Reciprocity in Legislation.
do not deny that you have made
many speeches, and good ones. il
favor of silver; but that is moi
enough. It is necessary in legisla
ton to vote and act in favor of meas
ures which you desire to pass.
Remarks on Force Bill in Senate.
You say that | denounce the force
bill here, but did not do so pending
its consideration in congress. Let
me quote Il sentence or two from the
speech | made in the senate on the
241n of January, 1891. three DAYS
after you voted against the consider
alton Of the free coinage bill, as
have already shown. [ said:
Ii l understand the elections bill cor
rectlv. the principle of it if carried INTO eff
feet would be more prtjudicial to human
liberty than secession itself Vita seces-
sion we should still retain local govern
ment. With federal officers experimenting
locai elections in every state III the Union
there is no more home rule for America:
ana when that is destroyed all is lost The
proposition lying at the foundation OF the
bill is more dangerous than secession, be-
cause with secession the different govern
ments occupying the country might enjoy
freedom in their own jurisdiction; but with
federal supervision of local elections there
can be no liberty.
[ commend the entire speech l
made on that occasion to your care
fui ,4er7lsal. Read it and then say if
n0w ienounce the force bill in more
ex,,iicit and comprehensive language

War Claims of Nevada.
You say that Captain Mullan did
nearly all the work in compiling the
evidence of the state claim of $400,-
600 against the general government
for moneys by it expended in AID of
the suppression of the rebellion.
How do you know that? Did you
participate in the work? Captain
Mullan rendered me most valuable
assistance. but think he will hardly |
claim that he did all that immense la
Dor himself. Ifcalled upon he will tell |
you that was engaged with him for
nearly two years in collecting that |
evidence. and that I compiled and |
wrote the reports which were pre-
en1ed. which | hope you have done
ne the honor to read SO that you will

Legislation Secured in Congress.

ompletion Of the a government
at Carson v Appropria-
ions have been secured to run
he mint, to establish the Indian
chool, and to endow the state uni

our next speech just what you did

o you no injustice.
Chinese Question Settled.
In addition to these appropriations
le Chinese question was settled in

Piute War Claims.
In the ffty-frst congress and in :
lie present congress, on my mo- 7
on, bill was passed to pay s

vorably reported to the house. The c

Public Building at Reno. Iy
On my motion in the fifty-frst and r
ty-second congresses a bill was q
ssed for the erection Of a public e
Hiding at Reno. What efforts did p
u make to secure the passage y
these bills in the house? I un- y,
you say that there were u
ne difficulties in passing these bills I1
the last session of congress. How u
IS it in the fifty-first congress? A b
ge number of public building bills

You say it is easier to pass bills W
'ough the senate than through the ia
Use. How do you know that fact !? th
you pretend to say that it is i'm az
'sible to pass bills in the house ? re
ndreds of them, of a purely local OF
lracter, are passed at every ses- | az
