cess. Miners Union Hall was filled with
spectators. The proceedings were of a
little higher order in some respects, due,
no doubt, to the friendly structures of the
SENTINEL yesterday.
The Union Guard Band rendered fine
music for tho occasion, and were highly
complimented by Mr.. Stephens, the prin-
cipal speaker, who said he believed them
the equals of Cara's Band on the Com
stock.
1.-THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER"
The band opened the exercises by play
ing with deep pathos 1.-The Last Rose Of
Summer"
After this J. E. Jones proposed that a
Chairman be selected.
AS EVER IN THE CHAIR.
The Chronic Inevitable took the chair.
During almost the entire meeting he was
genteel, reserving his natural ''black-
guardism" for the wind-up.
He introduced Mr.. Strother wrong as
usual, calling him L. N, having in mind
possibly his friend of the Albion who was
on the stage.
MIR. sTRoTHER's SPEECH.
Mr.. Strother's speech is a carefully
conned little thing, which he does not
vary a jot or title. Every 81" is dotted
and every st" duly crossed. The senti-
ment of it is good and is creditable to the
author. "Would that l was able to thank
you'' is not altogether the English that the
people prefer in the gubernatorial man
sion, but then, our Republican friends say
it is ridiculous to notice bad grammar.
They are welcome to their enjoyment of
their own ideas in this matter. 1t is only
a hint thrown out by the SENTINEL to the
party Boosting the exclusive proprietor
ship Of education, enlightenment and pro-
grass.
H Of D DAVENPORT.
Judge Davenport came next. The en-
phasis of his remarks was felt chiefly on
the table, which he pounded first with
the back of his hand, then with the
palm, and then with his clenched fist. The
rest of his emphasis fell upon ''the 7th
day of November next" He started in
to eulogize the Republican nominees on
the State ticket, but he either wore him
self out on the few he sketched or forgot
the rest.
'~'swEETENED WIND STEPHENS.
Mr.. Stephens mounted the stump next,
and did not stop until he had gone
through the whole ticket of which Mr..
Davenport got tired q short way down.
Life is too short to reproduce all he
said. He fought nobly to make the Re-
publican ticket appear lovely. Some of
these gentlemen are good subjects for
eulogy-they would be called good men
in any party-but his efforts to make
fun Of Jewett Adams were very coldly
received. He likened Mr.. Adams to
'.sweetened wind Mr.. Stephens does
not know how near he comes TO describ-
ing himself in that little phrase, and he
will find that 'sweetened wind will be
sour in Mr.. Strother's stomach when the
votes are counted.
THE U AS A REFoRMER.
M. D. Foley, having recovered from the
''bad cold" which hindered him from ad-
dressing the audience in Eureka, asserted
his integrity aud challenged anybody to
say that he had ever defrauded a miner in
his purchases of tlux ores for the Richmond
Company. He never had any of his checks
discounted, he said, and the men who
worked for him got every cent agreed
upon. His wealth he had accumulated by
honest industry. He had not gambled
and squandered his money away. He was
in for retrenohment in State and county
expenses. He wanted to see economy
practiced in the country, so that people
might husband their earnings and not
spend their evenings in saloons. In the
county offices he did not want to see dep
uties paid for doing nothing, while the
principals were walking about the streets.
"FAy AND FIaERs."
Mr.. Marsden said he regretted the fail
Ire of his maiden effort in Eureka, and
he hated to infict himself upon his neigh
bors, but he had to face the music, and
he was going to do it, hit or miss. He
said he would mako the labor and delivery
as easy as possible. His fax and fgers'
were worse off than ever, but by the time
he is elected he will know all about Equal
~ization. He will also be old enough then
not to have to apologize for his youth.
A FELLOW FEELING.
Speaking from his own heart, Mr.. Wren,
the Great Chronic. said he had no doubt
Mr.. Stinson, candidate for Sheriff, was
bursting with a speech"
Mr.. Stinson came forward and denied
being on any burst" of that sort, and
bowling returned to his seat.
Mr.. Rowe, candidate for Recorder, came
forward next. He disclaimed being a
speaker, but spoke nevertheless we'll
enough for a minute or two.
THE GEM OF THE EVENING.
The Chairman Inevitable then men,
toned Ed. Trofatter, the humorist.of Ruby
Hill. Ed. was vociferously applauded
during a three-minute speech, during
which the audience were more amused
than during the entire performance be-
sides.
TRUE. TO HIS INsTINx.
After this pleasant little episode was
over the Hon. Thomas Wren arose and
with a perceptible culver in his voice
| started out to say that there would be
no more speaking, but in making that an
nouncement he hung fire. Some sympa-
thetic fellow on a back seat came
to his relief and yelled "Wrenl" That
was enough. He Immediately crossed his
hands OF his capacious stomach, and clos
ing his ewes he posed for a m with
his head on one side. When he had got
his fill of wind he began to paw
around, and true to the ''instinx Of
a stalworth," as one of the orators
remarked, he fumed and denounced the
"hired blackgusrds Of Geo. W. Cassidy"
