The News, after the full record of the

oughly exposed, has the nerve to assert

Last evening the Republicans en-
deavored to scare up crowd by send
ing the small boys out with cowbells to
let the people know that Mr.. Chandler
o. Illinois would tell our people how to
vote. He was imported at the expense
of the Republican National Committee
that has trust money to burn. A big
crowd filled the house and Mr.. Chandler
of Illinois told our citizens what grand
things prosperity, Imperialism and a
gold standard are.
He did not explain why the population
of Nevada kad fallen off during the past
ten years nor why our silver mining
camps have lost their population. He
overlooked an explanation as to the
cause of the shutting down of the Carson
Mint. 1t is certain that he gave the peo-
pie spiel from an Illinois standpoint
but did not convince anyone that any
very large volumes of prosperity had
f1oated this way under McKinley's rule
Whenever the speaker, during the
course of his remarks, mentioned the
name of Bryan the audience cheered
