The VOte of Thanks TO the Long
Lost Senator.

LOs Senator.
The Virginia Chronicle commenting on
the Endorsement Of Sharon at Austin says:
1.-The Republican party of Nevada through
its State Convention in Austin, on Tues
day last, deliberately and formally de-
prived itself Of the last vestige OF a claim
to respect by adopting a resolution extend
ing the thanks of the party to Mr.. Sharon
for his services as United States Senator
from this State.
The Convention not only refused to re-
quest Mr.. Sharon to resign the office whose
duties he has ~fagrantly neglected, but alb.
solutely had the effrontery to thank him in
set terms for keeping one Of Nevada's seats
in the Senate empty.
The adoption of this resolution simply
means, Of course, that the Republicans Of
Nevada want Mr.. Sharon to buy his empty
seat for a second term. No other construc-
ton can be put upon it, for it would be the
widest sort of absurdity to suppose that
any Republican in Nevada really feels
grateful to Mr.. Sharon for anything he has
done as Senator.
Just a month ago to-day the Chronicle
recommended the Republican State Con-
v%ention, when it met, to adopt the follow
ing resolution:
WHEREAS, Senator Sharon has recovered
from his financial endorsements, and
has now plenty of coin. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That Senator Sharon be, and
he is hereby politely but firmly requested
to disgorge.
The Republican State Convention has
strictly followed the Chronicles advice.
We now congratulate the Republican
party of Nevada on its position before the
country"

COLL A AGAIN.
He VIII Show Up a Bonanza With
out Money and without Price.


Coll Deane still claims that he is able
and willing to show up the bonanzas, the
whereabouts Of which on the Comstoek he
claims to know. In the New York Graphic
Of May 9Th he publishes the following let
ter:
To the Editor Of the Graphic: Among
mining men in this city / find a prevailing
belief that the offer made to me by Mr..
John Mackay last November Of $500, 900,
provided / "found the bonanzas on the
Comstock lode that l talked about" was
allowed to pass %unnoticed by me-. AS a
matter OF fact, the very reverse Of this
was the case, for Immediately upon being
informed of the offer, l wrote to Mr..
Mackay accepting it, with the conditions
imposed upon me of making the required
crosscuts at my own individual expense.
The correspondence which ensued, as sub
s%equently published in the San Francisco
Evening Post, c~onclusively proved that
Mr.. Mackay " would neither grant me nor
any other outside party the invaluable
privilege of prosecuting in the mines un-
der the control of his firm" In view,
however, Of the present deplorable condi-
ton of the Comstock share market, he
might, even at the eleventh hour, be in
duced to reconsider his resolution and per-
NIT me to make the proposed test, as in
the event Of its success "a foregone conclu-
sion) thousands OF hearts, now sorely af-
hicted, would greatly rejoice; while I, also
yielding to humane considerations, will
agree in advance to relinquish my claim to
the half million reward.
Respectfully, Coil DEANE.
