THE SILVER CONVENTION.
What the silver State has To Say
OF 1t.

Regarding the silver convention
the Silver State has the following:
1t seems that there is some dis
| satisfaction in Storey and Ormsby
counties because the convention was
called at Winnemucca, the most cen
trail part of the State, and not at
Reno. Eastern Nevada sent some
10 or 80 delegates to Reno at the
first convention, while Storey, only
20 miles away, sent only twelve and
twent. four proxies and Eastern
Nevada let Reno and Virginia have
the meetings for General Weaver
without kick.
1t is hardship for the delegates
in the eastern and southern counties
of the State to pay railroad fare
clear to Reno and return, when this
burden be divided. SO far as
the Humboldt county league is con
cerned, it would not care where con
vention was held; It would be there
with full delegation even if the
convention had been called at Pinche.
1t was urged by many members of
the lesrres eastern Nevada to
have other convention held at
Winnemucea ON account Of its cen
trail location, bat the Humboldt lea
cue urged that the convention should
60 to the western part Of the State,
either to Reno, Carson or Virginia,
and it sent it full quota Of thirty
5hree delegates.
The Humboldt and Others ii the
east favored the calling of a coaven-
ton at Reno on the 31st day of
August or the 1st day Of September,
but this was not deemed advisable
BY many leading members in the
west and the men rs Of the east
acquiesced although It was against
their best judgement,
To haYe called the central com
mittee together after the first Of this
month and then ii call convention
so much time would have been con
sumed ara the convention necessarily
have been so late as to thwart the
objects Of the convention and leave
the silver leagues in the pTedica-
meut of the poor boy at husking
without word to say. As it is, no
time can be spared>after the fifteenth
if the leagues don't want to be shut
out and we know they don't, and
don't intend to be- The silver
leagues are not in the fight for child's
play, nor simply for amusement for
themselves or any body else. They
are in on principal, and TO stay I'M
I'll Nevada shall be redeemed from
Che denonatiou and the trucking Of
the two parties to the money power,
md freed from the clanking chains
Of slavery, forged for every industry
n the State by English and Ameri-
can plutocracy now represented by
Harrison and Cleveland and their
We can see no sensible
Kick coming from any quarter.
If any silver man is so weak in
he faith that he can be shaken from
lis allegiance to the vital principle
If free coinage because he has to
meet his brother members at Con
fention held in a central location in
,tead of at the extreme side of the
State and only two hours ride from
lis own door, then we are afraid his
aith is not strong enough to carry
lim through the election wherever
he convention might be held. It is
10 time to swap horses while you are
a stream. Pull off your
oat, roll up your sleeves, stop your
pme to the convention
nd you will be received SO cordially
hat you will be glad the convention
vii not be held even at your own
ome.
