points. At the conclusion OF his
speech, Alfred Chartz, Populist can
dikate for 'Attorney-G General, took
the floor.
Mr.. Chartz started our by saying
that he came to Nevada in 1868 bare
footed and wearing hat without any
rim. He had married in the State
and all of his children were born here
and he expected to die and be buried
here. He then pitched into Stewart
and disputed his right to represent
the people of Nevada in the U. S.
Senate. He took up the mining laws
and said that Stewart must have had
something to do with them as they
we're bad lot as they deprived pros
pectors and miners of the fruits of
their labor. He spoke of Stewarts's
claim that he had secured the appro-
priations for the Carson postoffice
mint and University and claimed that
the credit for the postoffice and mint
belonged to Cassidy, Senator Nye
and Abe Curry. The war claims Of
100000 that Stewart. claimed so
much credit for we're a fraud and on
ly did duty in Senatorial campaigns.
Mr.. Chartz then went into the early
mining litigation on the Comstocl1
and claimed that Stewart was respon-
sible for the establishment of the one
ledge theory. He then took up the
demonstration of silver and claimed
that Stewart knew what he was about
when he voted in 1873. He read ex-
tracts from Stewards speeches and
claimed that the Senator talked for
the gold standard before demonetiza.
ton was accomplished. The Sher-
man act Of 1890 and Stewards con-
nection Herewith next came in for
the denunciatlon of the speaker. He
denied that he had maligned Stewart
and claimed that the Senator had
maligned himself by his course in the
Senate. He took up the Dinghy bill
and claimed that Stewart and Jones
had the deciding votes on that
measure End should have insisted up
ON the passage Of ii free coinage bill
in return for their votes for that
measure. He claimed that the COM
pact on the DINGHY bill by Senator
Stewart was for votes to pass the rail-
road funding bill. Mr.. Chartz de-
voted some time to the V. & IT. rail
road and closed amid applause. He
told number OF funny stories and
kept the frozen audience in good
humor.
The band played and Hon. Thomas
Wren, Populist candidate for Con-
gress. was next introduced.
Mr.. Wren began by saying that
everybody in Nevada was in favor OF
home rule. 1t means much to the
people OF Nevada, The home rule

vious speakers to the Stewart gander
he would apply more highly seasoned
to the Newlands goose. He alluded
sarcastically to Mr.. Newlauds as q
kind husband and an indulgent father
and spoke Of his English drag and
bob-tailed mustangs. He claimed
that Stewart and Newlands directed
the Reno convention and that the
night the Silver party convention was
In session the man in the moon as he
sailed over the town held his nose.
He compared his Congressional
record with that OF Mr.. Newlands and
claimed that he had accomplished
more for the State in one term than
Newl. nds had done in three. He
had brought down the disfavor OF the
railroad company by "oting for the
Reagan bill and the Thurman act.
Those votes had kept him out of of.

Mr.. Newlands' English drag and mus.

OF merriment by his sarcastic re
marks. He spoke Of his opponents
