st Fall, Mr.. Kendall did his constit-
uent. the honor to fully explain In
public speeches throughout the State
his votes and position On all questions
Of public interest which had arisen or
were likely to arise, and assured the
electors Of Nevada that he wa against
corruption and trickery In all forms.
We believed Mr.. Kendall sincere. We
trusted In his promises and with many
other Republicans were not sorry to
see him reelected.
Itis customary for Senators and Rep
resentatives In Congress, and, In our
Judgment, eminently proper. when
ever a question has arisen of public
Importance, to explain their vote or
contemplated action to their constit-
uents. This back pay bill has been
criticised By the press Of the whole
Nation. Hardly a Republican or DEM
ocratic Convention has assembled aud
adopted resolutions which did not con-
denim in 10 delicate language what Is
generally recognized as 4 disgraceful
plundering of the public funds. Sew
eral prominent legislators have deemed
the subject VI sufficient Importance to
attempt a justification Of their acts to
their constituents. We have carefully
rcal their explanations aud tind them
very unsatisfactory. In fact. totally so
We have been asked several times whal
reasons do CouyresSmeu give for voting
for thi+ bill We have. thuI tar been
compelled to answer: No legitimat,

of the Democratic party. Thus far;
although We have waited patiently
we have seen no explanation asked
from Nc. Kendall BY Journals OF thai
sect. They all, however, have con
demnetl the salary grab. One or two
Republican, journals have suggested
that explanations were IN order from
our Senator aud Representative. and
we ARE OF the sam mind. We want &c
