nal. He had been q laborer himself and
he was a friend of the toiler. In the Leg.
~islature he was the principal member who
killed the shotgun" bill, which was to
array the militia against miners unions.
He said he had a laudable ambition to
represent the people of Nevada in Con.
gress. He said he had been charged with
having been a peanut butcher" He
would appeal to any man that had trav.
eled over the g. P. during the three
years he was train boy to say he ever gave
him short measure-that he did not al
ways give a good pint for Il short bit. Az
a boy he carried picks in the mines a,
Grass Valley; later. he was brakeman on
the railroad between Reno and Carson;
afterwards he was journalist and legisla-
tor. If you vote for me you shall never
have cause to regret it, and if l I'm not
elected have hope, also, you will have no
cause to regret it.
hon. W. W. BISHOP.
Hon. w. W. Bishop came to the front
next. He Immediately got into a contro-
versy with Colonel Reilly, who was stand
ing near the door in the crowd. Mr..
Bishop seemed to be getting the best of it,
as the Colonel could not be heard very
we'll in the gallery. He said his speeches
were reported by the Democratic press
before delivered. 1t was known that he
would not say anything but what he used
to say sixteen years ago, when he was a
black Republican. He then showed up
the ignorance of the Democratic party
by reference to statistics. Whenever the
Democrats get big majorities they are in
that state in the scale of intelligence. As
the Republican majority increases so the
percentage Of ignorance and illiteracy de-
creases. The Republicans have collected
the revenues without any loss by defalca-
ton in the last six years. The Demo-
cratic party is a party of opposition.
There has not been an original idea in the
Democratic platforms for the last %
years. Its last administration of national
affairs was corrupt and damnable. Here
Mr.. Bishop fought the war all over again,
as usual. Then he showed that the Demo-
cratic party is like an old lame horse
turned out to die, but which never dies.
Next he told about the Democrats burn
ing down churches and school-houses in
New York. The Republicans passed the
tariff question. He showed how, in AS,
when Polk came to the Presidency, and
the law removing duty on lead was re-
pealed, the production of that metal in
the Northwest, which had been a flourish
ing industry, ceased entirely. So if
revenue for tariff only prevails we will
get our machinery eventually made by
cunning workmen in China.
Mr.. Bishop came finally to discuss the
nominees on the State ticket. He compli-
mented everybody he mentioned very
highly.
JUSTICE o. r.
Justice o. R. Leonard said: Mr.. Chair
man, Democrats and Republicans: l shall
speak but a moment tonight. My educa-
ton has been such that [ do not believe it
proper for me to engage in political discus
sions. The duties of the members of a
Supreme Court are of so delicate a nature
that they should not engage in partisan
debate. The judicial department of gov
eminent is of extreme Importance. A
Supreme Judge should be brave enough
to do right towards all. If / rave not en-
deavored to do my duty relegate me to
private life; if l have served you well, l
ask your sutfrages for my reelection.
HON. j. F.
The Chairman said he regretted to an
nounce that Mr.. Hallock, Republican can
didate for Controller, had been taken sick
and would not appear. Mr.. Hallock was
an old resident of Eastern Nevada, and
nearly everybody knew him any way.
The Chairman, seeing that the audience
were tired and had begun to show signs
of an irrepressible desire for freedom,
wisely called upon no local talent Ia plen-
ty of which was lying around loose ready
to be trotted out) and declared the meet
ing adjourned at 10 o'clock.
