but the voters in the mass conven-
ton had the courage of their con-
victions. Every allusion to the in
dependent free-coinage movement
was cheered enthusiastically. A
committee on organization was APP
pointed. Long petitions, headed
with the Lyon County Silver
League call, were presented. Car
son and Ormsby are a little slow to
get into line, but they will get
there finally.

As yet no move has been made
in Washoe county, but she will no
doubt get in line at the tail end of
the procession. Following is let
from one of her prominent citizens:
RENO, April 10. 1897.
Lyon County Silver League.
Gentlemen II beg leave to acknowledge
receipt of your circular letter of the 18th.
There is a movement on foot here to organize
for common purpose; yet think that little
can be done as to representation, other to see
that in the delegates to Convention, State and
National, we have sound silver men in each
party l think our present Member of Con
gress, H. F. Bartine, and Senators Stewart and
Jones are able opponents of the double stand
ard. Yours respectfully,
The following letter from w. e.

followed by similar organizations all over the
State. Yours respectfully

In Lyon county the lists are
growing larger, Mason Valley is
rolling up quite a list and the list
here is increasing some and now
contains all but two or three voters
in the precinct except some of the
Italian citizens. Silver City will
organize tonight.
Colorado is thoroughly organized
Idaho is holding meetings and
forming Silver Clubs in every town,
Texas is thoroughly organized and
Montana is agitating the question
and wilfprobably soon be in the sill
yer ranks. Nebraska is for free
coinage, and soon we expect to hear
| that Kansas, the Dakotas and many
of the Southern States are with us
to stay.
Let the good work go on and
possibly Wall Street and the East
may come to the conclusion, ere
long, that the silver men now mean
business.
