of the judicial equipment. Such a
candidate is in effect bribed in ad

that he may grasp the emoluments

w. A. Burns was credited in the
last issue OF the Tonopah Miner with
having stated at the Democratic
meeting on 18th ult., that when he
visited the Pyramid mine owned by
Norcross Bros. he found the miners
receiving less than ST. for ten hours
work. Careful enquiry through an
absolutely reliable source proves that
the men worked only eight hour
shifts and we're paid the same scale
of wages as prevailed at the mines
owned by Governor Sparks and
others in the vicinity. The state
ment is confirmed by r. II. Norcross,
and can easily be verified, and it is
evident that Burns spoke under a
misapprehension of the actual facts.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

In other columns Of this paper we
refer in detail to the various candi-
dates who are the regular nominees
on the Republican ticket for the sew
eral offices of Nye county, aud we
believe that together and separately
they are exceptionally strong, being
men of good character throughout
their past and in their present who
may be relied upon to carry out eff
GENTLY the duties entrusted to them
for the benefit of the electors OF Ne
vada aud with honor to themselves.
This is about all that is required,
and the men who will do this are the
men who should be elected. Those
on the Republican ticket f~earlessly
ask you to consider their right to be
elected on these grounds, and the
fair and impartial mar having done
so will vote the straight Republican
ticket. This is not only the ripht
thing to do but it is the clear duty Of
everyone who has in his heart the
wish for the welfare OF himself, the
state and the district in which he
lives.

GEORGE $. NIXON.

One OF the most remarkable and
enthusiastic political meetings ever
held 10 the state OF Nevada vas held
on Monday evening last at Reno
when a crowd Of 1900 people was ad-
dressed by Nixon, Yerington, Nor
cross and Judge Massey on the politi-
cal issues OF the day. The speech Of
the evening was made by George 5.
Nixon, who, having entirely reeov-
cred from the fatigue of his campaign
in the country districts, was in splen-
did fettle and spoke with a warmth
and feeling which carrledhis audience
with him in one vast wave of enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Nixon openly met the var
ious charges which have been brought
against him in the public press and
defined clearly and convincingly his
position with the Southern Pacific
railroad. He fearlessly challenged
anyone to show where this corpor-
alton has meddled in politics since
the death OF the late Charley Wal
lace, and defed them to prove that
as agent for the railroad he had at
tempted to influence any person po-
~litically or in any other way; he de-
fined clearly bis own position as a
resident agent required by law, upon
whom legal papers could be served.
The appointment is uhquestionably an
honor and a compliment to the in.
tegrity and standing of any man, es-
pecially one who has worked his way
up from the bottom rung of the lad.

great warmth of feeling to the falst
charges brought against him, tina
he was an enemy OF labor; he told o
