tiOh to Speakers

Reno, Nov. lone of the greatest, IL
not the greatest. political meeting that
ever occurred in the city of Reno was
held last evening at the Grand theater.
Fully 1.20O people were packed into the
theater and for two hours and a haif

intense enthusiasm as they listened to the
! addresses made by Hon. James A. YER
ington. Hon. George s. Nixon, Hon

publican state ticket and Judge W. a.
evening.
1t Is safe to say that from every stanu
point no other poll tical meeting oves held
in Nevada aroused so much stirring and
effective enthusiasm. At one poin-. in the
midst of George s. Nixon's speech when
with dramatic effect he said: "They have
called me an enemy of labor. l soy IL
you that I employ ten times mn un.o-
men at union hours than all the oppos,.
ton nominees and leaders put together
there was storm of applause whicr
reached its climax in three lddan ana
rous' ng cheers.
From start to finish the audience re-
sponded to the strong and .eilins points
made by the speakers. The srsat success
of the meeting Is barometer OF the
to s,fa
as well as the whole countrv. for Tleo-
dore Roosevelt and the party ord it,
nominees which are supporting him.
The meeting was called to or'er by
Judge A. L. Cheney, and in the nrie: ad-
dress which he made at the open ng he
recounted a conversation which he had
had few weeks ago at Carlsbad, ie :
many. with learned Austrian physician
m which the latter was extremely anx-
ious for the success of Judge Parker. be-
cause he knew that his election meant
the reduction of tariffs so that Austrian
manufacturers could find a market In
his country for their manufactured ar
ticles.
After the Roosevelt club quartet hao
sung Lucky Jim." James A. Yerington,
Republican nominee for congress. was In.
troduced. He made an excellent impress
sion on the audience from the start. lie
said in part:
Il do not come before you claiming to
be either statesman or an orator. nor
do | think that I should enter into any
discussion of my qualifications for the
great office for which the Republican
party unsolicited have nominated me.
That nomination came to me as a great
and high compliment when was repre-
senting the state of Nevada as its execu-
tive commissioner at the ST. Louis exro-
sition. thought that If my friends be-
lieve me capable of filing the great
duties which, the election to that office
involved, ] could do no more than to ac.
cept that judgment and to enter this
! do not claim as I stated before. to be
either an orator or a sta esman. but l
do firmly believe that If elected. l can
gain and hold the esrect and esteem or
my associates in congress. and Of the ac-
ministration whose policies ! shall up
hold. and think that there are some
qualifications which may offset in sons
degree the lack of oratorical powers. and
those qualities are honesty. integrity anc
honor"
The clean. clear-cut countenance or
Yerington and his earnest but easy man.
ner of speech made an excellent impress
sion. and he had nothing to be disap-
pointed in In the heartiness of his recep-
tion.
The introduction of George s. Nixon
eral minutes the applause continued,
which caused Mr.. Nixon's countenance TO
beam with appreciation He spoke for
nearly half an hour and every minu,.
was interrupted with applause After re-
viewing the respective parties from the
national standpoint and pointirg out the
significance of Bryans several declara-
tions concerning Judge Parker and his
unfltness for the great office of President.
Mr.. Nixon said:
I'm view of two charges that have
been made against me in this campaign.
both of a serious nature. / propose TO
take you into my confidence and to reply
to them with perhaps more frenkness
than public speakers usually do.
