Mr.. MeCutchan says, in the Sutro
Dependent this morning. in reference to
the above matter. to which We alluded
yesterday. that there was q gentleman
elected on the list OF delegates at the
Independent meeting last Saturday night
Who was afraid to have his name pub
lishsd," and that he asked DR.. Gsigsr
to take his place OF the list" to which
the Doctor consented; that DR.. Geiger
did not 70 to Carson. and that he Nc
Cutchan) placed the name OF Mr.. sutro
on the list a. DR.. Gsigsr's proxy. with
out his (Sutro's) knowledge; wherefore
ho calls the short article which We wrote
upon the subject yesterday. "a filthy.
lying attack" We are net familiar with
the secret Gins" and "outs" OF that
peculiar esnvocation which met at Car
son City last Wednesday. but simply
refer to the record which has appeared
in Mr.. Sutrs'. organ and the card Of DR..
Gsiger which appeared in the Virginia
Enterprise yesterday. In the former
paper We find. under date Of September
2sth. that d. n. Gsigsr was unanim.
ously elected as q delegate to the indie
pendent State Convention. In the same
paper. date October LIST, We hnd in the
regular report Of proceedings that the
Committee on Credentials reported.
among others. the following q entitled
TO q seat in the Convention, from Storey
county. viz: d. NJ. Geigsr "a sutro,
proxy. The same appears in the rsgu-
lar report furnished tho Enterprise. II
therefore appears that Mr.. sutro was de-
clared by the Committee on Credentials
irregular delegate (by proxy from Storey
county. Mr.. McCutchan says that the
Storey county delegation reversed his
(MeCutchan's) action in placing MIR.
Sutro on the list Of their delegates.
This must have BEEN after the committee
on credentials made their report and AZ
ter Mr.. Sstro entered the convention,
for otherwise his name could not have
been submitted and passed upon by the
convention as was done. according 70
the public report Of proceedings therein.
Mr.. Sutro, therefore, was . delegate to
said convention. Az to the manner in
which he used the vote thus peculiarly
obtained or whether he used II at all, We
have neither information nor interest.
Mr.. Sutro was thsre AZ . delegate, and
the statement that we published a lie in
so stating yesterday, falls to the ground.
We do not presume to disbslisvs Mr.
McCutchan's assertion that Mr.. Sutro
was offered several proxies" There
seems to have been a surplus Of these
in the convention. NeIt-and rs final
proof Of the unvenviabls position Mr..
sutro occupies in reference to this mat
tsr-comss the published card Of DR..
Gsiger. wherein be says: 81 did not
authorize A. sutro to act for me whom
he got into that convention a.
nay proxy; he did II without my
knowledge or consent, and must have
been hard up to find ways and
to get into that convention as 4 dele
gate" Here then are the facts. Mr..
Sutro was in that convention rs a dele
gate. He was there under false pre-
lenses. and the gentleman whose proxy
he assumed, in a published card so de-
clarss. Wherefore We said. a. We again
say. that the man who would take a seat
in a convention under such circun-
stances, is guilty OF an act ''neansr
than shsep-stealing."
