OPPOSED TO FREE SILVER.

TOPEKA, March 3.-In the Repub-
lican state convention, although no
definite action was taken by the club
on the silver question, the sentiment
of the Kansas Republicans became
apparent when, just before adjourn
ment, d. r. Anthony, who has here
tofore been a radical free silver man,
announced in a short speech that he
had changed his views upon the sub
ject and was now opposed to free
coinage of silver. When the speak
er made this announcement the con-
vention rose as one man and cheered
with enthusiasm.

A REPLY.

Sioux FALLS, S D., March g.
Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr., has written
an open letter in reply to Hon. James
G. Blaine's personal statement. In
it she says that she does not ask
sympathy, but demands justice, and
requests Mr.. Blaine to publish in full
the texts of her letters quoted from.
She says that only shrewd and un-
principled person would use only
such pages as were needed and re-
press that portion favorable to her.
She gives Mr.. Blaine ten days to
either publish the letters in full or
retract what he has written. If he
does neither of these things, she
threatens to publish letters from his
son showing that the junior Blaine
was not weak, simple-minded boy,
and that his father well knows this.

There seems to be dull stupor hang
ing over this portion OF Oregon, but
the Willamette Valley, proper, is by
all odds the best and most prosperous
portion OF Oregon. In the great CEN
t" 8 OF population and railroads such
as Portland, Salem, Albany and Eu-
gene, you will find refinement and
intelligence and business thrift. The
great valley OF Willamette abounds
with beautiful and cultivated farms.
These homes have all of the modern
conveniences and comforta, but these
desirable farms and good business
opportunities in the cities, are held at
fancy prices and there is but few if
any new openings for commercial
business as that channel. Of trade is
already over crowded.

L would say, without hesitation to all
Nevadans who are reasonably we'll
situated with fair average business
prospects, remain where you are.
Nevada has boundless uudeveloped
resources in both mountain and plain.
Her bright and sunny skies and
healthful climate cannot be surpassed
in any latitude or longitude out
side her limits. All we need to de-
velop our rich resources and to
increase our population and make our
people prosperous and contented, are
more and cheaper transportation
facilities, free coinage of silver, re-
duction of taxes and a we'll advised
and cheap irrigation system, all of
which are obtainable if the people
stand together as one man and sup
port these issues by an affirmative
vote.

State and county officers 80 far in ad-
vance OF what they, with a common
wealth of more extended and varied
resources and population of 314,O00
people, are paying to the same class

Why a Democratic Mayor.

Tho personal difference between Mr.. GIL
ROY and Mr. EtNsrEIN Is by no means
the only factor In leading voters
to the support OF the Democratic
candidate for Mayor rs against tho Re-
publican candidate.
Dir. GILRoYs tenure Of the important
place of Commissioner Of Public Works has
proved him to be the likcliest candidate
for Chief Magistrate to be- found In the
city: whereas Of Mr.. EINsTE1N's faculty for
public affairs We know nothing. But an
equal point in Mr.. GILRoY's favor is that
New Workers will naturally desire to
continue ms nearly rs possible tho ex-
traordnurily successful administration Of
Mayor GRANT. For four years Mr.. GRAN
has been Mayor: and who Is there to say
that the business Of the city Government
has ever been carried on with more vigil
lance. understanding. or public benefit? Mr..
GRANT is not to-day a candidate because he
prefers to retire from public service but Mr..
GILRoY has been trained in the same school,
and is worthy OF the great victory which
would surely have boon Mr.. GRANTS had no
consented to run again.
Vote for THOMAS F. GILRoY.
