| To THE EOIToR OF TIE Aerial
Two years ago over 1000 citizens OF
Nevada, Republicans and Democrats,
convinced that the national platforms
of both Republican and Democratic
parties were insincere and simply
framed to catch the votes of the sill
yer voters of the South and West and
the votes of the gold bug voters of the
North and East, and that both of the
old parties were controlled by Wall
street and the national banks upon
the silver question, with the spon-
tainsty seldom witnessed in political
matters resolved thereafter to act in
dependently of previous political
affiliations, and for the best interests
of Nevada.
In pursuance of this resolution
they organized the Silver party,
The party embraced men of all oc-
equations, and in some counties the
voters were practically unanimous in
favor of the silver party movement.
Only these remained with the old
parties who were office holiers or ex-
| pected office from the incoming ad-
ministration and those who were in a
great measure dependent upon cor
porations or office-holdsrs or others
to such an extent that they dare not
ex press their real sentiments except,
perhaps, fifteen hundred really indie
pendent, honest, reputable citizens,
who remained with the old parties
from conviction.
To the extent of my ability 1 aided
the Silver party. The corrupt ele-
ments in both of the old parties con-
sidered this high crime, and forth
with Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart,
and the iDnumerable pack of ours of
both the old political parties, opened.
on my track; fellows who had fawned
upon me, getting down in the dust
and licking my boots, for favors,
prompted by the bigger dogs. COM
menced abusing me personally as
only such ours can abuse one.
The Reno Gazette has been par
ticularly active i'll this kind of dirty
work. The Silver party, composed
as it is of as independent, intelligent,
honest and able body of men rs can
be found anywhere in any State of
the Union, is insulted by that paper
by such phrases appearing in its
columns as "Wallace's Silver party"
Why, the poor, miserable idiot that
wrote that phrase is not fit to black
the boots of the humblest member of
the Silver party. The top of his
head should be sawed off and the
empty cavity filled with can of
oysters; then it would be better fur
nished than it is now.
A few days since the Gazette pub
lished letter, dated at Carson, but
in fact, have no doubt, written at
Reno by a writer who recently dis
tinguished himself by maintaining
with great earnestness that the price
of silver was never influenced by
legislation.
The Shiny course of this fellow
since he has resided in Nevada has
made him stencil in the nostrils of
the people of this State. When he
wrote that letter he lied and he knew
he lied; be lied with malice afore-
thought.
So far as his personal illusions To
me are concerned, l shall not notice
them, but his miserable ISLANDERS up
on the State Central Committee of
the Silver party, and upon Judge
Cheney, deserve to be stamped, as
they are, as miserable, contemplate
lies. The availability of candidates
was not discussed at the recent meet
ing of the State Central Committee
of the Silver party of Nevada. 1t is
not true that have selected Judge
Cheney or any other man for office in
Washoe county, or that L have in any
way meddled with the local politics |

the independent character of the
members of the Silver party of
Washoe county too well to attempt |
anything of the kind. If | were
still member Of the Republican
party, should know exactly how to
reach the Gazette and its correspon-
