succeed Hon. j. G. Fair, whose term
will expire on the 4th of March next.
Mr. Stewart served as United States Sen.
Stor tn <his State from the time it was
admitted into the Union until the 4th Of
Aarch. 1875; in fact, those who did not
believe that the best interests Of Nevada
would - subssrved by admitting it as .
State, with about 40, 900 inhabitants and
.8l8, 500, 600 taxable property, or about
~. COG, 900 less than in 1885, expressed
the opiaions chat Nevada was made .
State for the express purpose of making
Mr.. Stewart . Senator. However that
may Be, Mr.. Stewart was made Sena.
tor, and ss . Senator he made record.
As he again desires to become Senator,
aad is prominently before the pablic for
that position, his record when in the
Senate is legitimate subject for public
criticism, ct least. the SILvER SgAsE be-
iieves 80, and 90 believing has given to
the public, throagh it's columns, httse
Of that record on tsse silver question.
AS tho SILVER STATE dressed sttea-
zion to the fact that the acts of Mr.
Stewart when m the Sepate, and the
views which he expresses wheu endeav-
oring TO get back TO the Sen.
ate. are not in harmony with each
other, he takes occasion to print in one
of his pamphlets personal letter ad.
dressed by .stn to the editor of this
paper, doubtless for the purpose of AJAX.
iag It appesr that the SsrUER SrAr3 had
wougfully accused him of voting while
IN the Senate for biu to demouetize
silver, which was introduced and passed
under the debnsive title Of ''An Act re-
vising and amending the DAVIS relstive to
the MINIS, Assay Offices and Coeaage of
the United States" In that letter,
which has been extensively DISTRIBUTED
here. Mr.. Stewart urges in extenuation
Of his support of the demonstration bill
that Mr.. Beck, Judge Thurman and
other leading bi-metallists were members
of Congress at the tiuae, and saea nothing
with regard to it. II snch as the fact,
and Mr.. Beck or Judge Thermxn should
some to Nevada, as AIR. Stewart has
done. for the purpose OF being candi-
date for United States Senator, Mr..
Stewart. can rest assured that the SILVER
ffrATE will show up tbeir record on the
silver questicn as it has his. z
