THE BYRNE-PALMER CASE.
The Committee on Election who
had the Byrne-Palmer election
case of Elko county under consider
alton, submitted a long report ex-
haustively reviewing the various
stages of the recount in Elko, and
finding that Palmer had received
635 votes, and Byrne 636. They
declared Byrne entitled to his seat
The report was as follows:
Mr.. SpEAKER.-Your Standing
Committee on Election to whome

test case Of J. A. Palmer VS.. Fl. S.
Byrne for the Seat of Assemblvman
from Elko county have had the

endowed with that mate force Of
| character that caused him, when
a mere boy, to seek the far West
that enabled him to battle with and
conquer adversely; that made him
not only leader in the affairs OF
State, but a power in the develop
ing of our mineral resources that
has made him a mental giant and
a respected leader in the halls of
Congress.
In him, as Senator and citizen,
the far West has ever found a
faultless defender of her indus
tries; in him the Silver cause has
had a champion, more than the
peer Of her adversaries.
He has stood and still stands
among the first, in the defense of
the three great absorbing questions,
the Chinese problem, the silver Is
sues and the tariff.
| remember that in 1876, at the
National Convention at Cincinnati,
Ohio, | heard his voice, appeal
ing for the demands of the Coast
against Chinese immigration. He
continued the appeals for these
demands, in and out Of Congress,
until they were heard and granted.
TO him, more than to all others
We owe our escape from the de-
monetization Of Silver.
On the tariff issues, he has been
found among the ablest of the de-
tenders of protection.
After nearly twelve years SER
vice in the United States Senate,
he stands before US, with a name
unsullied by any stain or faint of
corruption.
In relocating him to the posi-
ton he has so ably and honorabiy
filled, for the years past, we pro-
claim to the nation and the world
that we are true to ourselves, loyal
to the State and loyal to the best
interests Of the Government.
Now, on behalf of the Republi-
can members of the Assembly, |
nominate the Hon. John p. Jones,
as candidate for United States
Senator, for the term commenc-
ing March4th, 1885.

HEATING NOMINATED.

Senator Smyth said: It is nov
my pleasant duty to place in nomi
nation for the position of United
States Senator, Robert P. Heating
MIR. Heating is a man of ability
and is fully identified with the
| mining interests and other indus
tries of this State. I presume
that the majority of this body is
pledged to vote for the man who
is said to be on his way to Wash
ington. shall find no fau with
him on that account. IF his fol.
lowers are satisfied, I am delighted
as it only proves that Senator
Jones cares little or nothing fol
the Democratic party in this Leg
islature Gentlemen if you con-
slider the importance of this cleo
ton you will elect r. P. Heating.
an honest miner, as United States
Senator.
Senator Briggs seconded the
nomination with pleasure, Of a
man who, for four and twenty
years has devoted his whole in
fuence for the benefit of the peo-
pie of Nevada, the election of
this man would DO more to dis
prove the inputations made against
Nevada in the East than anything
else could. Educated and intel
ligent he could make better i'm
preston in the halls of the IN
tied States Senate than had been
made previously. He most heart
lily desired the election Of Col.
Robert p. Heating.
Senator Dennis said: 1t is a
pleasure to me to also second the
nomination of the gentleman who
has been selected by the Demo-
Gratis to represent their interests in
the United States Senate. | most
heartily endorse theiK choice and
concur in the eulogies passed upon
him by the Senators from Lander
and White Pine. Although repre-
senting minority of their Senate
he represents the principles of the
majority of the voters of the no
ton and upon which our Govern.
ment will be conducted for the
next four years. 1t is therefore no
empty honor, and | believe has
been most worthily bestowed.
While according the full measure
Of praise and endorsing the glow
ing tribute paid to Senator Jones
for his partially successful efforts
in the silver interest, it is fact
which cannot be gainsaid that the
passage of the present silver coin
age law is due to the party of which
Robert P. Heating is the chosen
representative, Senator Jones was
only successful drought the
aid Of that party. I most heartily
endorse the nominee of the Demo
cratic caucus and only regret that
on numerical strength is not sufic-
lent to elect him.
The Chair announced the nomi-
nation closed and the roll was
called, The vote stood Ii for Jones
and 5 for Heating.

Jones had received the majority Of

DARIEN'S CONVENTION.

ucts-ConEressman Crisp and
Hon. A. o. Bacon Deliver Addresses.
DARIEN, Nov. 4.-The city is alive with
delegates to the Altamaha River I'M
proyement convention. Probably such
an important gathering has not been seen
in this city for 90 years. The citizens
look upon to-day as the beginning Of a
new era which is to restore the Old city
10 its former relative Importance as
commercial entrepOt. 1t is not only the
question of getting the government to
make liberal appropriation for the i'm
provement of the Altamaha, Oconee and
Ocmulgee rivers, so as 70 make these
magnificent water ways alive with ves-
sells and dotted along their banks with
villages and farms, but the people of
Darien are enthused over another sub
ject, that of a railroad. Darien has never
had other than water connection with
the outside world.
UNDIsPUrABLE ADVANTAGES.
With a good river and railroad open
ing up the country between the Central
railroad on the north and the East Ten
the south, with a northern terminus at
Millen, II is not expecting too much when
the DaTienites think of seeing a boom in
the old city IN the near future. There is
ample water at DObOy to float the naYies
of the world, and deep water up to
Darien. With such advantages as these
it is not to be wondered at that the citi-
zens are anxious to develop the resources
of the country naturally tributary to their
city and thus build it up.
THE CONVENTION MEETS.
The convention organized this afternoon
by electing William Hughes of Liberty
county as chairman and John ID. McLoud
of Teltair county as secretary.
Delegates were present from Appling,
Bibb, Dodge, Emanuel, Glynn, Irwin,
johnson, Liberty, Mcintosh, Montgomery,
Pulaski, Tattnall, Teltair, Wayne, and
Wilcox counties.
Letters were read from Gov. Nc Daniel,
Senator Brown, Congressman Barnesg.
BlOunt, Turner, Hammond, Norwood, and
Clements, expressing regret at their abb
sence, and promising their cooperation
and sympathy with the convention.
JUDGE CRIsP's ADDRESS.
Judge Crisp, member Of Congress, ad-
dressed the convention, explaining the
method of Congressional assistance, and
urging the convention to demonstrate 10
Congress the great importance of this inn
prOvement in relation TO national com
merce, as well as the development Of the
immense area tributary to these rivers.
Hon. A. o. Bacon, Of Bibb county, fol-
lowed in a short address. Both gentlemen
were received with much satisfaction and
applause.
Hon. j. e. Dart, of Glynn county,
moved that a committee be appointed to
prepare a suitable memorial for Congress,
urging an immediate appropriation for
the improvement Of the Altamaha river
and its tributaries.
This motion was adopted. and the Con-
vention adjourned until 0 o'clock Thurs
day.
