STANLEY AND DtNA.
The New York .Sm ~ . paper In
itself. amounts to nothing here In Ne
vada. Il Is not taken BY q CITIZEN.

newspaper men. And yet il vislds a
tremendous influence In q midst. In
New York. where 1t 10 printed. nobody

laugh at its opinions because they know
the author OF them; know the motives
which actuate him. and know that the
notion of writing the truth is one which

ions Of the master renegade OF the Re
publican party are copied in flaming let
tiers, by Democratic organs. and they
naturally have some effect upon those
persons who do not know the writer.

fervnt words. Of the second page OF the

this Democratic editor another day be-
hind. That will be hard upon him. bot

House Of Representatives. and say moth
