Cassidy'a Speech.

Notwithstanding the inclemency Of the
weather n large and respectable audi
ence, among which were quite n number
Of ladies', assembled at the Courthouse
last night to listen to discussion Of the
political questions OF the day by the
Hon. G. W. Cassidy. The speaker ap-
peared under very unfayorHble circum-
stances on account Of the fatigue and
exposure encountered by a trip from
Tuscarorn to Elko by private conveyance
yesterday. Tint part OF the address
which seemed to engage the attention Of
the audience more particularly, was that
which related to the Tariff question.
The speaker showed very Clearly that
that question is not. and cannot be, n
party question. and that representatives
in Congress without regard 10 political
parties are always ready to take posi-
tions for or against any tariff measure
that affects the particular locality which
they represent.
The speaker carefully RETAINED from
indulging in vituperation or abuse OF any
person or party, but confined himself to
the task Of contrasting the records of the
two great parties on tho vital questions
OF politics which interest tbs American
people. The speech was listened to with
profound attention aud respect 10y the
audience, and many Of the salient points
made by the orator were greeted with
applause. Evidently a good impression
was made which will yield fruit at the
harvest TO be gathered on the 4ih day OF
November. 1881.
Mr.. Cassidy left by this mornings
tmin for winnemucoa where he speaks
