The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1884-10-11


Meadow Valley Wash. the other day,
the settlers held meeting at certain
point for the purpose of locating the
place where a school house is to he
erected. After finishing their business a
vote was taken for State Senator, and
out of some twenty odd votes cast, Joe |
Poujade received every vote. Most Of |
these settlers were Democrats, and Mr.. |
Poujade is the Republican candidate for
State Senator. 1t is but fair to say that |
Mr.. Pouiade is looked upon as the Peo-
pies candidate. They will vote for none |
but freemen, to so to the Legislature,
who will do their duty to the people |
at large, and whom are worthy of trust |
The people know Poujade is such man
and have resolved to send him. The cry
is, 'Let all tax. payers do their duty, and
send Poujade to the Legislature next
winter" After the announcement of the
ballot, rousing cheers were given for
Poujade.
Tie election posters are now posted
up about town. The Democrats are in
blue and the Republicans in green. Tom
Alitchell's flock of goats on the noun,
tains, seeing the sides of the buildings
covered with green, must have thought
that the grass was grown out of the
buildings, for the flock rushed down into
town and went to eating the green post
ers. Such action on the part of the goats
highly incensed the Republican cand-
dates, who beheld their names being
swallowed down by the goats, so they
went for the goats with rocks, and hunt
ed the animals out of town. Republican
candidates now all wear rocks in their
pockets to fling at the goats.
