AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
STEPS TO TEST The VALIDITY OF
Tie STATE ELECTION.

I test the validity OF the election OF last
! Fall
For some months past such leading
terprise, the Chairman Of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, Enoch
Strother, Allen Bragg, and miscel.
! laneous assortment of disgruntled
have watched the progress of political
events and decided that the gradual
rise of silver was due to the efforts Of
the Silver party of Nevada and that
something must be done to convince
the people that the Silver party had
nothing to do with it.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Coffin who made a fearful speech
on the spoils system and also dWelt
upon the growing dishonesty Of men
in office The Legislature that failed
to pass his $3.50 relief bill was scored
numerically, The gentleman added
that since the Silver party had come
into power the good, old, palmy days
for relief bills for private individuals
had passed, and woe had come upon
the earth.
A resolution by Allen Bragg to the
effect that the desks n the Senate
Chamber be draped in black for 80
days, was passed unanimously.
NEWS FROM EUREKA.
In the midst OF the deliberations a
boy from the Western Union office
came in with the following:
Eureka, Nevada.
To the Republican State Central
Committee: I have left the Silver
party as there is no pay in my job.
Count me with you in the next cleo
ton. RheinhOld Sadler.
There was much enthusiasm when
the dispatch was read and a resolution
Of thanks was passed and spread on
the minutes.
PLAN OF ACTION.
A committee consisting of Messrs. !
Bragg, Coffin aud the Enterprise man /
whose name the reporter did not catch,
was appointed to draft plan of ac
ton. 1t was already drawn up and +.
without debate.
It appears that several legal lumin
ares OF the Republican party had dis
covered that The act Of 1850 providing
for general elections in the State of
Nevada had been Incorrectly enrolled,
and that therefore all elections in this
State since that time were null and
void, especially the enc that took place
last November and put Silver men in
office. It was proposed to test the law
and by declaring the election nul and
void it would GUST all the officers in
he State Capital building and their
would go back into power
at the old salaries. Loud applause
this announcement.
SNAG.
One OF those present at the meeting
that if the last election was
null and void. would not the election
our years before be in the same boot
The man was at once picked up by
he slack of the pants and the nap Of
he neck and thrown through the win
low After the broken glass was
gathered up, Mr.. Coffin said that the
was very easily bridged. ,
After the Republicans once got into
power they would buy up the Supreme
Court and declare everything solid
,rior to 1894 More applause followed I
his announcement and advantage
vas at once taken Of tie enthusiasm $
