The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1892-11-02

Wadsworth presented a lively appear
ance Saturday evening, the occasion be-
ing the day chosen by the candidates on
the silver party county ticket, to air
their views on local issues. The business
houses were generally well advertised by
large transparepcies which bore inscrip-
tions~ suggestive of the sentiment of the
party. The bonfires blazed and the high
shooting flames lit up the streets with
sunlight b~rilliancy. Snowfall was in
his element and stayed with the occa-
tpn with considerable pertinacity.
There was a large crowd at Music Hall
when Hon. w. IL. A. Pike, the master
Of ceremonies, began his remarks. He
presented the vital points of the cam
paign from a local standpoint in a clear
and concise statement Of how the legisla-
tive ticket was pledged to that grand old
man, Senator Stewart; of how it was
pledged to repeal the Act creating the
State Board of Assessors; and OF how it
was pledged for a Constitutional Conven-
ton, having for its main object the re-
duction of the extravagant cost OF carry
ing on our State government. He told
how Senator Stewart had a measure un-
der way in Congress to apply the town
ship laws to Wadsworth and give every
man owning a lot in Wadsworth a clear
title to that lot, and the efforts he was
making to have the big mesa irrigated
and thrown open for settlement.
Mr.. Pike is pledged to support and
vote for Senator Stewart.
c. A. N%orcross, nominee for Assembly
man, made a good impression and show
ed himself a good talker and thoroughly
competent to represent Washoe county.
Jack Foulks of Verdi, on the legisla-
tive ticket, showed the voters present
that Washoe had appropriations to look
after and rhe would not get them unless
Washoe stood in line with the Silver
party, as that party would have an
overwhelming majority in the Legisla-
tnre. Jack Foulks is a pioneer and
crossed the Truckee river 40 years ago.
He is for Stewart, of course.
Cap. Griffin, for the Assembly, was
spoken highly Of as a man, experienced,
honest End in every way capable.
r. G. Leeper, for sheriff, said he was
singled out for his vote on the fish law,
Senate Bill SO, and told why he voted
the way he did. He was ignorant Of the
habits Of our trout and took advice from
Fish Commissioner Mills, W. r. Cham
berlain, Mr.. Bobo and others who claim
to know something about fish. Mr..
Leepcr was honest and manly in his
statement. (The truth of the matter is
he was deceived and wrongly informed
by the above gentlemen who have other
than the welfare of the fish or the inter
ests OF Wadsworth at heart.-Edftor.)
B. F. Curler, nominee for Dist. Attor-
ney and County Supt. of Schools, is "a
bright young man and he showed it by
capturing the house with his oratory
and wit. He is bound to succeed and is
able to take care Of our interests.
The orator of the evening WAS c. G.
Powning, Presidential Elector on the
Silver ticket. Mr.. Powning held the au-
dience with his eloquence and magne-
tism and made a telling speech. He
held that a vote for Weaver is a vote for
Nevada and not a vote for Ben Harrison
or Grover Cleveland. The speaker was
warmly %applauded many times during
the course of his remarks. The Wads-
worth band played Home Sweet Home
and the meeting adjourned.
