pride III thus referring to him as an orna-
ment of the Democratic party, and as a
true servant of the people-as a man who
is, in the fullest sense, worthy Of the honor
that his constituency have already twice
bestowed upon him; and that, we believe,
and assert, i'll all candor, that his re-elec-
ton would be only a proper reward for his
past valuable services, as well, also, as in
the interest Of the State OF Nevada and the
nation.
MINORITY REPORT.
We, the undersigned, as a minority, re-
port:
We recommend that the fourth resolu-
ton, wherein the conduct Of Gov. Adams
ia made the subject of adverse criticism, be
expunged from our platform.
JOSEPH WHEEL,
B. +. MoEwEN.
Luther Clark moved to adopt the min
ority report, thereby relieving Gov. Adams
Of the criticisms offered in the report OF
the majority Of the committee.
His motion was seconded by d. r.
Sessions who, though condemning the
Assessor bill as un-Democratic and wrong
in principle, thought it bad policy for
Democrats to "foul their own nest;" also,
that Gov. Adams, though he is judged by
the Supreme Court to have erred in allow
ing the Assessor bill to become a law with
out in%terposing his veto, acted with the
best lights before ~him-point blank deci.
sions OF the Supreme Court of California
and that, whether he erred or not, he
acted in the premises conscientiously, and,
as be thought, for the best Interests Of the
people, as he has always done; that Gov.
Adams stands unimpeached except by
those who, presumably, have q personal
feeling against him and wish to give their
hostility public form by inducing the
party to condemn him in convention. Mr.,
Sessions referred to this attempt as I'M
manly and smacking Of cowardice, as the
assailed party was absent and had no op.
p~ortunity to be heard in his own defence,
except through friends who might speak
for him crudely on the spur or the mo-
ment. Further that the Governor did not
sign the bill but allowed it to become a
law without his signature as the Legisla-
ture, in both branches, largely Republi.
can, had passed the Objectionable bill in
each house by a large and conspicuous
majority. The fault then weighs, al
least, more heavily on the Republicans
than on the Democrats.
Judge Rives took the opposite ground
and argued very ably and very ingeniously
for the passage Of the majority report, fol-
the reason that the Act was wrong, at
characterized in the majority report, and
because the Governors attitude would be
used to the detriment Of the Democracy by
Republicans i'll the campaign.
The motion was put to vote and the mi
nority report was adopted by 81 votes tC
So.

der TO his wife, children and other sur
