Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1880-10-10

by votes and the number Of soldiers sent
to the war that there must have been once
in awhile q Democrat who was notfghting
against the Union, and cited the
State vote and list OF soldiers that
were sent out from Illinois and Missouri.
He scored Garfield by reading only Repub-
lican authorities as to his (Garfeld's) rss-
cality, and referred to Garfield's reduced
majority in his own district-from II, 900
to 1000 votes; asked but justice of every
voter in studying the history Of the Pres
idential candidates; referred to the pros
perity Of the land, which the Republicans
claim, but which he thought was due to
Gods goodness and the strong arms Of the
laboring men. Applause. Hancock fought
against rebel claims at Gettysburg, and
his acts have vetoed every such bill that
might come up when he became President.
Cheers for Hancock.
BOB BEATTY
Was called on, but tried to beg off, saying
that he would talk on Monday evening,
but the people wouldn't have it. They
cheered and called till he took the stand.
Bob said he was mad enough to talk the
night before when he heard Daggett say
that he knew Garfield from childhood, and
that he was the peer Of Clay and Webster.
Bob said Daggett might have seen Gar
field, but he'd be id if he thought Dag
gett had ever seen Clay or Webster, conse-
quently 1t was q very foolish remark, and
Daggett could not be considered a judge
in the matter Of peerage. Daggett had
been but q mushroom in the House, and
hadn't sprung up very high, either. Dag
gett was afraid If the Democrats got in
power they might do something bad, and
Mr.. Beatty said public life was something
like private life-those who were thinking
evil OF others were hardly the ones to
trust. He didn't think that the party
which ~endeavored to destroy this Union
would be in power if Hancock was elected;
for instance, there was Mcclellan, Grant
Sherman and Hancock [prolonged ap-
all Democrats at the breaking out
Of the war, and all but Grant were to-day;
these men did not try particularly to de-
stroy the government. Amid the din,
cries Of hearl hearil Mr.. Beatty then
proceeded to review the local candidates,
in a happy vein, for ten minutes, and then
gave way to
W. o. MILLS, JR.,
Candidate for State Senator. Mr.. Mills
said that this was his maiden effort, and he
would be very brief. He was sorry to hear
his political enemies were trying to
make capital out Of the fact that his name
connected with railroad matters and
interests if he should receive the major
ity of Eureka county's votes for the posi-
ton of State Senator, and went among
that body to legislate, he would do his
duty to his constituents, and if the inter-
ests Of railroad companies clashed with
those of the people of Eureka county, he
would stand by those who sent him there.
He closed with a few remarks about not
being one of the mourners after November
I'd, and retired amid cheers, leaving a very
happy feeling in the minds of the audience.
EUGENE CARRIER, ESQ.,,
Candidate for the Assembly, was intro
duced, and talked for ten minutes or more
in a very logical manner, introducing facts
and figures to substantiate arguments. He
was well received, and created q good i'm
preston among those to whom he was a
stranger.
1t was now time for the Chairman to
a little speech, as it was getting late.
He said that Bill Bishop, the evening pre-
vious, had introduced as the "Comstock
a played-out old gospel-snorter,
thereby slandering the X Roads Nasty,
and making fools of our people. He would
now introduce, as the best speaker Of the
evening,
JUDGE DAVE E. BAILY,
As a man who could learn X Roads Nasty
many a trick on the Democratic side Of the
fence. Mr.. Baily said that he was rather
Unexpectedly called upon; in fact was sick
and didn't feel like talking, but he had
heard Of this man Garfield. Garfield was
a boy once a fair-haired boy, but ambi-
tious. He wanted to be a sailor and ap-
piled for the position, but was sent off with
q kick he would not take the rebuff, how
ever, and finally found himself and a col
ored cook the entire crew to a boat on the
!" raging canawl." And the winds arose,
and the storms Of rain and hail beat
upon the waters until the boat was liable
to be wrecked, and then it was that James
Abram Garfield rushed upon the jib-poop
of the quarterback and cried out to the
cook: "All hands, ahoy!' From that day
to the present his course had been marked
by a steady jog, until to-day he was the Re-
publican choice for President. Here the
speaker had TO lose FIVE minutes for the
audience to cool down. OF course there
were some little charges Of irregularity
standing against Mr.. Garfield, but then he
was a good sailor once. The speaker
thought Daggett must be terribly mistaken
If he believed what he said on Friday
night about Mr.. Garfield; and then
went on in a very feeling talk to
tell Of Hancock's deeds OF kindness and
valor. The Judge again referred to the
Republican ticket and quoted from Shakes
peare something about Salt River, greatly
to the amusement of the audience. He
said the United States government
was something like the man with .
HI of q constitution. The man had
a wife chats the Republican party.
Finally the old man got sick with 'misery
in his chist." He was physicked. purged,
blistered and bound up, poisoned and
pumped out, and still he lived. II the
Democrats got hold Of the reins for
awhile, the Judge thought they would be
able to get new life into the old carcass,
and the crowd thought SO, too, judging
from their renewed applause.
Judge Baily dropped the business at the
ladies and gentlemen, whether Republicans
or Democrats, unite in saying that it was
the most wide-awake and interesting polit-
ical meeting they ever attended.
The band played "Red, White and
Blue" the people staying to hear the good
old music and the Courthouse trembled
as 1t never trembled before, with three
rousing cheers and a "tiger" for the
Democratic ticket, National and local.
There were so many speakers that q re-
serve was made OF Messrs. Alexander Will
son and Baker to assist Ogden Hiles next
Monday evening.
In Luck.
