MAJ. W. V. Rinehart was called I'm and
made a lively and sensible address. Among
other things he said ne was pleased 10 see
90 large a turnout M the initial meeting
OF the club. as 1t augured well for success
Al the polls. Our friends. the enemy"
be said, ARE on The run. and a number OF
those who left the party are returning"
He believed that nothing was gained by
abusing those who ware outside OF the
80 L. H. h.
personal canyaSsiug and sound EepUhli-
can argument as a means OF bringing back
tbs lost sheep TO he true fold. This he
thought. could be done with silver Repub-
iicans and Democrats. but be declared that
when voter was absolutely Populist he
vas lost. When the country ~as In peril
from 1861 till ls6S the Republicans were
helped In the work OF saving the country
BY the loyal Democrats. Now that the
country was again In peril, the loyal Dem
ocrsts would once again help the Repub-
sicans 10 save II from utter ruin.
Senator w. II. Forrest made a short but
eloquent speech. lie said ne was once n
resident OF Nevada, the silver state. ard
ne thought the Republican party was a
better friend OF silver than the populists
were. He thought the Republicans should
be called sound money men. rather than
gold men. The sound money Democrats
did not propose 10 east half vote for
10 east whole vote for Mckinley and the
anld standard, The fusiouists. he declared,
were loosely tied ,ngelaer. and we're liable
80 fail TO pieces before the elHction was
over. Mr- Forrest scured the @os3id-he re
radlationists. The silver boom had reached
fiS highest point. AMI nov recedinF.
The change had come. and If Republicans
worked earnestly together. making a
haad-ta-hani campaign. the state Wa
certain so give majority Tor the Repub-
ncan ticket.
pr Burma remarked that a good many
people were under tho impression that
free silver meant literally free silver, ana
that. Uncle SAN would Rand cat the white
metal dollars - Tao people without re-
eetvine anything N return fer them.
