some ones corns, aud it seems as
though / had done that very thing
when giving to the readers of the
SILVER STATE little history of the
new party at the Big Meadows. Well.
SO mote it be. I am now accused by
Laborer of having stated that which is
not true, SO duty calls me again to re.
ply. IN order that Laborer may not inn.
pose on the readers of the SILVER
STATE. who may believe his statements,
not being acquainted with Laborer. the
mouth piecs of the new party. He
says in his statements made January
18th that he must reply to citizen alone,
and that Citizen does not represent a
considerable part Of the people here.
ln reply to that part of bis story, I
will give him a chance to name from
his Secretary's books even bakers
dozen members names outside of
the officers elected, and I will give him
In return two names for one of
American citizens and ranchers that do
not belong to the new party, and could
not, like the most of his members, ar

on Laborer's statement. one Prussian
Sailor, Dutch Fox and a Danish
Goose. The Sailor is now herding
Cinnamon at the new dam; / am told
the Danish Goose stays on rented

pendent of the Reno Journal calls them
the Mollie Maguires, which name seems
very appropriate,
The meeting held in an unoccupied
house! Now, Laborer, that is too thin.
You posted up the notice in the post
Office, and the meeting was held in ac-
| cordance with that notice. Whetl er
the meeting was held in the old or new
house of the man who lost the chickens,
is all the same; it was held.at his house,
but you have SO much labor to perform
that you cannot remember everything,
and then you have been trying to raise
little Cain, and that takes up most of
your time. Had it not been for this
and that. your State Militia Company
that you started last spring could now
be seen marching through the streets of
Lovelock. and you one of Its ring
leaders. That will be the way you will
make yourself felt when election comes.
Better go and get your members natur-
allied and then form your company
and try and get them little civilized.
Oh, Laborer; you are a hero! Your
name will be posted up on election day
on all"the fence boards and sagebrush.
Your militia company will be out in
full uniform. wearing No. 10 boots and
No. 6 hats, with banners flying and
marching to your residence singing the
| old songs. Who's been here since
I've been gone," and Johnny, come
fill up the BOWL and when your
company passes through that Windy
gate on their way, don't get them
Rilsy-d. aud run into the Siiverwoods
and scare the Dutch Fox who May take
after the Danish Goose and chase her
into Harvey's ditch. Unless she could
fly across the Ryan the Cook will surely
get her. and she belongs to Brown Sal
livan, for he will need her ON Section
Six.
Laborer. can you tell me one of your
members in the new party who owns q
barn filled with grain?> Let me say to
you:
| If you must be the new psrty's tool,
Then try and tell the truth little;
Don't show yourself perfect fool,
| Besides being their lickspittle.
1t seems hard for you the truth to tell,
And when you look in Lovelock's glass
