mi Remarks By Ed. vanderieith.
n Former Resident OF Eureka
Qusrtette and Banda Large and
Attentive Audience.
The present campaign is one Of such
importance to the people Of Nevada
and not least by any means, to those
OF Eureka county, that the few polit-
ical meetings held here so far during
the contest have been well attended
it is not therefore surprising that the
Republican meeting at the Opera
House last Thursday evening, not
withstanding the well-known over
whelming sentiment in favor OF the
Silver party in Eureka. was well at
tended. Bonfires illuminated Main
street, and anvils were fred TO show
that the enthusiasm OF Republicans
in this once Republican town had not
yet expired. Mr.. J. l.. Smith presided,
and several vice presidents lent dig
nifty TO the occasion. A splendid quar-
tette, composed OF Mrs. Henry Rives,
Miss Annie Lucey and Messrs. X. X.
Morrison and A, l.. Dornberger, accom-
panied by Miss Halle Ford at the
piano, added very much OF life to tho
occasion.
The Chairman introduced Hon. A.
G. Cleveland, of White Pine, the Re-
publican aspirant for Governor Of this
State, who said that he wished to make
an honorable caLvass, and in support
Of his candidacy, that he had been
many years a resident OF White Pine
county, and all the money he had
made had gone to develop the resour-
ces OF the State. lie said he had al
ways responded to the call Of his fel.
low citizens for help when they needed
il, and no man who should vote for
him would have occasion to regret it.
lie had never been in the employ OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pauy, aud never at any time had he
received a dollar from them. He was
now trying TO construct a railroad from
San Francisco to Salt Lake railroads
were necessary to transport our silver
and lead to market; he had spent W
$4,000 in making surveys. lie told
OF his battles with Eastern railroad
men, but they reminded him that the
"tarif" was taking all their attention.
They thought Nevada, with its various
resources, was a good field for rail-
roads, but he found more encourage
ment in Denver than in the East. The
Denver men we're men OF courage. Mr..
Cleveland said he wanted the peoples
assistance in his fight, as he wanted
TO win. lie was in favor OF silver at 10
to /. He said Col. Hayward and him
self had some mines at Cherry Greek,
and have a mill there that cost Sl5 900,
but it had never yet turned a wheel.
lie believes in home rule and is In
favor OF home investments in prefer
ence to building up California. 1t was
false, he said, that, as reported here,
he had retired from his candidacy to
20 into business in Utah. He had
driven OK teams and done all manner
OF work TO make an honorable living.
He believed in the protection OF Amer
lean productions and American labor ;
they 60 hand in had with silver, which
he believed the Republican party
would eventually restore.
Mr.. VANDERBILT was next introduced
and spoke Of the pleasure Of meeting
so many old friends in his boyhood
home. He was a bimstallist-a silver
man. He spoke OF protection to our
industries and said we must seek the
Republicans for protection. Mr.. Van.
derleith then asked for an endorse
ment OF his candidacy to the State
Secretaryship and gracefully retired.
He was succeeded by Mr.. Richards,
the Republican candidate for Treas
urer, and 0rvis Ring, superintendent
OF Public Instruction, who gave their
respective view on the offices to which
they aspire.
Mr.. Bartine was then introduced and
talked on national matters bearing on
this State. He referred to the demon
etization, led on to silver legislation in
Congress up to 1889 and glided smooth
ly through Congressional history,
from a Republican standpoint, from
that up TO the present date. He talked
rapidly for an hour and a hall, making
it impossible to report his speech with
The space at our command, and clever
ly represented the difference between
force and persuasion on Nevada's sit
uation in Congress, as seen through
Eastern s~pectacles. lie said the Re-
publican party had been right upon
every question but that OF silver, and
it would become right upon that
eventually.
The Star Band was in attendance
and played a number Of spirited airs
throughout the evening. They looked
grand in their splendid new uniforms
and were especially admired. Their
music was excellent.
A Tremendous Downfall.
