- Senator Teller. q Colorado. differs
from the machine Republicans OF
Nevada in his silver views He Is by
no means satisfied with Sberman's
co,npro mise measure, which is the
: Window bill, slightly modified, and
no has introduced an amendment to
the bill TO discontinue the coinage OF
three dollar and one dollar gold pieces
and three cent nickel pieces The
new bill provides for the coinage OF

into standard dollars, and dePrives
the Secretary OF the Treasury of the
discretion given him by the Sherman
bill. 70 make the notes, issued in pay
mcnt for silver bullion, payable either

coinage on silver free at the minis
when the market price for 37i.S
grains Of the metal reaches one dol

Some Of our esteemed Republican
contemporaries, which are continu-
ally suarling Mt papers like the Silver
State, which do not express entire
satisfaction with the Sherman bill.
should commence scolding Teller for
attempting to raise silver from a COM
moiity To its former place as a pre-
cious metal. He represents the largest
silver producing constituency in the
United States, AMI unlike the place
hunting editors of Western Nevada,

bound Republican machine editors OF
Nevada on the jewel OF consistency on
the silver question. They were not
sincere in their advocacy OF the free
coinage Of silver or they would not
have accepted in good faith the bas-
tard compromise measure forced
through the Congress ri the United
States By the influence OF the gold
bugs under the crack Of the party
whip.
The INDEPENDENT will venture the
prophecy that u the present mon
s;rosity were repealed Icy the present
Congress aud none other passed in
it's stead, that the Republican editors
Of Nevada would stumble over each
other in their haste to assure their
readers that it would be 10 their best
interests that silver be completely de-
monet,zed and that they had never
advocated any other measure.
To be consistent, they should now
proceed to read Senator Teller, the
silver-tongued Fitch and other honest
advocates of tho white metal, out OF
their party. This might be u little
rough on the agent of the Sharon
estate, but it would prove their devo.
tion to tho interests Of their party.

The administrator and silver.

Tho Harrison Administration, which
place.hunters try to mako the people
believe is friendly to silver, refused to
make known the quantity Of silver
offered for sale under tho Sherman
sct, OF tho price paid for it by tho
Treasury Department. This action
by the Government, which publicly
the number OF bonds Of
f,red for redemption and the prices
paid for Thorn, caused such Il general
DRY Of Indignation that tho President
has graciously condescended to have
the order Of secrecy revoked. Gen.
Eottleton, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, conveyed tho tidings to the
Cireut Gold-bug OF tho White House
that tho silver producers aud dealers
we're loudly dcnouncing tho order OF
secrecy, which showed too clearly the
feuling Of tho Administration, and
pleaded for it's revocation. After much
persuasion tho great man reluctantly
consented TO have tho rates paid for
SILVER maue puOlic, ana u people OF
this yet partially free Republic will be
granted the privilege of knowing
what the silver that is put in u

years ago every American citizon
would have considered that he had n

were only tho servants OF tho people,

The. Platform.

In reviewing tie platform adopted
at the Republican State Convention
ut Sacramento, the San Francisco
Post says:
In the first plank is a revicw Of the
party's achievements. and Il perusal
OF IL carries one back into tho shad-
OF Il tragic past where the dull
roar Of ~treason's guns is heard. as
they b.lch forth their deadly contents
on the American flag that flies above
Fort Sumter, on through the ensuing
years Of doubt and strife and car-
mage.
This review OF the "tragic past"has
been the principal stock in trade OF
the Republican party for the past
twenty five years, and is likely to- be
utilized long after the participants in
tho bloody struggle have passed to
that bourne whence no traveller re.
turns. The Republican party without
its ready reference to "the dull roar oil
treason's guns" would he like Sanp.
sol shorn OF his strength.

surprised 10 learn that we have a sur
plus of Over eighty millions in u

by the inability OF any man to locate

sand dollars, NIL OF which is due TO the
State School Fund, three hundred
and eighty thousand dollars OK which
is IN the form of an irredeemable
