A ROAST FOR DENNIS.
HirSh Harris Skins the Hide OF
his Adversary

L papers of this State, 1--WE believe Their
are three) have been giving grea
o prominence to a scrsed by John Den
mis- the self appointed chairman o
the so called Democratic State Cen
trail COMMITTEES.
Hirsh Harris regularly elected
D chairman If the real Central Com.
mittee writes a caustic letter of reply,
, 1t opens as follows:
Carson City, New, Sept. 6, 1894.
JOHN III DENNIS. ESQ, SIR:-I
am In receipt of your false and sour
rilous communication dated Aug.
10, 1894. addressed to me, and which
has been published solely, and no
doubt gratuitously, in the Republi-
can papers of this State, as slight
recognition for the base and trucu-
lent services which you and your bo-
gus committee have rendered that
party in the past two years.
1t was my intention to treat the
communication with silent contempt,
but learning that you are endeavor-
ing to make political capital out of
the same, and deeming it likely that
here may, perhaps, be "a few Demo-
| Gratis in this State, who have for
gotten their base treason and perfdy
to the Democratic party at the last
Presidential election, l propose stat
ting few facts relating to the course
which you and your committee (Ol
pursued, and show that you deserve
execration and scorn of every true
Democrat in the State.
1t then recites in detail how Den
mis- attempted TO secure the chair
manship and failed. 1t is conf
plete disposal of Dennis claims from
the records of the committee.
He closes his letter as follows:
For the last two years you and
your fraudulent committee have
posed before the people as the only
true and loyal Democrats in this
State, and have caused to be filed
with the President and in the various
departments at Washington, your
and their application for every Fed
sral position in this State, thus
clearly explaining the sole and only
reason which has actuated yourself
and confederates in the course you
pursued during the last two years,
but the trick was to transparent; the I
President and Democrats in Wash
ington declined to be misled by
your duplicity and double dealing. ]
In word-you got left-you were
reminded that your name Z
was dennis"
1 have now fairly, candidly and as t
briefly as possible stated all the facts A
pertaining to your pretended claim to 81
De called Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Nevada
md l am willing to submit to the p
Judgment of all fair minded, unpreju-
Iced men, the worth of value of the
upon which you base such IS
claim. =
Your published letter is replete
Nth foul and vindictive abuse, accu- O
ations having no other foundation ca
han your own disorder and distorted
which even the science or
f DIR. Kelley could not overcome or tb
ure.
Now sir, in conclusion, ask, how
'ere you engaged in serving the
party at the last Presi- U
entail election and what were your a
lotives? Was your voice heard on
le stump proclaiming Democratic on
rinciples, or were you occupied in til
Democratic ideas in the -
ress of the STATED Your published
tier would indicate that you were =,
''stalwart' of this order, but to the vi
'ntrary, the truth is that during the a.
Impaign, Immediately preceding
lat election, you were engaged in
lifting the most radical Republican ~ ~.
swspapsr in the State, whose col -
ms were replete with vituperation Az
I'd abuse of the Demo- cratic party,
,p)ying the most ..opprobrious Cpl
cts, ard holding up to ridicule the
omocratic candidate for President,
whose feet immediately after the
ectlon you Frustrated yourself as a 80
serving mendicant for office. Hypo- "a
tie; false to the very principles 4
hich you arraign others for desert
g, not possessed even the manhood
uphold or vindicate the principles
