Work for Wadsworth.


Bang!
Ter-rad-duml
Did you see the sparks fly?
1t was II great occasion and good to
the end.
II made one think of the paliny days
of a lively mining camp.
The Wadsworth band was out again,
greatly improved by getting used t"
moving in society.
The ladies were out in force and every
seat in Music Hall was occupied.
The meeting was called to order by

oils.
The chairman introduced the next
Congressman from Nevada, Hon. +. e..
Newlands, and he received a warm well
come.
Sell preservation is the first law of ma
ture.
He would talk to the audience as if he
were engaged in a conversation with
each and every one
He passed through the state and found
it in a deplorable condition. The men
idle and respondent and their families
in want. The agricultural districts were
found, in a condition bordering on ruin.
Some Of the most beautiful valleys in
the state were found to be fast v~erging
on the Drinks OF depopuistion. He took
the various counties OF the state and
showed the suffering in each the deser-
ted houses; the mines shut down and
want staring them in the face. 1t would
not pay under the present price of silver
to NINE the thousands of tons of low
grade ore in the Comstock mines. The
Comstock mines monthly pay roll aggre-
eating some 200, 900 dollars was paid by
the stockholders through assessments
The stockholders are becoming discour-
aged and if they lose heart and do not
continue to pay assessments the mines
would shut down. The counties border
ing Storey are dependent upon the Com
stock mines, ard if they shut down these
counties and the dependent Industries
must go down III the general ruin. He
said the cause Of all this was known to
the people. Gen. Grant, ignorant of the
fact that he had signed a bill for the
denomination of silver in 1873, two
years later asked Congress to increase
the mint facilities OF the United States.
The agitation must be kept up. The ag-
itation in favor of silver ceased for a
short time during the session of the
International Monetary Conference, that
meeting did nothing AMI it took the dis
ciples of silver 10 years to reach the
point they had attained before that con-
ference. MI. Newlands was a member OF
the Silver League of the United States
and was made Vice-President Of it's chief
committee. The committee extended
the agitation throughout the Southern
states which were favorable to the silver
cause. The agitation had it's effect and
raised q clamor even to the very
doors of the White House.
OF the silver measure taken up in the
House by the threats of Senator Stewart
and Jones that they would not vote for
the Mckinley Bill unless the
silver bill was taken out of COM
mittee, he said: The Administers
ton was forced through the push on the
Mckinley Bill. Within a few days the
bill was taken out Of the House
Committee and three courageous men
brought the Congress OF the U. s. and
the President to terms.
He showed the record of the two great
parties on the silver question and con
clusively proved that their leaders are
opposed to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. Is there any hope for the
silver measures within the boundaries Of
the two great parties? He showed the
necessity of sending a delegation indie.
pendent of party measures, to exert al
their power for the silver cause. He
showed that General Weaver would hold
the balance of power in the electoral col
lege. He cited numerous cases to show
