A SILVER LEAGUE CONVENTION.

The Silver Leagues in the various
countries of the State are consider
ing the question of holding a State
Convention in Reno early in July.
The National Conventions of the two
old parties and of the Peoples party
will have been held by that time so
that the Leagues will know exactly
what they have to do. The ExecG-
tive Committees of the several local
leagues, are requested to take action
upon the matter and determine when
the convention shall be held and the
basis for representation in the con-
vention. The attendance should be
large so that every mining camp and
agricultural valley and village in the
State will be represented and full
and free discussion of the situation
can be had. The Republican State
Convention at Virginia City and the
Democratic State Convention at Win
nemucca were not representative
bodies, as only few hundred votes
were polled at the primaries of either
party. Let the silver men hold
convention, comrosed of at least one
hundred and fifty delegates repres-
enting large majority of the voters
of the State. all the electors in fact,
in some counties and present strik-
ing contrast to the other conventions
in which there was not interest en-
ough taken by the masses of the
people to vote for or against dele
gates. -Journal.
The Virginia City Silver Club
passed resolutions to the effect that a
convention be held at the old mother
lode If a convention is held this
seems to be the best place fer it.
