Clayeland's Speech in Reno

The following account of A. G.. FoV"- :
lands speech in Reno is from the J"H'-
nal of Sund2y.
Mr.. Folsom at the close of tho overtHrr
ana in his usull graceful intro
ducod Hon. 4. c. Cleveland. The Sage #
White Pine county acknowledged th"
compliments expreSsot.i his behalf ~
M. Folsom and after laying a large roll
OF poetry upon the desk lit in;D The jour
nars speci ! reporter. He ma}o Il teint
with his mouth. Ia 'ded a fAw light taps
with his lower jaw and fiaally struck
him with the full force Of his breath over
the solar plPxus. The reporter did not
come to until Mr.. Cleveland began re-
aiding his poetry which was of a nature
calrulated to wake the dead. In fact it
had the effect of changing the reporters
desire for gore to co:nmiSer4:ion that one
vino posed IS the f1"t0lum Of Home Rule
and wrote poetry such as that should be
at large.
Mr.. Cleveland then paid his respects 10
Senator Stewart, stating that Senator
Stewart was an imheciIa. that he was a
g0ldbug, had ~demonetjzpd silver in 1873
was the most vi'lan0us hypOrrite chat
had ever infested the earth. had never
accomplished anything for the State, had
never voted honestly in his Ii fc. ought to
go t. he'll with Boss Coils. AMI WAS with
ont exception the Judas. .~srariot, Bcue-
diet Arnold and most arch hypocrite,
~scoundrel, traitor and greateSt political
prostitute in this country. The speaker
varied monotonv with some stories and
with veritable cases of clnqnence when
he dwelled upOn the character, public
services and virtues of Hon. A. c. Cleve-
land of White Pine county. That gen
tleman, he thought, possessed qualities
Of craftsmanship which, if they We're
displaved in the Senate of the United
States, would enable him to corral abont
everything lying around loose in the
way of legislation in short orlor.
And then Mr., Cleveland read his
poetry,
It appears that ont Of the classic shades
of White Pine county Mr.. Cleveland has
nursed a tender passion for the Muse
which. hitherto. has exhausted itself in
sonnets addressed to Sweet Spring and
tender couplets concerning Nature and
the Dewey Morn. Bat this is the first
:. occasion it even broke loose in public
Whether it ever will again is a matter OF
, grave doubt.
We submit that a man who would
stand before a cultured audience and read
such p~uerile, silly and disgusting dog
gerel as Hon. A. C. Cleveland read last
night under the guise of poetry written
by himself, is a far more fit candidate f0l
the Asylum for Mental Diseases than fol
the United States Senate
G Following are some extracts from this
n masterpiece:
Senator Stewart wants to be reelected t.
the Senate; he wants to 60 back.
He is growing old and feeble, but Of cheel
and deceit he does not lack.
He will hollar for silver and for Southern
O Pacific and make a noise like a ram.
But for the interest of Nevada he dom
care a damn.
Ia no sense is he a resident of Nevada
o but of the crime of 1873 he is the father
For twenty-five years he has occupied
seat in the United States Senate,
But not a single act in the interest of tn
q people stands to his credit.
In Nevada he never invested a dollar, bu
for the wrongs of the people he Wi
continue to hollar.
We know it is cruel, but such is fate, bu
Stewart, you had better pack you
q carpet sack and leave the State.
Al If you go back to Washington to sta,
don't again fool with a woman VIII

b, l suppose you have all heard ofthe rack
in Washington a few years past,
ID When he got into trouble with one Mr.

Stewart wants to go back. and that is l
lie:
