THE CAMPAIGN.
GRAND RALLY FOR RULE
AND THE RIGHT AT POWELL'S
STATION.
Speeches by DIR. A. b. Tadl ,ek and A. S.
PrOsser. Esq,


Large Crowd and Much Enthusiasm
PowELL's STATION, November 4th.
MR. EDITOR: At notice of three days,
and the lacking up of ten or fifteen posters,
a crowd of one hundred assembled in the
school building at this place last night, to
hear Dr. A. B. Tadlock and Hon. A. S.
Prosser speak.
DIR. Tadlock first addressed the people for
one hour, arraigning bossism and stalwart--
ism ILL the strongest terms. He told some
undeniable facts concerning the civil service
of the government. He said that hundreds
of clerks are appointed in the
departments at Washington, not be-
cause of any superior qualification
they may possess, but in order that their
bosses may get big corruption fund to
control conventions and perpetuate them
selves in Office. Guiteau's bullet, he said,
enabled the bosses to crack their whips and
compel Office holders to wear collar labeled
''my dog" or step aside and make room for
a man who would wear such collar. But
for stalwartism, our much lamented and
honored Jas. A. Garfield would be at the
helm of State to-day, conducting one of the
most honest and fair administrations the
American people ever had. The speaker
then graphically pictured the Salt River
voyage of some of the bosses.
Ex-Governor Yardley was pictured at the
helm. peering into the deep gloom ahead,
when light was discovered in the distance.
Nearer and nearer they come, and the ex-
Gov. exclaims-
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How / wonder what you ah,
At the head of Salt Rivah."
L. Campbell and Henri look over his
shoulders, from behind, of course, and in
terror discover the ghosts of Guiteau. John
Wilkes Booth and his confederates, dancing
around blue, blazing campfire, prepara-
tory to the burial of the little bosses. my
Godl" exclaims Houk, II wish l was
paired!" "Me, tool" cried Henri DR..
LeVere commences to sing:
81 am bound for the promise land" etc.
Doctor Tadlock actually sang this verse
and brought down the house in deafening
laughter.
The Hon. A. S. Prosser spoke for an
hour, thoroughly ventillating Houk's record
and describing in detail the modus operandi
of securing the payment of pension and
other claims, conclusively proving that
Houk is not entitled to any credit for the
payment of any pension but his own, and
but one war claim. He made a telling ap-
peal to not endorse record and man that
we would not be willing to hold up to our
children as good pattern for them to fol-
low. Ex.

Shall we Vote.

Every good citizen should go to the polls
and vote. Some men claim to be friendly
to both parties and decline to vote at ALL
This is pleading ''the baby act" There is
no state of affairs in Republican Govern
ment where citizen should not vote.
Every citizen should make up an honest
decision and vote his convictions. The bal
lot faithfully used is the best security of the
rich and poor alike.
No true man will assume affected dignity
and stay away from the polls, and let the
ritfratf do the voting.
The idlers, the ignorant, the roughs, new
er fail to promptly respond to the election
calls, and always try to control the issue,
while hosts of industrious and upright men
indifferently stay at home on election day.
No man hiss right to loose sight of the
higher, the moral questions involved in our
election contests.
The liquor interests will not fail to push
forward for Office men who by practice
favor their interests; such men should be
scratched from our tickets.
True and honest citizens cannot afford to
help elect habitual drunkards, or the lowest
type of men to Congress or the Legislature.
How absurd ta vote into responsible offices
men from whose social contact we shrink as
from the small l-pox.
Snail good and honest men indifferently
stand aloof and let the vile ones rule our
country? If any man is guilty of such neg
ligenee or cowardice, he does not deserve
government.
Shall we vote for vile men for the sake of
personal friendship or party? Neither
should Christian men, or any honest men
join hands with drunkards, or the vile, nor
can they, with impunity, stand aside from
the polls. VOTER.
For Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Depres-
sion of Spirits and General Debility, in

well, Hazard & Co., New York, and sold by
all Druggists, is the best tonic; and for
patients recovering from Fever or and other
sickness, it has no equal

Good Advice.

You will prevent and cure the greater part
of the ills that afflict mankind in this or
any section, if you keep your stomach, liver
and kidneys in perfect working order:
There is no medicine known that does this
as surely as Parker's Ginger Tonic. 1t will
keep your blood rich and pure, and give you
good health ct little cost. See other column.

Memorial Day.

Many of our people attended the
memorial exercises at Virginia on
Tuesday, but the day was by no
means unnoticed at home. School
was dismissed at p. NJ. and the
school then repaired to the grave
yard and decorated many of the
graves with beautiful flowers kindly
brought from Sacramento and do
mated for that purpose by Mr.. Bird
sail. We regret that the graves of
some forty soldiers inferred at Fort
Churchill were entirely neglected,
and hope that next year such will
not be the case, but that our citizens
will duly remember the gallant men
who served faithfully to defend our
frontiers, and who died in the dis.
charge Of their duty.

Expediating the Mails.

Postmaster General Howe has been
comforting with the Trunk lines be-
tween New York and Chicago, with
the view of making the run in TWEEN
ty-five hours. The New York Gen.
trail and Lake shore are willing to
make terms to increase the speed
from SO to 80 miles an hour. In a
speech at the banquet of the Com
mercial Club in New York city, the
Postmaster General said that before
the next fiscal year began the time
between New York and San Fran
cisco would be reduced "a hours. AS
the fiscal year ends on the 3Oth day
of June, the change was not made
soon enough to have the Postmaster
General keep his promise. Howev-
err, the change is shortly expected.

Fine Ore.

The Silver State says Nick Prayer
brought down from Spring City some
fine specimens of ore from the Old
Gulch claim, about fifty miles north
of Winnemucca, which is now owned
by Theodore Mettille. This claim
adjoins the Paradise Valley mine on
the south. 1t was abandoned by
the original locators, and its present
owner is sinking shaft on the lead
The specimens referred to were taken
from the shalt about 25 feet from the
surface. A piece of the ore left at
this office is rich in ruby silver, and
would undoubtedly assay several
hundred dollars to the ton.

The Lucky Man.

Eli Johl was at one time envied
because of his superior business
abilities in the butchering line. 1t
was then thought that he owed his
success to inherent qualities. Since
he has become an owner in the
Burley mine of ellis district, the
Lolita of Garfield district, and, in
fact, since he has acquired an interest
in ali the paying mines OF the count
ry around Luning envious people
say that they are converts to the
gamblers idea of luck, and that il
is only luck that makes Eli so pros
porous. However, none but the en-.
vious think so.

A Wounded Tramp.

A party of tramps, while walking
in the railroad sheds between Truckee
and the Summit last Saturday, Bays
Reno Journal, picked from the track
a railroad torpedo. A spirit of ex-
pertinent led one of them to attempt
its discharge by pounding it with a
small rock. Not succeeding in this
a second attempt was made by throw
ing il on the rails. This had the de-
sired effect, and although the whole
party was more or less frightened by
the discharge but one was seriously
injured. A piece of the metal en-
tered his abdomen.
