A STAB AT THE FRANCHISE.
Under this head the Carson Appeal

Under this head the Carson Appeal
says:
"On the 4th day Of last November
the voters Of Lyon county cast 5l6 votes
in favor of a new Constitution. Both
parties favored the proposition, as it was
not considered a political measure. On
Tuesday the 18th day of February the
Senate OF the Fifteenth Session Of the
Nevsa~ Legislature refused to count
these returns, thereby aep-iving SIG
voters Of Lyon county OF the right to
have their ballots counted.
"This vote also deprived the people Of
the State of the right to call q Consti.
t~utional Convention. This is the first
time in the history Of Nevada that citi-
zens of this State and qualified voters
have been DISTINGUISHED. This outrage
on the constitutional rights of voters re-
duces the citizens of this State to a
level with the blacks of Alabama, whose
votes are never counted.
1.-THE Appeal is as staunch a Republi-
can paper as is published in the State,
but it cannot sustain the Republican
party of Nevada in this gross act Of in.
justice. We recommend in all sincerity
that the Legislature request it's Repre-
santativas at the National C~ritsl tn
| resurrect the dead Federal Election bill
and pass it, that the residents Of this
State may be able to have their ballots
counted when they cast them, and not
invalidated by a mere clerical error.
We believe that the party who hopes for
perpetuation Of power must look be-
yond the present.
"This act Of a Republican Senate will
rise to plague the party in 1892, and
give the Democrats a club to beat Us

FREE COINAGE Z A

As we have been predicting all along.
the Senate Free Coinage bill is PRACTICAL
" dead. The House Committee on
Coinage was strongly against IL from the
start and frittered away the whole ses'
sion in taking testimony, chiefly from
the single standard advocates. Finally
when there vas no time left in which to
put the bill through the House the COM
mittes reported it with q recommends
tion that il do not pass. This ends the
battle for this Congress. The bill now
goes TO the foot Of the calendar from
which position il cannot be taken with.
out o two.thirds vote. Even il the
friends Of silver could muster this
strength, which they cannot, Speaker
Reed would not permit il TO be taken
mp. On the 4th Of March all unfinished
business dies with the expiration OF
Congress. The battle will have to be
renewed and fought over again in the
next Congress. Happily the Democrats
will have q majority in the new body
and Tom Reed will no longer be in . po-
sition to stock the committee against us.
We stand a fighting show Of securing
free coinage in about one year from this
date. The only question is, will the
Senate be able to pass such . measure
over the veto Of the President It will
be q close vote in that body, but it is
barely possible that we will be able to
command the exact two-thirds. We
will have no votes to spare and may fall
short by one or two. In the House,
with its Democratic majority Of more
than one hundred, there will not be the
slightest difficulty. Free coinage will 60
through the new House by almost a four.
ffths vote. Republican President
and Senate are the only obstacles to free
coinage in the Congress which VIVA meet
In December next. In the meantime the
market for silver will be what the Wall
street and London gamblers see fit to
make il. It will auctuate from month TO
month, but the general policy will be to
keep IL at as low an average fgurge as
possible. London has the most to do
with fixing the market price Of silver
and it is London's interest to have cheap
silver to pay its bills with India. 1t is q
fine job lot Of statesmen that we have in
Washington.

Two years ago, in compliance with the
popular wish, as expressed by the press
and the people Of both political parties,
both branches Of the Legislature, by q
two.thirds vote, recommended that the
electors at the election for members Of
the Legislature in 1890 vote on the ques.
ton Of calling q convention to revise the
constitution. The electors so voted,
and it is conceded, notwithstanding the
fact that in some counties the politicians
who ordered the ballots printed pur.
posely omitted reference to the Consti-
tutional Convention, that a majority OF
all the votes polled were in favor Of
such a convention. The Supreme Court,
however, refused TO canvass the returns

expressed regarding the validity OF the
votes in Eureka and Lyon counties on
the Constitutional Convention, Senator
La Grave introduced a bill authorizing
the canvass OF the election returns from
every county in the State on the conven'
tion question. 1t would seem that
every member Of the Legislature would
assent to that measure, as it would
effectually settle a question Of the great

which the public take deep interest, yet
the bill was defeated on its third read.

Comins Of White Pine-not voting.
This implies a total disregard Of jus.
tice and fair play by the majority Of the
Senate. Every member Of the Legisla.
ture endowed with ordinary intelligence
must recognize the fact that the belief
is general that a majority Of all the
votes cast at the election last Novem-
Der were for a Constitutional Conven.
ton. Every member must also remem-
Der that his official oath requires him
to uphold the will of the majority when
constitutionally expressed, and as the
requirements Of the constitution were
complied with by those who voted for a
Constitutional Convention, there seems
to be no legal or reasonable excuse for
voting against a bill to canvass the re.
turns for a Constitutional Convention.
A decent respect for public sentiment
and a desire for fair play, if there were
no other considerations, should have
prompted every member OF the Legisls-
ture to demand full and fair canvass
of the vote, yet only six Of the twenty
members elected to represent the people
Of Nevada in the State Senate were
.actuated by such motives. The six
Senators who voted for the bill to Fan

II GAIN.

The National View, published in
Washington city has the following: Let
all the friends Of free coinage in their
hearts hope and pray that the bill will
not pass at this session. Every day that
this act of justice is delayed is worth to
the cause Of human freedom 1000 men.
We want more money. but we need
popular education more. The contempt
Of the peoples wish and welfare, SO
openly manifested by the politicians Of
all parties. is an object lesson Of NAM
moth proportions. It is making 1000
votes a day for the peoples cause in
1892. We want the good work to go
on, not only until March A next, but
through all next Summer. Loyalty to
party has been deemed the chief Of po-
litical virtues, and by mean of this
slavish principle the leaders Of the bare
majority Of a majority have always made
themselves masters of the nation. A
people becoming free demand free rep.
resentation. Put the brand of igno-
miny where il belongs. Loyalty to .
party is treason to the people.

Senator Quay for . year past h.s been
accused Of all name Of crimes and mis-
demeanors. Specific charges wire made
by the great leading papers Of the East
about whose responsibility no question
could be raised. These papers told the
public that they could prove against the
Pennsylvania Senator all they charged.
Quay seemed disposed to brave il all out
by treating the matter with silence.
This course was finally objected to by
some Of the great journals of his
political faith, and this after much de-
lay brought the Senator to his feet in
the Senate. He had prepared in writing
a little speech which he stood up and
read in the Senate last week. As q de-
Tense the document must have failed to
impress any one with the innocence Of
the accused. He took up the charges,
ten or more Of them, in their order, and
simply denied that they were capable Of
the criminal construction that had been
placed upon them. In one or two Of the
more serious cases be argued that he
had been imposed upon by others. In
no case did he deny that he had not been
mixed up in the scrapes brought against
him. The speech Of the Senator leaves
him, If anything, in a worse light than
he appeared before. The whole story
shows on it's face that he has been for
years an inscriptions jobber anG a very
low type of political boss. He has
barely kept out Of the penitentiary by
crawling through very small holes.
Quay is no credit to Pennsylvania. nor
to the Republican party as its official
head. II would look better for the
moral tone Of the country if he were
bounced from the Senate and deposed
from the Craftsmanship of the Republi'
can National Committee.

A member Of Congress Of the goldbug
stripe, who was interviewed in the East
the other day contendsd that the West
was well satisfied with the commodity
silver bill and as evidence Of il pointed
to the fact that all Of the mining States
in the Fall elections had returned the
men who voted for it. Colorado, Cali
~fornis, Nevada. Wyoming. Oregon,
Washington and Idaho had all gone Re
p1blicsn rs usual, showing that the peo-
pie were well satisfied with what had
been done on the subject Of silver. We
sounded precisely this alarm before the
election. We knew that . Republican
victory in the mining States would be
construed by the East as an Endorsement
Of the thieving commodity bill. Jones
and Stewart in Nevada defended the
swindle aud argued that il was even
than free coinage. There were q
number Of idiots all over the State
who believed them. We q now see
how the acts Of the people Of the min
ing States react against themselves. III
the chances Of silver legislation
improved no thanks are due
to the mining States for the
Improvement. It was the work OF
States that do not produce a single
ounce Of silver bullion. The silver
States have for years kept their cause
back by sending Republicans to repre-
sent them in both Houses Of Congress at
Washington. They have aided in main
adverse committees by sending
agents to reinforce the common enemy.
Bat we protest against the declaration
made in the East that the Fall elections
nut here were an Endorsement Of the
silver law. No man, be he Re-
lean or Democrat, who has his senses
