THAT ELECTIoNEERING DOCU-
MEM.

A week or two ago the Gold Hill
News furnished its subscribers with a
supplement purporting to contain the
substance of an interview between a
correspondent of New York paper
and Senator Window of Minnesota, in
which the latter was made to lie to suit
the views of the reporter. The SILVER
STATE commented on the contents of
the supplement. several copies of which
were received in eastern exchanges, and
pointed to the fact that its statement of
the reduction of expenditures made by
the Forty Fourth Congress differed to
the amount of over $23,00 600 from,
that published officially in the Con-
gressional Record. Notwithstanding
all this, the Reno Jouanal is now send.
ing copies of this document as sup
plemeut to It's subscribers, and proba-
bly, few of those who receive it are
foolish enough to believe what it says.
Ii George Q. Gorham cannot apply the
assessments which he collects from
Federal officials and department clerks
to any better use than furnishing these
supplements to Nevada newspapers,
Hayes ought to enforce that Civil Ser
vice order and save them from being
robbed for useless purpose.

of the quarrel between the Bannocks
and the Piutes after the hostiles were
driven back from Umatiila, she says all
that is known of that affair is what was
told her by squaw who was taken
prisoner. From this squaw she learned
that the Bannocks laid the blame of
the failure of the campaign upon Otis
and his band, who, they claimed, had
mlsled them, in the belief that they
would find allies among the UmatiIlas
and the other Indians The Bannocks
then resolved to leave the Piutes and
return across Snake river to the buffalo
country. as they have since done.
She says that she will remain here
until the present difficulty is settled,
and then she will 60 to Washington TO
see what can be done for those of her
people who may be left.
Sarah thinks that Chief Egan was
badly treated, as she knows that he
persistently refused to join the hos
tiles; that he was kept close prisoner
by them, and compelled to remain with
them against his will.
She also related many other things,
OF which there have already been many
versions given to the public
Sarah is a remarkable looking wo-
man. speaks English fuentiy, and is
quite intelligent and communicative.

CAMPAIGN TACTICS.

Republican papers opposed to Kin
kead's nomination for the Governor
ship, are now adopting the tactics of
the Democratic papers which oppose
Bradley. They charge that in case
John H. Kinkead receives the nomina-
ton. l.. r. Bradley will be withdrawn
from the contest. AS it is generally
believed by the people that Bradley
cannot be beaten if he receives the
nomination, one would naturally sup.
pose that an arrangement of this kind,
If such had been made, would have
tendency to- strengthen Kinkead's
chances in the Convention, instead of
being used, as it is, for the opposite
purpose. II is evident from the tone
of the majority of Democratic and Re-
publican journals. that they want
bsither Bradley or Kinkead for Gov
ernor, and the object is not 80 much to
elect Democrat or Republican as
such, as to get man whose opinions
can be nodded to suit the rings and
. monopohes of the State. They know
by experience that Governor Bradley is
hot man of that kind, and they have
excellent reasons for believing that J.
ii. Kinsead, in this respect, is very
much like him; hence determined
aud combined effort is made by certain
Republicans and Democrats to defeat
them IN the Conventions.

SARAH WINNEMUCCA.
What the Piute Queen says of the
Late Waa.

What the Piute Queen says of the
Late Was.
A reporter of the Idaho Statesman
interviewed Sarah Winnemucca, who is
now at Boise City, aud gives the fol-
lowing as the substance of her remarks:
'She has visited Fort Boise and at
tempted to interview the Indian pris.
oners now at the Post. She first WIS.,
tied the women, who refused to tell her
anything. and when trying to talk with
the men. one of the squaws interfered
and told the men to say nothing. as
Sarah wonld bs certain to tell every
thing they said to the officers. Sarah
says that she never saw any Of these
prisoners before. and knows nothing
about them. bat thinks they are Sho-
sbones or Weisers
OF the Piutes she says Oitz is the
most guilty. and should be severely
punished, as he was foremost in joining
the Bannocks. and encouraged them
with assurances that they would be
joined by the Umatillas, Warm Spring
and Columbia River Indians. Oitz was
also active 10 raiding the ranches be.
yond the Malheur reservation, and in
gathering in the horses running upon
the range.
The Piutes. she says, were very
nearly without arms or ammunition,
but the Bannocks had extra guns which
they had stolen from the whites, and
furnished such of the Piutes as joined
them. The majority of the Plutes
were unarmed and virtually prisoners
in the hands of the armed hosliles,
from whom they were continually
making efforts to escape. Many of
them did escape, going to McDermit
aud other places. Sarah seems
earnestly in favor of Furnishing Otz
and oil others who were actively en-
gagged in robbing and numbering, and
processes to be anxious to do all in her
power to identify them and bring them
to punishment. She says that she has
positive evidence that Buffalo Horn
was killed at South Mountain by Piute
Joe at the time of the battle 9th the
Silver City volunteers.
