parts of the corrupt methods by which
Clayton's lawful majority was overcome;
George Bentley was murdered because
it was suspected that he was abaut to
give information concerning the frauds;
a man named BENJAMIN was murdered
because he took part in searching after
the ballot-box thieves With these
four open murders looking them in the
face, and with the knowledge of scores
of scarcely less open murders which
preceded the election, and which were
perpetrated that the colored voters
might be inundated in advance. the

AGAINST FREE COINAGE.

1t is reported in the western part OF
the State that d. o. Mills, the many
times millionaire and principal owner
Of the Virginia & Truckee, Carson &
Colorado. and Eureka & Palisade rail-
roads, openly expressed his disap-
proval Of free coinage while in Carson
last week and that the magnates OF
the crooked railroad have since been
reiterating the sentiment.
IL does not seem cridible that Mr..
Mills, who made much OF his money
in the silver mines OF Nevada, should
be so thoroughly imbued with goldbug
ideas as to oppose a measure that
would restore prosperity to Nevada,
but il is possible, and in fact probable
that the sixty millions, OF which he IS
the reputed owner, would bring him a
larger income with gold at a premium
than would his railroad interests IN
Nevada with silver remonetized, and,
as he is actuated wholly by selfish mo
tives, he opposes free coinage regard
less OF the consequences to the masses.
The absence Of Superintendent Yer
ington and lesser lights of the Vir-
ginia & Truckee railroad, and also OF
Federal and Mint officials from the
State Silver Convention at Carson was
noticeable, and it is probable that one
set dreaded the d~ispleasure OF million.

QUAY AND TmE PREsIDENT.

Washington dispatch to the Helena Journal,
Russell Harrison's organ.
"The published stories about the re-
~pudiation Of Senator Quay by the Presi-
dent are absurd. He never stood so
well at the White House as he does
now, and the attacks upon him have
awakened the sympathy Of the Presi-
dent, because he recognizes that they
have been made for partisan reasons.
The Senator calls at the White House
frequently and can always get the ear
of the President when other persons are
refused interviews. Nor is there any
feeling between the Republican National
Committee and their chairman. They
all defend him, will doubtless continue
to do So, no matter what may be said Of
him in the newspapers. The Senator'S
advice is as much sought now as ever,
and there is no candidate for office who
is not glad to secure his Endorsement,
although few outside his State are able
to. obtain it."
To which the New York World re.
plies as follows:
There may be q partisan motive for
exposing the dishonesty Of a man high
in office. though the World denies that
any such motive caused its exposure Of
the character and misdeeds Of Matthew
s. Quay. But if the charges brought
are true, and they involve gross corrup.
ton and crime in a public official. should
the fact that they are calculated to in
iure the accused person lead a President
Of his party to stand by 'himi
"This is a singular attitude for a Pres.
ident Of the United States TO assume.
The charges brought against Mr.. Quay
are true. His silence is an admission Of
their truth. The silence Of Senator
Cameron and Of Wayne MacVeigh can
only be construed as q confession that
they cannot deny the knowledge attrib-
uted to them Of Quay's embezzlement.
"Does President Harrison mean to
say that the letters of those eminent
Republicans, Wharton Barker and H. G.
Lee, were written for partisan rea-
sons!" If they were, il was to ave
the party from a disgrace and injury
which the protection of Quay by the Re.
publican leaders is sure to infict."

The silver convention at Carson last
week was eminently successful. IL
called together the largest OF
the representative men Of The State that
has ever assembled in Nevada. The
two political parties were about equally
represented with their abless men. The
proceedings we're marked by q spirit OF
harmony throughout. The entire alb
sence Of partisan politics was q charae-
teristic feature Of the deliberations. 1t
Is tru that the Jones faction Of the Re-
publican party on the outside threw coid
water on the convention from the start,
but this feeling was not manifested
among the delegates composing the son.
ventiou, The entire convention was
strong for free and unlimited coinage
and would be satisfied with nothing else
or less. Allusions denouncing both the
Window and Jones bills were s~pplauded
10 the echo. II Jones and Stewart and
Nevada's member Of Congress could have
looked in upon this convention they
would have discovered that il would not
do TO monkey with the buzz saw. Bull
ion purchase bills we're totally and
phatically repudiated by the convention.
Exclusive measures" the resolutions
declare, are not wanted, nor will they
be accepted. Free coinage or nothing is
the slogan in Nevada, irrespective OF
party, according to the declaration OF
the late convention at Carson. The
only other possible thing that could help
this State would be the coinage OF
"a, 900, 900 per month which does not
require q law Of Congress. II we can
not secure one or the other OF these al
ternatives there is q feeling that matters
had better be left as they are.
We regret that there are gentleman IN
the State who see in this silver move
ment by people q n to further Re
publican ascendency in Nevada. Ii
goes without saying, Of course. that the
silver interest is subordinated to parti-
san success, with these men. They are
for the Republican party first and FOL
silver as q secondary consideration
There is a large section Of the Repub-
lican party that prefers partisan success
to the success Of silver legislation. Ii
the minds of all such the Carson con-
vention was an impertinence and a re-
Election on our delegation in Washing
ton. The SENTINEL is for the reflection
il il be deserved.

"No matter how long or fasiguing a fac

corum and grace were united. He was

body and limbs, and seemed, without

should. He wal never in a hurry, and

Senator Carlisle has written a letter
to B. F. Howard, at Tuskagee, Ala
bama. in response to a request for views
upon the bill providing for a system Of
Government warehouses for farm pro-
ducts, upon which products Treasury
notes only can be issued. The Senator
expresses a strong opposition to the pro-
posed law. He says: Farmers have
been taxed so long for the benefit of
the other classes and seen so much legis-
lation for the aggrandizement of corpor-
atoms and s~yndicates that their patience
is exhausted. But no evil can be cor.
rected by increasing its magnitude and
extending the scope OF its operations.
The only effectual remedy is to reverse
the policy which produced IT,"
In conclusion, Senator Carlisle says,
even il it could be conclusively shown
that this or any similar scheme would be
pecuniarily beneficial to any particular
class Of people he would still be unal.
terably opposed to it because. in
his opinion, it would be another wide
and dangerous departure from the prin-
ciples upon which our political institu-
tions are founded.
