citizens of Nevada, Republicans and
Democrats, convinced that the ma
tionsI platforms Of both Republican
and Democratic parties were insincere
and simply framed to catch the votes
Of the silver 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 we're contron-
ed by Wall street and the national
banks upon the silver question, with a
spontaniety seldom witnessed in po-
litical matters resolved thereafter to
act Independently of previous polite
al affiliations, and for the best interests
of Nevada.
In pursuance of this resolution they
organized the Silver party. The party
embraced men of all occupations, and
in some counties the voters were prac
tically unanimous IN favor of the Sill
yer party movement. Only those re-
manned with the old parties who we're
Office holders or expected Office from
the incoming administration and those
who we're in great measure Deepen
dent upon corporations or Office or
others to such ar extent that they
dare not express their real sentiments
except, perhaps, fifteen hundred really
independent, honest, reputable citi-
who remained with the old parties
from conviction.
To the extent of my ability aided
the Silver party. The corrupt elements
in both the old parties considered this
a high crime, and forthwith Tray,
Blanche and Sweetheart, and the in
Vulnerable pack of ours of both the
old political parties, opened on my
track; fell who hal fawne1 upon
me, getting down in the dust and
licking my boots for favors, prompt
ed by bigger dogs, commenced abus-
ing me personally as only such ours
can abuse one.
The Reno Gazette has been particu-

as independent, intelligent, honest,
and able body Of men as can be found
anywhere in any State of the Union.

phrases appearing in it's 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 furnished than it is now.

lished letter, dated at Carson, but
in fact, l have no doubt, written at
Reno bya writer who recently dis.
tinguished himself by maintaining
with great earnestness that the price
OF silver was never influenced by leg
islation. The Shiny course of this
follow since he has resided in Nevada
has made him stencil in the nostrils
OF the people OF this State. When he
wrote THAT letter no lied and he knew
no lied; he lied with malice afore
