A Hot Old Time.

The state Central Committee Of
the Silver party had hot old meet
ing in Carson yesterday. As coon as
the meeting was called to order VIM.
Thompson Of Washoe introduced the
following resolutions:
Whereas, w. E. Sharon, Chairman
OF the Silver party State Central
Committee, is now laboring to defeat
the express will of the Silver party in
its platform declaration for the re
election Of VIM. M. Stewart to the
United States Senate, and whereas,
said w. E. Sharon can TO longer hon.
orably hold said Office, therefore be
it
Resolved, That said w. E. Sharon
DO requested at once to tender his
resignation as Chairman of the Silver
party State Central Committee.
When the resolution was read Shar-
d, the Chairman, took the floor and
vigorously denounced it ON the
ground that it was foreign 10 the call
OF the meeting and insisted that the
Gubernatorial matter be first con-
sldered.
This was considered the correct
thing and on motion OF the Governor
the resolution was tabled. The Cover
nor then made a vigorous talk re-
garding the support OF the Committee
and charged that there had been
treason in the camp and that he had
been compelled to bear the Burdens
Of the campaign.
Senator Livingston said it took
money to make such a contest and
subscribed $50. The Governor said
he did not ask financial aid, only
moral support and he was allowed, by
resolution. to name a committee OF
one man from each county to aid in
his contest.
As 5000 as this mat ter was disposed
OF Senator Thompson's resolution WAS
taken from the table by vote ol %
to 10. The discussion waved warm
'nd after long debate the point was
maize that on 30 serious a matter men
ehould not vote until they were in
structed This seemed the proper
thing to do and a motion was made
to meet in one week at the same place
and give the mem bers Of the commit
tee time tn instruct their proxies and
also to publish call in the papers
stating that the object OF the next
meeting was to see whether or not

Will Arrive Home Wednesday, November Sth
Plans have been made and perfected
for the reception of our brave boys
who have been unfolding the dignity
of our country, defending her laws
and adding new honors to our flag in
the Philippines. They will arrive in
Audubon Wednesday morning. No
vember Sth, at which time all the
patriotic citizens are urged to be pres
ent to give them, and all of the soldier
boys who participated in the Spanish
war, a royal and befitting reception.
1t is not an event in which Audubon
alone can participate. 1t is an affair
of the whole county. These members
of the 5lst Iowa are the legal repre-
sentatives of the great commonwealth
of Iowa, and as such they have done
honor to the state and Justly earned a
betitting tribute. Yet it is not simply
to do honor to the boys, but to serve
as an Incentive to the young and ris-
ing generation to defend our country's
principles, honor, laws and institu-
tions in time to come. Such gather
ings as these are prolific with seeds of
patriotism. 1t creates sentiment and
sentiment is the essence of patriotism,
the rock upon which this republic is
founded; the cement that keeps in
place the granite block of government
tai power, or the destructive agency
whose explosion heaps in ruins their
scattered fragments. 1t binds together
in holy bonds of brotherhood the wild
ening chasm of political estrange-
ments and places upon the brow of
public welfare the laurel wreath OF
public virtue. 1t snatches corruption
from the iron fangs of intrigue, chang
es it to fidelity and puts it upon the
altar of loyalty to our country.
This gathering will teach the young

the breathless struggle for self-preserv-
alton, pauses to preserve the sacred
rights of state; will open their eyes to
the majesty of the ship of state in
time of trouble, and be bound to her
by the everlasting ties of hero wor-
ship, aye it will rend asunder to
their yet unawakened manhood and
womanhood, the mystic veil of future
obi cations, future duties, future OPP
portunities; will forge upon the anvil
of truth, made known by the eye of
recent events, an endless chain in
which each link represents truth, hon
or, patriotism, love of country, love of
home. A day never to be forgotten,
milestone in the life of everyone pres
ent; an idea conceived in love OF the
flag and borne in her triumphal de-
tense, so that if ever the voice of des-
tiny calls upon this, the greatest re-
public ever formed by laws of man,
her loyal sons, cheered on by her more
loyal daughters, will go forth and in
the early dawn of the impending cri-

to their homes as these brave warriors,
wearing the crown Of u service we'll
performed, and midst the plaudits of a
grateful nation.

nobler and grander principles of true
manhood, be with us on this occasion

Come and let your voice mingle with
the shout of the vast multitude and
blend in harmony with the ringing
bells, the screaming whistles, the roll
of cannon and the roar of musketry,
while ten thousand flags with their
galaxy of stars and stripes wave well
come and salute each passer by, and
let us trust that our government will
be perpetuated so that our flag will
ever wave over the motionless bodies
of those who sleep with lips silent and
bofoms cold in our new possessions far
across the billoway waves of the proud
Pacific.
The program will be given as previ-

part have made such preparation as
will make the day profitable and inter
