Tho Senator thanked the audience
for its kind reception and at oace
launched into u discussion of the
question before tho people of Nevada
in the present campaign. With burn.
ing words, he pictured the hypocrisy
ut the Republican party in it's cuurse
toward silver us shown 10y it's repre-.

The Senator then proceeded to pay
his respects to the Republican State

check in calling upon him to resign
the Office OF United States Senator.
He had hardly got into the merits OF
this interesting subject when he WI

Senator complied with the request
and at his suggestion Hon. c. c.

In spoke i'll a slow, Deliberate manner,
but rs he warmed UP the words OF de.
nunciation OF both the old parties for

He spoke Of the progress OF the sill
Yer sentiment in the East and urged
