at o'clock. and 1t was not until a few
minutes before the meeting Of the CON
vention on Saturday morning that the
point was agreed to. Then, bowing to
the will OF the Republican party, as
expressed by nearly the unanimous
wish OF the delegates In attendance up.
on the convention, Mr.. Cleveland 8
friends gave way and consented to al
low his name to be placed before the
convention.
This action cleared the way for the
convention and the rest was easy
Mr.. Cleveland never gave his consent
to become a candidate for Governor
although every pressure was brought to
bear to force him to yield, but when his
name was presented to the convention
on Saturday morning 1t was met with
storm OF applause that fairly shook
the Opera House. The nomination
was made by reclamation, every dele
gate joining In the voclferous Yea"
that made A. G. Cleveland the leader
of the Republican party in Nevada.
Calls for cleveland y followed and as
that gentleman made his way to the
platform he was given an ovation such
as no man ever before received in po-
litical gathering 10 this State.
The candidate was visibly affected as
he began to speak, but quickly recov-
cred himself and delivered character
istic speech. He protested that he had
not been In any sense a cand idate for
the office, but he realizsd At that time
that he must choose between sacrificing
his party and sacrificing his own incln-
ations and be chose the latter He
p iid high compliment to his opponent
on the Democratic ticket, and finally
accepted the nomination In the spirit
10 which 1t had been rendered, prom
ising tnat he would make vigorous
campaign and do everything 10 his
power to carry the party to victory on
the fourth OF November
And here we desire to make state
meut that will be recorded in the po
litical history of this State. The Re-
publicans owe to A. G. Cleseland debt
of gratitude that will never b. srep,id
until he takes his seat In the United
states Senate During the next two
years no other mans than thts OF A
C Cleveland shall be mentioned "a the
successor OF w. NJ. Stewart. No man
" no attended the Reno convention last
week or who by his presence and ad-
vice participated in the party deliber-
ations can raise his voice in advocat-
ing the claims of any other man for
that position without branding himself
a traitor and calling down upon himself
the scorn and contempt of all those who
stood for Republican principles at Reno
last week.
With A. c. Clev eNand named as the
candidate for Governor, the nomina-
tion OF E. S. Harrington for Congress
followed as a matter OF course. bis
name, also, was placed upon the ticket
by accamition, and when he appeared
upon the platform he was given
reception OF which any man might well
be proud. He made an eloquent
speech Of accsptancs, outlining the
policies of the Republican party, and
the issues involved in the present cam
paign; paid high compliment to
the candidate for Governor, and stated
that with Mr.. Cleveland on the ticket,
he had no fear as to the result OF the
election.
Mr.. harrington was the Republican
candidate two years ago for the same
Office against F. G. Newlands. It was
ecognized that he was leading for
lorn hope, and yet, with the craze for
Bryan and the power OF Mr.. Newlands
money.bags against him, he succeeded
in reducing that gentleman's majority
of two years before by more than hfty
per cent. This year the change In
public sentiment will amount to what is
termed a political landslide, and the
s'Fusion' ticket In Nevada, with its
trailers OF corruption, deceit and hy-
pocrisy, will be buried beneath al
avalanche OF Republican ballots on the
fourth Of November. Cleveland aud
Harrington are sure winners.
Frank J. Button OF humboldt and
E. d. Vanderleith OF Ormsby were
tten named for Lieut.. Governor. They
were invited to take the platform in
order that the delegates might have
an opportunity to compare them, and
Mr.. Vanderleith made a hit by deliver
ing neat little speech, announcing
his withdrawal from the contest in
favor of Mr.. Button. Mr.. Wander
leith's stock jumped up 100 per cert
