FOR AND AGAINST THE SILVER
BILL.

The people of Nevada. Independent
of party, are kindly disposed toward
Senator Jones, because of his persistent
advocacy of the passage OF bill to re-
nfonetize silver. To accomplish this
great object he devoted the greater part
Ut his time during the. last four Years,
aud much praise is unanimously con-
ceded him for the able manner in
which he conducted the campaign
against the gold brokers of the East
Ii Is said on the other hand, however,
that Representative Wren opposed the
passage Of the bill and voted against
important amendments to the same. in
every stage OF its progress through the
House OF Representatives.. If such is
the tact. aud we are informed by re
liable authority that il is, will the Re-
PUBLICAN Convention of Nevada stultfy
hself by endorsing Senator Jones for
advocating the passage of the bill. and
at the same time nominate Congress
man Wren for reelection because he
opposed it? Political conventions do
strange things sometimes, and we shall
have 10 wait and see how the ReoubIi.
eans act on this matter.

sod instructiug them to vote for Ger.
tain candidates for Governor without
consulting the Republican voters of
their respective counties. II says it
was very naughty of the Nye committee
TO do this. and instruct the delegates
to cast, their votes for Connor, and it
cemmends the Enterprise for justly and
severely censuring the committee. But
when the Republican Central Commit
eee of Lincoln county quietly met and
appointed five delegates to the State
Convention. four of whom were men,
bers of the Committee. and the fifth
person they could control, aud in
straeted them to vote fer \ X, NJ.

Identical The Record proceeds to
show wherein the cases are not identi-
fed. the difference being that while the
Nye County Committee choose their
delegates from among the Republican
voters outside the COMMITTED, the
Lincoln County Committee took
precious good care to. appoint delegates
from the ring"
The comments of the Enterprise on
the course of these committees are noe
very oreeAtable to its editor, Mr..
Da2gett. When it became known in
Virginia City that the Nye County Com
anitaee had appointed delegates to the
State Convention and instructed them
90 vote for Connor for Governor, the
Enterprise was furious. 1t denounced
the high handed proceeding. and de-
clared that it smacked of sharp practice.
" not downright pertidy and corrup-
ton. The next day it received the
gratifying intelligence that the Lincoln
Committee appointed themselves dele
gates. and Instructed themselves, TO
vote for K. NJ. Daggett for Governor,
snd instead of denouacing the act as
high handed and declaring that it
smacked Of downright pertidy and cor
ruption. 1t actually attempted to Justify
the Committee, aud proved Conclusive
~ to its readers that if the Nye Com.
mittee had instructed the delegates
which it appointed to vote for Daggett
Instead of Conner. the leading kepub.
Hcan paper OF Nevada would have
sanctioned instead of condemned the
act, all of which shows that In the
gubernatorial contest at least, it is
battling for persons instead of prin-
ciples.

The Labor Demonstration fn In
dianapOlis

CHICAGO, August 10.
The Times Indianap oils special says:
The great labor demonstration. with
''the great California agitator" as the
leading attraction, was u ridiculous
failure. There was less than 100 per-
sons in the procession After speeches
by the lesser cumm nnistic lights, Kear-
ney mounted the platform and ex-
ploded with great noise. He recited
portion of the second chapter of St.
James with vicious information. iudi-
cative of an medication to convert his
Bible into bludgeon and send some
of the aforesaid capitalists TO kingdom
come. Here followed a recital in
billingsgate OF the history of the recent
political campaign in California. where
labor was crowned king in the battle
against Democratic robbers and Re-
publican thieves; leprous bondholders
who had apparently lost the iecherous
qualities; piratical thieves and soulless
vampires. assisted by the Bohemian
ghoals employed by the monopolistic
press to distort facts and misrepresent
the WorkiDgmen. The plains of Cali
fornia." said he, "are strewn with the
carcasses of public plunderers. We do
not want nor ask for sympathy. nor do
we want it now. We want liberty. and
liberty We will have, though the mid.
night skies and hell itself over
flows with the corpses of the rob-
bers. The Workingmen here can
accomplish all that We have done
in California by organizing and
pooling the issues. We will first pull
down. and then upon the ruins build
up political party that will once more
raise the flag of our country over
land of liberty"
Kearney closed with the expression:
The muttering of thunder is heard in
the air; the leaves of the forest whisper
to us of the desolation approaching,
and when the tornado bursts over the
land. perjured Judges, pirates. cut
throats and bank stock owners will
have tough tfme TO get along on this
side OF the river.

A MURDERER CRIMEs.-The substance OF
the following (from a Vergennes letter to
to New York SUM has heretofore been pub
lished in these columns but in view of the
determined efforts now being made to Sc
cure the immunity of murderer, it NAV be
well enough to reprint it The stealing of
a druggists satchel. containing money,
which he had Just set down in his own
home, was Phar's first crime. This was
followed by several attempts to kill leading
citizens. for most OF which he was arrested,
but always escaped punishment On one
occasion he was arrested for sliding plank
from the top of a high building near the
road, intending to hit the head of res
taurant keeper as he was passing by in
