k.pubile.u Rally.

The Republican rally at the court.
house last evening attracted a large
crowd. Edgar Reinhnrt called the meet
ing to order and introduced Mr.. Farriua /.
ton az the first attraction. He occupied
the ring for a few minutes and then
gave way to Simon Bray who wants to
be Treasurer OF the State OF Nevada.
Mr.. Bray made a neat talk, the burden
Of which was that he was a Simon pure
Republican and could not understand
why he had become such a prominent
character in Nevada politics. He said
OF the State Treasury in his possession
for U term he would, like Jacob OF old,
be ready to depart in peace.
w. q. Gayhart, candidate for Survey
or-GeneraI, said he did not come to

rain to fall, the sun to shine, put the
gold and silver in the hill Of Alaska and
Nevada and after a long lapse OF year,
went to york and discovered them
causing the great prosperity the people
now enjoy. Hs grew eloquent about the
