EprroR SENTINEL: In the Reno pa
uers Of the 10th inst. | notice an ediet
Of Pasha Tin.Tom Fitch, who BY the
grace of his master, VIM. NJ. Stewart OF
Nevada, calls for q State Convention TO
urge free and unlimited coinage, and as
his manifesto further on explains 70
take such action as they (the dele
gates, may deem expedient."
In the name Of common sense, as well
as decency, what in Gods creation does
this Tin. Tom Fitch and his so.called Sill
YER Committee, which in reality is only
the fag.end Of q 6atism-greenback'mu'
al.admiration society here in Wash
ton, mean by getting q convocstion oil
Nevada representatives from the differ
emit counties TO come to meet him, the
Member for Nevada Of the National
Silver Committee " in Renol The utter
folly is apparent, to urge them on 70
free coinage, and is like preaching to the
converted, for in Nevada they are all
wide awake and unanimous for free and
unlimited coinage. Or does he wish to
repeat to them that acme OF folly, his
rigmarole which he delivered in st. Louis
in November Of last year at the National
Silver Convention when he stated that
the Government of the United States
could take a disk Of tin, stamp 1t Q dol
lar and it would be q dollar. Ever since
| have nicknamed him Tin.Tom Fitch.
Sly coon, that Tin-Tom, but not sly
enough to catch us old birds here with
his chat; besides that Executive Com
mittee here in Washington, OF which
Tin-Tom is q member, is getting out oil
funds, and as that tin-dollar currency o.
his is not current yet in this country, h'
is after the silver shekels Of the people
Of Nevada. They want money, hare
silver money-no tin disks for him Of
| his committee, hence he put on the hv
| cry of the silver men and apparently
| comes to urge them to action. What &C
ton! Echo answers money, money
and plenty Of it to keep these gentle.
men of that committee in canvas-bacl
ducks, wines and cigars, for SO far that
| committee has virtually done nothing
worthy Of mention, except obeying tn
mandates of Sultan Stewart and lister
to the mutual admiration laudations o
Pasha Tin-Tom Fitch. Before the gooC
people Of Nevada pay in some NOR
money it would be as well to ask tina
Pasha Tin.Tom what has become Of tn
money they have so far received ant
which has been used to pay the way anC
keep in s~ustenance q lot OF very lam
| ducks, who know nothing of the silve
question, but who have been on tn,
staff Of that committee drawing s~alarie
and getting their hotel bills paid. Tha
whole crowd remind me very much o
the parties who during the whole Sun
day have been playing cards, just befor'
leaving for home at night unanimousl!
came to the conclusion that it was tn,
Lords day and that they ought to d,
something religious before they adjourn
hence they proposed to pass the hat
The mutual admiration society Of tina
executive committee Of which linton
is the most bright and shining light, al
though this is not saying a great deal il
his favor, considering the other lumi
naries and by drawing q fair comparison
it is perhaps. or is not very compliment
airy, but be it as it may they have beef
fooliDg away their time here for fv'
months past, have virtually done yer!
little or nothing for the cause and be
fore retiring into oblivion they want T.
do something religious and have sent on
Tin.Tom to pass the hat. oh. you dear
innocent creatures. do you really believ
that the hard. working miners can b
thus hoodwinked But perhaps the
know no better, and If they listen TO m,
advice they ought to consider themselve
we'll off il they aver get that hat back.
