Governor ssdler. E. d. Kelley and Sam
Davis addressed q good audience at the
Opera House Thursday evening on the
questions OF the campaign. The Ruby
Hill Band was out in force, with their bril-

order by Peter Brsen, ESQ., Chairman OF
the Silver Party County Central Commit

presented Mr.. E. d. Kelley, OF the Reno
Journal, cand idate for Surveyor Genera
and the first speaker Of The evening. Mr..
Kelley spoke Of the attitude Of the Silver
party. There were in Nevada ct the pres
emit time four parties. three OF them openly
for silver, while the fourth lodges the
question locally. though its national plat
form is evidently on 9 gold bug basis. AS
q silver man Senator Stewart, the csndi-
date Of our party. Is not bound by party
ties as q Republican he is. The Senator
often says that il we are to be . financial
dependency Of Great Britain. our fore
fathers fought for independence in vain
but we never hear Of people going from
here to London to make money, 1t Is al
ways from London here. Two years ago

Four years ago I was nominated by the
Silver party for Lieutenant Governor,
and after the election, by the death OF
Governor Jones I became acting Governor
Of this State. How well / have occupied
the position I leave TO the judgment OF
the people. The only thing that can be
said against me is that I signed the Prize
Fight Bill. The Prize Fight Bill requires
q high license and an examination OF the
applicants, and has practically driven
prizeHghting from the State. while in
many Eastern States p~rizsighting still
goes on in spite Of the law and without .

One Of the parties has passed a resoiu-
tion calling for home rule for Nevada.
Our ticket has men on II who have grown

fusnce with the Republicans on the Ding

I shall continue to use my voice md all

All over the State are heard complaints OF
the impossibility Of making the mines pay
on account Of the low price Of silver. We
