HAMILTON, New, Oct. IA, 1886.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Hamilton was all
ablsze with enthusiasm last Saturday
evening, the occasion being the first sp-
pearance here Of Hon. J. Fl. Macmillan, the
Democratic nominee for Congress. The
courtroom was crowded from top to bottom
by a large and intelligent audience, whose
frequent outbursts Of applause went q
long way to show which direction the wind
will blow in this section 10 November.
Hon. Eugene Howell was chosen Chair
man, and in bis customary happy manner
introduced the speaker OF the evening.
Mr.. Macmillan came forward. and In q
vigorous and open style dealt With the
issues Of the day. His forcible and logical
arguments were OF q kind that could meet
with no contradiction. His points were
well taken, and from the beginning Of his
speech until its close 1t rebounded with
facts and figures. The most untiring at
tention was given him by the we'll pleased
audience. Amid hearty applause the
Chinese question was handled without
gloves, and in such q decided manner that
there was no one present but who could
see the weak points upon which the Repub-
licsn party wen aground upon that all
important issue. The absorbing and vital
industry of Observation-Disclosures brought
forward in all its details and presented to
the audience in such q mastery style as
TO deserve recognition even from the
hands Of all fsir-minded and liberal ad.
hsrents Of the Republican party present,
so t~ruthfully was the argument founded
upon facts and fg4res.
Mr.. Macmillan kept the floor for two
hours. At the end Of his speech he
thanked the large audience present for the
kind attention paid him during the even
ing. The audience, in return, showed
their appreciation fer the speaker in O
true Democratic style by huzzas and clap
ping Of hands, making the house shake
from top to bottom.
At the close of Mr.. MacMillan's speech |
the Chairman introduced John McKernan, |
the Democratic nominee for Clerk of the
Supreme Court, who. in a few appropriate
and terse remarks, showed his capacity as
an orator, and guaranteed that were he
elected to fill the Office 10 which he aspires
he would endeavor TO carry out the duties |
Of said Office to the beat Of his ability.
The meeting was brought to q close by
the Chairman presenting John A. Doyle.
nominee for County CLERK of White Pine
county, who briefly defined his position as
a Democrat, and asked that he be remem-
bered in the coming November election.
With thee rousing cheers for MaoMil.
Ian and tue Democratic party, the meeting
broke up. and all dispersed to their homes.
imbued with Democratic principles and
with the resolution plainly depicted upon
their countenances to vote the straight
Democratic ticket on the and Of Novemb Der.
II is predicted by Mr.. Howell and all
well.informed Democrats in this section
that Adams, Bell and Macmillan will
sweep everything in Lincoln, White Pine
and Nye counties, and that the vote in
these three counties will more than offset
the Republican vote in some of the larger
counties in the western part Of the State.
