Mr.. fremont Of Eureka followed Henley

Mr.. Tremont-It is with q feeling OF
| pleasure that I rise to second the nomina-
| ton of William M. Stewart. II is and
| should be considered an honor by any oit-
| izen when called upon to assist In a nomi-
| nation or TO cast his vote; how much more
| Is 10 when he is called upon TO assist in the
nomination or cast his vote for the high
| office Of United States Senator, the great.
| est and grandest Office within the gift OF
| the people Of . sovereign State. We all
| know the position which Senator Stewart
| has attained on the Silver question, the
paramount question in this State, the
| question before which every other ques-
| tion Is trivial, and II is upon the settle
ment Of the Silver question that the pros
perity Of the State Of Nevada depends, and
the interests Of the people Of the State OF
| Nevada demand they should be represent
ed in the Senate by . man with . COM
handing position on that question.
As evidence Of the position that Mr..
Stewart has obtained II can best be shown
that among his enemies not Q single one
ever brought the charge Of insineefity'
| Even his bitterest enemies In this campaign
have proclaimed that to retire Senator
| Stewart would be q national calamity.
would like TO call atten ton to . remark
made by the leader Of the gold element on
the floor of the Senate. In 1898 when the
repeal Of the Sherman bill was before The
Senate, Senator Hoar in commenting said,
that the only thing that Senator Stewart
had not done for the people Of Nevada on
the Silver question was TO add an amend
msnt to the Lords Prayer, for the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver Of the ratio
Of 1e to /. Fellow citizens, II . member
Of the United States Senate from this State
has left . duty unperformsd. II is but right
that he should be returned In order that
he might fulfill that duty. I have no do
sire 70 be irrslsyant. i hss been said thai
when . member from Eureka took The
floor In this House, that the unanimous
expression Of feeling has always been Chow
long. O Lord, how long r. ! have no do
sire 10 detain you.
Regarding the sentiment Of this State
I would illustrate. A few days before ]
left my home 70 take my position In the
Legislature, I called on the Hon. A. L.
Fitzgerald, our District Judge. Judge
Fitzgerald had been prominently men.
toned in connection with the United
States Senatorship, and In speaking Of the
situation, I called his attention 10 u, and
he said: at would be . high honor
we're I elected to the United States
Senate. 1t is . position TO which any man
might well aspire. But in the interests
OF the Silver cause. in the interests OF the
future prosperity Of the State Of Nevada.
l would decline under any circumstances
to have my name presented a. . candidate.
