SIR: - Your change of position
from candidate for congress to can
didate for the senate seems mysteri-
GUS. You were elected to congress
against Mr.. Cassidy because you
claimed you could do more for the
people of the state than he was able
to do. Have You succeeded in doing
better than Mr.. Cassidy did: He
was able to point to many substan-
tial things he accomplished for the
state; among others, he secured the
appropriation Of 800, GOO to erect the
public building at Carson. Have you
done rs muchf Are you quite GER
tain that you have done rs much in
the cause of silver in congress as he
did while living by his patriotic eff
forts in private hfe2 Did you de-
cline to be a candidate for congress
this year because you knew that you
had failed to satisfy tho reasonable
expectations of your constituents,
and that change Of representative
was demanded3 II not, what was
your reason for retiring from that
contests Did you think it was an
easier task to defeat me for the
senate by false charges than to he
elected to the house on the affirma-
tive merits Of your own record?
A Nominal Candidate.
In your prepared speech, which
you deliver on all occasions. you say
that charge you in my speeches
with being only q nominal candi-
date. So far you state the truth.
You further charge that l named in
my speeches Senator Williams of
Ormsby, Senator Foley of Washoe,
A. C. Cleveland of White Pine. and
Governor Colcord as the real persons
seeking the honor. You speak truth
fully so far as Msssrs. Foley and
Cleveland are concerned. ! did name
those gentlemen as probable aspirants
for the senate, because they have
been frequently mentioned to me as
such. 1t is not true that l have in
any speech alluded to Senator Will
Hams or Governor Colcord ~ aspir-
ants for that Office. There can be
NO doubt that either of the gentlemen
you name would accept the Office Of
senator il rendered to him. Your
egotism has deprived you Of ordinary
common sense IL you do not know
that the hold-over senators and the
persons now candidates for the legis-
lature would prefer either one Of the
gentlemen you name to yourself.
Candidate for Executive FAvors.
You must know df You do not
others do), that your Dolly Warden
yecord, your silver record, your force
bin record and your lack Of success
- . member of the lower house of
congress would induce the legisla-
ture, in case Of my defeat, to select y
now man who had not been tried and
found wanting. Assuming as l do
that you are not entirely bereft of
reason, have taken the liberty Of
designating you As q nominal can
Aidate "for the senate, but real can
didate for executive favors. You
cannot be blind TO the fact that
Thomas II. Carter, who was defeated
for reelection to congress in Montana
on account Vt his want of fidelity to
the president BY being appointed
the general lana Office, and after
ward elevated 10 the position of
chairman OF the national Republican
committee to manage the campaign
for President Harrison. You are
also aware Of the fact that Mr..
Conger Of Iowa, who was chair
man Of the committee ON coinage.

first congress. and who aided the Nd
ministrStion to defeat free coinage.
was rewarded for his services by BE-
ing appointed minister to Brazil.
You arc also familiar with the policy
OF the administration in rewardina
gold men and withholding patronage
and executive favors from the advo-
Gates OF free coinage. Your hostility
to the Silver party of Nevada and
your abuse of me are not calculated
20 recommend you to the people OF
Nevada for senator; but judging
from the past you are making .
record which ought to commend you
10 Benjamin Harrison, John Sherman
aud their gold associates. Your de-
sire for favors from the administrs-
ton Is the only rational explanation
of your present attitude on the ell.
YER question.
Tho Hold-Ovsr senators.
You say am very bitter against
the hold-over senators. Why do Won
say thst1 Some of them are nv
friends and supporters. Why are
you so anxious to defend them? Do
you own themp II so. who sold them

licans, how can you, with u crooked
record as Republican and silver
man, expect to secure their support
The Compromise Act of 1899.
You charge mo with having re-
peatedly said that the compromise
act Of 1890; which was extorted from
the administration by the silver SEN
Ators for their votes on the Mckinley
bill, was better than a free coinage
bill. The charge LIS false. Ny re-
marks We're not correctly reported or
understood. In speaking of the
treasury notes issued in the pur-
chase Of bullion, I said that that
provision of the bill WAS excellent.
aud that without some such pro-
vision whereby the owner of bullion
could receive his money on presenta-
tion of his bullion at the mint, free
coinage would be . failure. stated
that every free coinage bill which
