which contained Senat Dr. Doolin's remark
able sspersions on the mass meeting lately
held ct the Opera Blouse. He was de-
nounced in unmeasurt d terms in all quar-
ters, and even his fri ends admitted that it
was . mistake, II he ! I'D uttered the senti-
ments ascribed to lim, but claimed the
dispatch was incor rect. This ground,
however, is untenab' ., as:it is not posi-
BILE that so many Of The leading citizens Of
Virginia City and Storey county would
unite in signing . ! etter unless convinced
Of its correctness. His assumption that
the meeting did rot represent the tax
payers, lead q curit us gentleman to exam
inc the tax rolls, Z nd the interesting fact
was developed that only two Of our delega-
ton at Carson pay taxes Of any kind, and
Mr.. Doolin was NOT: one Of the two. That
he does not reprt sent the wishes Of his
constituents, or any considerable body Of
them In his presen . position, is universally
acknowledged, an threats that be would
never again hold a position within the gift
Of the people Of + lreka were freely made.
As Messrs. Baker. and Baily are chiefly
affected, . repres ,ntative Of the SENTINEL
interviewed those gentlemen yesterday.
Tho result Of thu sc interviews, together
with the opinins II raj other gentle
men, we give belo =:
Mr.. Ri hIy's Blast.
Mr.. Baily, in T, spouse to our interroga-
tory. replied with somc warmth
Yes; / saw the letter published in the
SENTINEL OF this ! corning. from Messrs. J.
C. Hampton and others Of Virginia City.
in which Senator Doolin is represented as
saying that the railroad meeting held
here on the 25th ilt., lin no way repre-
scented the busint IS interests Of Eureka"
and, further, at lat the meeting was run
by two men, nei Their of whom is a tax
| payer" l also noticed the correction
made by Senator Creswell, and feel under
| obligation to him for 1t. / have been and
am now q tax-pa. ter. and have been every
! year since residin Z here. and Mr.. Baker is
| also . taxpayer. Not only so, but a large
| number present a | the meeting were heavy
taxpayers, amor ig whom l may name
| Messrs. Johnson 6adler. Clark, Dunkel,
Kind, Campbell c nd others, whom Senator
Doolin ought 10 o are leading business
| men Of the coul lty he represents. II is
not, therefore. -ue that there were no
taxpayers OF ~ consequence among
| those who took p 1t in that meeting.
Ieporter-You were present at and took
| part in the Court house meeting, did you
not?
Mr.. Baiiy-Yes I was present, by re-
| quest, ut the time when the committee was
| appointed, consist ing of Mesxrs. Richard,
| Scott and myself. TO draft resolutions ex-
| pressive OF the sci se Of this community In
regard to railroad fares and freights, the
resolutions 10 be presented at the meeting
| held on the 25th; ,ut / was not present ut
| the time the col ,mittce was appointed,
having some bus. ness which called me
away before that . tion was taken, and was
| not aware OF II un, II after The meeting ad-
journcd. I draft d the resolutions and
| submitted them to The other members Of
| the committee, who, fully endorsed them,
| although Mr.. RicL ard did not sign the
| report. They were intended to be plain
and unmistakeable, but not extreme; to be
| emphatic, but not vi olent. They were fully
| discussed at the NEE ing, and were adopted
with but one dissen ting voice out VI the
hundreds present. They now are, l be-
| lievc, the sentiments u the citizens OF this
town, taxpayers and all Others who have
given this subject q; ~tention, unless IL be
some very few who a'e pro6ted by high
freights and fares and unjust discrimina-
tons.
Rcp.-Certain pers0I 3 have charged that
| you failed to do your du ~ in respect to tho
railroads when . mem, ser Of the Legisla-
ture. Have you anything 70 say on that
score7
Mr.. Dyes; / saw be article in the
SENTINEL OF the 3lst Of January accusing
Baker and myself Of not doing anything
ct the last Legislature TO , elieve the people
from railroad exactions and discrimina-
tons. This accusation wa ! not true SO far,
at least. rs / am concerned, n as l think
l conclusively showed in a article written
by me, and published in he SENTINEL Of
the 4th instant. In that showed from
the Journal of the House Il ut . resolution
looking to relief was introd need. reported
back from the Committee on Federal Rela-
tons, OF which l was one, w th the recon-
mendation that it pass; that the House re-
fused to engross by . vote Of l3 to 80, but
that three Of that commit De voted and
worked for the resolution, on Q was absent
from illness, and one voted against it. l
further showed in that article that neither
State or county platforms upon which
Baker or myself were elected called for
any action, nor were any met tings held,
nor petitions received asking &C ion on our
part; further. that at that time 1t had not
been decided that a State could sgislate in
such a way as to be effective az sinst rail-
road abuses, but that the opinion prevailed
with the best men that our rel, 81 would
have to come from Congress. All this l
fully explained, more fully tina a l can
now, in the remarks l made at Il at meet-
ing OF the 25th. I then talked I Dr. about
am hour, or nearly so, on this subj ect, and
related how the Central Pacific, through
| kkasr anavt Stava (laCa tried tn n Main IN
this committee Of the House that the rail,
