election. The fight opened in the
usual way with betting and
buster, and earty in the morning
the campaign liar began his
work.
The first thing that confronted
the people. was a placacl posted
on the dead walls, coL, aiming a
confusing mass of figures, pre-
paratory to show that the Repub-
licans had run the county about
100000 cheaper during the last
two years of their administration
than had the Silver men.
When the intelligent voters saw
that they had credited to the Re
publican party, savings belong
ing to the Silver party, there was
a general laugh over town, and
the thing fell flat.
The next, and more bold ca
nard, was a circular signed by
Trenmor Coffin and Allen Bragg
to the effect that the s. p. r. r
had posted on their bulletin
boards at Wadsworth, orders
from the company to vote the
Silver ticket. The absurdity of a
corporation cd and skilled in
politics, making such an ass of
itself, as to post political orders
on a bulletin board, was appar-
ent to the dullest intellect, yet a
good many were humbugged by
it. The chairman of the Silver
Committee autographed at once to
Wadsworth, and a dispatch was
received from there that the story.
was absolutely false. Then the
cry went along the street that the
r. r. company were fighting the
Silver ticket, swapping every
thing for New ands. These re-
ports, absolute canards and lies
of the first water were circulated
industriously all day and caused
a good many votes for Doughty.
The same grave stories were also
told against the county Silver tic
ket.
There was a lively scene on the
platform in the morning between
Deal and Coffin. The latter had
written letters to Douglas county
that Newlands had or
dered him to begin water suits
against the Douglas ranchers
after election. This, while an ab-
solute lie, did Newlands consider
able damage. Coffin was several
days ago charged with the act but
denied it. Deal went to Genoa
and got absolute proof Of Cofhn's
lying, and when the met him on
the platform of the depot, gave
him dressing down in the pres
ence Of the crowd that made Cof-
fms cheeks burn. He publicly
denounced him as liar and Coffin
took it as meek as Moses. BY
noon the Republicans had full
sway. They were dumping money

to l that the Silver men would |
elect a man on the ticket, and the |

not very lively. In the afternoon |
