Judge Fitzgerald Makes a
Most Favorable Impression
on His Audience.

Most FdVorable impression
on His Audience.
There was a regular old ;;sns-p,litical
meeting at the Opera House last evening.
The occasion WAS the appearance OF
Francis G. Newlands aud :;iixa Fitz-
gerald, who were billed :, spe.k on the
issues of the present ca. ;gn. The
street was lit with bonfircs, the Carson
Band furnished the music and the crowd
began to gather long before the time for
the meeting to open.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge Stone, Chairman Of the County
Central Committee, who introduced
Lieutenant-Goverlor Judge, who acted
as Chairman of the meeting. The follow
ing Vice Presidents occupied the stage:
Governor Sadler, Judge Belknap, D. NJ.
Ryan, E. d. Kelley, Richard Kirman,
c. N. Noteware, Andrew Maute, H. r.
Logan, DR.. Harcourt and the county can
didates.
After short speech of introduction
the Chairman presented the Glee Club,
who gave some lively campaign songs,
after which Judge Fitzgerald was pre-
scented to the audience.
He made short talk, and, although it
was of non-political nature, he i'm
pressed the big audience most favorably.
1t is easy to understand why Judge Fitz-
gerald is the great favorite he is in his
| own county, and it is safe to say that he
will have neat majority by his few but
| well chosen remarks.
Chairman Judge then introduced Con-
gresham Newlands and he was greeted
with applause.
| He began by saying that he was pleased
to meet the people Of Carson. He was
again before the people as a candidate
| for Congress as the nominee Of two con-
ventions, representing the Democratic
and Silver sentiment Of the State. He
had received the unanimous endorse
ment of both conventions and had been
commended for his course two years ago
in Opposing the reelection of Senator
Stewart. The resolutions adopted by
the Silver party State committee con-
demning his course then had been ex-
plunged from the record by the Silver
party State convention. He has been
the Congressional candidate Of the Silver
forces four times and was before the peo-
pie for the fifth and last time as a candi-
date for Congress, as he intended to be a
candidate for L. S. Senator two years
hence. He would fall short of his duty
and be an migrate if he did not answer to
Al l. L. "a ~
cient legislation. In his previous cam
paigns he had not dealt in personalities
but his present opponent had attacke ed
him and it became necessary for him tt
reply to the charges. Mr.. Harrington
had charged him with being a million
aire nonresident, with insincerity OH tn,
silver question, with being absent from
his post Of duty and claiming credit du'
to others for the Hawaiian resolution.
Mr.. Newlands went into an exhaustive
e denial of each of these charges. In re
I gard to the first he stated that he wa
+ not millionaire, though he had mod
est fortune. He could live life Of idle
ness if he chose, but preferred leading al
active. useful life. He left Californi
