MORE FALSE NOTES.

The Virginia Enterprise, the organ of
eur Senator from California, accuses
the SILVER STATE of persistently abus-
ing Senator. Sharon, whom it says the
people OF the State are enthusiastically
IN favor of for reelection to the Senate.
These are more of the false notes which
the organ plays. The SILVER STATE
does not abuse Senator Sharon, it simply
tells the truth about him. To say that
he is not resident of Nevada; that he
has not represented Nevada, or any
other State, in Congress, during the five
and that he could not get fifty votes,

be owned by Mr.. Sharon, disputes it.
She Republicans of Elko county, in
convention assembled, declared that
they consider the candidacy Of William
Sharon unwise, and an injury to the
Iarty,. and pledged their legislative
nominees, if elected, to use all honor
sble means to defeat him.
Does Mr.. Sharon's organ consider ia
abuse of it's pet candidate to reiterate
these facts? Unless it does, its asser-
tion that the SILVER STATE abuses Mr..
Sharon is inexcusable, and if it does, it
should learn that pointing out the de-
linquencies of Senator is not abuse.
The SILVER STATE has contended and
still contends that William. Sharon has
done nothing as a Senator from Nevada
TO entitle him. to reelection. He is not
an actual resident of the State, ana
even if he were, he has not represented
Il in the Senate. He was attending to
his private affairs in California when
Che Silver and Chinese. bills were be-
fore Congress, and his. organ cannot
point to a word or vote Of his, as Sena-
tor, that indicates chat he favored those
measures. He is now building rail-
road to Bode, almost exclusively with
Chinese labor, circumstance that de-
notes how he would have voted on the
Chinese restriction bill, had he been in
bis seat ia the Senate at the time of its
passage. We have repeatedly asked his
organ to,Stato what William Sharon has
done, as United States Senator, to en-
little him to reelection. Instead of
answering this question, and giving any
reasons for supporting him, except that
il is owned by him, it contents itself
with saying that we persist in abusing
kim, and that the people are enthusi-
astically in favor of his reelection.
The SILVER STATE believes that not

less resident of California, whether
be fe Republican or Democrat, who

State which he claims to, repre-
aent, as Mr.. Sharon has done.
