across the street from the thcater where
the convention was held About 10 o'clock
Gov. Taylor appeared on the balcony of
the hotel and made a speech. lie begged
the delegates for their votes, and said that
he had been lied about. He did
not favor the Blair bill. Ills entire speech
was to explain his position on the Blair
bill and TO plead for votes. When he
ceased the Taylor men made break for

c. W. Charlton gained the floor and nom.
mated John NJ. Brooks for chairman.
Brooks was Mcconnell man. The TAYLOR
men nominated j. c. Grant. A vote was
taken, when the Taylor men demanded u
| division, which wiz granted. Some thirty
minutes oil the widest confusion was
spent in deciding how /; should he taken
The convention came near splitting, when
finally II was decided 10 have men march
out OF tho door and be counted by the
tellers, This occupied more than nm hour.
The tellers did not know all the men and
scores OF Republicans were counted in
spite OF all so great WIS the confusion.
The tcllor Pnnounccd iSj for Mcconnell
and jS3 for Taylor. Besides Republicans
who voted for Taylor many were in the
house yelling for him like madness After
Iaylor's chairman was elected so unfairly
cut and dry gap program was CARED out
and delegates were instructed for Taylor
but without any parliamentary rules. A
big row occurred. Nothing could hc heard
or done. The motion was never carried.
The chairman announced that it had
but no one heard him. lIo fixed on
what he says was done, and IL appears in
evening papers No motion was ever made
TO adjourn the convention. IL simply
broke up in n big row.
The Hon. G. W. Mabry says that II
either Mcconnell or Taylor are nominated
that 800 Democratic votes in that county
will 20 10 the Republican candidate. lie
says that West and Middle Tennessee
must select or compromise q candidate, or

Miss Minnie Palmer has ex-
planned to reporter how she is
able to kick SO high on the stage
and yet not appear immodest.
Size winds 100 yards OF lace
about her hips and has it crinkled
in and out, so that when she kicks
her foot level with her head and
points her toe at the gallery it does
not effend the modesty of the most
fastidious Reno audience.
One night, however. Miss Palmer
was in such hurry that she forgot
her 100 yards of lace and went on
the stage kicking just the same.
She got a great deal Of applause
from the pit and the gallery, but
the dress circle was cold-cold.

NEvADa,S WAR CLAIMS. "a
Senator Stewart il Pressing
Them in Congress.

! There are three claims now pend
| in. in Congress on behalf OF the
State Of Nevada against the United
States Government. One is fol
money advanced by the State for
the enrolling and forwarding oil
troops to put down the rebellion,
and amounts to $349, 697.
There is another for the White
| Pine Indian war, and amounts to
$l7 $50; also the Elko Indian war
amounting to $4,000. The total in
round numbers is 1912 900.
The economic Democratic Adj
ministration which, while bowling
about a surplus continues to help it
grow, cut this claim of 1912 900
down to $33,17 and all but $3.50
OF .his was for the Indian wars.
Senator Stewart recognizing the
fact that these claims are just, and
that the amount was actually paid
by the State, has made an exhaust
i've Committee report, and proposes
to push the claims through Con-
gress for the whole amount.
Tle Indian war claims have got
SO far that they will be settled in
full, that is, the principal will be
paid, but the close-fisted Admins
tration refused to pay the interest.
Some OF the claims are allowed to
old residents OF this city, and are as

UN-TRUST-WORTRY

The sudden cessation of the loud talk
that was INDUCED in by certain
Democratic reformers in congress con-
cerning the proposed investigation of
trusts has caused a good many people to
mistrust that something has gone
wrong. The Republicans wish the good
work to proceed. The coal oil monopoly
of the millionaire Democratic senator
from Ohio. in which rich member of
the cabinet is said to have some stock.
would be a good one to begin on. Next
in order should be the great coal trust.
MIR. Cieveland'S particular friend and
spokesman. Congressman Scott, could.
perhaps. tale unfold on that subject
The Republicans are exchanging many
sly winks at the gingerly manner in
which this delicate subject is now being
handled by the Democratic majority.
One or two noviceS. like Congressman
Mcdonald, of Minnesota, jumped on to
the great trust ''hoss" 10 take ride for
the benefit of their constituents. aud got
bucked off too quick. One or two other
Democrats picked the subject up only to
drop it ike hot potato when the
prompter gave them ugly shake of the
head.
The plea is that the subject is 50 big
and the time of congress so short that
justice cannot be done TO the question
this session. The fact is the committee
ran against several Democratic snags at
the outset. Chief among these were not
only the petroleum trust, but also the su-
gar trust, the cotton and the oil trust.
and one or two other trusts which hap
pened 10 be the pet trusts of prominent
Democrats, or trusts in which the friends
several prominent Democrats were espec-
tally Interested.
