ing spoke as follows:
4Geniemen of the Conrention:
- regret exceedingly the absence
OF ex.Govsrnor Adama, the regular
Chairman OF the Democratic State
Central Committee. In his absence it
devolves upon me- to open tho pro-
ceedings OF this Convention. l am
sure lac has somo good excuse for not
being here, for he has always been
ready to a3s;st in the councils Of the
party.
III congratulate the Democracy OF
Nevada on its splendid representation
to-day from every county in the State.
Hknow that harmony and good feel.
Jag will prevail in u deliberations,
and n good. strong ticket will be nom
inuted. We have truth and i~usticeon
our sido, and thou; n truth and jus.
tice doas not often prevail in Nevada,
the people aro getting enlightened.
and il we put forward our bost mon
they will vots the Democratic ticket.
II notice n marked difference be-
tween this Convention aud tho one
that recently assembled ir Virginia
City. Tho people hero are represent
ed; thore, representatives Of railroads
and monopolies met. We are assem-
'bled for tho benefit of all tho people,
aud moi OF monopulists, and cur prin-
ciples und our doctrines ought to pre-
vail, and will prevail il the first inter-
csts OF tho State ure to be consid-
cred.
"rhe Republicans have placed in
nomination q man for Governor who
lives 30 near the line Of our State that
a survey will have to be made to de-
termine whether no lives in Nevada
or California. But that makcs littl.
difference to the Republican party,
because they have been in tho habit
Of importing people from California
and running them successfully, any
how.
Against this man was n worthy
a~spirant for GOVERNOR citizen OF
Reno-a gentleman who has rendered
l)yal services to the Republican party
in ths past; / gentleman who has
done more for the people OF Reno
generally, and the State Of Nevada
generally. than all tho Colcords be-
tween heie and Bodic; but he did not
have the collar on him, and his ser
vices, though invaluable to tho State,
were not current coin.
Il notice the absence Of those gen.
men who put up tho Republican
ticket. / notice the absence from our
deliberations OF tho black plumcd
gentleman from Eurcka-Black Wal
lace and the whitr-plumed gentle.
nau from Ormsby, and there is no
man hero on the payroll! OF the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad; but 40 are
mere, representatives Of the Domo-
cratic party Of tho State OF Nevada,
10 present our principles to the peo-
pie, and to leave tho matter to their
good, sound judgment" [Greut :p-
