A strong Republican pooh-p oohed
the idea Of defeating Sweet. He said
that he has strong hold on the peo-
pie because he answers promptly
every letter written to him. Well, the
speaker thought he did not read these
letters. So he wrote Sweet, asking
him to have . boy 16 years old sp.
pointed Rear Admiral of the United
States Navy. Mr.. Sweet, tho very
next day, replied that he would
have the matter attended to at once!

A REFUGEE SPEAKS.
E. B. Pursell, = union man from
Shoshone county, followed Mr.. Burke.
Claiming to have been driven out Of
Shoshone county because he would no.
vote the Republican ticket, he said
that the union miners up there, thong h
braided as mur6erers, midnight as.
sassins and Mollie Maguires. had not
treated the militia and regulars 9th
erwise than with the greatest kind
ness and courtesy. In a.few days the
evidence that conspiracy existed to
drive union men out OF the county to
carry it for the Republicans will be
brought out at Murray. He de-
nounced Colonel Curtis for his un.
warranted abuse of power, especially
in closing down the Tiger and Poor
man mines az . military necessity

would not have been master of the
situation. Sensation, and . few

many other speakers he would Close
with one word about the tariff.
About $500, 900, 900 are necessar,
every year to carry on the government.
and this must be raised either by ,
tariff or by internal revenue. "Tb'
