~:
| Senator Fair wrote two letters de
clining 10 be candidate for the Ne
vada Senat.rship. One was ad
dressed t" Mr.. Garrard. Supcrin-
tendent Of the Carson Mint, and
the other to Gen. h. p. Heating
| Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee. Thelatter was
more formal in us character than
the former. Both should have
been promptly given tn the public
1t Is the duty IF men aud parties
t., ras. the whole people int, their
confidence. Cunrealmnnts are like
in,inccre aud silly. TIE writer Of
this paragraph protested strongly
against secrecy. Tie State Central
tnmin tie made grave mistake
An aule leader once said that a

, The Democratic Cnnruitt. sermed
| 10 es.t-rt in the idea that doubt as
to Fairs candidature woul! bring
strength III the ticket. As "A mat
ter of fact the people Of the State
did not WI, Fair. M Republican
wart d him, and great maimi'y
ut Democrats Were opnnscd t. him
at ANY price. He WAS r. rard"d
everywhere as being as much Of a
non resident and carpet Dagger as
Stewart. He had not registered
nr voted in rIe State since 1880.
As between the TIVE carpet bag
gers. Fair and Stewart. each Repub-
lican voter preferred tho CARPET
bar-er Of his own party. Mt
c.rrora'> quart Of either party in
the Stlte wanted either. the real
Issue was rlond.d all through the
campaign. TIE fear af Fair step
Plug in aud tah;ns a''vantsre of a
Democratic L-ei, latnre to elect
himself an the one hand, aud the
hope of beating Stewart with some
e>ident Republican on the other,
lost the stat. TO fhe Democracy.
Stlnding out rlonc as the only and
rec ,gnlzed candidate of the Repub-
licin party, st wi rt could not have
p He'd 5000 votes In the St; tie. \
carload of money cuuld not have
elected him. But he was not al
iuwed to stand alone. The people
were hoodwinked into the belief
that Dacgett, Wren Or .awniug
wouli have show. Our own man

f,Ing aud muddltng the situation
bv keeping hack Fairs letters.
Fear that the latter would come in,
cost us as many vttn> as the hopes
that IA home Republican would in
the end defeat Stewart. For one,
the writer does not rcpruach him
self. He KEEP; nothing from the
people. He declared from pretty
much every stump. as well as in
private CONVERSATIONS. that Far
had written from his home in San
Francisco declining to be eanGi-
dare. Whether in or out, We were
against hIm on the ground If nom
e>,Geuce Fiirand Stewart were
~ The same category. Neither had
any business in Nevada politics.
But it's unnecessary IT, write fur'h-
or nn these matters. Through the
,iSarnrehensions Of the people rs
t. the real situation St.wa,t has
won aud that is the end nf II. We
only started out To cnpy Fairs let
ter t. Garrard, t. vindicate the. !
truth of what he said on the stump !
The object nf Mr. Cassidy in /,
publishing the foregoing is obvious.
lie knows very we'll that Fairs let
ters were written for the purpose
Of being used in case Of the success
Of the Republican party and sup

the Democratic party. and that !

The people wei! understood the
