NEWLANDs.

Last Wednesday evening 1t was evl-
dent from the stir and bnsile in town
that the silver party OF Nevada had
stepped upon the scene Tor the first time
in this eventfuI compaign. Music Hall
was filled to overlooking and by the time
OF meeting standing room Mas at a pre-
MUM.
The meeting was called to order by
Hon. W. IL. A. Pike who acted as Chair
man and who in q short but earnest ef-
fort made plain the reasons for the call
ing OF the Silver party into existence in
this State.
The first number on the program was
the rendering oil campaign song by the
Virginia City glee club, uniformed. They
sang 'Bartine Left Behind" and were
encored. The Chairman in a flattering
speech introduced Hon. +. u. Newlands.
candidate for Member of Congress. Mr..
Newlands praised ellsworth Tor the
Aeatness of the streets and grounds, its
beautiful cottages and the harmony in
general which chsracterizes Wadsworth
as being a very pretty little village. His
observation makes good the repeated OBJ
s~eryation of the DISPATCH that the citi-
zens in the matter of identifying the
town by tasty cottages and grounds, are
far in advance Of anything and every
thing with which the county has to do.
The speaker. took q decided stand OH
the labor question, showing him to be in
hearty sympathy with the laborer and
in favor of maintaining god wages. He
assigned as the cause of the present de-
preston, the scarcity of the mou OF
money in the world through the demon
.itization Of silver. MIR. Newlands eaid
in effect that while Wadsworth is now a
fairly prosperous community, the de-
Gcline of silver would in the course OF fur
Their decline, affect this community and
these happy homes SO We would
undoubtedly feel it as others felt and
feel it. The Silver party exists because
silver has not been remonitized, In
speaking of silver Mr.. Newlands warmed
up and showed a great depth of feeling
and his passionate bursts Of oratory
called forth continued applause from an
audience in hearty accord with the
speaker. That there is hope for the Sill
yer party gaining strength enough in the
course OF time TO accomplish its object,
MIR. Newlsnds made plain by r~ec,ting
the history of -tlie downfall of slavery in
tho Omitted States, through the begin
ming made by a few enthusiasts like
John Brown. Applause.
He called attention to the fact that
the South is outstanding strength to
throw 10 the silver cause, that the great
labor organizations are comforting TO
bring about a unity of opinion on this
great question. 1t would not have been
any worse for our forefsthers to have
joined British regiments, than it is for
the people of Nevada today TO belong 10
any patty but the Silver party, The
Republican misunderstanding" re-
a generous share of attention.
That a few men may have great power
in the congress of the Unfted States was
made plain by recalling the action oil
three Republican Senators holding the
entire senate at bay in 1890, and the
added privileges aud benefits gives the
Irish peaaantry through the efforts OF .
lew but able and patriotic leaders. Mr..
Newiands spoke very kindly of MIR.
Doughty but thinks him y misguided
Young ma being used as a cats paw by
the Republicans. Mr.. Newlands closed
with All earnest appeal to the voters OF
Nevada to sustain the principles oil the
Silver party for the benefit OF the citi-
zen aud the welfaro OF the State and
