Dr.. 4. B. Harris placed William

did the same thing for WOODBURY.
ten years ago in 1874 and the Re
publicans elected their man then
as they would now. Mr.. Wood
burn had not sought the nomina-
ton, but was picked up by the
party ~ the Henry of Navarro who
could lead them armed and white

| DR.. Kirby sprung the question
of assessing the candidates.
Murphy Of Esmeral da moved that
the candidates be assessed $50 each.
Haines Of Douglass, thought that
; it was childish to asses the candi-
dates $50 each but let the Cenven-
! ton assess its members and pay the
| expenses. Eagar of Washoe
| moved that an assefment of 81 be
made. Kirby rose to talk. Drury
Of White Pine called him to order
and the Chair sustained the point.
Cleveland then moved that the
nomination Of Congressman be
made unanimous. Amid great ap-
plause this was done, and William
WOODBURY. introduced to the Con-
vention amid a roar of welcome.
The speaker thanking the Con-
vention for the nomination, re-
marked that most of his time in
Congress had been devoted to Com
mittee work in Louisiana and
Florida. He felt that he deserved
q denomination after that term
had expired, but the Convention
nominated Thomas Wren, and to
show that he was not a sore-head |
he had stumped the State for
Wren. He regretted that some
more distinguished man than him
self had not been nominated. He
had not solicited the nomination,
and for some weeks past some of
the daily papers of the State had
charged that he was an enemy Of
Blaine. IF this were the truth,
he would not have the audacity to
accept a nomination from the Con-
ventien. [applause] I am pitted
against gentleman who has an
that he is stronger than
his party. If | am as strong as
my party I will assure you that the
State of Nevada will not be repre-
sented by a Democrat. [cheers]
If Mr.. Cassidy had a MORTGAGE
upon the ballot-box in this State
he would cancel it in November
[cheersl Mr.. Woodburn closed
by eulogy of Blaine, warm con-
ionent of the platform, and thanked
the Convention for the honor be-
