1t looks easy to throw ball over
the big flag staff. but dozen or more
men tried it yesterday and failed.
One or two hardly got the ball over
the first guy ropes. ..
No Delegations came in a body and
so the flags were not claimed. 81"
A bout dozen men in lola did work

THE GREAT DAY.

MUSIC AND ORATORY.
Fun and Frolic, Noise and
Merriment, and no Dis

EVERYBODY SENT HOME HAPPY.

There couldn't have been q better
day II the Executive Committee had
made 1t to order. Clear aud calm
and cool. And there was never
better crowd gathered anywhere un-
der the shining sun. Well dressed,
orderly, good natured, courteous,
sober. This writer did not see
drunk man, nor hear rude or an
.angry word, nor even hear of mis-
hap or an accident. There were
three extra policemen Ito handle

pie get their teams out of the grove.
The crowd had no more use for police
men as policemen than if they had
all been spirits. 1t simply took care
of itself in the good cid American
way, ate, drank and was merry,
listened to the music and the
speeches, swung in the merry-go-
round and watched the funny
races, cheered the war news and
the fire works, and went home
tired but happy.
THE FLAG RAISING.
The program began At 10 O'clock
in the public square with fiue
patriotic address by Mr.. G.. A. Saw
age. Mr.. savage has been here but
n few months and this was his first
appearance before ali lola audience
as a public speaker. That the i'm
preston made was decidedly favor
able was clear from the close atten-
.ti0n that was given him and from
the many dattering comments heard
since. 1t was well thought. WE'LL
worded aud well delivered address.
AT its close the splendid flag was
sent 10 the top of the staff while all
the people. Ied by the band and the I
~chorus, sang Rally Round the /
Flag" and gave three rousing cheers. |
Then followed a most attractive pro- |
gram by the little folks under the /
direction Of the W. e. 4. t., showing |
most careful training. The ladies
and gentlemen who drilled the chill |
ID rem and decorated their floats GER
taiuly deserve credit for one of the
prettiest features Of the days pro-
grana.

We condemn - traitorous conduct OF thoea
officials, wherever responsibility may rest to
whose culpability Is due the death by starva-
ton and disease OF seve al thousand of our
men, We demand that the awful scandals in
volved in the conduct Of the war be impa tally
and completely investigated, and that adequate
punishment be Ineted wherever due.
The people OF Nevada are Justly proud Of
their University. We commend the ethcient
management which has made It an institution
Of infinite STIFFNESS and widening possibilities
Its influence Is already felt q potent factor
for the intellectual and economic development
OF the State. We pledge to it generous sup
port and hearty CO operation along every line
shat will tend to maintain its present high stan
lard. or conducD to its improvement.
This convention pledges its nominee for Gov
crnor TINT he wi approve OF such legislation
as will carry into effect the sixth sec
ton Of Article 10 Of the State Con-
stitution which provides that the Leg
islature shall provide special tax which
shall not exceed two mills the dollar
Of all taxable property in the State in addition
to the other means provided for the SUPP ort
and maintenance OF the State University and
common schools. This convention recon-
mends all county conventions of the Silver
party to pledge their nominees for the State
Legislature to carry into effect the State Con-
stitution by passing a bill levying a tax of one
mill on the dollar OF all taxable property in this
State in addition to the other means now pro-
vided by law for the support and maintenance
of the State University and common schools of
this State.
We invite comparison of the four years dur
ing which the Silver Party has been In control
of the State Government with the last four
years of the Republican regime. The expen-
ses or the last Republican Legislature amounted
to S5l.0D, that Of the last Silver Party Lcgi IL
ture, S2o,50O. The expenses of the Executive
Department for the IL t year Immediately pre-
ceding Silver Parry control amounted to
over S3S,50O, willie but S2G.5O were tn. expen-
ses OF the Executive Department for 1897. For
the last four years of Republican management
SSOOO were expended in public buildings as
against S9I CO.. by the Silver Party. And dur
ing the periods i'll comparison in support Of the
public hools of the State, the Silver Party
exp nded ST., 900 against 81 6 500 by the Re-
publican party. No one can examine tho foro.
going and many other facts and fl lures which
might bc adduced. without the result g con
victlon that the Silver Party has fulfilled its
promise of retrcnchment with reference to SAL
aries of State officials and tho curtailment of
unnecessary expenses, while ON the other
han !, it has generously fost rcd the educa-
honal and charitable institutions OF the State
and wisely contributed to its public improve.

Our Popular Congressman.

Mr.. o. o. Steady, the veteran cor
respondent Of the Courier-Journal,h has
the following highly complimentary
notice of the representative of the
Seventh district:
I'm the contested election case of
Aldrich against Plowman, Evan Settle
made speech, or rather two speeches,
for he spoke both days the case was
considered, that attracted a great deal
of attention. Even the republicans
gave him generous applause and many
OF them were OStentatiOus in manifest
ing their admiration. Nearly every re-
publican leader congratulated him and
some of them said that if the repu oil
can members of thu committee had not
been solid, Plowman would have re-
tanned his seat Even Hepburn refused
to go with his party and several others
followed his example and refused to
vote, though not paired. There is no
doubt tha5 these were influenced by
Settle IS speech. 1t was during the ex-
ira session that Settle won his spurs.
When the House adjourned on that oc-
castor Reed met Walter Evans in the
lobby md wante| to k. ~'~ &c Kentucky
produced nothing but OF 80. Not in
the Bluegrass answered Evans. Settle
will never have any trouble getting a
hearing in the House. Aside from the
fact that he is capital speaker, he is
as well liked as any man on the floor"
