of silver.

Washington, 27.-It will be the policy
of some republican members OF the ap-
preparations committee to cut down
every estimate 20 the lowest point and
give tie democrats enough of retrench-
ment. There will be strenuous opposi-
ton to the $4,000, 900 appropriation for
the completion of monitors, in fact, they
they propose to reduce the appropriations
go low that it will be impossible for the
democrats 10 retrench, as they did for
four years without Gripping the govern
ment; also to remove internal revenue
tsx from tobacco, lesving it only on
Whiskey; enact broad, simple civil ser.
vice statute, and attach stringent penal
ties TO TIE assess meDt plan; allow demo-
Gratis TO confuse themselves with tariff,
settle the electoral count question. finally
and adjourn.
Four or five days SGD the treasury Off
Gals predicted that in ten days the for
eign exchange would be down to such q
price SO would insure the importstiens OF
gold. This point has already been
reached, exchange being quoted at 81.
It is anticipated, therefore, that within
week shipments Of gold will be msde for
this country from England and France.
The flow of gold is expected to last
through December, since our fall impor-
tstions are over and spring buying abroad
will Eot begin until January. Meantime
sales of cottOn sndAmericSn meats will De
quite large, and there being importstions
by merchants to effect these shipments,
the balance will come in good.
The price of silver within the past week
had declined Is, equivalent to little over
l cent per ounce. This is accounted for
by the treasury officials, chiefly on the
ground that consol bills are being drawn
in London, which, having the effect of
cutting off the shipment to India, glutted
the London market, This is the lmme-
diste cause, which is supported by the
increased output Of toe Mexican mines,
and stimulated by the removal of the 20
per cent. export dnty. Treasury fficials
are inclined to the opinion that silver
will have downward tendency from tn
time forward, unless interrupted by leg
islation or some unprecedented suspan-
sion of mining.
The comptroller of the currency, to-
day, authorized the Champaign National
Bank, Champsigne, Ill, to commence
business, with q capital of $4,000.
The exchange of 81 per cent. CONT
mental bonds into 8 per cent, to date,
amounts in the aggregate. to $3.50, 1874, $50.
1t is estimated that the reduction of
the public debt for November, will reach
$4,000, 1000.
The hearing of the case of Dickson.
star route juror, is fixed for Tuesday.
The House appropriations completed
the Indian appropriation bill, reducing
the total expense 10 $67, coo, but increas-
ing the educ alton fund.
The president has appointed VIM. Fl.

Bill Nye's Experience.

1t begins to look now as though
Major F. G. Wilson, who stopped
here ashort time last week and week
before, might be a gentleman in dis
gulse. He has done several things
since he left here that look to man
up tree like something irregular
and peculiar. The MAJOR has not
only prevaricated, but he has done
so in such way as to beat his
friends and make them yearn for
his person in order that they may
kick him over into the inky night
OF space. He has presented him
self as confidential adviser and liter
airy tourist of several prominent
New York, Chicago, Omaha and
Tie Siding dailies, and had such
good documents to show in proof of
his Identity in that capacity that he
has received many Courtesies which,
as an ordinary American dead beat,
he might have experienced difficulty
in securing.
When last seen he was headed
west and will probably strike Eu-
reka, Nevada, in a week or two.
His mission seems to be to make
people feel a goneness in their ex-
chequer. and to distribute tobacco
dados oyer the Office stoves of our
great land. He is a man who writes
long letters to the New York Herald
that are never printed. His freshly
brown nose is red, but his newspa-
per articles are not. Such men as
Major Wilson make us suspicious of
humanity, and very likely the next
man that comes along here, and
represents that he is great man
and wants to borrow So on his we'll
rounded figure and fair fame will
have to be identified. We have
helped forty or fifty such men to
make a bridal tour of Wyoming,
and now we are going to saw off
andquit. When a great journalist
comes into this Office again with an
internal revenue tax on his breath,
and $40 back on his baggage,we will
probably pick up aifty pound chunk
Of North Park quartz and spread
his intellectual faculties around this
building till it looks like the Custer
massacre.-LGramie Boomerang.i

ResOired, That this Convention
pledges its nominees to a rigid

business men of Ormsby county.
Resolred, That the suspicious
attitude of the Democracy upon
the question Of public schools

proval Of all people, irrespective
of party, who are interested in
popular education.
Resolred, That the nominees
Of this Convention on the Legis-

freight landed in Reno is

We declare our fidelity to it.
principles as expressed in tht
| Chicago platform of 1850, anl a:
further embodied il It's grea'
history from its organization tt
the present time.
ResOlrea, That in the tragic
death of President Garfield oul
country has suffered a deplorable
loss, and the Republican party
mourns for one who consecrated
noble and heroic life to the
vindication Of its great purposes.
Resoired, That we have faith
in the prudent and sagacious
administration of President
Arthur and believe it will result
in promoting the best interests
of the country.
Resolved, That the presence
in our midst Of Il servile race OF
aliens, incapable of assimiiating
with our institutions is a per-
petual menace to all classes of
society. The relief extended
to our people by the passage of
a law excluding the Chinese by
a Republican Congress and ap-
proved by a Republican Presi-
dent is a genuine cause of salts
faction. We are in favor of
strenuously enforcing the pro-
visions Of said law, and we
pledge the Republican party to
labor now and hencefOrth to
secure such farther legislation
as will permanently exclude the
Chinese.
Resolved, That We recognize
the paramount Importance of
maintaining unimpaired the
free public school system Of the
State. We shall defend it against
sectarian, political or other i'm
proper influences, and we favor
such additional legislation as the
condition and wants Of the COM
mon schools Of the State may
require. AS free institutions
they should be so conducted as
to satisfy poor and rich alike.
and upon this principle we urge
the adoption OF some system by
which this State shall furnish
the text books at the lowest pos
sibIe figure.
.Resolrel, That owing to the
position OF Nevada from
the seahOard and the entire alb
sence of navigable waters and
competing lines of railroads to
and from commercial centers,
we demand from Congress such
and effective !egis-
lation as will place our people on
