The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1882-10-06

Secretary of the New York Civil Ser
vice Reform Association, says: Mr..
Folger's ability and character are not
in question, but his nomination is. His
nomination was procured by conf
bined power of fraud and patronage,
and to support it at the polls would be
to acquiesce in fraud and patronage as
legitimate forces in nominating con-
vention. Every good citizen is bound
to resist to the utmost such wrong to
free institutions, and the only effectual
way in which voters can emancipate
themselves from the corrupt and de-
basing rule of the machine is to defeat
its candidate. / believe this will be
done decisively by the Republicans of
New York and Pennsylvania this Fall.
They prefer to see their party defeated
rather than see fraud and the corrup-
ton of patronage triumphant. Events
in both States show that no graver po-
litical peril now confronts the party than
INSCRIPTIONS cabals, which bride with
public employment, and pay their way
by filching from the public treasury.
This is an evil which will end in vio-
lence, unless conclusively rebuked by
the people at the polls.
Professor Tolden has submitted to
District Attorney Corkhill his report of
the chemical examination, just conclud-
ed, of the poisoned bouquet given to
Guiteau by his sister, Mrs. Scoville. the
day before his execution. The report
says large bud of a half opened flower
contained over five grains of white
arsenic, not only sufficient to cause
death had it been swallowed, but so
largely in excess of fatal dose that
the intent of the person who prepared
the flowers would have been defeated
by an emetic. The original amount Of
arsenic was greater than that found, as
the petals failed to retain in dry state
some which adhered to them when
moist. Corkhill says he is trying to
discover who poisoned the flowers, and,
if found, the culprit will be held to
answer.
A dispatch from Jefferson City. No..
says: Governor Crittenden received a
letter from Frank James offering to
surrender if amnesty was grant
ed him. The Governor recommend
ed him to surrender and take chances
in Court, but would make no
definite promise regarding pardon.
James in reply surrendered and held a
reception at the Mccarthy House last
evening. He will 60 to Kansas City
to-day and have hearing.
A special from Cleveland says: A
prominent Ohio politician, who has been
spending week in Columbus, has re-
turned home, satisfied that the State
will certainly 60 Republican by from
5000 to 10000 majority. In this esti-
mate allowance is made for CINCINNATI
going Democratic by from 5000 to
5000, and the election of one candidate
for Congress and perhaps both, al.
though Butterworth has a fighting
chance.
A special from Wilcox says: Gen.
eral Crook and staff have gone to Camp
Price, located in the south end OF the
Chericahua Mountains. Reports from
the line say that a band of Indians
which are in that section attacked Fer
anoho Rancho on Sunday at daylight,
killed two men and drove off most of
the stock. They numbered about 40.
The Dublin police believe the mur-
derers of Lord Frederick Cavandish and
Secretary Burke numbered ten, and are
still in Ireland. but that unless an aid
informer can be secured the crime can
not be brought home to the guilty
persons. The weapon used in the COM
mission Of the murders was found some
weeks ago.
The New York Times and Tribune,
as well as the Post, continue opposed
to the candidacy of Folger, and predict
