ing dispatch was to-day sent to President
Harrison and Secretary Foster by the
managers Of Turner, one of the candi
dates for United States Senator:
ION the 22d day of last December you
sent to the United States Senate the name
of Frederick J. Grant of Seattle for En-
voys Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to Bolivia. Special haste was
made by the Senate which went into ex-
ecutive session, the Judiciary Committee
having agreed not to insist on an exam
ination into the requirements of the cam
didate. The haste made in confirming
the appointment was due to the fact that
had it been delayed Mr.. Grant could not
have entered upon his duties before Jan
uary 4th, to which date Congress on the
23d of December adjourned. Dispatches of
that date said Mr.. Grant would qualify at
once and proceed to Bolivia by way of
England, where some matters involving
the three Governments must be settled as
soon as possible.'
The telegram goes on to show how Grant,
instead of going to Bolivia, is at Olympia,
and deplores the unusual spectacle of
diplomatic Minister Of the Government
acting as manager in a Senatorial con
test.
The dispatch closes: ''You are looked
upon as a model Chief Executive of the
Nation, and have it in your power to stop
such scandalous proceedings. Will you
do it, and save the Republican party in
this State from total disruption ?'

own signature a lengthy letter explaining
his position, and in closing says: 81 am
not now in position to end this contest
with credit to the Republican party by
any personal sacrifice. 1t will do that
party infinitely less harm to continue it
to the end of the session than to submit
to impudent corporation dictation, which
undertakes to say to representatives of
the people whom they shall elevate to
public office. In the interest of the Re-
publican party OF this State I accept the
gauntlet thrown down by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, and say to it
and its servants, agents and employees,
we will fight this contest to the end. Win
it if you CAM
Two ballots for Senator were taken to-
day with no change. Allen 81, Turner

NEvADA's SENATOR.
CARSON (Nev.), Jan. 24.-William M.
Stewart was to-day reelected to the
United States Senate by the Nevada Leg
islature. In the Assembly his vote was
unanimous, and in the Senate ne received
fourteen out OF fifteen, or the votes of all
present, Senator Foley being sick in
Reno. Six years ago Stewart was elected
by the Republicans, but this year he
allied himself with the silver men and
exCongressman Bartine, the Republican
nominee, received nothing. Stewart is
recognized as the strongest silver Senator
in Washington by the people of Nevada,
as their vote shows.
The most important bill likely to come
before the present session of the Legisla-
ture has been introduced by Assembly
man Norcross of Washoe. 1t provides
for the calling Of convention to meet in
Carson City i'll April for the purpose Of
revising the Constitution Of the State.
