meeting this evening at which the matter
was fully discussed. The committee
reported to the city council

smallpox into the building BY force, if
necessary. They asserted that they were

ease, of which they were free, they
would resist its Inn Ortation into their
midst to the bitter end. They hoped the
council would not enforce this issue on
them. If they did they might expect
serious trouble.

MckENNA AND SILVER.

"The SILVER STATE says Congressman
NcKenns, of California, passed here last
Dight on his way to Washington. Though
: Pacific Coast man. he is opposed to the
Tree coinage of silver.
Then he ought to be defeated for re-
election to Congress. F"
The Reno Journal of yesterday prints
The above. but when McKenna ,ods .
candidate for reelection it whistlsd an
other tune and rejoiced over his success.
McKenna voted squarely against the
free coinage bill introduced by Bland in
1886. IS did also Congressman FELTON, of
San Francisco, and the Los Angeles con-
vention in Difference to their views on the
silver question refused to incorporate 10
the State platform the silver resolution
prepared by Senator Stewsrt. McPike,
. pronounced silver man, ran against Nc.
Kenns, but the latter was elected by .
large majority, and eastern gold men
pointed to that fact as evidence that the
people of the Pacific Coast. especially in
California, were not sincere in their adj
vocacy OF silver reconciliation.
Nevada silver assisted materially in
building up San Francisco and in making
many beautiful homes in California.
Prosperous times in this State benefits
California from which most of our mining
supplies are brought, and if the people of
these States with those of Oregon, Wash.
lngton, Montana and Colorado would
1esce the issue on silver and support no
man nor no party not pledged to remon.
etize the metal it would be restored to
its old standard forthwith. The trouble
has been aud is now that the gold.bugs
question the sincerity of the cry for silver
reconciliation and the election OF such
men az McKenna to Congress from the
Pacific coast gives them very good grounds
for doing so.
