profound antipathy to the Presi-

vacant by the death of Secretary
Window, but l can hope, that who
ever is appointed, Harrison will
not kill him by forcing him to
makespeeches against free coinage.

that he spoke at the Board Of
L ade dinner in New York. He
appeared there at the urgent re-
quest OF the President. who knew
thai Mr.. Window was suffer- g
from heart disease. The Presi-
dent was aware that the occasion
would be a great opportunity to

give them as much force and effect !

Thinks it a Grab.

Reno, February 4th. 1891.
EDITOR OF APPEAL Il notice that
a bill has been introduced to paY
Frank Bell S. Ill for salary as
Governor.
Now Bell has no right to thu t
money for il he had, why did he not
draw it at the time? He obtained
advice on the matter and conclud.
ed he could not collect it by law.
He drew his salary as Lieut..
Governor which is all he 10 emit led
to under the law. He now comes
In and wants both salaries. He
never conformed with the law
which says positively that the
Governor shall reside at the seat
OF Government.
He visited Carson about once
week and when anything needed
his attention had it sent to Reno
for him to act upon 1t.
Now while the Hon. Senate ia 80
fast for economy they should hest
tate before giving away such
sum Of money. I believe il the fact
are brought out the bill will be
defeated. I think it a clean cut
grab.

The life Of the actress Is as full OF
