Chairman Hackett, of the New York
Republican state committee, issued on
September Goth a "private and confiden-
tial circular OF ubiquitous tenor, which
was susceptible Of no other explanation
than thatof bid for all the purchasahle
votes that the recipients of the circular
could scare up. A copy of this circular,
probably turned over by some Repub-
lican too honest to conniye at such dirty
work, was shortly afterwards made pub
lie through the New York World, which
paper has daily since called upon the
New York Tribune to reprint the same,
freely offering the Tribune the use Of
the iPor1ts fac smile stereotype plate
for that purpose. Although the Tribune,
in general terms and without yenturing
to quote the language of the document,
has defended its issue by Chairman
Hackett, that paper has stcadfastly ig-
nored the Worlds daily challenge to
print the text of the circular--a circular
sent out, be it remembered, by the chair
man Of the state committee of its own
party. Finally, on Monday afternoon,
the World sent this circular to the TIL
6Mne's business office, bargained for and
paid so to pay for its insertion in the
Iri6ane's advertising columns-and the
next day the money was returned with
out explanation, the tribune having re-
fused to print this Republican circular

presidency will not print for "love or

SENATOR ZONES ON SILVER.

Senator John P. Jones of Nevada said
to Q New York Recorder reporter last
night at the Fifty.avsnue Hotel three
mighty important thugs In politics in
about as many minutes. First, that the
Free Coinage bill would certainly be
passed by this Congress and at this ses-
sion; second. that the silver men gener.
ally expect the President to veto it, on
the ground that it should be restricted
to American silver if passed ct all; and
third, that he had no idea that the silver
men could muster force enough to
pass the bill over the veto. The great
silver Senator therefore thinks that uni
versal free coinage is not likely to come
cut Of the chrysalis, but that restricted
free coinage may pull through as com
promise. He said to the reporter that
his personal interests are now much
larger in gold than in silver, but his flu
ture course on the silver question will be
consistent with his record made when
silver was his stronghold in business.

HARRISON MARCHING TO THE
NOMINATION.

President Harrison seems TO have no
opposition worthy of the name for a re-
nomination. All Of the conventions OF
his party, that have thus far acted, have
declared for him with unsnimity and en-
thusiam. Why, we even note that the
delegation from the great silvsr.produc-
ing State Of Montana is to be given him
without a word Of protest from any liv-
ing Republican under the sun. II this
is not meekly turning the other cheek
we don't know what is. Is Nevada also
to send Harrison men to the National
Convention? We have failed TO discern
any particular "kick T" among the lead
ers up to date. But no matter what
these western States do, the President Is
certain Of the nomination for q second
term. He is as good as nominated now.
But he is not as good as elected by 9 long
shot. We shall be surprised If there
are not surprises next November that will
astonish the natives. Population consid'
cred, the Republican majority Of 1000
in Nevada is equivalent to a majority Of
200, 900 in New York. With Harrison al
the Republican candidate We shall not bs
surprised to see the Republican majority
Of 1000 in Nevada turned into
Democratic majority Of 5000. ThiI
would be the same as the change Of .

rnr WHIP HAM.

Mr.. Harrison has got his Indiana in
dorsement. The Republican Convention
ct Indianapolis was packed in the high
est style Of the art. 1t was impossible,
however, to prevent some delegates from
getting in without credentials from the
Federal ~ofRce.holders; but between the
rulings Of the chairman and the yells Of
"Put EN- out from the machine dele
cations, short work was made Of them.
The Indiana delegation goes to Mime.
spolis solid for Harrison, and ex-Con-
gresham White, who ran 1900 votes
ahead Of Harrison in his district goes
home to see what can be done about it.
Neither in Indiana nor anywhere else,
however, is<here anything for Republi'
cans to do about il ct present except sub.
nit. Harrison has the strongest efice.
holding machine ever organized in the in
terest Of the denomination Of any Presi.
dent, and il is absolutely intolerant Of OPP

opinion that there are better men and
better candidates in the party than Hsr.

White was answered at Indian apolis,
"Put EN- ont " lie the all.sufioient argu.
ment against Republicans who claim the
floor against Harrison's determination TO
renominate himself.

cept submit or be put out. Everything lie
In the hands OF the Administration ma
chine. and everywhere, except in 8 few
States where the chief Federal Office
holders are not expert in bossism, Mr..
Harrison's work Of renominating himself
is progressing most favorably. Although
no one denies that he is one Of the most
unpopular Republicans who ever held
high Office. he is almost certain to succeed
in renominating himself. This could
not happen If there was any other candi-
date on whom the party could unite, but
as there is pone Mr.. Harrison is free to
use the whip hand as he pleases.

SILVER IN THE sENArE

Whilst opinions differ as to whether
the free silver coinsge measure should be
pressed TO a vote in Congress this SEES
sion, and thus be injected to a large ex-
tent into the Presidential canvass as a
political issue, there is still q curiosity
as to it's fate in the Senate. II is now
conceded on all hands that Mr.. BANDS
bill will go through the House by E ma
jority substantially as large as that by
which the House determined to set q
time for its consideration. That major
ity was in excess Of 100, SO it may be
expected that by the LIST Of April the bill
will be before the Senate for action by
that body.
1t may be t~ruthfully said that both
Republican and Democratic politicians
are afraid Of the effect. not only Of the
passage, but the discussion Of the sub
ject in the Senate. The nearer q meas
ure gets to receiving the final touches,
the more I" conservative " everybody be-
comes. The President, Of course, has a
very decided preference that the silver
bill shallnot come before him for his
signature. especially not before the 9TH
Of June, and not at all if he should be
nominated at Minneapolis, as is likely.
But there are some Of the western Sena-
tors, notably those from Colorado, whofeel
that they cannot afford to obstruct or de.
lay the bill, whatever effect it may pro-
duce.
Among the Senators who voted for the
silver bill at the last session, and who
are not members, were Hampton. In
gals, Mcconnell and Reagan. but their
successors are free silver men. OF those
opposed, only the successors of Edmundi
and Spooner have announced themselves
as opposed. Gibson. Of Maryland, who
succeeds Wilson, voted in the House
for free silver. II is believed Senator
Hill will be recorded that way, II !,
comes to a vote. Without going further
into detail II appears that IN Q straight
vote there would be so votes for and 81
against. not counting Hill, Perkins or
Brioe. Even should these all vote nc
and Cameron, Anderson and Paddock
reverse their record. the bill would ye,
pass the Senate with . margin Of six.
There, Of course. its proud waves would
be stayed, for there is no doubt Harrison
would veto it's. L. Herald.

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC
sTATE COMMIrTEE.

Major John III. Dennis, the Cnairman,
has called . meeting Of the Democratic
State Central Committee At Reno April
2od. 1t has been suggested that the
meeting has been called for too early 3
date, but we can see nothing objection
able on that score. The committee must
meet to take action, and IL may as well
meet Ut one time as another. The date
Of the convention can be fixed ss late as
ans one may desire that 1t shall be. We
do not imagine that there is going 10 be
any great scramble for posts Of distinc-
tion before the convention. or a. the
hands Of the party this Fall. In Pres
identisl years there is always doubt as
to what course should be pursued In get
ting the party machinery in motion for
the approaching conflict. State and Ma
tionai. The date at which delegates to
the National Convention must be Sc
leoted is usually considered too early for
the placing in the field OF the State
ticket, though on some occasions the
whole work has been done by n con-
vention. There are special reasons this
year why this should not be done. We
want TO hear from the National Conven'
tion before action is taken for the nom
inatiop OF the State ticket. We do not
apprehend any such thing. but Presiden-
tial Electors nominated In advance might
refuse to stand for the candidate or on
the platform adopted by the National
Convention. These are peculiar times in
Nevada. THE silver question overshad
ows all. others with our people. Party
lines will amount 10 nothing where this
vital issue is involved. We are there
fore in favor OF two Democratic State
Conventions; the first to select only the
delegates to the National Convention at
Chicago, leaving the State ticket, includ
i1g the Presidential Electors, to be Sc
Iected by q later convention. The fret
Of course will be largely a proxy conven-
tion, but that will not matter. The re
mote sections sending in proxies will at
the same time instruct as TO whom they
may desire to represent them at Chi
cago. Give the people . chance. whether
they exercise the opportunity or not.
That will be their fault and not the fault
Of the committee. The SENTINEL is for
two conventions. bat cares nothing about
the dates or places ct which they shall
be held.

The point Is made that the price Of
silver is lower to-dsy than il has been In
q century. A century is . long time; it
is 9 hundred years. Only think OF it.
There lie no man living whose memory
goes back 90 far. And yet we recall
some more modern declarations and pro-
phecies and guesses for political effect.
We can all recollect the Clevelsnd-H ar-
rison campaign Of lsSS. We can all re.
member also some political speeches that
we're made In Eureka and at other points
in the State. Is 10 not now in order to
inquire what has become Of ell the pro-
missed prosperity that we were to have
and to feel within sixty days after the
election 10 case Harrison should succeed.
Do not the people Of Nevada recall that
Senators Stewart and Jones and Repre-
sentative Bartine told Us from every
stump that all OF our old abandoned
furnaces AID mills were to be in full
blast, and the hum OF busy industry
would be heard everywhere in the land
in sixty days, with silver at 1929, II
we would only stand in and vote for Hsf'
rison. A good many people did so and
be carried the State. But where are the
goods in return! Silver was "a on cleo
ton day In 1883. II is 50 now with q
prospect Of going 10 so il we continue to
keep the Republican party in power.
Let rs suggest to the Republican orators
Of Nevada that there Is net q prophet
among them. Stewart and Jones and
the rest, II they are honest men, should
frankly acknowledge to the people that
they either purposely deceived them or
did not know what they were talking
about in 1855. One horn or the other
must be accepted. Anybody can be
fooled once. To be fooled q second time
falls little short Of a crime, unless ignor-
ance be plead as the governing cause Of 1t.

VERY MUCH OBLIGED.

Inc san franclsco OtOck hepOrt, III .
recent issue says that the Eureka SEN-
TINEL and Reno Gazette are the only in
dependent papers published in Ne
vads. What 1t means by independent
is that these journals are not controlled
by corporate influence, but advocate the
best interests Of the people. We thank
the Report for Its compliment in thus
chasing the SENTINEL in the proper cate
CORY, and hope the Gazette is equally de-
serving of favorable mention, but we
can hardly indorse the declaration Of our
San Francisco contemporary when il says
that ali Of the rest of the Nevada pa
pers are owned by corporations, or words
to that effect. We think there are sew
eral other Nevada papers that have no
Identification with corporate masters.
As q rule the press Of this State is as in
dependent on monopoly lines as the press
Of any other State In the Union, and
vastly more SO than that Of San Fran,
cisco. There is a general belief that
most Of the San Francisco papers are
uniformly in the market to the highest
bidder. The serious trouble with a
good many Nevada papers is that they
are not corporation, but party ridden.
There are papers in this State that
will advocate the success Of the
Republ lean party at any sacrifice or
or cost to the prosperity Of the people.
Everybody knows. and has known for
years. that the Republican party is the
anti-silver party in Congress. Still the
Republican press in Nevada does all IN
its power to strengthen that opposition
by reinforcing it with Republican
members from Nevada. A vote for the
Republican ticket in Nevada is the next
thing to . direct vote against silver in
Washington. This is particularly SO as
affecting the House. II the House Is
made Republican we are certain to have
Tom Reed or some other anti-silver man
for Speaker, who in turn will appoint q
Coinage Committee Of the same way oil
thinking. With . Democratic majority
in the House we are certain TO get q free
coinage Speaker who will not fail tc
make Bland Chairman Of the COMMITTEES
on Coinage. This Is the question brought
directly home to the understanding oil
all men who are not blinded by senseless
partisanship. In these days Of depres'
sion and distress in Nevada we all make
fools Of ourselves to pay much attention
TO patisanship. The thing to do is to &c
for the men and measures that will be
most helpful to our own local interests.
There should be but one sentiment and
but n party In Nevada until we gel
something done for silver. WI believe
there is good in both parties and good
men in both parties. but the way to helE
ourselves is to stand together for the
common good regardless Of party. The
newspaper or individual that does mol
feel this way is not . true friend Of the
State.
