WASHINGTON, d. G. Oct. 10. '94.
George S. Macon Winnenucca,
NeUudn DEAR SIR: Circumstances
seem to require a word from me to
the re ;crmers and friends Of silver in
N vada. Situated Mt the national
ca oitol, may in some degree, per
ha d more than many others, realize
the necessity Of complete unity of
effort on the part Of the friends Of fl.
nancial reform in your state at the
coming election. Already the gold
trust of the East are congratulating
themselves over the fractional diff
culties in your state, and are pre-
dieting the overthrow of Senator
Jones in the immediate future as the
result. They claim that the defeat
Of Mr.. Newlands, means the defeat
OF Senator Jones and the disintegra-
ton of the financial reform party Of
Nevada The election Of Mr.. Bartine
would be hailed as victory for the
gold trust, and the breaking down Of
the influence Of Senator Jones and
Stewart, which none save those who
have witnessed their courageous, and
persistent combat for financial re-
form can appreciate the disasters
which such an event might precipi-
tate. Every true reformer is anxious
ly watching the trend Of events in
your state, since the outcome is of
national importance. I have great
faith in Mr.. Newlands, and hope to
see him returned to congress. He
has been a safe intelligent and earn
est member, and has stood squarely
for financial reform. He has act
ed with the Populists as rule
and has been considered as one Of
our number. He'has contributed to
the cause, and regularly pays his as
sessment for the support of the Popu-
list headquarters here in this city.
In view OF all this, ! appeal to the
reformers OF Nevada to drop all diff
ferences, and rally to the support OF
Mr.. Newlands and Senator Jones.
Do not let any sentimental objections
stand in the way Of his reelection.
The country wonld snffer if the state
OF Nevada should be captured by the
gold trust OF the East, and the cause
OF financial reform would receive "A
severe blow. Remember the situa.
ton in which such an event would
leave your champions, and all take
hold with a will, and re elect Mr.. New
