NEWLANDS' TALK.


Thursday last was in all probability
the best that could be made in the
interest of bad cause and a worse
object. While he is not an orator
his augmentation was married by a
lengthy wrestle with oratorical
themes ranging from l776 to 1858 ;
the commentator of the Republican
party and laudation of Abraham
Lincoln, through slavery, the war
and all-all this to lead up to the
charge that the the Republican party
is responsible for the destruction of
silver values in 1873. In Nevada,
where this question has been
threshed out until completely bereft
of all chaff, there was not one of his
auditors but who knew that no par
ticular party was responsible for that
crime. The insinuation that Repub-
lican leaders as a class have further
designs against the use of silver as
money would force a derisive smile
from Grover Cleveland or even howl
from Bryan, both OF whom know
better.
Toward President Roosevelt Mr..
Newlands evinced a gracious mag
nanimity quite refreshing, even if the
man who was made president at
the hands of an assassin really had
but little to do with the passage of
the Newlands irrigation bill. But
his assistance in the matter was &C
cepted of course, aud thereafter
whenever Mr.. Roosevelt wanted any
thing from Congress he got it from
the Democrats,
One of the most elaborate periods
of the address was an eulogy upon
the incompatible Clarence d. Van
Duzer, who while private secretary
to Mr.. Newlands gained more knowl-
edge of Washington ways in week
than Mr. Harrington could obtain in
four years. In such capacity it
would not be surprising if Mr. Van
Duzer did learn some things, of which
the Republican candidate for con
gress would never have occasion to
know in four hundred years. But
Tonopah would like to have the Fusion
aspirant for the United States sen
atorship return and file an affidavit
or any old voucher in support of his
bald assertion that the aforesaid Van
was born in Nevada and was of
Nye county. Without further sub
sanitation the people will ever en-
dure the unrest of mortal doubt.
Reverting to state and county
affairs Mr., Newlands had found to
his dismay that the three great
mining counties of Eureka, Esmer-
aida and Nye were actually divided
upon the paramount issue of the ele-
walton of Newlands, inasmuch as the
Silverites and Democrats therein had
failed to Join forces as to legislative
nominations. Toward "a remedy of
this state OF affairs, the speaker APP
pealed to the Democracy, to the
organized unions, to laborers and all
to get the Nye county candidates for
the assembly together and have one
or the other fired out of the contest |
In his pathetic plea for immediate
action along this line the speaker did |
not impart to his hearers the cogent
reasoning to be pursued, nor the
subtle Sharon estate arguments to |
be employed Although the with
drawal Of the Republican nominee at
the same time was not insisted upon. |
il would never do for him. Mr.. Sin
clair, to represent Nyc county in the
assembly because Mr. Sinclair was
once a Silver man in Esmeralda |
county. In this connection Mr.. Cole,
the Democratic nominee, was later
called to the platform and announced
to the audience that while he was as
yet unprepared to say whether it
would be himself or Mr. McCabe who
would remain in the field, in the near
future there would be but one candi-
date instead of two To oppose Mr.
Sinclair
As the mountain would not APP
proach Mohammed at command, Mo
BANNED proceeded to the mountain.
For similar reasons Mr.. Newlands
came to Nye, because the latter has
no intention of going to him. 1t is
safe to assume that the prime object
Of his visit, to secure the removal of
either one or the other Of the regu-
larly nominated candidates for the
legislature. will be accomplished
else, dependent upon the men, the
situation will be illumed by some sen
sational features. Any arrangement
or disposal of the remainder of the
several anti Republican county tick
cts does not concern Mr. Newland' 5
self proclaimed ambition to serve the
working man and in future ablure the
acquisition Of unsatisfying wealth.
