trict Tuesday night. held their first
rally at Mciili.
Their reception in the smelter city
was of such nature to make all feel
that the campaign, in which, prior
to the arrival of these distinguished
visitors. no considerable amount of
interest had been noticeable, is now
really on.
The different candidates were in
troduced and delivered short but able
talks, making particular reference to
the Offices directly under their con-
troll and showing that the affairs OF
the state CT Nevada have been ef-
ficiently administered at their hands.
The address delivered by Attorney

meeting remarks were frequently
