GOODWIN AT RENO

in Reno on the 9th, ult., as follows:
81 come tonight because [ love my
friends. [ have been on the Comstock
again to-day for the first time in many
years. Once I lived in Virginia and
did great deal of hard work, but l
was fully repaid by the appreciation
of the intelligent people of the Com
stock. I have met great number of
people or the st eets here to day, but
only few of my old-time friends and
the hands which were cordially ex-
tended to me were shaking with age.
The spray of the dark waters is already
splashing upon them; we are no longer
spring chickens.
The speaker continued by saying
that he found some consolation for the
changes which time had wrought in the
thought that only few people on the
Comstock knew what bad speaker he
was.
81 have several personal friends on
the ticket, and [ thought / would come
out ON little sympathetic strike of
my own
The Speaker TIN n went on to discuse
the Silver party. He said that that
party was making great noise with
its cry for silver. He said they re-
minded him of the story about an
Irishman who was returning home by
dangerous trail late at night when a
tremendous thunderstorm was rag
ing. The Irishman was not afraid of
the lightning, but he didn't like the
thunder, and finally, when a great
flash of lightning came, followed by
tremendous clap Of thunder, the IRISH
man, fell ON his knees. off it doesn't
make any difference to ycu," said he,
addressing the Almighty, 81 wish You
would send less noise and more light.
"The Silver party reminds Inc,
continued the speaker, "of this Irish
man. I do not liken Nevlands to
lightning, nor does Stewart suggest
thunder; but give us less noise ana
more light. 1 have heard that Sena-
tor Jones has left the Republican party.
[ heard it before left home. But y hat

art talk. Whenever any question was
brought up in the Senate, Stewart
would get up and talk until every body
left the Senate chamber. After while
it only took ten minutes for Stewart
to clear the Senate chamber"
Goodwin said that he liked Stewart
only he had no discrimination. If any
one was opposed to Stewart in opinion
he was Immediately his foe, and not
only his foe but that he has been
bought. When man holds these
opinions" said Mr.. Goodwin, cit is
good thing to look into his private &C
counts

costly Senator Nevada ever had
Newlands is lovable gentleman. l
saw him often when | was in Wash
ington and he reminded me of a story
about boy whose father had sent him
out to chase home a stray calf. The
calf got with wild steer and the boy
chased the cattle until he was COM
pletely exhausted. Finally as the calf
was disappearing over the crest of a
hill with the steer the boy sat down
and said: "Run, you fool calf, but
when it comes to supper time you will
find out what kind of mother you
have picked up" I never looked at
Newlands all the time was in Wash

often think of the cheek of the
Silver party. That party is at the ra-

they hope to accomplish the remoneti-
