accordingly.
On the Chinese matter he told the people
q few truths. He said: Upon the bottom
Of all the tickets to be voted this fall will
be printed the words, Opposed to Chinese
immigration"-(yes or no as the depositor
sees it.) OF course the majority would
want to write Eyes," but he proved by
documents that if the head OF that ballot
read Garfield and Arthur" the tallying
of it would be = lie. His explanation was
received with bursts of applause.
Mr.. Deal drew pictures Of Republican
and Democratic rule; showed how Demo-
cratic leaders punished crime, and how
the Republicans petted their greatest
thieves by exhalting them to high offices.
The Solid South was forced into a COM
pact by the importation Of the carpet-bag-
gers; they had to be solid to fight the rush
Of Republican carpet-baggers who poured
in to steal the last vestige of cotton and the
remnants Of the peoples wealth. The
Solid South and the Democracy of the
North were banded together to fight for
the Constitution.
To show that all were not Republicans
who fought to put down the Rebellion, he
gave the Republican vote Of many States,
and the number of soldiers from those
States who shouldered arms to restore the
Union. OF the Missouri Republicans, he
said in 1860 only II, 900 votes were cast by
them, and still Missouri sent Ito, 900 Union
soldiers into the field.
He raked Garfield over red-hot Goals on
the Credit Mobilier; said that Garfield
doged all investigation so long as Cakes
Ames lived, but when that man was dead
and in his grave, Garfield crawled out and
made q plea. OF the De Golyer affair, the
speaker thought Garfeld's action was
knavish-Garield was q brave man, was a
smart lawyer, an eloquent speaker, but
was no fool, and certainly must know he
was a rascal when he took the bride. Gar
fields greatest swindle was that Of stealing
the Presidency from Samuel ]. Tilden; he
was held accountable, solely, judging by
the applause of the audience, for that great
steal. The Democrats were to be applauded
for their moderation, when four years ago
they elected o President by 250, 900 major
ity over the Republicans and did not make
a disturbance. They rested the decision
Of the Louisiana steal to, as they supposed,
a board of honest men. The matter Of in
timidation was fully discussed, and dis
cussed and disposed Of to the satisfaction
of all listeners. That the colored people
were deprived Of their civil rights, he de-
nounced as false.
OF State politics he spoke at length, and
declared. amid roars Of applause, that he
believed, as sure as their was Q
Cod, George W. Cassidy would take his seat
as Nevada's next Congressman; brought
up Daggett's speech OF two years, ago
where he proposed to slaughter the rail-
road ~monopolies. The speaker had never
heard Of sDaggett's voice being raised,
above q whisper to o %neighbor, in the
House Of Representatives-no, not even
on a motion Of adjournment. Mr.. Cassidy
drew up a bill which Daggett had given to
the Clerk Of the House, and the bill went
through. donating to the State some 2.000,-
mn ooraa 90 laoart land. IL waa a banaff
but Daggett was entitled to none in secur-
ing its passage. Mr.. Deal scored Sharon
as being a nonresident. Sharon had at
tended to q United States Senator's duties
all these years Of his ~ofice-holding from
Nevada only to aid little Sharon, and now
it would be q good idea TO let him take
care of himself without holding the Sena-
torship OF this State. In helping Thos.
Wren, the voters OF Eureka county would
only be aiding Sharon, the job was put up
in that way, and the people knew it.
Notwithstanding Ohio and Indiana re-
turns, Hancock would carry Indiana in
November; the cause of that State losing
a Democratic Governor was because he (the
Democratic candidate) was unpopular with
the working classes; the workingmen
would rise in their might on the I'd OF
November, and the Presidential candidate
on the National Democratic ticket would
be their choice in Indiana, New York, and
all the leading States of the Union. The
speaker then closed with a few eulogistic
remarks on General Hancock's fitness for
the Presidency Of the United States.
Prolonged applause followed his retire
ment from the stand.
JUDGE RIvEs
Arose to the call Of the people. and though
suffering from the fatigue Of q long jour
ney and a bad cold, still he talked his po'
litical views in language that carried con
viction to every heart. He scorched Mr.
sharon with a frey poker; showed what
robber Sharon was in his mining opera
tions; instead of b~eneftting his people HI
shaved them right and left with hi
