Last Tuesday evening the Eureka StaI
Band played . number Of inspiring
psices, skyrockess shot through the air,
and bonfires blszed on Main street as q
stream Of people poured into the Eureks
Opera House to listen to the gentlemen
who were to talk from q Republican
standpoint on the political issues.
Mr.. Wren, Chairman Of the Republi-
can County Central Committee, called
the meeting to order and, after q brief
Introductory address, presented
HON. H. y. BARTINE.
That gentleman preluded his remarks
by stating that at the time he was ell
ected to represent the people in Congress
he had not had any legislative expert
ence. not even in the Legislature Of Ne
vada. He set up q general defense Of his
course in Congress and s~pologised for
having voted to make Tom Reed OF
Maine, who had been notorious for his
hostility to silver. Speaker Of the
House. He spoke OF the laws that were
passed by the Fifty.6rst Congress and
Of the Mckinley Tariff bill. He
spoke Of the Window Bullion Redemp-
ton and Sherman Compromise Silver
bills and then said that the rise in silver
after Harrison's election was partly
through speculation. He also said ait
was an utter impossibility to have o
gold and silver standard while we pro-
duce four or five million dollars worth of
silver O month" While defending the |
Sherman Compromise bill he said "We
have not taken this bill as the finale Of
legislation" He claimed that it was
useless to demand free coinage, but said
that il could have been secured il silver
had been at 81 10 at the time the bill |
was introduced instead OF SO cents. Free
coinage be said could not be forced.
Mr.. Bartine next spoke Of the State
platforms Of both parties. He said about
Mr.. Colcord. Republican nominee for
Governor, that the gentlemsn's name was
on the tax roll 10 a modest extent, and
wound up by asking If it Is reasonable
that he (Mr. Bartine) should bloom out
into q Webster or Q Clay in one session.
He thought the people ought to be satis-
fed with the very little record he had
made.
MR.. FRANCIS O. NEwIANDs
Was next introduced, and stated that
be felt embarrassed because Mr.. Bar.
tine, whom he had not met before in the
canvass, had spoken his speech. He
said that the European nations had fol-
lowed England in demonitizing silver,
and no attempt had since been made by
them to remonitize it. He said also
that the financial policy of the Demo
cratic party is to set up and oppose the
financial policy of the whole world. We
had restored silver by the Bland Act.
He explained the meaning of the tariff
and said said that with Q tar on our
goods and the high cost Of labor added,
we cannot compete unless our labor and
products fall to the level of the labor
and products of other countries. He
paid q compliment TO Mr.. Cleveland for
his integrity, bnt doubted his wisdom.
he wished to preserve the merit Of o
~sistancy and told Mr.. Cleveland that il
he delivered his tariff message to Con-
gress he (Newlands) would leave the De-
mocratic party.
Mr.. Newlands next spoke on State
matters. He denounced the Democratic
platform for calling attention TO the i'm
proverished condition OF Nevada. and
Immediately followed by saying that the
President Of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company is afraid TO extend that line
into this State on account OF prohibitory
taxation. He thought the storage Of
water would add to the wealth Of the
State.
X. X. CoLCoRD
Being introduced, said be had been on
exhibition q month and the reason why
he is not known is because he is not .
politician. He ridiouled the Democratic
platform, gave his reason for taking the
nomination for Governor and said that
he had made no promises to anybody
not even Mr.. Yerrington.
J. PoUJADE
Made his bow to the audience, landed
the Republican party and then talked
about the call in the Democratic plat.
form for reform in State matters. He
thought the Republicans would be able
70 reform as much OF the State matters as
needed reform. He said it was claimed
that the Republican party had robbed
the School Fund and Their stated how
the money which had been derived from
the sale OF lands had been invested aud
declared that enough money had been
collected to run schools in every district
10 the State. "The most eloquent thing
the Democrats can do" said Mr.. Pom.
Jade, "is to sit down."
JUDGE t. II. WELLS,
Who is q candidate for reelection was
next introduced and made the clearest
speech Of the evening. He spoke Of the
irriducible bonds In the school funds and
asked which was the best-to pay the
interest on our bonds to our people or to
pay IL to strangers. He did not believe
that the Republicans deserved credit for |
all that was done on the silver question. |
Noble Democrats stood shoulder to
shoulder for the best interests Of silver. |
His position as . judge on the bench
prevented him from saying anything
further.
A. L. CHENEY, ESQ.
Expressed his thanks for the hearty
support he had received when he had
asked the people for their sufferages.
He said there are no parties. political in
courts. Democrats as we'll as Republi-
cans are entitled to justice. He pro-
missed to administrate justice with i'm.
partiality If elected.
