dates for the Legislature should try
by all means to be elected in order
to chose John Sparks United States |
Senator. He told of the homer and |
honesty of John Sparks and how he !
s man CT the people, absolutely !
free and under no crontrol whatever,
while George S. Nixon is the state
agent for the c. P. R. R. Co., and Is
in sympathy with, and under the con-
troll of that company having left the |,
! Silver party in order to get the NOM |
| ination for Senator from the Repub.i- !
can.. ....... /,
The speaker referred to the unequal |
ed success of Hon c. D. Van Duzer as !
new and young member of Congress;
how, from his very advent into that
| BODY, he gained the respect and admir-
alton of all members, and had been
untiring in his efforts for the benefit
of Nevada and the country at large
Of the Presidential candidates he
! said both were good honest men. He
said that when Roosevelt became Pres.
| dent he gained his admiration and
that he thought as a leader of the
Republican party We would have y
second Abraham Lincoln; but now,
instead of being the leader of the par
ty, the party leads the President ami
% such an extent that our Republic,
the greatest on earth, is. under Repub-
lican rule, rapidly assuming the fea-
lures of an Empire. He spoke of Mr.
Roosevelt as a fighter, believing in
large standing armies and navies, ami
by acquiring territory by force, as in
the Panama case, where, without the
authority Of Congress, he acquired con-
cessions from a weak Republic by q
declaration Of war. rather than pay
the price asked for the desired right
CT way OF the canal. He told also,
how, although claiming to be against
the trusts, combinations and monopo-
les, his every act has been in their
favor.
He praised the simple. honest,
2trai ght-fOrward acts of Judge Parker;
under no control whatever; interested
n business undertakings Of any mag
rftude; Justice of the Court of Appeals
Of New York and farmer, living on
his farm and making that his business
Mr. Newlands said the silver ques-
ton was not dead, and that it is only
a matter of time when there will be
another panic and the silver cause will
be before the people greater than
ever before, ana the Democratic par
will champion the cause when the
time arrives
GOVERNOR SPARKS.
The real ovation of the evening
came when Governor Sparks was intro
duced. 1t was several minutes before
he could open his talk as the people
cheered him to the echo. When the
, Governor did restore order he made
j., a short talk, but it was the most eff
o fective speech OF its length yet given
in this OF any other campaign.
In the first place the Governor stat
, born Democr<t, and he believed in
}. the policies and principles of the party
n AS for the newspaper talk that ne
:, did not understand the Constitution
J. he could say that he knew right from
:, wrong and that was more than some
C of the people who had thrown >Cuse
, seemed to know. AS for his standing
with the laboring men he had one
record to show. He had employed
not one, but thousands of men, anj
during his life he had never had any
trouble over the wage scale.
He then directed his attention tc
the Republican newspaper of this cts
wherein he stated that should tht
paper continue to misrepresent hin
and throw any shadow over his per
sonality that he would make it a mar
ter between the editor and himself
That he had not paid one dollar to an.
newspaper to say good or bad thing
about him. He concluded his talk b,
stating that he went into the Senator
ial fight of his own accord and NO
upon the advice of any of the polit
clans of the State.
At the conclusion of his short speecl
the applause was deafening and thu
meeting concluded with three cheer
for the ticket.
