spoke as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION:
But few weeks ago the Silver party,

in convention at Reno to dominate an
electoral ticket for THE State and TO
adopt platform. At the time that
convention met the Peoples party of
the United States had not held its
convention. We were not certain of
the man that we would desire to sup
port for President in the coming con-
test. We made but ono issue and re-
solved upon that issue to stand or fall
in this State, and that was the FREQ

parties had placed their candidates in

mated Benz. Harrison, the answering
foe Of silver, upon an anti-Silver plat
form. The Democratic party nomi-
mated Grover Cleveland, if possible, a
still more bitter foe Of silver, on an
anti-silver platform, ana our friends,
the prohibitionists, probably having
it in their eye that they would never
have to use a silver dime or n quarter

also adopted an anti-silver platform.

has evolved. These improvements have been

by the William A. Harris Steam Engine Co.,

These engines are built in various types and
different forms. such as Simple, Tandem Com

as already combining the highest standard of
economy. durability, reliability and simplicity
In its construction and operation, new fea-

The company devote their entire attention
TO the manufacture of high-grade engines
and as they have no other branches to distract
their attention they have all their work
highly specialized.
The William A. Harris Steam Engine Com
pany is the direct outgrowth of the plant
established in 1864 by Mr.. VIM. A. Harris on
Eddy street, this city. Even at the inception
Of the business IL grew with such remarkable
strides that in the short space of four years,
a greatly enlarged plant became an absolute
necessity. So in November, 1868 ample space
was secured at Park and Promenade streets
and the plant was there removed. The |
premises of the company comprise over l5O,- |
900 square feet of land near the old state
prison. All the buildings in which the work is
carried on were built for the special accomoda-
tion of the business and consist of a machine
shop, pattern shop, blacksmith shop, iron
brass foundry, pattern storehouse
and other structures containing over 10000
square feet of floor space in all, every inch of

stantly growing enterprise. A very large
