plsyed-A Host OF Delegates 80 the
Carson Convention Elected.
II the interest OF our people on the silver
question is Commensurate with the large
crowd present in the courtroom yesterday
evening. surely they are fully awake to
the danger threatening our chief industry.
At half-past seven O'Clock Chairman Rock
called the meeting to order, and Secretary
Pardy read the minutes Of the previous
meeting.
G. w. Baker, as Chairman Of the com
mittee appointed on Wednesday evening
to ascertain what action should be taken
on the part of the citizens of Eureka, and
to solicit subscriptions for the sending OF
q delegate to the Denver Convention, re-
ported that he was unable to accomplish
anything in the way of subscriptions for
the object named. and that he found the
disposition of those he saw to be to send
delegates only to the Carson Convention.
j. v. B. Perry moved that the report be
received. Carried.
Mr.. Perry also moved that the meeting
indorse the action Of the Legislative Com
mittee that appointed the ten delegates to
the Carson Convention, and that the com
mittee Of which r.Baker was Chairman So
licit from our citizens an amount not less
than $500 each for the ten appointed dele
gates.
Mr.. Baker thought that it was owing to
the fact that the gentlemen had been
treated, as he had claimed, discourteously
l he tbo nhafr On tho vrayiona avaninU that
caused him TO make such q motion. He
believed that some action should be taken
concerning our representation to the Car
son Convention, and that the motion was
not made in good faith-in fact, in bad
taste; that the gentlemen who could and
would 90 TO the convention ought to feel a
sufficient interest in the matter to pay
their own expenses. He made a vigorous
speech, and denounced the action OF the
Legislative Committee in their attempt to
debar the citizens OF Eureka Of some of the
sacred rights Of American citizenship.
Mr.. Perry withdrew the motion, and
moved that the meeting select ten dele
gates to represent Eureka county in the
Carson Convention.
Mr.. Cheney complimented Mr.. Bakers
Fourth-of-July ~spread-eagle speech, and
then proceeded to speak favorably OF the
gentlemen already appointed as delegates,
aud Of the committee that appointed
them; also, Of Eureka county's representa-
ton in the Legislature. They are, he
claimed, a representative body Of men,
and, as such. any action OF theirs in the
matter, under the circumstances, should
be Endorsed. The opposition was not
made, he claimed, on account OF ineficiency
Of any Of the gentlemen appointed, but 1t
was the outgrowth o. personal feeling.
He ended his remarks by moving as an
amendment to the motion before the house.
that lit is the sense OF this meeting that
The delegation appointed by the Legislative
Committee. owing to their qualifications,
zeal and popularity, are satisfactory, and
that we ratify them as our representatives.
